1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,840 Canines are our passion. 2 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,160 They are our addiction. 3 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:19,200 They are our way of life right down to the very core and without them we would be lost. 4 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,840 The canines of this world really are something to behold. 5 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:28,680 They assist us at work, they accompany us at home, and they perform for us in the field. 6 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:32,200 No matter where we go, they are by our side. 7 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:36,880 Canines really are a ride or die and for that we are grateful. 8 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:41,440 This podcast will showcase working canines of various breeds and disciplines as we search 9 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:46,040 for those canines and their handlers who are always striving to be the best at what they 10 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:47,560 do. 11 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,760 Those who are always grinding. 12 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,440 Those who are always pushing the limits. 13 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,560 Those who are always dogging. 14 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,680 Join us on our adventures as it is sure to be a wild ride. 15

down there specifically for the sole purpose of pushing this podcast. 22 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,140 Trying to get the word out to people. 23 00:01:41,140 --> 00:01:42,980 Let them know what we had

record and I hope you guys like it. 34 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,440 I did make this trip by myself this year, so Basham will not be joining me on here. 35 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:20,760 But guys, I'm telling you what, this was just a really fun time for me to go down there, 36 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,720 get to interact with everybody, spread the word of the Semper Dogg and podcast, let them 37

00:02:31,400 And you know what? 40 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:35,560 I've actually been in contact with a few of them since this recording and I would consider 41 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:36,560 them friends at this point. 42 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,200 We've talked about every day since then. 43 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,320 So that's the beauty of this podcast, guys. 44 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:44,680 It really is all about bringing people together and the camaraderie. 45 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:49,280 Those of us who are always dogging have with each other. 46 00:02:49,280 -->

way down here in South Carolina? 66 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:57,960 Never been to the Grand America. 67 00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:58,960 This is your first time? 68 00:03:58,960 --> 00:03:59,960 Oh, I didn't know that. 69 00:03:59,960 --> 00:04:00,960 Yes, sir. 70 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:01,960 I figured you'd been here before. 71 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,320 I've been to Winter Classic, Autumn Oaks. 72 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,080 I've been to a lot of them, but not Grand American. 73 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:07,080 Okay. 74 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:08,760 So, first impression, Friday afternoon. 75 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:10,760 What do you think? 76 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,240 A lot of people here are getting ready. 77 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,880 Getting started Friday. 78 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:16,880 The hunt tonight. 79 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,440 Who you hunting? 80 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,240 I got my handler Lee Wade hunting Hook. 81 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:22,240 Hook. 82 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:23,240 Tell me a little bit about Hook. 83 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,360 He's just an English dog, not flashy, just trees, coons. 84 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:27,360 Now, that is a lie. 85 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:28,360 He is flashy. 86 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,880 He is one of the prettiest English dogs I've seen. 87 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,720 Well, looks don't treat them coons. 88 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,280 They don't, but by guy, he is a beautiful tri-colored English dog. 89 00:04:36,280 --> 00:04:38,320 I mean, he's got the blue and the red. 90 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:39,320 He's got it going. 91 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:40,320 He's a good looking dog. 92 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:41,960 Yeah, he's got a good head on him, too. 93 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,440 Now, where did you get Hook at? 94 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,880 I bought him from Bub Blackwell when he was 15 months old. 95 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:47,880 Yep. 96 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,000 Okay, so how old is he now? 97 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,920 He just turned two, June 25th. 98 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:52,920 Right. 99 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:53,920 And you've had a pretty good run. 100 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,500 You, Lee, and Hook have had a good run. 101 00:04:56,500 --> 00:04:59,000 Tell me a little bit about what all Hook's accomplished. 102 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,640 Well, I got this little dog. 103 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,240 He could treat a lot of coons. 104 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:04,240 Right. 105 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:05,680 And I didn't have a handler. 106 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,440 So I had the dog up for sale. 107 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:08,920 No one even wanted to come and look at him. 108 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,680 I had a thousand tire kickers. 109 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,600 Finally, I got ahold of Lee. 110 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,720 Told Lee if he'd buy a half interest, we'd run with him. 111 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:17,720 He did. 112 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,160 Got a few things fixed on him. 113 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,480 Took about two nights of hunting. 114 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:23,480 Right. 115 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,360 To fix what we needed to fix. 116 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,120 Got him May 25th, I believe, at Black and Tan Days. 117 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,840 PKC Black and Tan Days Monticello. 118 00:05:32,840 --> 00:05:33,920 Was a double cast winner. 119 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:34,920 Got him in. 120 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:40,640 Took a little run and been hunting him ever since. 121 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:46,760 He was third in the PKC state standings for 2023. 122 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,400 Got a tournament champion ticket. 123 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,640 Got a pup ticket in July. 124 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,840 Got a national ticket, of course. 125 00:05:54,840 --> 00:05:56,720 And made him a grand night. 126 00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:01,320 He had 15 UKC wins with all the PKC hunts we put him in also. 127 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:02,320 That's pretty impressive. 128 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,440 I know he had a good run at the UKC Indiana State too this year. 129 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:05,440 Yeah, he won it. 130 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,120 Double cast winner. 131 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:08,800 Put up a pretty good score. 132 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,500 And just trained those coons in state ground. 133 00:06:11,500 --> 00:06:14,020 So have you had Hook down south? 134 00:06:14,020 --> 00:06:15,320 Have you traveled him across the country? 135 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:16,880 What do you think he's going to do down here? 136 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,040 I expect the dog to travel. 137 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:20,160 He travels real well. 138 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:24,400 I expect the dog to do what he does. 139 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,960 He can tree any kind of coon. 140 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,160 He can tree the layups that ain't ever been down. 141 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,480 He trees the real hot coons and the feeding coons. 142 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:37,600 So I look for him to just do his Hook style training coons. 143 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,480 Is he the only dog you guys brought down here? 144 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:40,480 Yeah. 145 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:41,920 Because I know you own a couple other dogs. 146 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,160 I know you had another English dog. 147 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:44,800 I think you've still got a walker, right? 148 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,120 Yeah, I got Rackham Up Ben, silver champion. 149 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,200 Three-year-old Cody Burrows hunts him. 150 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,000 And Cody went through. 151 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,880 You know, he got married. 152 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,880 Now he's expecting his first child. 153 00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,600 So he hasn't been in a lot of hunts, but he's getting ready to rack him back up. 154 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:01,600 Right. 155 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:02,600 And he's a nice dog. 156 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,000 I mean, I handled him once and I've drawn out with him a couple of times. 157 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:06,000 He's a nice dog. 158 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,000 Yeah. 159 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,920 You never even heard the dog bark since I owned him. 160 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:15,280 And you went and regional and got him in the first round and we got beat late. 161 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:16,280 Yeah. 162 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:17,280 But I mean, it still was a good time. 163 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:18,280 Oh, yeah. 164 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:19,280 And just helping buddies out. 165 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,800 That was more of it for me, was just trying to help you out whenever you were in a pinch. 166 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:27,200 So what draws you to the English breed? 167 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:28,520 Is that what you've always hunted? 168 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,280 No, I've hunted about anything. 169 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:37,640 But English dogs, me and Lee owned a dog named Freak. 170 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:43,320 He placed sixth in the Supersteaks last year in the spring. 171 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,040 And he was a coon trader. 172 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:51,040 And then when I got hooked and Bub talked to me about him, I bought him sight unseen 173 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:55,720 because me and Bub's good buddies and he's always he knows what a dog is. 174 00:07:55,720 --> 00:08:00,240 And when I started hunting him, I seen he was a country or two. 175 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:05,640 So the English dogs have really put a big impression to me lately. 176 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,360 And what are you seeing out of them that you might not be seeing out of the other breeds? 177 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,120 I mean, is it just are you seeing something specific? 178 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:15,160 Well, I see good dogs in every breed. 179 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,460 But the Walker dog I got a little flashy. 180 00:08:18,460 --> 00:08:23,160 He's action packed where he'll miss a little bit. 181 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,920 But with Hook, I mean, when you're going to a tree, you just know you're either going 182 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,080 to see a coon or a dentary. 183 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:30,080 Right. 184 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:34,320 Now, an English dog, if I remember, I think the English dog Big Lee won this hunt last 185 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:35,320 year. 186 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:36,320 Yes, sir. 187 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,060 I talked to Chris Harley just about an hour ago. 188 00:08:38,060 --> 00:08:39,060 Is Lee down here this year? 189 00:08:39,060 --> 00:08:40,060 Do you know? 190 00:08:40,060 --> 00:08:41,060 Yep. 191 00:08:41,060 --> 00:08:42,060 He'll be hunting tonight. 192 00:08:42,060 --> 00:08:43,060 That's right. 193 00:08:43,060 --> 00:08:44,060 Have you heard anything about the hunting down here? 194 00:08:44,060 --> 00:08:45,060 No, I heard. 195 00:08:45,060 --> 00:08:47,400 Is there any place you don't want to get drawn out to? 196 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,080 I guess it all depends where you go, but you're going to get wet. 197 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:52,080 I reckon so. 198 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,080 And I think there's a storm coming in tonight. 199 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,680 Yeah, I'm going to stay pretty dry in the truck. 200 00:08:56,680 --> 00:08:58,880 Oh, you've got a nice sweatshirt on says truck man. 201 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:00,560 I really like it. 202 00:09:00,560 --> 00:09:02,800 Well, every good handler needs a good truck man. 203 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:03,800 That's pretty slick. 204 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:09,400 Yeah, I got the two knee replacements and I just it's in my blood. 205 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,640 So I just love to be involved. 206 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:18,200 So I just help Lee when I can and we go hunt and have a good time and when we go to these 207 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:23,600 hunts, he takes over and he does a phenomenal job with the hook. 208 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:24,600 Yeah. 209 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:25,600 Well, that's what it's all about. 210 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,680 You know, just run these hunts with your buddies, having a good time. 211 00:09:27,680 --> 00:09:29,000 And this is kind of the kickoff. 212 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,520 This is the start of the 2024 season. 213 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:35,480 Obviously, we're early January down south next month. 214 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,280 We're in South Carolina this month. 215 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:38,280 Next month, we'll be down in Mississippi. 216 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:39,280 We're winter class. 217 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:40,280 You're going to be going down there. 218 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,200 And we got a lot of hunts early spring. 219 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,440 So we're going to have to sit down and decide where we're going. 220 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:52,480 But you know, with the truck ticket one and nationals and PKC World being moved to the 221 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,560 spring, I think it favors hook. 222 00:09:55,560 --> 00:09:58,720 But there's a lot of hunts and you just with term and champion, you just got to figure 223 00:09:58,720 --> 00:09:59,720 out where you're going to go. 224 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:00,720 Right. 225 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:01,720 I mean, that's the thing. 226 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,440 You can really look around at any given time and find a hunt somewhere. 227 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,040 And when you've got a dog that you think can be hauled all over the country, you've got 228 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:08,760 to pick and choose where you're going to go. 229 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:09,760 Absolutely. 230 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,760 Hook, you know, I've had a lot of good dogs where you get down here a day or two early 231 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,120 and get them adjusted to travel. 232 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,720 But hook is he travels well. 233 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,560 Well, you got to have that, especially at these longer hunts and out of town. 234 00:10:23,560 --> 00:10:26,380 But Mr. Mitchell, I wish you nothing but the best. 235 00:10:26,380 --> 00:10:29,400 You and Lee, hopefully your handler don't throw it away for you. 236 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,320 Yeah, well, we're here to have a good time. 237 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,200 So we'll let the dog do whatever he's going to do. 238 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,480 And we'll walk away and have a good time either way. 239 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:40,480 Absolutely. 240 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:41,480 Absolutely. 241 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:42,480 So I appreciate you sitting down with us here. 242 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,480 Like you said,

