For this week's episode, I had on my good buddy Seth Hall who is just about the most enthusiastic hound hunter I know. He knows how to have a good time and has a borderline unhealthy obsession with not only his sighthounds, but the almighty hare they pursue. I decided to skip the intro and just get straight into the conversation. I hope you enjoy it.

Hunting season is here so look forward to more videos from the woods coming up. I have also been working on my DIY dog box build I have been talking about for a while, so I should have a video or two coming out about that as well … it's been a great learning experience and I'm really happy with how it's turning out.

I'm flying solo on the podcast this week and bringing you the most interested hound and wildlife-related content I could find on the Internet.

Oliver Anthony has taken the world by storm with his hit song "Rich Men North of Richmond" but did you know that he is a hunter and also let's hound hunters access his property? Well, it's true and I think that's just freaking phenomenal. And for that discussion to take place on Joe Rogan's podcast, one of the biggest cultural platforms in the world, well that's just even better. We kick off the episode this week by playing and reacting to the snippet from the 2.5 hour episode between Joe and Oliver. Good stuff.

It's been a bit slow on the hound and wildlife news front, but I found a couple of interesting stories to share with you including how cougars are whacking wolves up in Washington, and how there are blue smurf dogs running around abandoned chemical plants over in Russia.

I also fill you in on details about this week's Monday Night Livestream series … normally it happens on Brett Vaughn's channel, but this week it's taking place over on the  @AnecdoteofaHoundsman  YouTube channel run by Chris Watson.

On this week's episode I interview a very special guest who you likely know if you've spent any time on YouTube watching hound videos. He is the OG "HoundTuber," the one and only, Brett Vaughn.

Throughout the interview we learn all about Brett's history with dogs, starting with Airedales and running coyote dogs (sighthounds) before discovering his true love of dry ground lion dogs. I had a great time chatting with him and I think you'll really enjoy this one.

As mentioned towards the end, Brett has some puppies out of really good stock that are currently available for sale, and he asked me to put his email address in the description for anyone interested, so here it is: [email protected].

I made a mistake! This week's episode was supposed to feature a special guest, but I made a technological error that cost me the whole recording … so, I had to take a different approach and decided to share some details about how I'm preparing for the upcoming bobcat season here in Oregon.

In this episode, I talk about:

* How I'm preparing my dogs for the upcoming bobcat pursuit season

* What I use on their feet to keep them conditioned and prevent them from busting pads (see: https://www.pawsrprotected.com/ )

* What's currently keeping me out of the woods …

* How I'm getting my dogs exercise at home …

* Why it's time to build a new dog box …

* All the different dog box designs I'm considering …

* Why I need all of you to send me dog box ideas and inspiration! …

* How I'm making progress on the audiobook version of by book, Cat Dog Chronicles (https://www.amazon.com/Cat-Dog-Chronicles-Niklas-Isaac/dp/B0BCH39Q7B/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3H5J2HXWD9Y97&keywords=niklas+isaac&qid=1664995894&sprefix=%2Caps%2C115&sr=8-1)

* A reminder that every Monday you need to tune into the Interviews, Stories, and Tails YouTube channel to join our livestream! (https://www.youtube.com/@InterviewsStoriesandTales/videos)

If all goes well, the interview I had planned for today will go out next week, so stay tuned.

As always, I greatly appreciate everyone tuning in and for all the positive feedback I've received. It's a lot of work to produce these podcasts and videos, but it definitely feels like it's worth it and I hope what I'm doing is making a difference in the hound world, even if just a little bit.

Sincerely,

Niklas

On this week’s episode, I am joined by Josh Michaelis from the Joy Dog Food company. We had a great conversation all centered around our shared love of hound dogs and I peppered him with the many questions I have about competition coon hunting since it is so much different than how I hunt with my dogs. I learned a lot and oddly enough, forgot to ask all the dog-food related questions I had queued up. Oh well, there’s always next time!

Also on this episode, I answer a listener question from the Hound on the Run Hotline from a gentleman who’s running into some issues with getting his young English hound to come back to him while hunting. Full disclosure, I am not a professional dog trainer, but I think about this stuff non-stop all day long and have come up with a lot of tips and tricks from training my own dogs. I hope that at the very least, I helped generate some new ideas on how to work with young, stubborn hounds.

If you have any tips or tricks about dog recall training, leave a comment or call into the hotline!

Howdy ya'll. On this week's podcast, I highlight an important news story that could be a big deal for South Dakota hound hunters, cover a couple actions to take on Howl for Wildlife's website to help our Canadian brethren out, plus we look at a few incidences in which wildlife and humans collide in odd, unexpected ways. I also speculate as to why our fearless leader Brandon’s dog keeps biting everyone.

This week I’m flying solo and bringing you a healthy dose of hound and wildlife-related news. The main story I cover hits particularly close to home and if you are a hound hunter in Oregon or Washington, the implications of the decisions of a certain private land owner just might change how — or more like where — you hunt with your hounds this upcoming season.

On this week’s podcast, my co-host Taylor is back in the hot seat for another exciting episode covering a wide range of topics all centered around hounds, the animals we pursue, and pretty much anything that touches the lives of my fellow hound hunters all around the world.

In the intro, I share some details about a new livestream series I got invited to be a part of with Brett Vaughn of the Born 100 Years Too Late YouTube channel along with other hound hunters on YouTube. The livestreams happen every Monday night on Brett’s longform content YouTube channel - Interviews, Stories, and Tails.

This week I have my fellow HoundTuber (hound + YouTuber … get it?) Chris from Anecdote of a Houndsman. He recently published a video about building a dog box out entirely recycled or reused materials. I have been planning on building a new dog myself for a while, so I thought this was a great opportunity to catch up with Chris, talk about dog boxes, and get some ideas. The man is a DIY juggernaut and knows his way around a scrap yard … in fact, he used to own one. I hope you enjoy!

This week, we’re switching up the podcast a bit by sharing the first chapter of my soon-to-be-released audiobook. I published Cat Dog Chronicles about 10 months ago, and had always planned on releasing an audiobook version … and I finally got it done. I still have some final mixing to do on it, but the since the first chapter is ready to go, I figured why not put it out on the podcast to give folks a preview.

We will return to our regularly scheduled programming next week.

Thanks for listening!
