Hound PodCast: Double U Hunting Supply

In this, the second episode about tree dogs, the boys are dealing with problems that occur at the tree. Everything from tree jacking to chewing to guarding the tree are discussed in detail. In their years of experience with tree dogs of all types, the pair has experienced and have attempted to correct all manner of issues that make what should be the sublime experience of walking up and seeing game in the tree at the end of the trail, a stressful and often worrisome experience for the hunter.The episode is ripe with common sense approaches to dealing with tree problems and is a program most any tree dog enthusiast will appreciate even if they don’t recall as personal experiences. Admittedly, there may be more problems identified than resolved in this issue with a promise of more solutions to come. Tree problems are complex and the hosts don’t take them lightly, being careful to present only useful, commonsense remedies.Prepare to hear discussions on milling at the tree, dogs that become jealous at the tree and dogs that become hunt sour after entering too many competitions. There’s a lot of information packed in this issue and it’s all intended to make the experience of hunting game with tree dogs more enjoyable. There is also an admonishment that if the listener is afraid to correct problems at the tree, he or she may well need to find another dog or at the extreme, another sport.

“A brace of cane-backed rocking chairs invited the pair with oaken arms and soon the rough-sawn wood floor was creaking with the ebb and flow of their rocking.” Taken from “Too Old To Quit,” an essay from his Gone To The Dogs – A Coon Hunter’s Journey book by Steve Fielder.In this week’s episode, Steve and Corey participate in some summertime front porch-sitting and the conversation turns to the core of the sport of hunting furbearers with the quintessential tree dog. As sure as pointing dogs point birds and waterfowl dogs retrieve ducks, tree dogs tree game. Tree dogs come in all sizes, styles, mouths and a plethora of preferences by the hunters that follow them. How long is long enough to stay treed? What is locating ability? Are layup dogs really just hot-nosed dogs that work air currents instead of scent on the ground? Which is more preferred, a chop-mouth or a bawl-mouth tree dog and is there really a difference are but a few of the subjects explored. If you consider yourself a tree dog man, we’ve got the tree. We just need you to help us find what’s up it this episode.

"Let me take him home” is a great representation of a houndsman’s heart. Even when surrounded by evil in the big city, a country boy has the courage to stand up and take on an angry mob to defend one of his own kind. While those that do not understand our way of life cry for blood, this young man goes to blows to protect a veteran coondog that is as misplaced in the city as himself. Though he has never seen this particular dog before it is clear he “knows” him and his kind. This young man was willing to put his life on the line against the mob to give the respect and decency that this old hound deserves. Our world would be a lot better if everyone could see through this young man’s eyes.

While he was gone, Corey joined the fund-raising ranks with his involvement in a charity called Wags for Kids. His plan involves raising money for deserving kids needing therapy dogs and such and it produced the idea of a coonhound stud dog auction. Thirty owners agreed to provide stud service on social media to the highest bidder with all proceeds going to the benefit. The plan is working great and the boys talk about that in this episode which naturally leads into a much broader discussion of the ins and outs of running a stud dog in today’s tree dog market. The discussion runs the gamut of pros and cons and provides a lot of insight and information for anyone thinking of putting a nice hound up for public stud.

Hunting in the U.S. has become increasingly challenging due to various factors, including stricter regulations, diminishing wildlife populations, and the anti-hunting advocates trying to disregard the North American wildlife model over emotions and feelings.

He also believes hounds are the best way to manage bear and tells us a cool story or two.

When your dad’s the most successful Treeing Walker breeder in recent history with major money wins, World Championships and Hall of Fame inductions at every turn, it would appear that sharing the big stage, the limelight if you will, would be a long time coming in the shadow of dad Randy’s success. When you have the attitude, work ethic and the respect for the game of a seventeen-year old Troy Smith, being recognized for your own achievements seems as natural as summer rain.In this episode, Steve heads up to western Pennsylvania to hunt with Troy and Randy and to record Troy’s story. The trip entailed two nights of hunting with a pair of Lone Pine yearlings, Lone Pine Phara at seventeen months and Lone Pine Phalse Profit at fourteen months. A total of nine raccoons were seen on as many trees on the two-night hunt. The second night was a short one as Steve respected the early departure time for his homebound flight.This recording is worth your time for a number of reasons, especially if there are young hunters in your family or circle of friends. It presents the opportunity to view the sport and what it holds for young ones that indeed will inherit it and carry it forward. Refreshing is the word that comes to mind.

Florida coon hunter Mack Britt of Parrish, Florida, an unincorporated community in Manatee County near Sarasota on the west coast, began coon hunting with his dad as a boy. He was bitten by the hound dog bug at an early age and has remained true to his calling for nearly fifty years. The reasons Mack was chosen as a guest for this podcast are manifold. First and foremost, he is a “good old boy.” I’ve never heard a disparaging word uttered about Mack among his peers within the community of Florida coon hunters. I’ve driven thousands of miles with him to PKC hunts, his hunt of choice, and have enjoyed every mile. I talk with him regularly by phone.Secondly, Mack is a veteran coon hunter in an area the is not for the faint of heart, an area where the numbers of coon hunters has dwindled over the years. He knows Florida coons and their habitats as well as anyone and better than most. He isn’t afraid to brave the hazards of hunting alone in a jungle swamp and does so regularly. When a dog trees, his or yours, he will hack, crawl, and crash his way through palmettos, cat-claw briars and soft-bottomed, snake-infested swamps to get to the dog. If you’re wondering what it would be like to hunt coons in Florida, here it is. It ain’t pretty, but if you are the adventurous type, there ain’t nothin’ like it!

