When host Steve Fielder was a young hunter attending coonhound events in Virginia and West Virginia, prior to his registry days, he often hunted with John Sturgill and Les Bolen.  The duo were coon hunting buddies and were a force to be reckoned with in competition and on the numerous pleasure-hunts our host enjoyed with them in those days.  Each man was noted then and now for having world class Plott Hounds. 

Recently, Jamie Estep, who joins Sturgill and Bolen in this episode, designated the annual National Plott Hound Association’s West Virginia Plott Sectional the John Sturgill Tribute Hunt and Show.  Sturgill was honored throughout the recent three days of hunts, shows and bear events.  Estep invited Steve to judge the bench show on Friday, setting up the perfect opportunity for the friends to get together and recall old times.

This is a feel-good conversation centered upon hunting in the rugged West Virginia mountains with Plott dogs.  Estep recalls Sturgill and Bolen as role models for his own career which now includes the title of Field Representative for UKC and anchor for the YouTube video coverage of the popular Tournament of Champions for coonhounds. 

Steve is betting you will really enjoy this one.

No doubt Cur dogs are responsible for a lot of meat on the table and a valuable part of our hunting dog history.  We hope you enjoy learning about a not so well known breed to modern hunters, but a dog that helped pave the way for treedogs.

There are 118 species of reptiles in Florida.  The largest, the American alligator is the state reptile.  The most common is the brown anole, a commonly seen lizard.  Within the gauntlet of creepy, crawly things are rattlesnakes, cottonmouths and the fairly recent invasive threat, the Burmese python.  Living, and hound hunting in Florida is an exercise in dealing with reptiles on a regular basis.

Florida coon hunter Mack Britt of Parrish, Florida, an unincorporated community in Manatee County near Sarasota on the west coast, began coon hunting with his dad as a boy.  He was bitten by the hound dog bug at an early age and has remained true to his calling for nearly fifty years. 

The reasons Mack was chosen as a guest for this podcast are manifold.   First and foremost, he is a “good old boy.”  I’ve never heard a disparaging word uttered about Mack among his peers within the community of Florida coon hunters.  I’ve driven thousands of miles with him to PKC hunts, his hunt of choice, and have enjoyed every mile.  I talk with him regularly by phone.

Secondly, Mack is a veteran coon hunter in an area the is not for the faint of heart, an area where the numbers of coon hunters has dwindled over the years.  He knows Florida coons and their habitats as well as anyone and better than most.  He isn’t afraid to brave the hazards of hunting alone in a jungle swamp and does so regularly.  When a dog trees, his or yours, he will hack, crawl, and crash his way through palmettos, cat-claw briars and soft-bottomed, snake-infested swamps to get to the dog.    

If you’re wondering what it would be like to hunt coons in Florida, here it is.  It ain’t pretty, but if you are the adventurous type, there ain’t nothin’ like it!
