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 Jolene

In 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.
