Unlike many avid foxhunters, Larry Pitts didn't have a childhood filled with ponies and foxhunting. As a child, growing up in Guilford County, N.C., Larry Pitts rode his grandfather's mule every time he could.
"Mostly, it was when my father borrowed it to cultivate tobacco," he recalled.
But with the exception of a four-year hiatus in the U.S. Navy, Pitts has been hunting hounds of one variety or another since he was old enough to walk.
"As a child, I hunted Beagles with my father," he said.