down here at Grand American and I believe you had a Poth Point castman last time. 301 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:40,400 How'd it go? 302 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:41,400 Yeah. 303 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:42,400 Yeah. 304 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,600 I hunted the champ, though, you know, he's off country and oh, gosh, I want to sound 305 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:51,200 like I was 16 years old and I hunted it with Apollo again. 306 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,000 The year he won, we went out of Motes or the year I won out of Motes with him. 307 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,200 I thought it'd be cool when I'm out and then the Grand American. 308 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:57,720 I won my cast the first night then. 309 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,120 The second night I got on the beat on tiebreaker. 310 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:01,880 If it hadn't been for that, kind of got a bad deal. 311 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,760 But if it hadn't been for that, I'd have been in again in the Final Four. 312 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:08,160 This year, we counted it was a last minute deal. 313 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,360 I got it over to the governor's spot over there in Yemacy, South Carolina. 314 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:16,200 And the dog should have went north and he swung back behind us and went south. 315 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:20,080 I had a slick, you know, you can't hardly minus a palm tree because they're tall and 316 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:21,720 they've got a bowl down on top of them. 317 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,720 Well, I get a baby palm tree only about eight foot tall right out of the truck. 318 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,000 You got Seggit and First on it. 319 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,000 So minus that. 320 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,240 Now, you know how it is when you pull a minus right 200 out of the truck. 321 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:31,240 You got to catch up. 322 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:32,240 Anyway, he ended up treading. 323 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:36,080 He got through the country and he treated a big den. 324 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,080 Then he got through the country and treated a coon. 325 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,480 Cut him off that and he fell in there about 700 and treated a triple. 326 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,400 So he treated only two coons we looked at. 327 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:45,400 Yeah, he had a good job. 328 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:46,400 But he ended up with 125. 329 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,160 You know, not that slick. 330 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,120 Are you finding with him that you can take him across the country and he's the same dog? 331 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:52,400 Or how do you think of that? 332 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:56,040 Yeah, yeah, he's an incredible layup dog. 333 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:57,040 And that's like last night. 334 00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,120 You know, I think one dog had 375 minus at the end. 335 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:01,840 One had 400 minus, one had 500 minus. 336 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,160 I had a hundred quarter plus. 337 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:07,440 So you know, if you look at it that way, you say, well damn, you know, look pretty good. 338 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:08,960 But still wasn't enough to get you. 339 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:10,400 You got a cast win. 340 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:16,120 We need to put probably 657, 5800 maybe tonight, you know, with a cast win and you might have 341 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:17,120 a chance to get in this thing. 342 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:21,900 But yeah, he's really the same dog in any kind of country. 343 00:14:21,900 --> 00:14:26,340 He does better when he can stretch out and get more open woods or field edges and stuff 344 00:14:26,340 --> 00:14:27,340 like that. 345 00:14:27,340 --> 00:14:31,080 He don't do really good and a lot of coat over and blown down timber. 346 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:32,360 He is still a blue dog. 347 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:33,360 Right. 348 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:34,360 Gotcha. 349 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:35,360 So have you already drawn out tonight? 350 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:36,360 Do you know who you're hunting against? 351 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:37,360 I've drawn, but I don't know who I'm hunting against. 352 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:38,360 I didn't go back there and look. 353 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:39,360 All right. 354 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,560 So Champ, is he the one you're gonna be pushing here for a while? 355 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:42,560 Yeah, he is. 356 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:43,560 He is. 357 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:49,200 I see some really, really, really cool greatness in him, you know. 358 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,820 I've been saying I haven't ready by mid-March. 359 00:14:51,820 --> 00:14:52,820 He's a little ahead of schedule. 360 00:14:52,820 --> 00:14:57,120 I think I'm mid-February, first of March, getting him really ready. 361 00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,240 But he's the right kind. 362 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:00,760 He's got coons when he trees. 363 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,320 He's independent and, you know, good hunting dog. 364 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:04,320 So yeah. 365 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:05,320 Yeah. 366 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:06,320 Okay. 367 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,120 So one of the questions that I had when I was kind of intrigued when I saw you and Oxidine 368 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:14,080 and Jeff Rickliffe down here was there was a pro hunt going on last night and you guys 369 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:15,160 are down here at Grand American. 370 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:16,160 What drew you down here to this event? 371 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:17,480 Well, there's a couple of things. 372 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,200 Number one, I have a place in Georgia and I'm from here originally. 373 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:24,520 So we come down Thursday and we'll stay all the way through next Sunday. 374 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,840 So this weekend you get Grand American. 375 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,640 I went hunting and Ashley Oxidine, you know, he hunted a whole lot of hunts and he thought, 376 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:31,640 man, I want to hunt Grand American. 377 00:15:31,640 -->

