Very well done piece of journalism.
Just a couple immediate responses I had after reading and watching the whole thing:
Those guys in HNF know what hunting is about.
Russ Bellar is an even bigger slimeball than I previously thought
well done, Indystar. Well done.
I know Russ Bellar through the coon hound world and can tell you there is no one in our sport that has done more for more young people than him. I have been to his facility several times-not for deer hunting, but for a coon hound training program he used to run. The facility is clean and massive. I belong to an organization called Hoosier tree dog alliance. We have a yearly banquet and the last 2 years it has been at the Peru coon club, which Russ basically built. Both years he has bought up probably 2/3 of the auction items, then at the end of the auction he picked out the kids in the crowd and gave all the items he just bought to them! Agree or disagree with his beliefs about deer as marketable stock, he is NOT a slime ball!
