Hound Dog Podcast Network by The Sportsmen's Empire

In this episode Steve and Corey put on their legislative caps and address a piece of current legislation in the State of Pennsylvania that portents big problems for the dog hunter.  The bill comes under the umbrella of anti-trespass legislation and provides exorbitant penalties for hunting dogs and their owners that find themselves afoul of the provisions of the bill, whether advertently or not.   The boys hash out the bill and provide information for hunters in Pennsylvania and elsewhere that want to let their voices be heard before the bill reaches the dangerous environs of the Senate floor. 

The conversation takes on a more pleasant vibe as the boys cover the oldest and one of the most-popular breeds of trail and tree hounds, the American Black and Tan Coonhound.  The boys’ love for history is evident as they discuss early history, early founders and a long line of movers and shakers, human and canine, that have played such an important role in the breed’s seemingly timeless reign of popularity.   If you like black dogs, or if you just like to look back over the many years of our tree hound sport, this is a good one for you.  Them ole black dawgs!

Nick Muckerman is freelance outdoor writer, houndsman, professional bird dog trainer and school principal.

Chris was browsing articles on Field Ethos when he came across an article about hunting mountain lions with hounds.  Of course, he had to read that one. What Chris found was a fascinating, well written article that took a deeper dive into the nuances of hunting mountain lions written by Nick. The article was almost poetic and it was full of articulate details.

Nick Joins Chris on this edition of Houndsman XP on the Xtreme Performance Outdoor Network for an energetic conversation about hounds, bird dogs, lion hunting and how we must share our stories to the world.

Tanner Herr, Ed Barnes and Cody Jenkins hunt the Rockin’ 4D Tournament with Clay Mindemann, Luke and Ty.  It was an exhausting three day ordeal hunting in central Oklahoma.  Despite getting away from the mountains of Northeast Oklahoma and going where it is relatively flat we still ended up in some rough hills wearing out our boot leather.  We caught some good hogs but nothing big enough to put us over the edge and into the winners circle. On the drive home we recorded a run down of the hunt and ideas for future hog hunts. 

Topics discussed:

Logistics of hunting tournaments

New terrain

Hog/catfish/coon contest

Footlong coneys

Post tournament pay per view wrastling
