Whitaker Brothers Hunting Company is a premier hunting outfitting company. Josh and Jason Whitaker and partner Eric Schlukebir offer the hunting public premier adventures for a high quality experience in great places. Chris spent nearly a week with the Whitaker Brothers owners. What a great experience it was. There is no doubt about the deep commitment they have for hunting and its future.

The listeners will hear of the unique turkey Chris shot on this adventure and then the conversation rolls into hunting old Mexico and, of course, hounds. In particular we get into a discussion about special hounds. Those hounds that add more to the experience than just hunting ability. Josh, Jason and Eric describe Ruckus, a hound with special skills to catch game but also his indifferent and rude behavior. It’s hilarious.
