Hound Dog Podcast Network by The Sportsmen's Empire

It’s time for another visit with octogenarian coon hunter Fred Moran. Fred is affectionately known as Fred Moran the Redbone Man and has been for decades. Moran is now 88 years young and is still following the hounds of the night even though he has cut back to “two or three” nights a week by his own admission. Steve had been concerned about his old friend, largely due to age and some health concerns but finds Fred to be in rare form for this episode. Moran episodes always entertain and there’s always something for the listener no matter the demographic. Settle if with the pair, hunters that collectively account for 166 years of experience, and enjoy some quality time with The Redbone Man.We would like to thank those who support this podcast.

Steve lands the interview with one of his most-highly sought-after guests in this episode. Al Metcalf of Barnesville, Georgia is a tree dog enthusiast like no other. His transformation from a 32-year veteran of the Georgia Highway Patrol to what can only be described as the renaissance man of tree dog enthusiasts, Medcalf is a throwback to a time when men hunted for food and the tree dog was essential to their survival. Medcalf’s mantra “If it climbs, it’s not trash” and his waste-not-want-not attitude toward tree game reveal the soul of a real hunter and woodsman, the kind rarely seen today. Medcalf hunts a mixed bag of Plotts, Mountain Curs and Plott/Cur crosses, with little concern for popular breeds or bloodlines and proves, when the record button turns red, to be a storyteller par excellence.

This episode finds its roots in a text message in which a listener asks Steve if he’s going to do a podcast on Field Trials and Water races. Steve’s immediate response is, “I’m going to now.”Nate Hickson is a brand shiny new tree dog enthusiast, but not at all new to training dogs. In fact dog training is his vocation, it’s just that his is not the type of training we normally associate with trail and tree dogs.Nate had lots of questions for the old timer and Steve doesn’t hold back. The origin of field trails as the precourser to Nite Hunts is a good place to begin the conversations and things sort of accelerate from there. Citing the UKC’s centenial publication The First 100 Years as a reference source, Steve, who authoring many of the articles in the book, takes Nate, and the listener on a fact-filled journey back to the 1930s in this interesting look at the genesis of hound games and ends by asking the question, will the Field Trails and Water Races be the game of the future. It’s an interesting question framed in a lot of interesting accounts and rememberances. Enjoy.We would like to thank those who support this podcast.

When Steve and his partner in coonhounds Mark Miller made the decision to offer their young Quadruple Grand Champion Bear Pen Fever at stud, a young couple from southeastern North Carolina were the first to book a breeding. Lucas and Kayleigh Clemmons, both in their 20s decided to take a chance on the unproven stud dog after losing the hound that had intended to use. The bitch the Clemmons duo wanted to breed was a two-year old Plott female they named Lean Mean JoleneIn this episode Steve talks with the Clemmons’ about the decision, the surprise the litter of twelve provided them and the decision to raise the entire litter in their home. This is a great conversation for hunters wishing to get their spouses involved in their sport and addresses the advantages to be had and the pitfalls to be avoided. Lady listeners will particularly enjoy Kayleigh’s perspective on hounds and hunting from a woman’s point of view.With so many young hunters entering the hound sports today, this episode provides the answer to the age old question, is coon hunting strictly a man’s game.

The theme for the popular Dukes of Hazard tv show features the following line:“Straight'nin' the curves, flat’nin the hills. Someday the mountain might get ‘em, but the law never will.”This episode features two “good ole boys” in the persons of host Steve Fielder and his Kentucky-born guest Jerry Barker. Like the Bo and Luke Duke theme suggests, the boys “make their way” through a pile of coon hunting topics that should resonate with anyone comfortable enough to wear the good ole boy label themselves.This one comes through as tasty as country ham bathed in red eye gravy with grits on the side. It’s a down-home kind of “thang” that anyone identifying with the “good ole boy” label will enjoy. “Just a good ol' boys, wouldn’t change if they could, fightin’ the system like modern day Robin Hoods.” Good ole boys.We would like to thank those who support this podcast.

Houndsmen and hound women join the hound-hunting sport chiefly for one purpose, to experience the audible thrill of the chase, the proverbial music of the hounds. Imagine if you will, a consummate hound hunter since youth, loving this sport above all other experiences and facing the real possibility that he will lose his hearing, rendering him no longer able to experience the sport that which he truly loves?Our guest this week was that hunter. His story includes his failed attempts to join the military, his early days of competition hunting, his affinity for bluegrass music, his discovery of a hidden talent which he exhibits for our host, and the story of his fear that surgical attempts to save his hearing could leave him totally deaf. It’s a story of faith, determination,and overcoming seemingly impossible obstacles.Brad Hall works for jet engine manufacturer Rolls Royce in Indianapolis. He is launching a new venture in the form of a podcast to bring coon hunters of faith to his microphone to share their stories, all of which center around the sport of raccoon hunting and include testimonies of faith. Steve takes the opportunity to explore the content Brad plans to bring to his show as the two longtime friends share this common interest. We would like to thank those who support this podcast.

