Throughout our journey in life there is always someone who stands out. In the dog world, those small things leave a lasting impression. Heath tells about meeting a person that left one of those impressions on him. Harris Dunlap of Bakers Mills, Ny gave Heath advice over 20 years ago that still sticks with him. He also talks about the Lester Harvey incident and how we can learn from that. Join us on What’s up Wednesday.

The theme for the popular Dukes of Hazard tv show features the following line:
“Straight'nin' the curves, flat’nin the hills.  Someday the mountain might get ‘em, but the law never will.”

This episode features two “good ole boys” in the persons of host Steve Fielder and his Kentucky-born guest Jerry Barker.  Like the Bo and Luke Duke theme suggests, the boys “make their way” through a pile of coon hunting topics that should resonate with anyone comfortable enough to wear the good ole boy label themselves.

    
This one comes through as tasty as country ham bathed in red eye gravy with grits on the side.  It’s a down-home kind of “thang” that anyone identifying with the “good ole boy” label will enjoy.   “Just a good ol' boys, wouldn’t change if they could, fightin’ the system like modern day Robin Hoods.”  Good ole boys.

Today’s episode starts with the announcement of a new $5,000 gift card give away and other social media give aways and talk of something big!  But the meat and potatoes of this episode is all about Wyoming and the fight they have on their hands when it comes to Bear and Mt. Lion hunting.  These bills are bad news for Houndsmen and the game we pursue.  Luke Worthington spells things out and blows the whistle on these bad bills and points out the problem with ballot box biology.

The last topic might touch a nerve. They discuss the cost of hounds from the east coast to the west. This starts off a series of great conversations over the next few months.

Houndsmen and hound women join the hound-hunting sport chiefly for one purpose, to experience the audible thrill of the chase, the proverbial music of the hounds.  Imagine if you will, a consummate hound hunter since youth, loving this sport above all other experiences and facing the real possibility that he will lose his hearing, rendering him no longer able to experience the sport that which he truly loves?

Our guest this week was that hunter.  His story includes his failed attempts to join the military, his early days of competition hunting, his affinity for bluegrass music, his discovery of a hidden talent which he exhibits for our host, and the story of his fear that surgical attempts to save his hearing could leave him totally deaf.   It’s a story of faith, determination,and overcoming seemingly impossible obstacles.

Brad Hall works for jet engine manufacturer Rolls Royce in Indianapolis.  He is launching a new venture in the form of a podcast to bring coon hunters of faith to his microphone to share their stories, all of which center around the sport of raccoon hunting and include testimonies of faith.   Steve takes the opportunity to explore the content Brad plans to bring to his show as the two longtime friends share this common interest.

Steve met Matthew Huff three years ago on social media.   The hunters shared a love for tree dogs that brought them to a personal meeting at the 2022 Grand American Coon Hunt in South Carolina.
Huff’s story is unique.  It begins in California and moves eastward to Georgia.  The catalyst for his mostly urban coon hunting activities came in the form of a mixed breed, mostly hound, with perhaps a shot of Treeing Walker dog named Sargeant.

As his travels took him across the nation Huff continued to hunt the orphaned Sarge mostly by himself on public grounds and parks until a purebred Bluetick entered the picture.  That’s were we find Huff today, treeing coons with regularity and assuming the more common role of hound and hunter with a traditional coonhound breed.

Mentioning Huff as an urban coon hunter, he now lives in metro Atlanta.  Activities inspired by the Orthodox Christian Church with whom he affiliates, have taken him to the mountains of West Virginia and to the Carolinas helping those in need, something that comes naturally to the humanitarian. 

This is an interesting episode that proves that hounds can lead us in many directions, some of which we may never had expected.
