On today’s episode Jason and Joe Yoder talk a bit about the different aspects and levels of involvement when it comes to hounds and other working animals.  Not everyone is cut out to be a breeder, professional handler or trainer but the important thing is that you enjoy what you can to its fullest.  The love of the hounds is what keeps us all plunging into the darkness, but we as Houndsmen should be the light of encouragement for each other.

Fred Moran, a frequent guest to the Gone To The Dogs podcast, is eighty-seven years old.  The remarkable octogenarian coon hunter continues to hunt raccoons regularly with his beloved Redbones at an age well past the point most coon hunters have retired from the game.  Not only is Moran still hunting, he continues the pursuit of good hounds wherever they may be found.  In this episode he discusses going to Mississippi to try a new hound.   This is a vintage Fred Moran conversation that listeners have come to appreciate over the life of this podcast.  Enjoy.

Jason had a chance to meet TJ at Autumn Oaks this year so the two take a little time to catch up, talk some red dogs and about stewardship. Jason was able to walk a cast with TJ and came out with a couple good stories to tell. If you spend any amount of time with, or listening to TJ you can tell that these dogs and our sport bring a true joy to his life.  From his day job as a high school AG teacher to a Coon hunter and everything in between TJ has a calling to include and educate those willing to listen.
