Storyline

The countrymen in the hills of Missouri take the hounds on night fox hunts. This goes on until Jacob Terry comes into the county and decides to raise sheep and install a woven wire fence. This upsets the neighbors since the dogs would not harm the sheep and they will be hurt running into the fence at night. Jacobs vows to shoot any dogs or people that he finds on his land. But Bengy Davis is in love with Camden Terry and that alone causes problems. But when the hound, Bugle Ann is missing one night, both sides are out with guns to settle the score.

Where can I get Voice of Bugle Ann on VHS?

This was the first movie my grandparents saw together...and they're still reminiscing about it. I want to get them a copy and watch it with them. I can't seem to find it online in VHS (video tape) anywhere...only the book at Borders. The TCM channel played it in July 2002, so I wonder if anyone taped it then? I would pay $$ for a copy!