Okay. 543 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,080 So that is kind of backwards from the way that I see it today. 544 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:12,080 Yeah. 545 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:15,200 A lot of times them guys don't push them as the, in the stud barn or in the magazines until 546 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:16,720 after they've won something big. 547 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:17,720 Yep. 548 00:20:17,720 -->

accident. 557 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:32,040 I brought him back. 558 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,080 I brought him, I retired him for a while and started back hunting. 559 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,040 Then he was an accident and you know, he was gone. 560 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:37,040 He died. 561 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:38,040 Right. 562 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:39,040 He got ran over. 563 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:40,040 What kind of pups did he throw? 564 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:41,040 Pretty good. 565 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:42,040 Pretty good. 566 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,520 I mean, there, there were a lot of them close to like him and I, I enjoyed a bunch of them. 567 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,640 I hunted them for five or six years, eight years, maybe after he passed. 568 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:48,640 Gotcha. 569 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,240 But he was throwing some good pups. 570 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:51,240 Okay. 571 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,560 Now personal question here as far as opinion. 572 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:54,560 Yep. 573 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:58,120 Can you take a dog from the South and win in the North and can you take a dog from North 574 00:20:58,120 --> 00:20:59,480 and win down here in the South? 575 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:00,480 Which one's easier? 576 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:05,440 Um, well, coon dogs are going to, they're going to show wherever they go. 577 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,840 Um, the South is harder hunting in my opinion. 578 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:10,920 There's more of a coon population in the North. 579 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:11,920 Right. 580 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,840 But honestly, you know, it's the good Lord's blessing. 581 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:15,840 I agree with that one. 582 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:20,200 I mean that, that one there, I mean there's good, good hunters and good dogs everywhere, 583 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,420 but when it's your turn, it's your turn. 584 00:21:22,420 --> 00:21:27,120 But I believe in hunting, when you're hunting with people, show, show them, you know, do 585 00:21:27,120 --> 00:21:28,600 right. 586 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,680 Always help them find their coon and be a, nothing but a gentleman of sport. 587 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,360 Cause you're going to win, you're going to lose. 588 00:21:33,360 --> 00:21:34,360 That's right. 589 00:21:34,360 --> 00:21:39,200 And saying that there, you know, I just say, um, good luck to everybody wherever you go. 590 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:40,200 Absolutely. 591 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:41,640 And we know we need some more of that attitude around here. 592 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,120 Cause it's not what some people think it is. 593 00:21:43,120 --> 00:21:46,600 If you're new to the sport, you're new to the podcast and competition coon hunting. 594 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,160 It's not everybody got cheated. 595 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:49,160 Everybody got screwed. 596 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:50,320 There's a lot of good people in this sport. 597 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:51,320 That's right. 598 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:52,640 And we need to all continue to try to be that way. 599 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,500 I've met a tremendous amount of folks through coon hunting. 600 00:21:55,500 --> 00:21:56,800 You and me both brother, you and me both. 601 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:57,800

