The Houndsman XP Team comes together to dive in deeper and discuss the finer points of the hottest topics of the day. On this episode, Chris, Heath and Chad come together to give their opinions, unapologetically and in Point Blank fashion.

Chad shows up malnourished and wearing a tag cuff beanie to preserve the sparse energy he has left after three days of “business” that involved a lot of hunting, game birds, bird dogs, long dogs and falcons.

Heath and Chris recap their recent trip to the SHOT Show in Las Vegas where they represented Houndsmen to several hunting industry leaders. They talk about their trip to Hoover Dam and the hurricane like conditions. 

The whole crew dives in to recap and give their thoughts on the recent episode featuring the Boone and Crockett Club and the hot topic of Fair Chase. The crew really peels back the layers on the topic and discusses the impacts of the B&C position on the use of GPS collars. 

These are the best episodes for listeners to get to know the Houndsman XP Crew and hone their skills in the arena to defend this lifestyle we all cherish so much.

Imagine a cast of coonhounds that have won trucks, world hunts in both major registries, and enough money to buy a small island…..and now imagine it’s at a local FFA big coon contest.

That’s what you may get if you go to the golden triangle area of northeast Oklahoma, southwest Missouri, and southeast KS.  It is bar none, the hardest place to win a local hunt in the world, and what makes it so is a unique story in itself.  On this episode of The Truth, Josh sits down with good friend and hunter Vic Hurley.  Vic gives us a history on the area and its fantastic hound hunting culture, and history.  So sit back, relax, and enjoy, another fun filled episode of THE TRUTH!
