The art and skill of fox hunting became wildly popular in 1700’s Europe. As the recreation grew worldwide, pouring into the U.S., so did the method of catching the foxes. Dogs were used to track and corner these sly creatures. Thus, the identity of the fox hound came about. In East Texas, the sport was very popular in the 1950’s and 60’s. Especially in the tiny portion of the Sabine National Forest, known as the Boles Field Campground. Here, folks from all over would participate in hunts and show off their prized, skilled pups. Today, you can visit a beautiful, tiny memorial from many of the champion fox hounds that graced this area of the piney woods. Take a short stroll and admire the headstones that line the grounds of the National Hall of Fame Cemetery of Foxhounds. Here, you will discover the love that each owner had for their family dog as you read the heartfelt, and proud, descriptions on each plaque of granite. It’s truly a heartwarming, and interesting, experience. Oh! We need to mention that Boles Field is a truly remarkable place to camp and admire the outdoors. RV and tents can be set up in a variety of wonderful locations in this incredible sliver of the Sabine National Forest, for a fee of $6. This weekend, enjoy a visit to one of the most unique cemeteries in East Texas, as you admire the rich heritage of fox-hounding and awesome scene of the forest.
