In this high-value episode of the Holt Outdoors Podcast, we are joined by Brody Julien, a Missouri native and U.S. Army veteran, to break down the critical role of terrain navigation in hound training. From the "sand hills" of North Carolina to the deep creek ditches of Northern Missouri, Brody explains how different environments shape a coon dog's ability to strike and tree. If you're looking to improve your competition coon hunting score, understanding how dogs "pocket" coons in varied timber is a game-changer.
We also tackle one of the most controversial topics in the sport: the coonhound market. Brennan and Brody dive into the reality of buying and selling dogs on Facebook, debating whether a world-class pedigree actually "stacks the odds" or if raw hunting experience is the ultimate deciding factor. You'll hear about the "150-coon philosophy"—why patience and consistent time in the woods outrank the shock collar every time. Whether you use a Garmin Alpha 200 Plus to track your Walker hounds or are searching for a naturally independent female, this episode provides the "by-the-book" insights every coon hunter needs to find and train a winner.
Inside this episode:
Army Airborne to the Timber: How military discipline translates to mastering complex competition rules.
Terrain Shock: Why dogs from the Ozarks struggle with Northern Missouri's deep creek ditches.
The Market Reality: Honest talk on finding value in unproven lines and avoiding "bad apples" online.
The Ground Game: The unusual story of a yearling Josie Wales pup catching coons on the fly.
Consistency as a Trait: Why predictability is more valuable than a "freak show" dog that lacks consistency.
