They explore the importance of hounds in scientific studies, the changing perception of houndsmen within the professional community, and the challenges they face from anti-hunting advocates. The discussion emphasizes the need for houndsmen to engage with biologists and conservationists to improve their image and contribute positively to wildlife management efforts. In this conversation, Kolby Morehead and Buddy discuss various aspects of hunting, including the negative impact of poaching on the perception of houndsmen, the emotional narratives used by anti-hunting advocates, and the importance of building and tuning custom rifles. They also delve into the pressures of competitive shooting, the significance of learning through experience, and the fundamentals of shooting.

This episode aired before the death of one of coon hunting's most successful and most colorful ambassadors. I hope you enjoy this replay from November of 2022. This episode takes us to the Ozark Mountains of Missouri and Arkansas to visit with coon hunting legend Junior Lasseter. At 73 years of age, Junior had amazing recall of events that led him from the Ozark hills to the major stages of competitive coon hunting, in the woods and on the bench. At one time in coon hunting history, there were many commercial coonhound and combination dog kennels operating out of the Ozarks. Ads appeared in the classified sections of not only the tree dog publications but in major outdoor magazines as well. Writers like Wilson Rawls created a narrative that the Ozarks were the cradle of coon hunting in America. Lasseter’s stories emanate from the same root and place him as the perfect visitant to the Gone To The Dogs microphone. Lasseter has owned National Champions on the bench in both the UKC, PKC and ACHA registries and has a final four appearance in the UKC World Championship to his credit. He’s the first, and perhaps only handler to win a pickup truck showing hounds. Lasseter’s hounds like Table Rock Flying Hawk, Table Rock Mundo, Jr., Biggerstaff’s Little Buck, and Morgan’s Tree Jamming Mundar fill the conversations in this episode. Lasseter was known far and wide in the 80’s when Steve began his career at the UKC registry.This episode is smothered with Ozark flavor, like cathead biscuits under a blanket of fried squirrel gravy. You’ll enjoy Junior’s stories. You’ll want to follow them to the source, and you will, where mountain music echoes off the ridges and swells up from the cold stream hollers of tree dog country. It’s all right here so, enjoy!

Kentucky has long been noted as the cradle of coon hunting as we know it today. The famed Walker family, noted for their namesake the Walker foxhound which was the forerunner of today’s Treeing Walker, the most popular of all coonhound breeds, lived in Kentucky. In this episode Steve recalls the first licensed hunt in which he participated took place at a coon hunting club in Kentucky. Considered by many to be the Kentucky Derby of coon hunting competitions, the massive PKC World Hunt was held in the western Kentucky town of Aurora for many years. Our guest Billy Carter joins Steve in remembering their great experiences hunting there and throughout the Bluegrass State. Upon learning of the formation of the new Kentucky Sporting Dog Alliance, Steve contacted former podcast guest Billy Carter to learn the skinny on the new group. It’s all here in this episode including the purpose and goals of the association, its plans to bring Kentucky sporting dog owners of every stripe under one tent and divulges the organization’s plans for statewide competitions involving monetary awards, all for the purpose of bringing hunters together. Everybody needs somebody and hunting dog enthusiasts nationwide need to realize and practice the adage “there’s strength in numbers.” We need to come together if our sport is to survive and thrive.

In this episode Steve talks with successful competition handler Billy Bell of Tennessee. Steve met Billy in 1998 when he joined the PKC organization as its Senior Vice President. Billy and his brother Avery were actively competing in PKC events and doing their share of winning at a time when entry fees and subsequent payouts were much smaller than they are today. Bell, has amassed nearly a half million dollars in handler earnings and continues to be a major force in today’s fast-paced competition game. The boys discuss several top hounds that Bell has handled including Carolina Peach, The Wicked Speed Shifter, Late Round Rock, Spice Girl, Cash Flow and others. Bell’s excellent recall of the hunts and hounds from his long list of experiences makes interesting conversation for competition junkies and novices alike. The episode finishes with Steve encouraging Billy to share his views on staying in top shape, physically and spiritually. It’s an episode that lives up to the show’s motto; dog talk at its finest!

In this episode, Steve travels to Columbus, Georgia, home of the U.S. Army’s Fort Benning to attend the graduation of his granddaughter from the Army Advanced Infantry Training school. He recounts his visit to the National Infantry Museum and the impact it had as it reminded him that his father completed basic training at Fort Benning in 1939 prior to WWII. The account of Steve’s trip to Fort Benning provides a perfect segue into the episode’s purpose, the recognition of all the volunteers that make possible hundreds of events that are enjoyed by so many. In the episode, Steve recalls several standout members of the Volunteer Army, many who have gone to their heavenly rewards. Listeners will recognize many of these standouts but will be reminded that anyone that sweeps the floor, flips the burgers, or manages the paperwork at a club is a soldier in the army and is valuable to the very last woman or man.

Steve invites his Florida coon hunting buddy Mack Britt to join him for a conversation about Mack’s current project, a Walker male named Clutch. The banter centers on Clutch’s progression from being a lightly-started rookie of eighteen months to his current status as Mack’s nightly choice for coon hunting in Florida’s always challenging terrain and atmospheric conditions. The value in this podcast lies in the information and encouragement it provides to hunters that may be on the verge of giving up on a hound that isn’t progressing up to expectations. Clutch’s story will illustrate that each dog is different, that they progress at their individual rate, depending upon the opportunities they are given and that even the most unlikely candidate can blossom into a hound the hunter will appreciate and enjoy in time. Britt last appeared on Gone To The Dogs a year ago and the guys have a lot to catch up on. This is a podcast for coon hunters that are determined to press on despite the adversities of age, adverse hunting conditions and dog-related problems. You’ll find this one entertaining and inspirational. It could be described as the light at the end of the tunnel. Enjoy. We would like to thank those who support this podcast.

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.

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.

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.

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.  Special thanks to Double U Hunting Supply for sponsoring this episode.  www.dusupply.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@DoubleUHuntingSupply/podcasts

We all know the handheld is the easy part of the equation to monitor but what about the collars? How do you know if they shut off or if they just lost comm? How much heat does a dog really put off? These topics and more plus a few good laughs.

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.
