Josh and Steve visited this summer in Florida when Josh brought his family down to enjoy the beaches.He and his sons Bryson and Peyton joined Steve for lunch at a favorite watering hole and spent some time at the Tampa Bass Pro Shops complex. Josh and Steve talk coonhounds and coon hunting and cover the trauma of losing a good hound, discuss coon conservation in an age when coons seem to be worthless from a monetary standpoint, and paint a picture of coon hunting in one of the most challenging areas of the country, an area with which both are intimately familiar. Josh talks about his current hounds and some pups in which he and boys are placing their future hopes and dreams. This one is vintage coon talk from a couple of guys with a West Virginia twang that is sure to tickle your fancy as you anticipate, as do they, the opening of coon season in the mountains and across the country.

The episode includes an on-the-scene conversation in North Carolina with Mark Miller on the morning following a Saturday night pleasure coon hunt before Steve heads back to Florida to batten down the hatches before the storm hits. The original plan for this episode was to interview coon hunters in North Carolina, Virginia and Pennsylvania and bear hunters in Virginia. Unfortunately, Mother Nature had different ideas.

Buddy starts us off with a little preseason update on his and Bradley’s upcoming moose hunt. He also has a few “ideas” for Garmin to make life a little easier in the field. We also get the whole story of Buddy and James’ hunt from last winter. After some kidding around the three get to dive into their thoughts on the age-old debate of “silent” vs “open mouth” dogs. They give their pros and cons, but we know there are other opinions, so we want to hear what you think. If you want to “Change my mind”, lets hear it!

Steve sits down with a young man whom he believes to be the hardest hunter, for his age, of all the coon hunters he has met over his seventy years of following hounds. If it gets dark at close of day Kesten Jessee will be out there with his hounds. The amazing thing about this 28-year-old hunter is he is largely self-taught and his hounds are too. His success story revolves around his current hound Clyde, obtained as a four-month-old pup and trained with no help from other dogs, nor from released coons nor other popular methods. The dog has never had an e-collar on his neck and at fifteen months old, has treed more than one hundred coons in an area where coons are particularly scarce. Without letting the coon out of the crib, so to speak, let’s give a listen to an interesting interview with purist Kesten Jessee, coon hunter and dog trainer extraordinaire! This one is for those of you that are attempting to do it yourself.

Today Bear is joined by Charlie and Nick to talk a bit about expectations, the definition of “trash” and the overabundance of “know it all’s” and the never-ending supply of advice from social media. Sometimes the owner is just as, if not more inexperienced than the dog and we should put just as much effort into novice handlers as we do the dogs. Good things come to those who wait and sometimes the best dogs just take a little work to get there.

Skip may have cut his teeth in the South, but the lions of Montana are his new found passion. Starting off as a youngster, Skip knew that he had a love for working dogs. Over the years as he grew so did his passion and experience in the dog woods. We have talked a lot in past episodes about the different requirements, and sometimes totally different dogs required to pursue a given species, but this is a great conversation with long time Houndsman that has ran everything from deer to hog, bear, lions and about everything in between. Pull up a seat and join us for some off the cuff "raw talk".

Plagued by a car breakdown in Mexico, Dale spends the night by himself in the desert and recalls the hoops that him and Doby had to go through to get a mechanic at about 25:00. With nerves of steel, Dale, his friend and their trusted hunting dogs track a jaguar into a cave and Doby to harvest his first jaguar.

As they contemplate the trip and all it will entail in the coming days, they take time to recall the Autumn Oaks 25th anniversary event in Jasper, Indiana in 1984, 39 years ago! Nubbin remembers well the years 1984, 1985 and 1986 when his Black and Tan Hank was declared National Grand Nite Champion of the Black and Tan breed in each of those years was overall winner in 1984. The boys talk about the upcoming trip to the White River National Wildlife Refuge in this episode and admit, with some remorse and no little trepidation that they are getting older and may be needing to seek younger hunters to join the trips going forward to assist in handling the dogs. They’re not there yet but that picture is obviously coming into view.The Gone To The Dogs podcast is nothing if not a candid discussion whomever the guest may be and this one is no exception. But true to form, the boys have a good time when they get together and that’s evident throughout the episode. We’re betting you’ll enjoy the stories and the banter in this latest account of Fielder and Moore On The Road.

These three don’t get to catch up often, but when they do its usually good for a laugh or two. Buddy, Jason and Ron swap some great stories of “ground shrinkage”, misjudging game, and a crazy bear story from north of the boarder! If you like big bear stories this is one for you! We also talk some birddogs and get some tidbits of training tips from Ron to help Sadie out.

Today’s episode starts with a story from the 1930’s We have heard stories of ‘Ol Budwiser in previous episodes, but never like this! A Broken britchen sent Dale on a rodeo ride he will never forget. Not knowing how bad he was hurt, Dale gave himself a check over, checked for all his teeth and was back in the saddle a week later. A later event that did cause a trip to the Dr revealed the damage done by Ol Budwiser. Even after the abuse Dale still bought the mule but he was ready for his shenanigans. If you like trainwrecks and rodeos this episode will scratch the itch. Dale also recalls the night they called a Jaguar in a little too close for comfort. On a pale lit night, the nerves of steel Dale had gained over years of hunting shined through. Ill tell ya, chasing a Jaguar at night is enough to make anyone question their sanity.