00:27:51,920 No, I'm in hunting him. 771 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:53,600 You've been hunting him hard. 772 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,480 Yeah, we've been hunting. 773 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,720 So I know you hunted last night. 774 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,800 You and Strickland both got double or got both got a cast win. 775 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:01,800 Right. 776 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:02,800 Have you figured out where you're going tonight yet? 777 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:03,800 Haven't heard. 778 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,840 No, they drew or I went and signed us up earlier. 779 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:10,920 Well, Ashley was doing a different podcast actually and they got our cast number, but 780 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:12,600 we don't know who's going to draw. 781 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,040 Who else is running around trying to get recordings? 782 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,680 No, this was, oh yeah, no, Josh McHale. 783 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,040 Oh, Josh over there at Joy. 784 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:21,040 Well good. 785 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,720 So when y'all get done listening to this, go over there, give Josh some love. 786 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:24,960 I didn't know he was out running around. 787 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:26,400 No, he was actually at the motel. 788 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,720 He did a big long one with him at your motel. 789 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:30,720 Yeah, this morning. 790 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:31,720 Perfect. 791 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:32,920 Well, we are always here to support all those guys. 792 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:34,640 Josh does a good job with what he has. 793 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,200 Ashley, what's your plans for Hobo going forward? 794 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:38,360 You know, I don't get to hunt. 795 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:43,480 Our season here in the South is we start in October, November. 796 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:49,720 My good hunting is over March and Jeff will have him back. 797 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:51,880 You know, it works perfect for me. 798 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:56,640 So that'll give me some time to enjoy him and hunt him and just he'll come just like 799 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:57,640 now. 800 00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,080 You know, we wanted to truck hunt next week. 801 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:00,560 He's going to hunt lady. 802 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,880 So just trying to give me an opportunity to enjoy him a little bit. 803 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:04,880 Yeah, absolutely. 804 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:08,040 You know, I know that I've been told you work a ton and you know, you're really invested 805 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:09,680 in what you do outside of Coonhound. 806 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,520 So it's got to be nice to be able to have a nice dog that you can come back, get your 807 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:16,400 hands on for a few months, enjoy him and then take him back to somebody like Jeff who you 808 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:17,560 know he's going to be in good hands. 809 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:19,760 You know you can trust him and you know that you're going to have a good chance at winning 810 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:20,760 with. 811 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:21,760 That's right. 812 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:22,760 Jeff takes care of him and does a good job. 813 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:26,720 And you know, we have dogs, but not many of them can come down here and treat Coons like 814 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:30,120 that and just, you know, and Hobo, he loves it. 815 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,720 And he does, he does phenomenal. 816 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,560 That's one thing I want to iterate on that. 817 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,560 You know, Bryce, of course we live 30 minutes apart. 818 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:43,400 So you know, our hunting is relatively easy compared to this hunting. 819 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:47,800 And I was at Ashley's for a week last winter and it's a different world. 820 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:52,240 And I think it's just absolutely awesome to bring a dog. 821 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:56,560 Some of them never do adjust, but Hobo, he had him down two years ago and he's, they've 822 00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:00,000 never seen a dog from the North take to his water and hunting. 823 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,400 And I think it, it helps them adjust. 824 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,880 Cause you know, we travel all over the United States and hunt in every state there that 825 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:07,440 has a competition. 826 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:12,160 So basically Hobo's, you know, he's, he's ready for any kind of trains. 827 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,240 What I'm saying, when Ashley hunts him down here, it helps immensely. 828 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:16,240 Right. 829 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:17,240 Absolutely. 830 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,560 Cause we don't get the chance to hunt the swamps and stuff like this. 831 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,960 Being able to send that dog down here and have a working team and a working relationship, 832 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:27,640 it really puts the dog in the best position and it makes both y'all's lives easier in 833 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:31,920 my opinion, because if you're struggling with one thing, you need to get ready for one hunt, 834 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:32,920 bam, it's there. 835 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:33,920 Just send him and get him ready. 836 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:34,920 That's right. 837 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:35,920 Well, you know how our weather can be too. 838 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,200 Like, I don't know if you've looked at our weather for next week. 839 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,640 I haven't, but I heard we're getting snow right now. 840 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:45,200 Next week though, it's supposed to be single digits with six to 12 inches of snow. 841 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,340 So what, you know, what would I do with Hobo up there then? 842 00:30:47,340 --> 00:30:49,200 So he'll be down here and Ashley will still be hunting him. 843 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:53,960 It's you know, and that's another thing I wanted to iterate was, you know, Ashley is 844 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:55,600 a great dog man. 845 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:56,600 We hunt the same. 846 00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,760 We have the same ideas on training. 847 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:03,360 So it's not like a clash where I'm like, oh man, Ashley's doing this and I, you know, 848 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:04,360 I don't like that. 849 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,640 Or, you know, we think the same way. 850 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:07,640 So it's great. 851 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:08,640 Right. 852 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,740 Now, one other thing actually that I wanted to just ask you about real quick here is that 853 00:31:11,740 --> 00:31:13,480 I've heard that you're not just into coon dogs. 854 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,040 You've got some personal protection dogs too. 855 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:16,040 Oh yeah. 856 00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,000 So tell me a little bit more about that, because I heard you're real big into that and like, 857 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:20,000 you've got some nice ones. 858 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,800 Like give me a little bit more information on that. 859 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:26,960 We got, I got three brood females that we imported, super nice, fully trained. 860 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:32,760 All our dogs, the difference between my Germans and everybody else in training, they have 861 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:34,160 a year with children. 862 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:39,520 Like my dogs come in and just like, we put our dogs in, just say like you got two babies, 863 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:41,280 we train them for a whole year. 864 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,640 Our dogs got to be proven around family. 865 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,120 Absolutely 100%. 866 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:50,560 And that's the biggest advantage for my dogs. 867 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:56,840 And we sell a guy from up around Charlotte, he owns the males, he's big and he deals with 868 00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,040 like real famous people. 869 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:03,560 And I invested in three females with him and everything I produce, he buys back. 870 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:05,520 And he trains them and sells them. 871 00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:08,160 I got some of the nicest dogs on the East Coast. 872 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:12,680 Yeah, I've heard that and that has always interested me and you know, just to take guys 873 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:16,040 who can go from different disciplines, you know, you can work with the personal protection 874 00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:17,360 dogs and go work with the coon dogs. 875 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,800 It's just a well, all around houndsman, you know, and it really is simple dog and you're 876 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:21,800 always dogging. 877 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:22,800 And I love it, man. 878 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:27,480 I told Josh this morning, I said just ever since I was a little boy, I just had a gift 879 00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,280 about picking out a good dog. 880 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,680 And it didn't matter, you know, coon dogs or Germany Shepherds. 881 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:40,320 And I got two phenomenal females that's I mean, first class, like they're the real deal. 882 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,440 You wouldn't even know they're female, you'd think they're males. 883 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:43,440 Yeah. 884 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,320 And I got a fortune in them too, but I love it. 885 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,360 Yeah, well, that's what it's all about, man. 886 00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,280 Doing something you love and having friends like Jeff and Strickland and all then to do 887 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:52,280 it with. 888 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:53,280 So that's right. 889 00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:56,480 Wish you guys nothing but the best tonight and your hunts and Jeff, make sure you get 890 00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:58,000 the truck where it needs to be at the end of the hunt. 891 00:32:58,000 --> 00:32:59,000 Hey, I walked last night. 892 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:00,000 I'm going to walk again. 893 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,360 You never know Ashley might go down. 894

00:33:55,360 I come down here just to hang out. 915 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:56,360 You hunting? 916 00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:57,840 We're going to pleasure hunt tonight. 917 00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,800 Man, you're the second or third person said they're just going to pleasure hunt tonight. 918 00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:01,800 What about you, Walt? 919 00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:02,800 Yeah, I'm Walt Costco. 920 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:04,800 I'm from Shell City, Missouri. 921 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:08,680 I'm here representing four X Floyd and bet the farm. 922 00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:09,880 We got a bunch of pups here today. 923 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:11,160 We've got 30 pups or so. 924 00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:12,160 I've sold a bunch of them already. 925 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:16,680 I know they're high price, but they're selling like firecrackers. 926 00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:17,680 Okay. 927 00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:21,080 So, give me a little bit more on four X Floyd. 928 00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:22,080 Tell me about him. 929 00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:23,080 How'd you get him? 930 00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:24,080 Just give me the scoop on him. 931 00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,240 Scoop on four X Floyd. 932 00:34:26,240 --> 00:34:32,040 Bought him from Lane Denny at Just Ween. 933 00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:37,460 We went and picked him out and Terry Bennett and I and my son, Jud Costco. 934 00:34:37,460 --> 00:34:48,480 We bought four pups that day and four X Floyd, he was the puppy that I got. 935 00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,820 Terry ended up with three more of them. 936 00:34:50,820 --> 00:34:53,000 Me and Terry went half interest on the dog. 937 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:58,400 Terry's been in the business for 40 years breeding dogs. 938 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:05,040 I thought, well, if I'm going to do this right, Terry's got a black book of breeders that's 939 00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:08,200 hell three foot deep and mine's about two inches deep. 940 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:11,120 So I thought it'd be better if I had him on my side. 941 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:16,120 And next thing you know, heck, we're hunting Floyd in the hunts. 942 00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:18,880 And we sent a little story on his name. 943 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,960 Everybody's like, has he really won four world championships? 944 00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:22,960 I said, no. 945 00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,520 I said, but UKC says he hasn't. 946 00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:31,180 Behind that is when we sent the paperwork in on Floyd, named him four X world champion 947 00:35:31,180 --> 00:35:33,680 Floyd and it was during the pandemic. 948 00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:38,680 And they didn't catch the name and it went through the system and man, boom, boom, boom, 949 00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:39,680 main night champion overnight. 950 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:41,160 And they couldn't do anything about it. 951 00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:44,240 And lo and behold, his name's four X world champion Floyd. 952 00:35:44,240 --> 00:35:45,840 But you know what? 953 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:47,920 The dog is a reproducing fool. 954 00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:49,840 It doesn't matter what it is we bring him to. 955 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:53,800 In fact, I like to find a chihuahua to bring him to just to prove a point. 956 00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:54,800 Right. 957 00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,160 They got to name it four X chichi or something like that. 958 00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:58,800 I was wondering where the name came from. 959 00:35:58,800 --> 00:35:59,800 Okay. 960 00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:00,800 So give me the four X. 961 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:01,800 What's behind the four X? 962 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,240 I kind of know the back story, but our listeners might not. 963 00:36:04,240 --> 00:36:10,080 The four X came from, of course he's off of Rackham Willie and Rackham Williams, a two 964 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:11,640 time world champion dog. 965 00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:16,600 And they put it on their two X world champion Rackham Willie and of course, Insane Emmy 966 00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:18,600 Lane Denny's dog. 967 00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:19,960 She's a two time world champion also. 968 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:25,640 And he puts on their two X world champion Insane Emmy and F two plus two. 969 00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:26,640 What is that? 970 00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:27,640 That's four, baby. 971 00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:28,640 That's four. 972 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:29,640 So we got it on. 973 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:30,640 We got it down. 974 00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:31,640 Yeah. 975 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:33,760 So that's how you got four X bet the farm. 976 00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:34,760 That's right. 977 00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:35,760 All right. 978 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:37,000

