Shannon Raska is a third generation houndsmen from the state of Texas. His grandfather and father were both members of the South Texas Wold Hunters Association. Shannon is still raising, training and hunting the same family line of coyote hounds that was started in the late 1930s. 

Chris travelled to Texas and hunted with Shannon and this podcast was recorded in the field in the middle of what Shannon refers to as “Live Action” and it sure was. At several points Chris and Shannon pause to listen to hounds and hope to catch video of the Texas wolf stretching the legs of these young hounds.

Shannon’s hounds consist of mainly Running Walkers with touch of July mixed in. Chris and Shannon discuss his family’s philosophy on breeding, what his goals are for his breeding program and how Texas hunting has changed in his fifty year hunting career. Shannon runs in and outstiside of the pens and discusses the benefits and problems with doing both.

Shannon Raska is an old school Houndsman at heart but is perceptive enough to understand how to take advantage of modern technology and how to continue to enjoy his lifestyle in a changing world.

The Journey is all about learning more about our hounds and making things better all the way around. The more time we spend with the dogs, the more we learn about them and ourselves. Heath gets together with hunting partners and good friends Wes and Forest to recap what the season entailed; what they learned, what they worked on and what they want to improve in the future. They assess their packs strengths and weaknesses. Each talks about issues they had or are having and what the plan is to correct it. The 3 discuss future plans and maybe an upcoming breeding. Heath touches on what goals they want to reach by the end of the year. They finish out with an update on how the pups are coming along. This is going to be a fun one. Come on and join us on the Journey!

Blood Origins is on a mission to “tell the truth about hunting.” A non-profit organization that produces a podcast and highly acclaimed video works, Blood Origins and its efforts are led by Robbie Kroger. Robbie holds a PhD in Biology with an emphasis on wetland ecology and has worked in this field for 20 years.

Blood Origins was started by Robbie after he saw the gross misrepresentation of hunting on a global scale and was motivated to give an accurate portrayal of hunting. 

Blood Origins is an international organization that tells the true story about hunting, its effects on wildlife populations, the values it holds for wildlife management and its impact on local cultures and the human population. 

Chris and Robbie have a great discussion about the recent movement surrounding mountain lion management in Texas, over all issues facing the hunting public and a special project that will have a direct positive impact on Houndsmen and mountain lion hunters. This is a good one and every Houndsman needs to know about Blood Origins.
