Episode 97 – Blueticks & An Unexpected Visitor

Welcome back to another episode of Coon Hunting Confidentials. As always, Daniel, Dustin, and Ryan kick things off with the kind of back-and-forth banter that could go absolutely anywhere — and usually does. From hunting updates to whatever’s on their minds that week, the intro sets the tone like only they can.

After the break, the guys are joined by Chris Speer from the upstate of South Carolina. Chris is a dedicated Bluetick man, and he talks about his dogs, his hunting style, and what keeps him turning them loose night after night.

But the highlight of the episode is a story that’ll make you look over your shoulder the next time you’re standing at a tree. Chris shares about a night in the woods when things took an unexpected turn — when a stranger suddenly showed up at the tree. What started as a normal hunt quickly turned into something you don’t experience every night in the timber.

Was it coincidence? Bad timing? Or just one of those moments that reminds you the woods aren’t always as empty as you think?

From laughs to tension, Episode 97 delivers another round of real hunting stories, real hunters, and the kind of conversations that only happen after dark. 🦝🌲

Episode 96 – "A Creepy Old House, A Truck Gone Crazy, & A Terrifying Youth Hunt with Mathew Thorne"

Welcome back to Episode 96 of Coon Hunting Confidentials. The show kicks off the only way it knows how—with the usual unpredictable back-and-forth banter between Daniel, Dustin, and Ryan. As always, the conversation goes wherever it wants, and you never quite know what’s coming next.

After the break, the guys get Matthew Thorne on the phone, a longtime coon hunter from West Virginia, who shares some stories that are sure to make the hair on your neck stand up. Matthew talks about a strange encounter he and his father experienced one night while heading out hunting, involving an old, creepy house they passed along the way.

But that wasn’t the end of it. Matthew also recounts other unexplained experiences—especially one that happened years later during a youth hunt when he was a teenager, proving that the woods can get just as eerie as they are exciting.

Grab a seat and turn the volume up—Episode 96 blends laughs, legends, and a little bit of spine-chilling coon hunting storytelling. 🦝🌲👀

In Episode 95 of Coon Hunting Confidentials, Daniel, Dustin, and Ryan dive deep into the Grand American Coon Hunt in Orangeburg, South Carolina, sharing their experiences, stories from the event, and why it continues to be one of the biggest hunts of the year.

The guys also address some controversy surrounding one of the casts, sparked by a Facebook video that got people talking. They clear the air, give their side of the story, and share their thoughts on online drama in the coon hunting world.

They catch up on how their own hunting seasons have been going lately—what they’re seeing in the woods, how the dogs are performing, and lessons learned along the way.

Later, the crew is joined by a fan of the show from North Carolina who’s fairly new to coon hunting. The guys offer encouragement and a few tips on raising a coonhound puppy… but don’t worry—they only give just the tip.

Real talk, real hunting, and no holding back—Episode 95 delivers it all. 🦝🌲

Every other Wednesday, the HT Mafia serves up a wild mix of coon hunting, comedy, and creepy tales to keep you entertained with all-new episodes of CHC!

This special Halloween episode is one you won’t forget. We chat with Derek, a coon hunter originally from Washington State who now calls Montana home. During one unforgettable night while rigging dogs along a road that went through the Washington woods, Derek and a buddy encountered something unexplainable—a towering dark figure nearly seven feet tall with glowing red eyes that stood up as they drove by. It left them wondering if it was a cryptid or a demon!

And if that’s not chilling enough, wait until you hear what happened when he was getting out of his truck one evening—something started pushing the door into his back, but when he turned around… there was nothing there!

Of course, not everything in this episode will raise your hair—Derek also shares a hilarious story about a drunk hitchhiker that’ll have you laughing out loud.

So, settle in, hit play, and get ready for another round of spooky stories and good laughs.

Every other Wednesday, the HT Mafia brings the heat with a fresh blend of coon hunting tales, creepy encounters, and raw, unfiltered comedy — and this week’s episode is no exception.

⚠️ WARNING: Rated E for Explicit — listener discretion is advised!

In this chilling episode, we head down to Northwest Tennessee for a gripping conversation with a local coon hunter who also happens to be the Fire Chief in his hometown. But this ain’t your average hunt story — not by a long shot. Back in high school, he and a buddy experienced something in the woods that still haunts them to this day. It wasn’t just strange... it was terrifying. After digging into the details, we’re thinking there’s a good chance they had a run in with something not quite human. That’s right — this could be our first-ever confirmed run-in with a DOGMAN on CHC. But that’s not all — he shares more eerie encounters that’ll have you side-eyeing the tree line next time you’re out with your hounds.

🔥 You do NOT want to miss this one. 🔥Thanks as always for tuning in — we appreciate every one of y’all.
Keep them dogs in the woods, and happy hunting!
