Chris Miller was born in Kokomo, Indiana in 1987. He’s been hunting deer since the age of nine, and first got into hounds at age 10. Chris started with a pair of beagles, then moved on to coondogs and coyote hounds. He has always been passionate about hounds and tries to instill that love of hounds into his kids. Chris got his start in deer tracking eight years ago with a Chesapeake Bay Retriever. He learned a lot and figured out he needed a dog with more tracking drive to suit his personality and style of tracking. He fell in love with bloodhounds, and they turned out to be the best choice. To this day he tracks with bloodhounds and and probably always will.