00:36:42,200 He's just a coon dog. 982 00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:45,760 He just goes and does his thing, gets treated and good about having the coons. 983 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:46,760 Okay. 984 00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:47,760 So I'm guessing he's off of Floyd. 985 00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:48,760 Oh yeah. 986 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,200 Is that, is that what all you guys are hunting and stuff

1184 00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:09,240 My name is Cyrus Woodard, AKA Woody Entertainment on YouTube or Dark Horse Candidate on Instagram. 1185 00:44:09,240 --> 00:44:13,920 I'm up in Cleveland County, North Carolina, and I'm here at Grand American because it's 1186 00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:17,240 just my passion and love, you know, dogs and. 1187 00:44:17,240 --> 00:44:18,240 Absolutely. 1188 00:44:18,240 --> 00:44:19,240 So, okay. 1189 00:44:19,240 --> 00:44:21,240 So tell me about this dog we got sitting right here next to us right now. 1190 00:44:21,240 --> 00:44:23,240 We've got a little red bone female sitting here. 1191 00:44:23,240 --> 00:44:24,240 Correct. 1192 00:44:24,240 --> 00:44:27,040 So we have Brandine and I named her Brandy. 1193 00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,200 I named all my hounds off the Simpsons characters. 1194 00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:30,520 I did not know that. 1195 00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:31,520 Yep. 1196 00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:35,560 So my first was Cletus. 1197 00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:36,560 Okay. 1198 00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:37,560 Right. 1199 00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:44,040 So I named the Simpsons and then you got Brandy and that's Cletus's wife slash sister. 1200 00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:46,560 And then she was a redhead, you know, on the Simpsons. 1201 00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:47,560 Brandy was a redhead. 1202 00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:48,880 I haven't even watched the Simpsons. 1203 00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:50,160 And then she's a red bone. 1204 00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:52,080 So it makes sense. 1205 00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:57,880 And then my gas gone blue, bleating gums Murphy, you know, the saxophone guy. 1206 00:44:57,880 --> 00:44:58,880 Right. 1207 00:44:58,880 --> 00:44:59,880 Okay. 1208 00:44:59,880 --> 00:45:00,880 Yep. 1209 00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:01,880 Gotcha. 1210 00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:02,880 Okay. 1211 00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:03,880 So tell me a little about Brandy. 1212 00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:04,880 And if you raise it from a pup, is she hunting this weekend? 1213 00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:06,360 What are you going on with her? 1214 00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:08,680 So she is going to be pleasure hunting. 1215 00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:11,080 I'm not really a big competition guy. 1216 00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:12,080 Okay. 1217 00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:14,400 Um, but I had her since she was a puppy. 1218 00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:18,680 I actually picked her up from a Walker days, like three years ago. 1219 00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:19,680 Gotcha. 1220 00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:20,680 Yeah. 1221 00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:24,200 And I, and I showed how to, you know, develop her and you know, in my way. 1222 00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:27,660 So ever since she was a pup, is she turning out for you? 1223 00:45:27,660 --> 00:45:28,660 She pleases me. 1224 00:45:28,660 --> 00:45:29,660 That's all I care about. 1225 00:45:29,660 --> 00:45:31,580 That's all that's all that matters. 1226 00:45:31,580 --> 00:45:32,580 That's right. 1227 00:45:32,580 --> 00:45:33,580 Okay. 1228 00:45:33,580 --> 00:45:34,580 Now you mentioned earlier something about the gas cones. 1229 00:45:34,580 --> 00:45:35,840 Tell us a little bit more about that breed. 1230 00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:37,880 I don't know very many people that run those gas cones. 1231 00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:39,760 No, a lot of people don't. 1232 00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:44,280 They just think it's a regular a blue tick would actually, it's actually not actually 1233 00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:45,880 quite bigger, more houndy. 1234 00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:46,880 Okay. 1235 00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:51,560 You know, like droop more droop to them, a really cold nose, uh, dogs. 1236 00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:52,940 Technically they were really in the Midwest. 1237 00:45:52,940 --> 00:45:56,240 People use them for mountain lions and bears for their cold tracking ability. 1238 00:45:56,240 --> 00:45:57,240 Okay. 1239 00:45:57,240 --> 00:46:00,640 Um, old school ball mouth dogs, um, French lineage. 1240 00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:01,640 Okay. 1241 00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:03,400 Oh, I, so I didn't know that, but it makes it gas cone. 1242 00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:04,800 I guess that's a French. 1243 00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:05,800 Yep. 1244 00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:06,800 French lineage. 1245 00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:12,800 Um, but you can use them for whatever, you know, I used, uh, Cletus and Murphy at the 1246 00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:16,480 time that I had them, uh, for Coon and they were, you know, good dogs. 1247 00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:19,160 Took them a little while, but I love an old school ball mouth dog. 1248 00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:20,160 What's their style. 1249 00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:23,240 They just kind of slow pick around on the track, not really blowing through the country. 1250 00:46:23,240 --> 00:46:24,240 Right. 1251 00:46:24,240 --> 00:46:25,240 Exactly. 1252 00:46:25,240 --> 00:46:26,240 As soon as you cut them, they put their nose down. 1253 00:46:26,240 --> 00:46:27,240 And that's how I like it. 1254 00:46:27,240 --> 00:46:30,620 Cause I don't want a dog to, as soon as you clip the lead, they run a mile before they 1255 00:46:30,620 --> 00:46:31,620 put their nose down. 1256 00:46:31,620 --> 00:46:34,560 You'll miss three, four, probably 10 Coons. 1257 00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:35,560 Right. 1258 00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:39,560 And just by running when you could, you know, just stick your nose to the ground and you 1259 00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:40,880 could pick them up as you go. 1260 00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:41,880 Absolutely. 1261 00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:45,480 So, so you really are enjoying more of the pleasure style going out and just you and the 1262 00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:46,480 dogs. 1263 00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:47,800 I mean, just, yeah, it's, it's therapy. 1264 00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:50,160 Do you hunt by yourself mostly or who do you hunt with? 1265 00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:55,240 Yeah, mostly by myself, but I do try to travel the best that I can, you know, to hunt with 1266 00:46:55,240 --> 00:46:56,240 other people. 1267 00:46:56,240 --> 00:46:59,120 But you know, I still want to have my dog has his own independence. 1268 00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:00,120 That's right. 1269 00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:01,480 Well, you're doing a good job with the man. 1270 00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:04,360 I've followed you along for a little bit on what you had going on there. 1271 00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:08,640 So especially when Brandine was coming up, you had her training her and doing her stuff. 1272 00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:10,160 You definitely got your own style for sure. 1273 00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:11,160 Oh yeah, absolutely. 1274 00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:12,160 Absolutely. 1275 00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:17,440 I try to combine my, uh, my grandfather's style with a little bit of my own. 1276 00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:18,440 Right. 1277 00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:20,920 So if anybody wants to go online and find you, where can they find you at? 1278 00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:26,000 Uh, they could find me on Instagram, which is dark horse candidate with an underscore, 1279 00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:27,960 or you just look at my videos. 1280 00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:31,200 Um, Woody entertainment, Woody entertainment guys. 1281 00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:33,680

