In this episode of the Autumn Oaks trilogy, Chris and Steve are joined in the
Houndsman XP booth on the final morning of the event by Mark Zepp and Jason Duby.
Zepp is one of the most-recognizable figures in hound hunting on several levels and is
equally well-known in the field of predator calling. His videos on the subject have earned
widespread acclaim. Duby is a field representative for Double U Hunting Supply, the
podcast’s signature sponsor. Taking advantage of the quiet before the storm of activity
that is Autumn Oaks on its final day, this early morning get together has that
comfortable feel of old friends getting together to shoot the breeze.

Listeners will be amazed at the variety of levels at which Zepp has impacted the sport
as an entrepreneur, supplier, photographer, videographer, and as a national
representative for one of the dog sport’s most-recognizable brands, Garmin/Tri-tronics.
Zepp takes the conversation through his years growing up on an Ohio farm, his early
love for hunting and trapping and his subsequent desire to pursue a career in sporting
dogs and predator hunting. Steve and Mark recall their first meeting that spawned a
friendship spanning more than thirty years.

Duby made the trip across the country to represent Double U and takes the opportunity
to discuss the well-known hunting supply company as well as his impressions of
Autumn Oaks through the eyes of a western houndsman. Duby discusses the sport of
fox hunting with hounds and reveals his preferences in the hounds that participate in the
age-old sport.