It may have been a Walker dog world for many but deep in the cold-stream hollows and sandstone-faced cliff rows of southern West Virginia coal country, the Plott dog was king. Among recognizable names like King, Moore, Walker, Bolen, Wickham and even Fielder from that region, none reached the level of acclaim in the Nite Hunt game to match that of our guest, John Sturgill. Sturgill gained his well-deserved reputation through the exploits of his Grand Nite Champion Timberline Tack dog, followed by the Tack II and Tack III from subsequent generations.With three National Grand Nite Champion of Breed titles with Tack II and Taxi, and an in-your-face win as high-scoring male win at Southeastern Treeing Walker Days with Tack, Sturgill’s fame spread throughout the coonhound world.Now, at age 73, and with two knee and two hip replacements to his credit, Sturgill is still hunting and winning with his beloved brindles. Sturgill’s insight into training and his unique perspective on hunting Plotts compared to other breeds make this an interesting and entertaining hour and twenty minute visit with a hunter that, despite the Walker dog’s popularity, simply chose to march to a different drum.

A 14 day Jaguar hunt was not uncommon, but staying the duration was another story. Dale found himself with plenty of time for training/working dogs and scouting the next hunt as most hunters would harvest their animal and quickly return to their normal lives. The rugged and rough country was not something they found to be a pleasurable “walk in the park”.Dale recalls a conversation with fellow hunter/trapper Shorty Lyons about some Jaguar advice.Shorty seemed to be getting on plenty of good tracks, but the dogs just could not seem to close the deal. In Dales normal and humble manner, his advice hit like a Mac truck… “You better find yourself a new pack of dogs if you want to catch them.” And Dales words rang true over the rest of Shorty’s trip along with his next as he never caught a jaguar with his hounds. This leads into a great insight into the secret to big game hunting, grit! We also get to hear about the “Bonus Bounty Bear” responsible for over $30,000 in cattle loss! https://www.youtube.com/c/InterviewsStoriesandTales https://www.youtube.com/c/BrettVaughnCBVTV https://www.patreon.com/CBVTV?fbclid=IwAR3_ezq3oZf93eocipThrARo4zeuFGiMEzLbH0hxK--0K- IXn7rgXyEXax8 http://www.specialty-feeds.com/valu-pak.html?fbclid=IwAR1lhK2rm6ftnTzEtkP7AozLvW6Z2vyH5tpNf_TdgzIWctcCAmAh2Sx5k4o https://podcast.dusupply.com/ 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

Steve catches Hawkins tending the fire as he hickory-smokes jalapeno and cheddar cheese-laced summer sausage, a six-hour process at 165 degrees. The two old friends use a third of the time to catch up on memories of their days with PKC hunting, with mutual friends like Tam and Clay Young and publisher Terry Walker. This one is also for the straight-talking good ole boys among us as Hawkins talks straight about today’s dogs and hunters and the way things have gone in the hunts from his many experiences over the years. The boys talk on into the night as the smoker breaks down the fat and the back and forth renders some pretty solid content, proving that all coon hunting conversations are not just about good ole boys blowing smoke. Get yourself a beverage and savor the coon talk, Arkansas-style.

Steve joined the PKC staff in 1998, the same year his guest Rusty Jones made the final four and placed second overall in the PKC Youth World Championship at Aurora. A recent phone conversation between the longtime friends prompted Steve to record this look back at one of the most enjoyable times for both he and Jones as well as thousands of other coon hunters, in all their years of experience with the sport.Jones and Steve paint a mental picture of the Tennis Center, not only by describing the physical attributes of the legendary venue but also by sharing stories of the people that made each visit to Aurora so special each year when October rolled around. This is coon hunting conversation with a nostalgic twist that will make those that never experienced Aurora wish they had, and all that were fortunate to be there, to yearn passionately to go back again.

The mission of this podcast, in part, is to entertain listeners each week with content that scratches that “scanlous coonhunt itch” affecting us all at set of sun or with the mere mention of hounds and hunting. Three thousand listeners per episode, over the last twenty-six weeks, indicate that the effort is hitting the mark in that regard.Secondary to the desire to entertain is the firm determination to record for posterity, the stories of as many of the coon hunting’s major influences and exceptional contributors as possible in the afforded time. In this episode the two longtime friends discuss Logan’s beginnings, his introduction to Treeing Walker hounds, the individual stand-out hounds that made “Logan’s Wild” a familiar by-word, and descriptions of the hounds that made the brand famous. The show finishes with a then-and-now look at the sport from which neither veteran hunter is remotely considering retiring despite the fact each is nearing the four-score mark in age. This one has something for coon hunters of all ages and levels of experience. There’s history, humor, hyperbole and hope, all wrapped up in an hour and forty-minutes of vintage coon hunting conversation that we’re willing to bet you will thoroughly enjoy.

