Welcome back to the Holt Outdoors Podcast! Host Brennan Holt sits down with Tyler Jackson of Berda, Arkansas — a full-time working dad who proves you don't have to hunt every night to have a champion-caliber coon dog. 

Tyler and his platinum champion "Xena" recently came just one cast away from the finals of the $200,000 Jarvis Sanford Memorial Hunt, and he walks us through the whole run.

We get into balancing a 40-hour week and family life with chasing dogs across the country, Tyler's turkey-hunting obsession and his push toward the 49-state slam, why "Xena" is such a special natural tree dog, and his best advice for anyone wanting to get into competition hunting or just get more out of their pleasure dog. This one's for the average guy who works hard and hunts harder.