these have 1320 00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:23,120 you made it to? 1321 00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:25,520 Is it like Otter Moaks where you have a standing record? 1322 00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:32,960 Well, my record, due to the fact that I kind of bounced around with the different registries, 1323 00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:34,760 sometimes that took me away. 1324 00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:41,160 But the grand American has been one that it seemed no matter who I was with at the time, 1325 00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:47,720 uh, Harry Ott, for instance, is the kind of the local guy with the, with the association 1326 00:49:47,720 --> 00:49:49,720 that runs all this. 1327 00:49:49,720 --> 00:49:53,080 And he's here in Orangeburg and he's kind of the go-to guy. 1328 00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:56,400 I mean, Harry's been here forever. 1329 00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:57,920 And people look up to him. 1330 00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:03,080 Of course, David McKee being, you know, the president of the association and all, he's 1331 00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:05,280 the honcho, but Harry is the guy. 1332 00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:06,280 Okay. 1333 00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:07,280 You want anything done? 1334 00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:08,280 You want to do it? 1335 00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:13,920 And Harry told me years ago, and I don't say this bragging, but he said, Steve, I don't 1336 00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:14,920 care who you with. 1337 00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:18,200 You're always welcome at the grand American. 1338 00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:24,280 So I, you know, I kind of took that to heart and even when I was with UKC and this was 1339 00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:30,560 an AKC event, I came and I had a booth and they were glad for me to be here with Cunhaun 1340 00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:35,600 Bloodlines magazine and, and same thing with PKC and then AKC. 1341 00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:41,760 So I've, grand Americans just been, if you live in the Southeast at first, you got to 1342 00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:43,760 start your year off at the grand American. 1343 00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:44,760 Yeah. 1344 00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:45,760 It's just how you kick it off. 1345 00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:46,760 Yeah. 1346 00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:49,800 It's just like the ball fall in New York city. 1347 00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:50,800 Yeah. 1348 00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:51,800 It's what you do. 1349 00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:52,800 Absolutely. 1350 00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:54,160 So I know you got your Gone to the Dogs hat on. 1351 00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:55,600 Have you been selling any books over there? 1352 00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:56,600 Oh yeah. 1353 00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:59,800 Had, you know, been pleasantly surprised this weekend. 1354 00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:03,360 Have sold quite a few, had to crack open a new box just while ago. 1355 00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:04,360 Yeah. 1356 00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:08,040 I'm not a reader, but I have a Gone to the Dogs book and it sits on my shelf and I enjoy 1357 00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:09,040 it. 1358 00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:10,800 So I encourage anybody out there to go do more. 1359 00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:16,360 Well, you'd be like that guy says, I know what's in every book and every library in 1360 00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:17,360 the world. 1361 00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:18,360 What's that? 1362 00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:19,360 Words. 1363 00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:20,360 That's a fact, Jack. 1364 00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:23,360 So you know, that's a fact. 1365 00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:25,920 Anyway, but I was a reader, always was a reader. 1366 00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:26,920 I'm old school. 1367 00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:27,920 Yeah. 1368 00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:29,880 So, but they're still out there. 1369 00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:30,880 They are. 1370 00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:32,400 Is your dog fever down here this weekend? 1371 00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:33,400 He's here, man. 1372 00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:36,160 Did you put him in the train contest? 1373 00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:37,160 Mark did yesterday. 1374 00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:38,160 How'd he do? 1375 00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:39,760 Hey, you know what? 1376 00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:47,680 In the first round, he narrowly missed, but he decided he wanted to go in ball mouth mode 1377 00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:49,680 for a short span. 1378 00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:53,240 So Mark says, I know he can do better than that. 1379 00:51:53,240 --> 00:51:59,280 So he reentered him and I believe I could be wrong, but I believe it was 72 or 73 barks 1380 00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:00,280 in 30 seconds. 1381 00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:01,720 Now that's getting up. 1382 00:52:01,720 --> 00:52:02,720 It is. 1383 00:52:02,720 --> 00:52:06,920 But the last dog was right behind him and beat him by a couple barks. 1384 00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:12,440 Cause if I, now my memory might do me a misservice here, but I believe he won the train contest 1385 00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:13,440 last year. 1386 00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:14,440 Right? 1387 00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:15,440 He won it last year. 1388 00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:16,440 He was just a year old at that time. 1389 00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:17,680 He had a big time down here. 1390 00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:21,160 He ended up being high score and plot male. 1391 00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:22,160 I get that. 1392 00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:24,720 It's the bone in that calls behind you. 1393 00:52:24,720 --> 00:52:25,720 Yeah. 1394 00:52:25,720 --> 00:52:26,720 We must have Phil Robertson. 1395 00:52:26,720 --> 00:52:31,800 Now that's part of the fun, part of the fun of doing these live shows. 1396 00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:33,800 You never know what's going to be in the background. 1397 00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:35,240 Mr. Steve, thank you so much. 1398 00:52:35,240 --> 00:52:38,240 I don't want to keep you very long, but we, we did have to have you on here. 1399 00:52:38,240 --> 00:52:39,240 It's a pleasure. 1400 00:52:39,240 --> 00:52:44,160 And I just want to say, I want to publicly wish you the best with your new Semper dog 1401 00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:46,100 and they thank you podcast. 1402 00:52:46,100 --> 00:52:47,100 We need more. 1403 00:52:47,100 --> 00:52:50,400 I, you know, guys say, well, you know, is that competition? 1404 00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:51,400 Heck no. 1405 00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:52,400 It's not competition. 1406 00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:56,320 We need to be talking about the sport as much as we can. 1407 00:52:56,320 --> 00:53:01,240 The more positive avenues that we can explore out there. 1408 00:53:01,240 --> 00:53:02,240 Right. 1409 00:53:02,240 --> 00:53:03,240 Absolutely. 1410 00:53:03,240 --> 00:53:06,560 I was talking to Jason earlier over there at full crime and he said the same thing. 1411 00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:09,200 He said, a rising time, rising tide lifts all ships. 1412 00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:11,600 And I was like, that's a pretty good quote. 1413 00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:12,600 Pretty close. 1414 00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:13,600 I'll close with this. 1415 00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:18,960 I told the guy the other day, my role now, you know, I had all those great years of involvement. 1416 00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:24,320 I'm the cheerleader, cheerleader for guys like you, the younger generation, the new 1417 00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:27,680 hunters that are coming in, keep this thing ball rolling. 1418 00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:32,960 There's been a lot of sweating tears and a lot of years, but it's a great sport. 1419 00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:35,560 And it needs to go on forever. 1420 00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:36,560 Yep. 1421 00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:37,560 I agree. 1422 00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:38,680 I'm all for it. 1423 00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:41,960 I'm like grandpa sitting in the stand at the little

00:58:11,920 But you know growing up my coon club, the coon club I'm in, we give them a shout out, 1536 00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:14,680 Whitmire Coon Hunters Association. 1537 00:58:14,680 --> 00:58:20,080 We used to run the kitchen back there and we did it for years and years and now we quit 1538 00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:26,000 doing that so now as part of our coon club we help disperse out and do certain things. 1539 00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:27,840 So we help. 1540 00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:31,040 Ok so give yourself a plug for Cunhaun Confidentials. 1541 00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:34,640 Tell

