Brian Messersmith is a houndsman that has been hooked since an early age. Thanks to a family member that had hounds, hunting big game with hounds has been a lifelong passion for this Idaho native. We talk about how Brian and I met and became friends, how a promising young lion hound can double as a coonhound, and a few exciting stories about chasing bears and mountain lions in northern Idaho. We also briefly touch on this extraordinary purple heart recipient’s military service. If you would like the chance to hunt with Brian contact Boulder Creek Outfitters.

We've got a trash race today! Running coyotes with Todd Jackson from Penobscot Bay Outfitters. Todd and I recorded this episode at the Great American Outdoor Show in Todd's booth. We just scratched the surface of running coyotes but Todd gave me a nice general understanding of something I have yet to do.

This episode is a little different in the fact that we don't really talk dogs but this is an app that I use and believe in.

First link in the show notes is my personal account that you can then download the app from. The second link is to the article that Brad wrote and speaks about in the podcast.
