It’s said that within every man there’s a ticking time bomb.  It manifests itself in a physical phenomenon we know as the dreaded heart attack.  In Steve’s years of experience, he’s known several hunters that experienced an attack that ended poorly for them.   Houndsmen are particularly vulnerable due to a number of factors.  Poor physical condition, due in part to the false sense that following hounds replaces regular cardio exercise is certainly a factor.   And, the fact that an attack may come when we are off the grid where rapid medical attention may mean the difference in a good and a not-so-good outcome.  In this episode, Steve relates his experience with an attack while participating in a competition hunt.  The information he shares may be helpful to anyone facing an attack in their future.

The episode also features a brief review of Steve’s choice in a new coon hunting light and finishes with a how-to session on beginning pup training.  Steve rides solo on this one and you’ll likely feel you’re in the truck with him on the ride to Batesville for the UKC Winter Classic which opens the week the episode drops.  All aboard!