Steve met Matthew Huff three years ago on social media. The hunters shared a love for tree dogs that brought them to a personal meeting at the 2022 Grand American Coon Hunt in South Carolina. Huff’s story is unique. It begins in California and moves eastward to Georgia. The catalyst for his mostly urban coon hunting activities came in the form of a mixed breed, mostly hound, with perhaps a shot of Treeing Walker dog named Sargeant. As his travels took him across the nation Huff continued to hunt the orphaned Sarge mostly by himself on public grounds and parks until a purebred Bluetick entered the picture. That’s were we find Huff today, treeing coons with regularity and assuming the more common role of hound and hunter with a traditional coonhound breed. Mentioning Huff as an urban coon hunter, he now lives in metro Atlanta. Activities inspired by the Orthodox Christian Church with whom he affiliates, have taken him to the mountains of West Virginia and to the Carolinas helping those in need, something that comes naturally to the humanitarian. This is an interesting episode that proves that hounds can lead us in many directions, some of which we may never had expected. We would like to thank those who support this podcast.

After a hard season comes to an end, Heath catches back up with George Lambert (Mountainmusicandmules) to discuss what they both saw this season. Hunting the same region a couple hours apart they both had similar experiences. Low food sources, seeming low bear numbers to young dogs running anything to would satisfy their urge to scorch the earth. George and Heath take it to the next level. Join us on What’s up Wednesdays.

Bear hunter Holt Collier, who was the guide for the famous “teddy bear” hunt that earned President Theodore Roosevelt his nickname, can lay claim to taking a sitting president bear hunting. That’s a distinction similar to that of our guest but not quite. Our guest Mark Israel of Smithfield, Georgia, took the 39th President of the United States coon hunting and not just once, but several times following the family friend’s term in office.Steve met Israel during his PKC days and Mark related to our host, several stories of his hunts with the peanut farmer from Plains, Georgia turned governor and ultimately president of the United States, Jimmy Carter. Carter’s famous farm in Plains sits a mere six miles from the Israel family’s homestead.Carter served the State of Georgia as its governor from 1971 to 1975 and the nation as president, from 1977 to 1981. He received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his humanitarian work.This exclusive Gone To The Dogs podcast presents an interesting conversation involving hounds, coon hunting, secret service agents and an inside look at a man that once was the most powerful man in the world.

This episode drops on the Monday before Thanksgiving. Steve extolls the joys of one of his favorite times of year as the episode opens. Thanksgiving could well be called the hunter’s holiday since so much hunting activity routinely takes place on and around the traditional holiday.Fellow podcast content creator Clayton Stark’s post on social media forms the basis for reflections by many members of the hound hunting community as they recall special memories. Moreso than any other, Thanksgiving is a holiday for families; sumptuous meals, football games, recounts of family adventures combine to make the most, for some, enjoyable holiday of the year.A phone call with Steve’s hunting buddy and frequent traveling companion Arnold “Nubbin” Moore rounds out the conversation as they discuss the upcoming annual trip to Arkansas and the White River National Wildlife Refuge.

Jones describes first hand what it’s like to see entire towns, bridges and highways swept away with no warning. This frank conversation exposes the insensitivities of those outside the region and the shear hopelessness felt by citizens of the region, many of them hound people themselves. Jones describes the devastation and recounts the terrible tragedy as a fellow coon and bear hunter on a rescue mission with his boat is swept under a bridge and has not been seen. It’s not the average feel-good episode but it does reveal the importance of living each day as if it is the last.I felt it important to do this podcast at this particular time if for no other reason than to bring help and comfort to those that are so badly in need.

When the Autumn Oaks interviews suffered a hit by unexpected electronic foes, the onsite conversation with Plott aficionado Bill Shininger and youth handler/hunter Hannah Cable had to be rescheduled after the event. What would seem to be a disappointment, lacking the on-site flavor of the crowd at Oaks, the interview turned out to be an easy-listening episode that listeners are sure to appreciate.Shininger is no newcomer to the podcast while Cable is a first-timer. The exchange runs the gamut of all things Plott dogs. Shininger is a breeder and fancier that has hitched his kennel’s star to a standout stud dog named Lazarus, winner of the trifecta for Plotts with three-in-a-row victories at the prestigious Plott Days event hosted annually by the National Plott Hound Association.The name Cable is legendary in the coonhound world through the exploits of Hannah’s older brother Kevin, handler and promoter of the famed Big Money-line of Treeing Walker dogs. Kevin’s seventeen-year-old sister Hannah has also earned considerable acclaim but with her Plott dogs. Showing and sometimes hunting Gambler, her first Plott and Joe, brother to Shininger’s stud dog Lazarus, Hannah has compiled a long list of wins, largely in Bench Show competition but not all.Shininger and Cable appear in this episode because of their demonstrated willingness to give back to the sport they love. Shininger’s efforts in encouraging hunters to preserve their hounds through frozen semen and Cable’s efforts to encourage and help other youth to excel in the hound sport she loves make them both worthy of your time. The inspiration and encouragement they bring is infectious.We would like to thank those who support this podcast.