Today Elijah takes time away from his training season to talk some dogs. Elijah has been around hounds from an early age. But when the bear hunting bug sunk its teeth into him, it was game over.

Risk was injured in a HALO (High Altitude, Low Opening) jump that ended his SERE active-duty career, but he continues to teach military skills to soldiers at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Steve and Courtney hunted together throughout Steve’s tenure with the American Kennel Club in Raleigh, North Carolina from 2006 to about 2013. Born in Nebraska and growing up in southern California, Courtney’s mother took her family back home to Iowa where he hooked up with a coon hunting uncle and started a lifelong journey with the hounds of the night.This is a multifaceted conversation about hunting in Washington State, New Mexico, Missouri and North Carolina. The boys discuss favorite hounds and a myriad of coon hunting’s most recognizable personalities, including Jess Dickerson and the late Timothy Ball, both of which Risk was and is well-acquainted.Risk reveals his affinity for Iowa-Style Walker dogs and how he includes the slogan of the 19-time National Championship-winning University of Iowa wrestling program in the names of his hounds having Hawkeye roots. This a good conversation for coon hunters that appreciate the wide scope of the sport whether geographically or from the standpoint of interesting personalities one meets along the way.You’ll count this one as time well spent.

Today's episode starts of with some of Dales work on a biological survey in the depths of winter. To add to the challenges, Dale had to do this one without the aid of his horses. We also learn that even the Lee dogs had a train-wreck here and there, so Dale gives us some hope for trash dogs. One could say this hunt had its share of hiccups but as usual it makes for a great story. Dale's humor shows through while he tries to pull the wool over his brother’s eyes, but a keen ear ruins his fun.

In this episode, Steve’s partner Mark Miller is in the studio to discuss pup training, how he has successfully trained his Grand Nite Champion (2) Treeing Walker and how he is applying his training principles to a project he and Steve own together, an eight-month-old Plott Hound pup named Fever. Fever is a bright pup and is responding well to Mark’s training regimen. Miller goes over the steps he’s applied to bring Fever from a green four-month-old to a pup that has treed his own coon and split treed from the dogs at less than eight months of age.This podcast is designed to help coonhound trainers realize success when starting a well-bred pup, from weaning age to the competition stage. Newcomers as well as old hands to the game will benefit from the conversation.Enjoy.www.stevefielderbooks.comGONE TO THE DOGS PODCAST with Steve Fielderhttps://www.dusupply.com/gone-to-the-dogs-coonhunting-book.html 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

This episode travels back to the heyday of competition hunting when UKC events were experiencing their highest levels of participation, when the Purina Outstanding Nite Hunt Coonhound Award was competition-hunting’s most difficult most-sought-after prize and when hunters crisscrossed the countryside in search of coveted points to be counted at year’s end. It was the greatest of times in terms of national recognition for one’s achievements in the game and a time when the name Duke Proulx was legend among all others. With two UKC World Championships and two Purina Award championships to his credit, Proulx (pronounced Prue) was one of the most successful competitors of the day and in fact, of all time.This episode contains a lengthy conversation between two individuals who remember the era well, one from the field and one from behind the administrative desk. If you have heard of the guy with the unusual name and wondered what makes him tick, now’s your chance to meet The Duke. You will enjoy the experience.

Joeri Goedertier has spent most of his life working with and training dogs. Today we get to dive a little deeper into his new approach on training in reverse. While watching and learning from others is a great jumping off point in training, there comes a time that you will find yourself asking the infamous question, why? Why did this exercise work? Why did this dog react so differently to the others? Why am I awake at 2am thinking about what happened? Here is a new perspective and some logic behind his method of working things backwards. If you want to check out our previous podcast with Joeri, make sure to give episode 46: From Secret Service to World Champion with Joeri Goedertier a listen. https://podcast.dusupply.com/episodes/ep-46-joeri-goedertier 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

Steve shares the Gone to the Dogs microphone this week with a charming and equally interesting guest from the State of Florida, Martha Brown. Coming from a bird dog background as a child, Brown learned the coon hunting sport from a local hunter affectionally known as Uncle Fred. When the coon hunting bug bit like a Florida mosquito, for Brown there was no turning back. A nurse professionally, Brown competition-hunted early on with English dogs but switched to the Treeing Walker breed and never looked back. Thinks came to a screeching halt when Hurricane Michael devasted her hunting territory in 2018. Brown’s newly completed home was mildly damaged but her property, including her kennels and all her trees on her were destroyed. If that were not enough, Brown was soon diagnosed with cancer. But Brown is no quitter, and her story has a happy ending.Steve met Martha Brown as she competed in the UKC Winter Classic coonhound competition in Albany, Georgia and was immediately impressed by her knowledge of hounds and hunting, qualities he judged to be on equal footing with some of the most knowledgeable hunters in the game. Brown, at the height of her hunting career was recognized as a topflight competitor, judge, and trainer of quality hounds. The conversation between two friends is ripe with memories and gets good when Steve coaxes Brown to share tales from her glory days in the sport.
