Heath Hyatt is a popular guest in the world of hound-hunting podcasts. He’s pretty much made the rounds preaching the gospel of obedience training as an essential element to having a well-handling hound, regardless of the type of game pursued. His job as a master trainer of police dogs for several agencies throughout the State of Virginia and his long-standing reputation as a master hunter of black bears with hounds combine to make him an interesting listen and thus his many invitations to appear online.

Steve Fielder and Hyatt have been friends and hunting companions since their hounds each appeared in the winner’s circle at the National Plott Hound Association’s annual Plott Days event in 1997. Hyatt was the overall winner with Fielder taking the Opposite Sex win for the Isaiah Kidd Award, the event’s highest prize. Through the following years the pair have hunted coons in several states and bears in the states of Virginia and West Virginia where Hyatt and Fielder were respectively born.

In this episode, Fielder takes Hyatt down a different path than his normal podcast appearance routine as the two friends discuss the hounds and the hunts that have bound the friends together for twenty-five years. The conversation centers upon coon and bear hunting equally and is a good listen if you are an ardent fan of either sport.  

In addition to our great conversation, we also had a brief intermission with Fred Moran, the Redbone Man to hear another one of his stories.

The bonds built in the world of working dogs are pretty unique. Considering these guys have never met face to face, it was like picking up with old friends for a great cause.  This episode is about much more than a single event, it’s about bridging the gap between sportsmen and those that do not understand our lifestyle. There have been a lot of bridges burned by both sides over the years.  How do we build bridges out of ashes? How do we show them the entire story when people are so quick to just judge the conclusion? The guys also talk about being sportsmen in a time that it is not “popular” in society and Jason has a “dad brag” that leads to a conversation on the life lessons and values that our lifestyle offers to the next generation.

Dale kicks off this story telling session with chasing Arizona bears where his client learns the important lesson of “don’t oversell yourself to a professional”.  I’m not sure what hurt worse, the battered ego or the saddle sores. We also hear the story of the hunt for a calf killing Jaguar.  The chase starts off with a pistol about as worthless as a cap gun but sure ends with a bang.  Dale really knows how to paint a picture of some beautiful country to take us along the trail with him.

Steve and Sid Underwood met in 1983 when each was attached to the Field Operations Department of the world’s largest working dog registry, the United Kennel Club.  Underwood’s role as a Field Representative, largely serving the expansive Texas territory, rapidly gained him national attention although his was already a household name among Lone Star State coon hunters.  His involvement with coon hunting and particularly Treeing Walkers anchored him deeply, even as a young man, into the bedrock of coon hunting history in that part of the world.  He hunted with, or at least found himself in the company of, some of the sport’s most significant hounds and the men that hunted them.

In this episode, old friends talk about the UKC days, the fascinating aura of the Texas State Championship, and spend a whole lot of time analyzing the way things were and are, now and then.

Texas is one of Steve’s favorite coon hunting destinations and he spares no effort to share with listeners the fascinating, unique style that is Texas coon hunting, something he first experienced way back in 1969.  

This one is as comfortable as a well-worn pair of Wranglers and as satisfying as a stop at a Texas crossroads café for chicken-fried steaks.  Pour yourself a tall iced tea, settle back and we’ll go coon hunting Texas-style with one of the sport’s most interesting figures, Sid Underwood.  

Listeners will also enjoy the debut of weekly podcast visits by storyteller supreme, Fred Moran.

This week we welcome back Buddy's long time friend and our very first podcast guest Don Gilbert.  They spend some time talking about the hot topic of "rigging" bobcats.  Don talks on some training tips, his thoughts on the ability to "make" a rig dog and more.  Rigging cats is not something that has just always been a thing. But through selective breeding and true dedication to making the best dogs possible, varmint hunters of the Pacific Northwest have been able to open up a whole new world of hunting.  So pull up a seat and listen in to some cat hunting tips and more!

In this episode Steve is joined by a veteran competition-hunter who, among other significant wins including those at UKC Treeing Walker Days, placed third in the 2019 UKC World Championship.  Despite his prowess in competition, our guest is evolving, as most hunters do with age, into a serious breeder and pleasure hunter with a dog-related commercial enterprise or two thrown in for good measure.  This is a broad-reaching conversation on the hounds and the hunts of yesterday and today, enjoyed by two coon hunters as they talk about as many aspects of the sport as can possibly be crammed into a two-hour episode. 

At age 55, Monte Gusse of Fenton, Ill., has had more than his share of top hounds and has hunted with as many good ones through the years as any serious coon hunter can claim.  The idea for this episode came to fruition when Steve decided there was a lot more he wanted to know about Gusse, and by golly, he got what he was hoping for.  This one is a little longer than usual but worth every minute of your time.  Enjoy.

We have a full house again on this episode as Jess, Shannon and Olivia join Buddy and Jason to recap the hunting season.  To start the trainwrecks, Jason recaps getting the DU Dodge stuck, and more importantly unstuck with a recovery system that would make MacGyver proud. Buddy had a goal to take our staff on a cat hunt for some hands on and real-life experience in the life of a Houndsman. Between busted sleds, boulder patches, and the “ghost cat” that Buddy has gotten to know quite well over the last 3 years, I’d say they got a pretty accurate representation of the life.

Join us as we listen in to more great stories from “The Greatest Guide”. Today we go way back to the days before WW2.  We hear a heart wrenching boating accident resulting in the loss of over half his pack of top notch Jaguar dogs. But Dale made sure to save the best story for last and he relives the time he came face to face with a Jaguar and had to show it that he knew how to swing a rifle like he was in a home run derby!
