John Monroe is a household word in the coon hunting world, especially in the Treeing Walker breed. Jim Merchant, Joe House and Monroe are the three most famous hunters that ever entered a Night Hunt, advertised a stud dog or bred a litter of Treeing Walker pups.When John Monroe gave $3500 for an eight-year old dog that would become one of the most famous in Treeing Walker history, the immortal Finley River Chief, he bought Chief because the hound’s son, Finley River Spot, was sterile. Monroe had bought Spot for $2000 and only realized the dog was missing females after he won the prestigious ACHA World Championship. This episode is John Monroe’s story of Chief, Spot, Finley River Joe and a host of other famous hounds as told by John himself. It’s a story of determination and longevity if nothing else, but there’s so much more.Monroe is still coon hunting and breeding Treeing Walker hounds at eighty-two years of age. Listen as he tells the remarkable story of his experiences with the iconic line of Treeing Walker hounds known the coon hunting world over as Finley River.

In this timely episode, we get to the very heart of the coon hunting sport, the coon hunter's club and the state and national organizations. Without the clubs there are no events, no winners, no losers, no heroes, no villains, no awards, no trucks, no photos, no opportunities to blow and go on social media. It's just that simple and in this episode Steve gets down to the nitty gritty with a real club-supporting workhorse that's had enough of the apathy that prevails among many hunters today, those that feel their only obligation is to pay an entry fee and beyond that, to take the clubs to task on social media when things don't go to their liking. This is a no-holds-barred discussion about the importance of club membership and participation and is only as important as is the future of our sport itself. Buckle up for our interview with North Carolinian Jeff Robinson. It's a good 'un.

In today’s tales, Dale talks about his trip to Oregon in pursuit of Mt. Lion. Houndsmen of the past had hurdles that we wouldn’t even think of. Would you ship your dogs halfway across the country by train? Dale tells the story of why he couldn’t be on that train with his dogs, hunting the Pacific Northwest, and how serious he takes breakfast. One could say the man got a little "hangry".

Vendors play an extremely important role in hound sports. Houndsmen, and especially those whose activities take them into the outdoors in early morning or late evening hours realize the importance of a bright, dependable, portable source of light in order to safely and successfully follow our hounds. This episode features a vendor that has been involved in the design and manufacture of his Bright Eyes brand of lights, primarily for coon hunters, for more than twenty years. A coon hunter with a penchant for Black and Tan Coonhounds, Ray Conrad has served as national president for one of the nation's largest breed associations, The American Black and Tan Coonhound Association. As an entrepreneur, Conrad has continually brought new products to the forefront at major coonhound events and in his advertisements in major coonhound publications.

Just days before this podcast was recorded, Jordan lost a hound and had one badly torn up by wolves, not 20 feet in front of him.

Elijah Burnett, at age 26, epitomizes the fledgling hound or tree dog enthusiast of today.Motivated, intrigued and thirsty for all the knowledge he can garner to enhance his experience, he also is uniquely possessed of the one quality many in his age group seem to find the hardest to grasp, the patience to let the training work. Since the inception of Gone To The Dogs Podcast, the goal has been to communicate with the Elijahs of our sport, in the ways you will hear in this enjoyable episode. Like the prophet of old who was taken to Heaven in a fiery chariot only to bring miracles and help to those in trouble, it will be the modern-day Elijahs that will preserve, promote and protect our sport for present and future generations.

Andy White checked all the boxes in my search for a unique guest for this podcast. Andy hunts coons in an unlikely place in the country, he works close to nature in both of his occupational pursuits, and he hunts a breed of dog of which I have no experience but is a breed in which I’ve been interested for a long period of time, the Yellow Black Mouthed Cur. Andy and I discuss coon hunting in the frigid North, coon populations, unique hunting methods and the size of the native U. P. raccoon. Andy also draws the differences in hunting with the cur dogs and the English Coonhound he recently acquired. If you have wondered if perhaps a cur dog is for you, this episode should answer your questions about the breed. You may want to put on a wool hunting coat, add a log to the fire and grab something to warm your innards as we go coon hunting Yooper-style.

Each of the four players in this episode have hunted coons for sixty years or more. Their combined age of 297 autumns is nearly 300 years and each year now. They gather to follow hounds in the big woods of the Arkansas delta. At the heart of their annual hunt is the endless discussion at mealtimes and around the camp when hounds are fed and watered and beverages poured, of the memories of bygone hounds or hunters gone on to their rewards that continue into the wee, small hours, only to be rejoined over steaming cups of coffee and heaping plates at the breaking of each new day. These are the coon hunting conversations that form the foundation of the experience that continues to motivate these men to come year after year to the White River Refuge. Join Nubbin Moore, Morris Hardy, Randy Smith and Steve as they talk dogs and all things coon hunting in this, the last Gone To The Dogs podcast of the 2021 year. Happy New Year!

Steve has spent at least four Decembers at the White River Refuge hunting camp with the featured guest of this episode. The two hunting buddies take a break from the camp’s routine of eating, sleeping, hunting, and yarn-stretching to record an episode chronicling the life of one of coon hunting’s most unique figures, retired Army veteran Keith Durkee. As the resident Yankee in a camp full of southern rednecks, Durkee gives as much as he takes when the North vs. South ribbing starts. Keith has coon hunted all across the nation and is a veteran competition hunter. He won the prestigious AKC World Championship with a Treeing Walker hound of his own breeding. The depth of his hound knowledge is legion and his insight into the way the competition game works is educational. You’ll enjoy the story that begins on an island off the coast of Maine, moves to the Pacific northwest and settles in the piney woods of central Alabama.You’ll learn what a “yad” is and come away with the feeling that interpreting the English language may not always be as easy as it seems. With the December Arkansas sun peeping through the bunkhouse window, Durkee and Fielder get down to the nitty-gritty of why they follow the hounds of the night, and will put a craving on the listener to put it all into motion when the sun goes down.
