Hound Dog Podcast Network by The Sportsmen's Empire

Deer hunters, have you ever loosed an arrow on that buck of a lifetime, watched it run away and then not been able to find it? The feeling of panic sets in as you lose the blood trail and as you work feverishly to find it again you get a sick feeling deep in your gut. As hunters we want to recover our game, it is our duty. Stack the odds in your favor by calling a blood tracking hound!

Heath joins up with Ken Parker of Central Georgia. Ken is a Fire Specialist with the Georgia Forestry Commission. Ken started blood tracking game animals with cur dogs and as he became more involved transitioned over to the Bavarian Mountain Hound. Ken has been working (BGS) for over 25 years. Ken is one of the co-founders of United Blood Trackers and served on the board for many years before stepping down to focus on the BGS club. He has been the chairman of the KBGS-GNA or Group North America for the last 13 years. This is a working group associated with the BGS club in Germany.  Ken is also currently the only judge in America for the preliminary test and is working on his 3rd BGS recovering wounded game for hunters. On average Ken takes 65 calls a year to help hunters. Heath and Ken discuss the history of the BGS and talk about the testing process and how a Breed Master decides on the breeding. If you are wanting to better your line or get into Blood tracking this is a must listen. Enjoy your Journey.

Who doesn’t fantasize about wielding a pistol like Doc Holliday? Pistols and hunting are controversial. Loathed by some hunting groups to the point of “you ain’t using it” to celebrated by others. The pistol’s effectiveness is dependent upon the individual shooter’s experience and willingness to put in the reps to train with it.

Caleb Barnett of Underwood Ammo is back. Chris and Caleb discuss handgun training choice, training tips and where and how to carry. Each shooter is unique and requires different things from a handgun but we all share the same end result…proficiency! Being able to draw, shoot and hit the target is the most important aspect of carrying a handgun. 

In this episode of the Houndsman XP Podcast we break it all down from handgun choices, training tips and the importance of where the pistol is carried.

Being right or trying to be the authority on every topic is not the goal. Getting the best info from the most qualified people is; even if it means admitting we got it wrong.

To describe Asa Briggs, it would have to be unassuming. His accomplishments do not reflect in his character. He is a quiet guy that doesn’t draw a lot of attention to himself when he is at an event until he turns a hound loose. People, when asked, describe as “always packing a nice dog” or “if he shows up at an event he has a real chance of winning”. 

Houndsman XP host, Chris Powell traveled to north central Michigan and had a chat with Asa about hounds, competition coonhunting, bobcat hunting and hall of fame dogs. Asa shared a bit about his breeding philosophies and preparation for big events. 

Listeners will get a real treat to hear from this Xtreme Performance Houndsman.

Do you use supplements for your hounds joints?

While in Orlando, Heath sits down with the Co-owner, Olivier Morin, of 1-TDC and talks about how oral and joint care can add years to your hounds performance.  Olivier goes over how dental care boosts the dogs overall health. He explains how 1- TDC works and all the different uses for it and how it differs from other oral and joint supplements. There is a surprise use that may put your hounds back in the field faster than other products. Olivier talks about how some of the top dogs in agility- frisbee and sledding are using this product. Heath is going to use the product on several dogs and give updates on how it is working. This is something we may overlook in our everyday maintenance of our hounds.