up, we have fun, but we like to look for all the creepy and crazy and weird 1544 00:58:43,840 --> 00:58:48,000 coon hunting stories that people have had and just kind of look for them all over the 1545 00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:49,000 United States. 1546 00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:52,600 We're always tracking them down, trying to track them down and I think we've got about 1547 00:58:52,600 --> 00:58:56,400 four to record going into 2024. 1548 00:58:56,400 --> 00:59:00,360 Probably start that recording Monday I think. 1549 00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:03,640 Ok so I got you nailed down here for just a few minutes. 1550 00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:09,400 Give me a story that has some South Carolina mystique. 1551 00:59:09,400 --> 00:59:13,280 As far as coon hunting goes I can't, I don't have a whole lot of… 1552 00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:14,920 Just give me a story, something local to hear. 1553 00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:19,480 Well something if you're getting down here you're going to get into the legend of the 1554 00:59:19,480 --> 00:59:21,080 Lizard Man. 1555 00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:22,080 The Lizard Man? 1556 00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:24,920 Yeah, yeah it happened at Skapor Swamp back in the 80's. 1557 00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:29,500 It was like a real phenomenon that happened and that was being reported and the cool thing 1558 00:59:29,500 --> 00:59:35,880 about that was the sheriff actually took it serious and investigated it and it was like 1559 00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:41,540 a thing that was in that part of… 1560 00:59:41,540 --> 00:59:42,540 That would be down here. 1561 00:59:42,540 --> 00:59:48,360 I don't know exactly how far that is from Orangeburg but the legend of the Lizard Man. 1562 00:59:48,360 --> 00:59:49,920 So what were they saying about it? 1563 00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:52,600 Was this Lizard Man out around the swamps or what was going on? 1564 00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:53,600 Yeah kind of. 1565 00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:58,760 It started off with there was a young black dude who was fixing a flat. 1566 00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:02,120 I think he was fixing a flat, that's kind of hard to remember now just off the top of 1567 01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:04,080 my head. 1568 01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:10,840 And he had a run in with this creature and it freaked him out and he went and he reported 1569 01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:16,000 it and all this other stuff and around the same time there was a farmer that was like… 1570 01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:19,600 He reported seeing a creature like that. 1571 01:00:19,600 --> 01:00:20,780 Now it's debatable. 1572 01:00:20,780 --> 01:00:28,560 Was he describing a Lizard Lizard Man or where is it like a Bigfoot type creature? 1573 01:00:28,560 --> 01:00:29,560 Okay Bigfoot. 1574 01:00:29,560 --> 01:00:32,280 Let's go into Bigfoot for a second. 1575 01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:33,280 Yeah. 1576 01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:35,160 Okay first off, believer or non-believer? 1577 01:00:35,160 --> 01:00:36,160 Me? 1578 01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:37,160 Believer. 1579 01:00:37,160 --> 01:00:38,160 Believer. 1580 01:00:38,160 --> 01:00:39,160 He believes. 1581 01:00:39,160 --> 01:00:40,160 I'm a believer. 1582 01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:44,720 Okay so you had Autumn Oaks and recorded with my father-in-law about his Bigfoot experience. 1583 01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:45,720 Yep. 1584 01:00:45,720 --> 01:00:48,120 Whatever come of that, what do you think of that one? 1585 01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:49,120 What's your personal opinion on that? 1586 01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:50,120 Oh yeah, personally yeah. 1587 01:00:50,120 --> 01:00:52,600 Get out of here Josh McHaleus, don't interrupt my podcast. 1588 01:00:52,600 --> 01:00:54,400 I didn't know he was here. 1589 01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:57,680 They brought enough joy dog food with them. 1590 01:00:57,680 --> 01:01:01,680 It's like 15 tons over there. 1591 01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:04,200 Okay so about his story with the Bigfoot. 1592 01:01:04,200 --> 01:01:09,120 So to fill people in just real quick down and dirty, my father-in-law had this track 1593 01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:13,200 in his driveway whenever it was snow on the ground. 1594 01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:17,960 Looked to be an oversized foot in about what, six to eight foot distances between the strides. 1595 01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:19,920 Yeah those were about six foot strides. 1596 01:01:19,920 --> 01:01:22,320 Between the strides in a straight line. 1597 01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:23,480 They took a mold of it. 1598 01:01:23,480 --> 01:01:27,720 They had some people come down and as far as they know, it's a Bigfoot track. 1599 01:01:27,720 --> 01:01:29,660 Yep, I believe it. 1600 01:01:29,660 --> 01:01:31,640 What about that story sticks out to you? 1601 01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:34,040 They were all in a straight line. 1602 01:01:34,040 --> 01:01:39,720 That's kind of one of the things from like different tracks or that people have seen 1603 01:01:39,720 --> 01:01:46,760 or be tracking is in a situation like that is they all seem to be going like one in like 1604 01:01:46,760 --> 01:01:52,200 a tightrope one foot in front of the other and not like a left and a right like we would 1605 01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:53,200 staggered. 1606 01:01:53,200 --> 01:01:54,200 Right. 1607 01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:56,960 So when I seen that picture that I can't remember her name. 1608 01:01:56,960 --> 01:01:57,960 Was her name Becky? 1609 01:01:57,960 --> 01:01:58,960 Yep Becky. 1610 01:01:58,960 --> 01:02:03,800 When I seen the picture she showed them to me at Winter Classic last year and I was like 1611 01:02:03,800 --> 01:02:04,800 that's not fake. 1612 01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:10,920 That's kind of like, I don't say it's common but this just come from like listening to 1613 01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:15,720 different podcasts and seeing different pictures on certain pages and stuff like that and I 1614 01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:21,280 was like okay but then he said it was like six foot strides and he took it serious himself. 1615 01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:22,280 Yeah he did. 1616 01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:24,200 I mean they had a daggone mold made out of it. 1617 01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:25,200 They like froze it. 1618 01:02:25,200 --> 01:02:28,640 They scooped, cut around the snow, scooped it up, froze it, made a mold. 1619 01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:29,640 I mean it's a whole deal. 1620 01:02:29,640 --> 01:02:32,560 Now I can't say, I don't know how I feel about it. 1621 01:02:32,560 --> 01:02:38,040 And that's my own father-in-law but it leaves you wondering. 1622 01:02:38,040 --> 01:02:41,000 Yeah once you get into it you'll start getting into the debate. 1623 01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:45,760 If you like really like start listening to podcasts you'll find out real quick in the 1624 01:02:45,760 --> 01:02:48,480 Bigfoot community it'll be split. 1625 01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:53,160 Is it flesh and blood or is there something spiritual about it? 1626 01:02:53,160 --> 01:02:54,560 I've never even heard that deal. 1627 01:02:54,560 --> 01:02:59,960 Could it be something of a remnant of the Nephilim in the book of Genesis? 1628 01:02:59,960 --> 01:03:04,120 And dude I don't even want to get started on that because I like to go deep and I could 1629 01:03:04,120 --> 01:03:12,000 go deep on that but I lean toward that as I'm a very spiritual minded person and there 1630 01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:17,560 just seems to be certain things about the legend of Bigfoot or some of the stories that 1631 01:03:17,560 --> 01:03:22,360 kind of make me just think hmm it might be something spiritual aspect but then there 1632 01:03:22,360 --> 01:03:27,160 also is that part of me that says could the government be knowing about this and breeding 1633 01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:31,480 and making hybrids of these things and. 1634 01:03:31,480 --> 01:03:32,480 It's a different perspective. 1635 01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:39,960 Oh yeah we go down all the rabbit trails but not on our podcast but going into just looking 1636 01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:41,800 into the subject on my own. 1637 01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:46,720 Now you know we kind of try to steer it back toward hound hunting and coon hunting and 1638 01:03:46,720 --> 01:03:48,940 stuff like that. 1639 01:03:48,940 --> 01:03:51,760 So speaking of coon hunting you got a dog entered in this event this week? 1640 01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:52,760 Man no. 1641 01:03:52,760 --> 01:03:53,760 Why not? 1642 01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:54,760 I work this thing. 1643 01:03:54,760 --> 01:03:57,960 It's 7

