This first edition copy of Life of the Greatest Guide: Hound Stories and Others of Dale Lee by Robert McCurdy is a true piece of hound hunting history.
Signed by Dale Lee himself and personally inscribed to Neil Carmony on Christmas Eve of 1981, one can only assume this was a heartfelt Christmas gift from Lee, expressing his gratitude to another dedicated preservationist of hunting history.
Neil Carmony, the editor who brought Ben Lily’s Tales of Bear, Lion, and Hounds to life, was instrumental in publishing the personal diaries of Ben Lily, ensuring that the firsthand accounts of one of the most legendary houndsmen would not be lost to time. This rare and historic volume uniquely ties together Dale Lee and Ben Lily — two of the greatest big game hound hunters of all time — making it a must-have for collectors, houndsmen, and history buffs alike.
Included with this book is a lifetime subscription to Full Cry magazine (https://www.fullcrymag.com/).

Utah Houndsmen Association – Auction Rules & Policies
The Utah Houndsmen Association (“UHA”) is a Section 501(c)(3), non-profit organization. Our mission is conservation of wildlife, education of the public, and advocacy for hunting and hunter's rights. UHA appreciates the support of its donors and members in helping to further its programs and goals. Auction revenue funds a great portion of UHA’s operating budget. Majority of the dollars raised goes to support conservation and education programs and for protection of wildlife and hunters alike. The term “auction” refers to silent auction, live auction and raffle. All auction items are donated to UHA by UHA’s partners unless otherwise noted.
Any exceptions to these Auction Rules & Policies must be reviewed and accepted by the Utah Houndsmen Association President and, if necessary, the UHA Executive Board.
AUCTION BIDDING PROCEDURES AND CONDITIONS OF SALE
1. You or your representative (designated individual must have written, notarized authorization by you stating maximum bidding price for each of the items of interest) must be registered and present during the auction to be eligible to bid. A person who bids on behalf of another person or group will be ultimately held responsible for payment in its entirety. A person registered and bidding through the official UHA online auction site will be considered registered and present for the auction.
2. All items auctioned are sold “as is.” UHA assumes no responsibility for the validity of the descriptions, authenticity, or condition of any item donated for auction. UHA makes no warranty or guarantee, express or implied regarding any property or service sold at auction including, but not limited to, any warranty of fitness for a particular purpose or merchantability. Values listed are as stated by donors and are not warranted by UHA for tax or any other purpose.
3. All items auctioned (whether goods or services) have been acquired or obtained by UHA from third parties. The purchaser acknowledges that the items have not been inspected by UHA and that the purchaser is advised, in the case of firearms, knives, bows, bullets or other weapons, to secure a competent inspection and test of the goods before use. No services auctioned are to or will be performed by UHA.
4. After bidding for an item concludes and the auctioneer designates a winning bidder, the designated winner (buyer) must immediately agree to a Buyer's Agreement. For buyers at the auction location, the buyer must sign the Buyer's Agreement and one copy will be given to the buyer. For online buyers, the buyer must click "I accept" after reading the Buyer's Agreement which, along with payment for the item, constitutes agreement to the Buyer's Agreement. For silent auctions, the Silent Auction Bid Sheet is considered the Buyer's Agreement to purchase the indicated item. All signatures on Buyer's Agreements, Silent Auction Bid Sheets and Silent Auction Sealed Bid Forms, and "I accept" with payment for online purchases, are legal and binding. UHA will not recognize changes, additions or deletions to any auction description agreed to by the buyer and donor unless such changes are noted on the Buyer's Agreement and signed by the buyer and an authorized representative of the donor, or in the case of online buyers, noted in an electronic writing exchanged between the buyer and an authorized representative of the donor.
5. By making a purchase, the purchaser waives any claim for liability against UHA or the donor of any property or service, and neither UHA nor the donor is responsible for any personal injuries or damages to property that may result from the utilization of any property or services sold. If any action or claim is made against UHA by an individual, entity, or state, local, federal, foreign or political body for any matter whatsoever arising from the use of the auctioned items, or any actions or parties conducting business with respect to the auctioned items, the donor and/or purchaser will pay UHA’s attorneys’ fees and costs and will hold UHA harmless from any judgment thereon.
6. By making a purchase, the purchaser agrees that:
a. The auction and purchases made at the auction shall be governed in all respects, whether as to validity, construction, capacity, performance, or otherwise, by the laws of the State of Utah, except as preempted by federal law and that venue for all actions, including litigation, mediation and/or arbitration, shall be in Utah County, Utah.
b. Any dispute or action arising out of or relating to the Auction and purchases made at the Auction shall first be submitted to mediation before a mediator mutually agreed to by the Parties, with said mediation to be held in Utah County, Utah. If mediation is unsuccessful, then such dispute or claim shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association or other appropriate standard relating to disputes arising out of contract, before one arbitrator, with said arbitration to be held in Utah County, Utah.
