(AUDIO) Hank Jr.’s Best Hunting Buddies…Elly May, Dakota, Tiger, and Bitter Root

We all know that Bocephus is a country boy that sings songs about his rowdy friends. And when it comes to some of his favorite past times, he’ll tell you just like he does in his songs…he likes to hunt and he likes to fish.

So, who goes with him on all those trips? Sometimes a friend, but always his good, loyal buddies…his dogs.
