On this episode, I discuss the brutal truths. Everyone loves the pictures of barking beagles, treed hounds, and bird dogs locked on point — but that’s not the full story. Behind every great hunt are hard lessons that most people don’t talk about. In this episode, I pull back the curtain and give you the brutal truths about hunting with dogs:

• Why most dogs will never make it, no matter their bloodline
• How handlers ruin more dogs than genetics ever will
• The true cost — in money, time, and relationships — that this lifestyle demands
• The heartbreak of lost dogs, tough culls, and failure in the field
• And why, after all of that, we still wouldn’t trade it for anything

This isn’t the sugarcoated version of hunting with dogs. It’s raw, unfiltered, and straight from experience. If you’ve ever felt the highs and lows of life with hunting dogs, you’ll relate. And if you’re just starting out, this episode might just save you years of frustration.

Because the truth is brutal — but it’s also what makes this life worth living.
