In this episode Chris and Steve explore coon hunting video production with guest Nick Gilliland, a pioneer in the field. A coon hunter from western North Carolina with a penchant for all things technical, Gilliland operates a hound supply business but is better known for his efforts to help young and new-to-the-sport houndsmen through weekly question and answer sessions on his YouTube channel.

Chris and Steve explore Gilliland’s background with hounds, individuals that mentored him as a young hunter and his motives for starting his Nite Life Kennel channel. Gilliland reveals what he hopes viewers will glean from his efforts as well as his future plans for the channel.

Gilliland believes he may be one of the last of a generation that grew up completely in the outdoors devoid of the technical devices hunters depend upon today. Gilliland’s efforts to master the technical aspects of the sport, while embracing the traditional ways, places him in a unique position to bridge the gap between the old and new in both the devices he reviews and in the philosophies of those he attempts to reach.