7. If during a live auction, a final bid for an item is erroneously taken from two bidders, the bidding is closed to everyone else except those two bidders. The high bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the purchaser; the auctioneer shall have the sole and final discretion to determine the successful bidder in any auction. At each live auction, there will be pre-designated bid spotters in the audience, and it is the responsibility of the bidder to direct bids to the nearest spotter. The auctioneers and spotters will make every attempt to acknowledge all desired bids, but UHA is not responsible for any missed bids or bids that fail to be executed.
8. After bidding for an item concludes and the auctioneer designates a winning bidder, the designated winner (buyer) must immediately agree to a Buyer's Agreement. For buyers at the auction location, the buyer must sign the Buyer's Agreement and one copy will be given to the buyer. For online buyers, the buyer must click "I accept" after reading the Buyer's Agreement which, along with payment for the item, constitutes agreement to the Buyer's Agreement. For silent auctions, the Silent Auction Bid Sheet is considered the Buyer's Agreement to purchase the indicated item. All signatures on Buyer's Agreements, Silent Auction Bid Sheets and Silent Auction Sealed Bid Forms, and "I accept" with payment for online purchases, are legal and binding. UHA will not recognize changes, additions or deletions to any auction description agreed to by the buyer and donor unless such changes are noted on the Buyer's Agreement and signed by the buyer and an authorized representative of the donor, or in the case of online buyers, noted in an electronic writing exchanged between the buyer and an authorized representative of the donor.
9. Successful bidders may, during or immediately following the auction, present their copy of the Buyer’s Agreement to the UHA Treasurer, where they may pay by cash, check or credit card (for an additional 3% fee). Checks should be made to Utah Houndsmen Association and must be drawn on a U.S. bank and in U.S. dollars. Any returned checks are subject to an additional 20% handling surcharge.
10. All auction items purchased at UHA Banquet auction must be paid for in full before leaving the banquet or unless other arrangements are made directly with the UHA Treasurer. Arrangements for the removal of all items must be made before the close of the banquet. Any auction items that have not been paid for, or other arrangements made directly with the UHA Treasurer, by the close of the banquet will be subject to a 10% surcharge, which will be added to the winning bid and this total will then become the purchase price. Any items not removed by the close of the banquet or for which arrangements for removal have not been made will be shipped COD to the winning bidder/purchaser, who also shall pay to UHA an additional 10% handling surcharge. Any bidder/purchaser who leaves his/her purchases at the banquet does so at his/her own risk. UHA is not responsible for any item not removed from the banquet by the winning bidder/purchaser. Items purchased through an online auction will be shipped by the online shipping representative and fees are the responsibility of the purchaser.
11. If you are unable to attend the live auction in person and wish to place bids for live auction items through a representative, you may give UHA absentee bid instructions to bid on your behalf. One of our representatives will then try to purchase your items of choice at the lowest price possible, and never for more than the top amount you indicate. However, UHA will not be held responsible for failure to execute any bid or for any errors in execution of bids. Absentee bidders will be accepted until 72 hours prior to the annual banquet event start time (typically 5:00 pm Mountain Time). To place an absentee bid, you will need to send an email to utahhoundsmen@gmail.com and complete the absentee bid arrangements before you will be considered represented at the live auction. You must provide in advance a pre-approved credit card or other method of payment, bank reference, item to bid on and maximum bidding price that is acceptable to UHA. An absentee bidder must be a member of the UHA and additionally pay any buyer’s premium fee included in the items to be bid on. UHA will accept absentee bids for up to three auction items from one individual, unless advance arrangements have been preapproved by the UHA President and UHA Treasurer.
12. Silent auction items will be showcased at the banquet for open bidding to all attendees. All open bidding, legibly written (including name, number and bid amount) will be accepted on bid boards until the close of the silent auction is announced. The highest bid from the bid boards will be highlighted and announced.
13. ALL SALES ARE FINAL. THERE WILL BE NO EXCHANGES OR REFUNDS on items or services. Unless otherwise indicated, all auction items, services and hunts must be used within one year of the date of the purchase at auction. Dates and times for applicable items are to be arranged at the mutual convenience of the donor and winning bidder/purchaser.
14. IT IS THE PURCHASER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO CONTACT THE DONOR REGARDING PURCHASED ITEMS, SERVICES OR HUNTS and to make all arrangements for hunt dates and the application for necessary of paperwork for licenses and permits. UHA is not, and will not act as, a conduit or go-between between the purchaser and donor. After the hunt has been completed, the purchaser must complete a hunt report by contacting the UHA at utahhoundsmen@gmail.com.
15. Items may be removed from the banquet location only payment has been made. Shipping will be available through a UHA representative. Fees will be quoted and will be the responsibility of the purchaser. Items purchased through an online auction will be shipped by the UHA shipping representative and fees are the responsibility of the purchaser.
16. Although UHA has made every effort to ensure the quality of donated hunts and trips, it cannot, and does not, guarantee the satisfaction of either the donor or the purchaser.
