Cheyenne hunted with plott hounds. Two of his favorites where Thumper and Lightfoot. He was an American and National Plott Hound Association Member, and was very outspoken about the Plott Breed.
Cheyenne wrote numerous articles for the Daily Sun over several years which turned into a weekly column that he did for some time. He also wrote some one-of-a-kind stories in some popular outdoor magazines, and appeared in Full Cry Hunt Magazine often.