Spring has sprung across the podcast sphere and the boys have moved the Gone To The Dogs operation to the front porch where the air is fresh and the conversation flows a little more freely.This episode will be Corey’s last for awhile as he and his wife Kayla welcome their second child, another girl, into the Gruver household. It could happen at any time. It’s an exciting time for sure and one that will demand a little more of Corey’s attention than usual. He’ll rejoin the show as soon as things settle down a bit over there in Greenville, PA.In this, Corey’s parting episode, the discussion moves to observations on the recent UKC Tournament of Champions. We break down the hounds and the handlers of the finals and offer some pretty darn good arm-chair quarterbacking of the final three from the perspective of individuals that have seen their fair share of major events from behind the scenes.At the center of this one is a discussion on why Walker dogs win when other coonhound breeds don’t.

But in this episode, the fire is still crackling and the conversation drifts to the subject of multi-purpose dogs, mostly coonhounds operating outside the normal bounds of track and tree. It’s a good listen and a thought-provoker for anyone bold enough to consider using Old Blue to perform what many would consider unnatural acts. Lean in and see if you don’t find this to be some interesting stuff. It will be your last chance to spit on the stove for a while.

Steve is on the road for a couple of weeks to New Jersey for family time and some fly fishing. The only dogs he’ll see is the daughter’s hound/pit bull mix and the family Dachshund Louie who accompanies Ella everywhere. But the combined efforts of Ma Bell and Al Gore provide the opportunity to keep Gone To The Dogs on schedule while on the long and winding road. The boys discuss the format, breed breakdowns and the ambiance that makes the TOC the premier coonhound event that it is, an event that boasts a purse of $250,000 distributed among winners at the finals held on the weekend following the airing of this episode. The overall winner captures $50 grand! Who would have thunk it?Things get interesting, even humorous, when the boys throw another chunk in the stove to discuss recent posts on the Coon Hunting Conversations Facebook group page. Moving stud dogs around the country, deep-and-lonely dogs being born that way or manmade and what is seemingly causing smaller heads in some coonhounds. It’s all here and as the cliched phrase admonishes, “You won’t want to miss this one.” Heck, we don’t want you to miss any of them. Give that log a little more air, son.

The trio drill down into Fever’s success story discussing the young hound’s progression from a five-month-old puppy to reaching the pinnacle in competition hunting at less than two and one-half years old. Corey leads the interview leaving few stones unturned in terms of exactly what’s involved in achieving the Grand Nite Champion and other UKC titles. Fever currently holds titles in Field Trials, Water Races, Nite Hunting, Hunt Tests and Bench Showing in UKC as well as Nite Hunting in Professional Kennel Club events. The expense, the determination, the challenges and the setbacks are all fair game. Of particular interest to listeners will be the reasons a confirmed, highly successful Treeing Walker fancier would embark on the arduous journey with a Plott of all available breeds. Steve wades the murky waters of why Plott hunters may be more prone to breed to dogs in their own backyards. You expect dog talk at its finest on the Gone To The Dogs Podcast and there’s plenty to enjoy in this episode.

This past summer Bear and his hounds avoided a natural disaster by the skin of their teeth. Hear about it and what Bear has in his hound-bug-out bag and his plan for getting the hounds out safe and sound. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

The bill comes under the umbrella of anti-trespass legislation and provides exorbitant penalties for hunting dogs and their owners that find themselves afoul of the provisions of the bill, whether advertently or not. The boys hash out the bill and provide information for hunters in Pennsylvania and elsewhere that want to let their voices be heard before the bill reaches the dangerous environs of the Senate floor. The conversation takes on a more pleasant vibe as the boys cover the oldest and one of the most-popular breeds of trail and tree hounds, the American Black and Tan Coonhound. The boys’ love for history is evident as they discuss early history, early founders and a long line of movers and shakers, human and canine, that have played such an important role in the breed’s seemingly timeless reign of popularity. If you like black dogs, or if you just like to look back over the many years of our tree hound sport, this is a good one for you. Them ole black dawgs!

This is an interesting and informative look at the nation’s first and longest-standing “hunt-for-monetary-awards” organization. Many competition hunters begin their journeys in United Kennel Club events and may find the prospect of hunting for cash awards to be daunting if not all-out confusing. This episode provides the remedy in easy-to-swallow doses.The boys talk about the stereotypes generally attributed to money hunts and explore the basic differences in hunting for cash versus hunting for traditional commemorative awards. Listeners that have never tried PKC or its style of competition will benefit greatly from the discussions as the boys gather around this week’s edition of coon hunting’s version of Hot Stove with Steve and Corey.

This week’s “Hot Stove”discussion covers several bases, all of which should interest coon hunting enthusiasts. Each of the boys served as interpreters of UKC coonhound Nite Hunt rules in their tenures at UKC. Each traveled extensively in their jobs at the registry as well. The similarities in experiences fuel the conversation as does the interest each shares in the training of tree dog puppies. The Coon Hunting Conversations group on Facebook is mined by the pair to reveal questions that should pique the interest of hound people of all persuasions. Steve hopes listeners will join him in welcoming Corey as a regular on the show.