17. To protect our hunt donors, UHA reserves the right to withdraw any donated item from the auction that does not receive a bid at the minimum reserved amount. If the UHA President or the UHA Executive Board determines that it is necessary or in UHA’s best interest, the item may be offered to the last highest bidder before determining that a withdrawal is necessary. If the last highest bidder rejects the offer, the item may be considered a no sale and withdrawn and may be resold later. The UHA President or the UHA Executive Board shall have the sole and final discretion to determine the sale of a donated item.
18. Some items, such as hunts, may be subject to VAT and GST tax liabilities. Often these taxes are due and payable before the item can be taken. Other items may be subject to sales taxes. UHA does not assume responsibility for these fees. Interested bidders and buyers should verify amounts with donor and check with the local government where a hunt is to be taken to validate tax rates.
19. All firearm (excluding some types of muzzleloaders and bows) purchases made during the convention will be subject to the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993. After the close of the Convention all firearms purchased at an UHA auction or won in an UHA raffle may be returned to the UHA headquarters and shipped to the purchaser’s nearest federally licensed dealer. It will be necessary for the purchaser to provide the UHA office with an original signed copy of the dealer’s or their own federal firearm license (FFL) and a copy of the paid auction statement before shipment can be made. All shipping costs are the responsibility of the purchaser.
20. The terms and conditions set forth in the Auction Buyer Policy and the Disclaimers of Warranties and Liability are hereby incorporated herein by reference. The purchaser’s acceptance of the Buyer’s Agreement and Silent Auction Bid Sheet signifies and guarantees that the purchaser has read and understands these Auction Rules & Policies, the Auction Buyer Policy and the Disclaimers of Warranties and Liability, and the purchaser accepts and agrees to completely abide by and be legally bound by all the terms, conditions, rules and regulations for the Auction.
UHA – Auction Buyer Policy
UHA offers donated hunts and items through live auctions, silent auctions and the sale of raffle tickets for designated items. UHA’s policy for hunts or items acquired by members at auction or through a raffle program is as follows:
1. UHA offers hunts, art, jewelry, firearms and other tangible items for bid during live and silent auctions or for raffle. All items are transferred as is. All valuations are provided by donors and all descriptions are based on information provided by third parties and UHA shall in no event be held responsible for their accuracy. UHA does not make implied or expressed warranties or representation of any kind, nor does UHA deem to have made any representation or warranty of the description, genuineness, attribution, provenance or condition of any item. No statement in the UHA publications, catalogs or brochures or in the bill of sale or invoice or elsewhere shall be deemed such a warranty, representation or assumption of liability by UHA. Any written warranties with respect to the items purchased are those solely and expressly supplied by the manufacturer or donor of that item or hunt. Although third parties sometimes provide appraisals with items such as jewelry, UHA does not verify or warrant their accuracy or origin. Appraisals are the result of subjective valuations and estimates of value and quality can vary markedly between competent and reliable appraisers. The provision of an appraisal does not represent a guarantee of value. Furthermore, any written or visual presentation done or offered by third parties does not necessarily reflect the opinion or attitude of UHA.
2. The successful bidder (or “purchaser”) of an item (whether through a live auction, silent auction or raffle) will immediately sign a Buyer’s Agreement. The Buyer’s Agreement will be brought to where the purchaser is sitting for signature and the bidder/purchaser will retain one copy at that time. For silent auctions, the Silent Auction Bid Sheet is considered a Buyer’s Agreement of the purchaser to accept the indicated item and pay the bid amount. Purchaser’s signature on the Buyer's Agreement and the Silent Auction Bid Sheet demonstrate that the purchaser acknowledges that the agreement is a legal and binding contract to accept the item and pay the accepted bid amount. Any changes, deletions or additions to the description printed on the Buyer’s Agreement, which are agreed to by the purchaser and an authorized representative of the donor, must be noted and signed by both parties in order to be recognized as part of the auction purchase.
3. All auctions are final and there will be no exchanges or refunds on items or hunts. UHA has made every effort to ensure the quality of donated items or hunts. However, UHA does not guarantee the satisfaction of the donor or the purchaser in any case. In reference to hunt donations, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to contact the hunt donor immediately and make all necessary arrangements for hunt dates and the application for any necessary paperwork for licenses and/or permits. Failure to make necessary arrangements may constitute forfeiture.
4. If a purchaser fails to pay for any item prior to the close of the Banquet, UHA reserves the right to pursue all legal remedies available to it. UHA may undertake internal actions, which could result in sanctions including, but not limited to, suspension of purchaser’s membership or expulsion from UHA.
5. Although UHA makes reasonable efforts to list all extra and ancillary expenses not included in hunt, travel, service and other items, lists of expenses in auction item descriptions should not be considered exhaustive or definitive and UHA will not be held responsible for their completeness or accuracy. The amounts of additional expenses listed in auction item descriptions are approximations and are subject to change without notice. Bidders should contact relevant donors before bidding for additional and updated information about expenses one can expect to incur in taking a hunt or trip or in using a service or item.
6. All tangible items may be subject to local sales tax.
7. All the terms and conditions set forth in the Auction Rules & Policies and Disclaimers of Warranties and Liability are applicable to all items purchased at auction or through raffle and such terms and conditions are incorporated herein by reference.
