Hound PodCast: Double U Hunting Supply

There’s a different kind of bond between a handler and a police K9—one built on long hours, shared risk, and a level of trust you don’t fully understand until you’ve lived it. In this episode, we’re not talking about deployments or war stories. We’re talking about the lessons that stick with you long after the dog retires. How our dogs can read us before you even make a move. How they pick up on things you don’t realize you’re showing. And how learning from that kind of awareness can make you better—not just as a handler, but as a hunter, trainer, and person. Because if you pay attention, those dogs will teach you more than you ever taught them.

This episode features the owners of the current PKC World Coonhound Champion Willy’s Little Ann. Fresh off her latest in an amazing string of major wins including the UKC World Championship and the Tournament of Champions, Little Ann is writing a chapter in the coonhound record book that may never be duplicated. In this episode John Strickland, Ashley Oxendine and Randy Smith, three of the four partners that own the reining world champion in two major registries, join Steve to tell Ann’s story to our listeners. Partnerships in the dog world are rarely successful and often are more of a business deal than a friendship. Not so with these guys. Each tells their personal versions of Ann’s story and illustrates that partners can be successful and have a close personal relationship at the same time. These guys care about their hound and they care each about the other and it shows. This is a don’t miss listen and easily makes the list of best efforts by the Gone To The Dogs Podcasts to date. See if you don’t agree.

Spring is finally showing up and it’s a great time to be in the woods. In this episode we talk about working hounds during the offseason, getting dogs back in shape, and keeping young dogs learning even after hunting season ends. We also discuss ** Turkey season right around the corner and what to look for while scouting the woods this time of year. Plus, a little fishing talk — the river has been kicking my butt lately, but the trout streams have been producing some nice Rainbow Trout and Brown Trout.

In this episode Steve covers topics that resonate with hunters that have been involved with the sport for several years as well as those that may be new comers to the sport. After raising the question in last week’s episode, “Who is the best coonhound pup trainer in the world,” Steve reviews several responses posted by members of his online Coon Hunting Conversations group. The segment segues into a discussion of the members of Steve’s local coon club in the 1970’s and recalls the names and the brief bios of 43 of those members! It’s a trip down memory lane for the host and a interesting introduction to a family of coon hunters that some listeners may recall.

The season may be over, but the work of becoming a better houndsman is just beginning. In this episode, we take a hard, honest look at post-season evaluation—what your hounds actually showed you this year versus what you hoped they were doing. Every race, every loss, every cold trail tells a story. The hunters who improve year after year are the ones willing to sit on the tailgate after the season and ask the tough questions. We break down how to evaluate your pack honestly, what traits you should be looking for, and how those observations should guide your off-season training plans. Spring isn’t just the end of hunting—it’s the beginning of building better hounds.

This week Steve dons his racing silks and takes the listener to 800-horse two-year old thoroughbred sale in Ocala, Florida for a day of education and inspiration. Rarely does he do anything that doesn’t bring him full circle to his world of working dogs. The world of coon hunting, especially concerning the animals that are central to the sport, has many parallels to the horse-racing game. We extoll the value of breeding and proof of ancestry through pedigrees for dogs and horses, we value reproduction success and keep records of performance of the offspring by listing wins, earnings and titles on registration documents. But, rounding the clubhouse turn and heading home, the ponies stretch out the lead in terms of providing the information and vehicle to move the top-performers into the winner’s circle. With thoroughbred racing, breeders, trainers and owners are privy to a plethora of information in print and online that coonhound enthusiasts can only dream about.. Steve’s visit to a sale of national prominence held in an unrivaled venue allows him to fantasize about the possibilities of the same type of program for coonhounds and ends with the question, “Who is the best coonhound trainer in the world?” We would like to thank those who support this podcast.  Special thanks to Double U Hunting Supply for sponsoring this episode.  www.dusupply.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@DoubleUHuntingSupply/podcasts

In this episode Steve addresses the changes in the way coon hunters acquire information by reviewing two books written in 1948 and 1952 respectively. The American Trail Hound by Fred Streaver and The Coon Hunter’s Handbook by Leon F. Whitney, DVM and Acil B. Underwood were two important works designed to make the training of coonhounds a successful experience 75 years or so ago. Steve finds the more things change the more they stay the same as the methods of three-quarters of a century ago appear similar to the methods coon hunters use in training dogs today. The episode also includes a tribute to a special friend who recently passed to the vast timbers and river bottoms of his eternal home, Hoosier houndsman and tree dog enthusiast George Danielson.
