The Boone and Crockett Club originated the term “Fair Chase”. TL Jones a third generation bear hunter wrote an epic piece about fair chase and how it applies to hounds and houndsmen. The anti hunters and many in the hunting community call the use of hounds unfair, too easy and a lazy way to hunt.

The topic of trophy hunting is discussed and how many terms such as fair chase, trophy hunting, even the word conservation is misused, misinterpreted and used against us as hunters in the 21st Century.

Jason Carter is the owner and operator of Merry Meeting Kennels, professional trainer, author for Project Upland and a teacher. He fits perfectly into our theme on The Journey: teach, train and learn.
The Journey, on the Houndsman XP Podcast Network, is all about bettering the hounds we hunt. That starts with the decision to breed and the crosses we make. Jason recently wrote an article about making the hard decision on not breeding your dog. When you cherish the hounds you run and want to carry those memories through time it’s a common practice to try and replicate those hounds.
Heath and Jason start at the decision that drives us to breed our hounds. What is it that we are looking to accomplish by breeding and some ways to evaluate that decision? This is a hard conversation, as Heath and Jason discuss, that is sometimes avoided. This is a must listen if you have dogs and are interested in continuing to hunt. Sometimes the hard decision is the right decision.

For the new comers bear hunting with hounds comes with a lot of unknowns and questions. What gear to take, what to expect, how do hounds operate, what do Houndsmen do, and the list goes on.
Brad Luttrell, CEO of Go Wild, joins Chris to recap a bear hunt that he and Derek Towles took with Heath Hyatt and the crew in Virginia. Brad dives into the full details from gear failures to an all day pack out after the bear was down. He describes the feeling of abandonment when the hunters had to round up dogs, the epic struggle against some wicked weather conditions and his feeling of accomplishment after the day was done.
This is a must listen as Houndsmen need find ways to be more inclusive and indoctrinate new hunters in a way that they can gain experience and positive opinions of hunting with hounds.
