Today I’m flying solo for a quick lil’ hitter. First, I share some info about the Fern Ridge Tree Hound Club field trial happening this weekend.

If you would like to learn more about the field trial, feel free to reach out to Charlie Merrifield through the Fern Ridge Tree Hound Club Facebook page.

You can also subscribe to the Fern Ridge Tree Hound Club newsletter that Charlie just launched here.

Then, I share the recorded audio edition of a previous newsletter I sent out a few weeks back which is the introduction to a multi-part series I’ve been working on. As you’ll hear, this piece strays away from the actual hunting aspect of owning hound dogs, and instead, dives deep into the abstract world of what a dog really is and what it means to have a relationship with one.

I get into my early days of obedience training with my dogs and how, at a certain point, I saw no other option but to actually start hunting with them. 

If you’d like to read the text version of the piece, check it out here: When We Aren’t Hunting

Thanks for tuning in and wish me and my dogs good luck at the field trial this weekend!

Sincerely,

Niklas
