Ep 543Are You Willing to Pay the Price?

Chip Kohser, Seth Hall and Chris Powell make post election predictions, shed some optimism and talk about this once in a lifetime opportunity that we as hunters have to solidify our future as hunters. The only question that remains; are you willing to pay the price?America has given Donald Trump a mandate through an historical election victory. One of the issues that helped him regain control of the White House was cutting bureaucracy and eliminating the deep state with its out of control spending of public funds. With the White House and both houses going to the same conservative party, Republican Voters are hoping for an easy path to restoration of American Freedom. As hunters we are feeling a true jubilation for security and freedom for gun ownership and a reversal from pro animal rights extremism. However, What does this really mean? Are we prepared to face a world with less government services. What about the care and service of our forest service roads, access to the wild spaces we love to hunt, or the management of wildlife? ►Get Your Houndsman XP Info, Gear & More Here!www.HoundsmanXP.com►Become a Patron of Houndsman XP!

Ep 29Bobcat Hunting with PBR Bullfighter Shorty Gorham

Release Date: 10-27-19In this episode of Houndsman XP, Chris and Steve stretch the “Xtreme” credo to the max with a visit to the South Texas ranch country to hunt bobcats with Professional Bull Riders (PBR) celebrity, bullfighter Shorty Gorham. Shorty is not only known the world over for his professional bullfighting and his popular bullfighting circuit and company American Freestyle Bullfighting, but also for his crack pack of running Walker cat hounds. Chris and Steve see firsthand how Shorty’s hounds approach their big cat-catching work with every bit the energy and gusto that their master exhibits in the bull ring.Gorham, growing up on a southern California ranch was in his words, “a cowboy in a surfer school.” Being a guy that has always met danger head on, Shorty has been a natural at fighting 1,700-pound tornados in bull flesh, major event after thrilling major bull riding event. Learning that Shorty was also an accomplished houndsman, Chris and Steve, with an introduction by Carnivore TV producer and former Houndsman XP guest Gary Roberson, seized the opportunity to go to Texas to hunt with and to interview Shorty Gorham, a major win for the Houndsman XP audience.In this episode, recorded mid-hunt on a south Texas afternoon, the boys are joined by Gorham and Roberson in what is an interesting and very entertaining look at the exciting and very dangerous world of bull riding. They also dig deep into the background and abilities of the pack of running-stock hounds Gorham uses to consistently catch bobcats and mountain lions for his enjoyment and for that of the clients that book guided hunts with him. Airing on the week of the PBR World Finals are held in Las Vegas, listeners will be able to closely identify with the TV coverage of the epic event. This is an episode for the listener that likes his hound-hunting on the razor edge of excitement and that’s no bull. ►Get Your Houndsman XP Info, Gear & More Here!www.HoundsmanXP.com►Become a Patron of Houndsman XP!

Ed Swales is a retired soldier and international security advisor. He is also a life long hunter and houndsman. After being away from his roots during his service he returned to life without hunting in his homeland of the United Kingdom.

Chris and Ed have an in depth conversation about the organization that Ed founded: the Hunting Kind.The Hunting Kind is an organization that is using multiple strategies to restore hunting and hunters rights and freedoms. This includes a movement to legally recognize hunters as an ethnic group and bring hunters under the protections of ant discrimination laws.This is a brilliant idea and Ed lays it out perfectly.www.huntingkind.com ►Get Your Houndsman XP Info, Gear & More Here!www.HoundsmanXP.com►Become a Patron of Houndsman XP!

Ep 7Treeing Walker Breeder with Randy Smith

Release Date: May 29, 2019Success, for houndsmen of all persuasions, depends upon the performance of quality hounds that are bred to do the job. Top-performing hounds are the products of those skilled in the art of breeding dogs. Whether the proving ground is a cornfield-bordered Midwestern woodlot, a moss-draped southern swamp or a cliff-laced southwestern canyon, regardless the type of game the breeding behind the hound will largely determine the success of the hunt. In this episode, Chris and Steve interview Treeing Walker breeder Randy Smith whose Lone Pine Treeing Walker kennel in Pennsylvania has produced several winners in the fast-paced arena of competitive raccoon hunting, America’s largest organized sporting dog activity. Smith and his partner Tom Strang won the 2016 World Championship for coonhounds sanctioned by the world’s largest coonhound registry, United Kennel Club and have made numerous appearances in the finals of the most prestigious events in the sport.Chris and Steve explore Smith’s background, his philosophy on breeding hounds and the keys to his success as a hound breeder and competitor. Smith’s portfolio of non-hound related outdoor pursuits, including fur trapping nationwide and trophy pike fishing above the Arctic Circle, typifies the extreme performance mindset of our guest, embodied in each episode of the Houndsman XP podcast. ►Get Your Houndsman XP Info, Gear & More Here!www.HoundsmanXP.com►Become a Patron of Houndsman XP!

Ep 330Leading the Charge to Reduce Wolf Numbers - F4WM

Release Date: 04-10-23There has never been a bigger impact for Houndsmen than the WOLF. Houndsmen have had their futures and breeding programs altered, changed the way they hunt, changed areas they hunt, even moved their families to new areas of the country hundreds of miles away all because of the wolf. The Foundation For Wildlife Management (f4wm) is a group that is taking on the weaponized, politicized and mischaracterized issue of the invasion and impact of the Canadian Grey Wolf in the Northern Rocky Mountain Region. Justin Webb is the CEO for the f4wm. Justin saw the impact the wolf was making on native wildlife populations, how it was affecting recreation opportunities and destroying hunting opportunities in areas that were once teeming with wildlife. He was not willing accept that. He recognized that the wolf is a project that is weaponized by the anti hunting community, a political hot potato and was being forced down the throat of every hunter. His efforts have created an organization that has taken the issue straight on. The f4wm has worked with many sporting organizations and wildlife managers to put aggressive management plans in place that has reduced wolf numbers by over 1600 wolves and paid out over $1 million in reimbursement to hunters and trappers taking wolves.This is a must listen podcast for every Houndsman that is serious about preserving our lifestyle.