me see I can see him in his glasses. 1650 01:04:10,240 --> 01:04:11,240 Okay. 1651 01:04:11,240 --> 01:04:16,840 So he's one of the co-hosts and Dustin is I think he's working over in the barn this 1652 01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:22,280 year and we've seen him earlier. 1653 01:04:22,280 --> 01:04:27,360 But we get up here at 7 right before 7 o'clock every morning before the vendors get here 1654 01:04:27,360 --> 01:04:30,920 everything we set up and we ready to go. 1655 01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:36,600 Like my job is patrolling that dog lot out there. 1656 01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:38,960 No bulldogs no guns. 1657 01:04:38,960 --> 01:04:43,600 Supposed to be nothing new like that the vendors here like paid spots for. 1658 01:04:43,600 --> 01:04:44,600 Right. 1659 01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:45,600 Stuff like that. 1660 01:04:45,600 --> 01:04:46,600 Okay. 1661 01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:47,600 So it's just patrolling. 1662 01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:50,360 Yeah so this is like one of the biggest events that I go to so there's got to be a lot of 1663 01:04:50,360 --> 01:04:54,000 hands on deck a lot of help and you know we couldn't do it without you guys. 1664 01:04:54,000 --> 01:04:55,000 Absolutely. 1665 01:04:55,000 --> 01:04:56,960 Alright give me one more story. 1666 01:04:56,960 --> 01:05:01,440 I want to hear something about I heard you over talking earlier you heard some noises 1667 01:05:01,440 --> 01:05:03,960 like 1 30 in the morning when you were coon hunting. 1668 01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:04,960 Give me that story. 1669 01:05:04,960 --> 01:05:12,680 Okay this is kind of a long tune because it's a long story man because it's like it built 1670 01:05:12,680 --> 01:05:16,840 up to a certain region in our neck of the woods. 1671 01:05:16,840 --> 01:05:17,840 Okay. 1672 01:05:17,840 --> 01:05:23,640 So it was it wasn't at 1 30 it was like maybe midnight. 1673 01:05:23,640 --> 01:05:26,160 That's close enough. 1674 01:05:26,160 --> 01:05:31,600 So it was on a Monday night I was hunting and we live like right in the middle of the 1675 01:05:31,600 --> 01:05:37,320 Sumter National Forest so there's a lot of game management land and there's certain 1676 01:05:37,320 --> 01:05:42,360 areas where it kind of gets close towards the town the town of Whitmire like kind of 1677 01:05:42,360 --> 01:05:48,720 outskirt of the roads and we're talking like a small one red light town. 1678 01:05:48,720 --> 01:06:01,960 So I had already turned my female loose and off behind me way over directly to my right 1679 01:06:01,960 --> 01:06:09,260 I heard a lot of just like talking and I knew the road and some of the people that live 1680 01:06:09,260 --> 01:06:16,000 on that paved road and I was like they'd be an awful loud over there on a Monday night 1681 01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:21,720 to be just cutting up like I'm surprised the law hadn't been called right. 1682 01:06:21,720 --> 01:06:27,640 So then a little bit later I hear just like loud talking again but it's a little bit closer 1683 01:06:27,640 --> 01:06:30,760 and I was like that's weird. 1684 01:06:30,760 --> 01:06:37,240 So my dog gets treed and she's on the opposite side of this gravel road and behind me people 1685 01:06:37,240 --> 01:06:40,880 gonna think I'm crazy but I really don't care. 1686 01:06:40,880 --> 01:06:46,480 I thought it was so loud it was loud I was already standing up already had my gun on 1687 01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:53,680 my back because I was getting ready to go into the woods to my dog but she shut up and 1688 01:06:53,680 --> 01:06:57,640 she actually moved she moved about a hundred yards and fell tree I think the coon bailed 1689 01:06:57,640 --> 01:07:01,880 out and she bailed out with it and because she was like hot you know what I'm saying. 1690 01:07:01,880 --> 01:07:11,160 So anyway she shuts up and while she shuts up and I'm listening directly behind me I 1691 01:07:11,160 --> 01:07:22,440 hear this really loud it's like and I'm talking about it is freaking loud and it's like and 1692 01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:26,800 the first thing that came to my mind if anybody wants to know what it sounds like just go 1693 01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:33,280 to the podcast Sasquatch Chronicles and listen to their opening music and you will hear small 1694 01:07:33,280 --> 01:07:40,080 clips of what's called as the Sierra sounds that was recorded. 1695 01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:46,880 I want to say either I don't remember which doctor if it was I can't remember their name 1696 01:07:46,880 --> 01:07:49,960 I don't want to throw one out it's either like Meldrum or something like that I don't 1697 01:07:49,960 --> 01:07:54,440 remember which one recorded it but it sounded a lot like that. 1698 01:07:54,440 --> 01:08:02,720 So I'd world around took my gun off my shoulder and it's standing in between me and it and 1699 01:08:02,720 --> 01:08:08,560 it was really loud and it was a language and but see everything had already been playing 1700 01:08:08,560 --> 01:08:16,360 in my mind because another person that told me some stuff that they went on a YouTube 1701 01:08:16,360 --> 01:08:21,120 channel and talked about called Dark Waters and it was Nick Gilliland. 1702 01:08:21,120 --> 01:08:22,760 Oh yeah yeah yeah. 1703 01:08:22,760 --> 01:08:24,400 He ran the nightlife. 1704 01:08:24,400 --> 01:08:25,400 Coonhuntin channel. 1705 01:08:25,400 --> 01:08:31,080 Yes so he went on there he had already reached out to me earlier when we started doing the 1706 01:08:31,080 --> 01:08:36,360 podcast and to be honest if you ever hear this I kind of want to apologize and I wanted 1707 01:08:36,360 --> 01:08:40,280 him to come on the show and apologize because I thought he was BSing me a little bit. 1708 01:08:40,280 --> 01:08:43,320 Nick's a good dude he's not going to BS you. 1709 01:08:43,320 --> 01:08:50,200 I'm like this dude is telling me about something in my own backyard that I'm like I've never 1710 01:08:50,200 --> 01:08:55,160 ran into anything but then I started putting things together that I had been seeing over 1711 01:08:55,160 --> 01:09:02,400 the past six seven years while hunting odd things like two pine trees that were probably 1712 01:09:02,400 --> 01:09:03,840 how big around would you say that is? 1713 01:09:03,840 --> 01:09:05,320 I'd say four inches. 1714 01:09:05,320 --> 01:09:11,960 Okay were probably eight to ten feet apart in the middle of the woods. 1715 01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:17,800 Now the pines before you dropped off into the oaks but they were about four inches around 1716 01:09:17,800 --> 01:09:21,720 and they were bent over into an arch and hooked limb to limb. 1717 01:09:21,720 --> 01:09:22,720 Really? 1718 01:09:22,720 --> 01:09:26,680 Yeah and I thought my wife just happened to be with she never goes but she was with me 1719 01:09:26,680 --> 01:09:31,920 that night and we walked up and I was like look at this doesn't this look odd? 1720 01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:33,280 I was like what done this? 1721 01:09:33,280 --> 01:09:37,280 I was like didn't no wind do this look at all the rest of these pine trees wind don't 1722 01:09:37,280 --> 01:09:38,280 do that. 1723 01:09:38,280 --> 01:09:39,280 Right. 1724 01:09:39,280 --> 01:09:44,120 And so it was just and I just kind of filed it in my head but when Nick Gilliland told 1725 01:09:44,120 --> 01:09:53,160 me this stuff and then he told me where he was at I was probably about four miles away 1726 01:09:53,160 --> 01:09:58,760 straight line from where I'm pretty sure he was hunting at when he had what he talked 1727 01:09:58,760 --> 01:10:00,160 to Dark Waters about. 1728 01:10:00,160 --> 01:10:01,160 Right. 1729 01:10:01,160 --> 01:10:02,160 So. 1730 01:10:02,160 -->

night I know you're down here hunting that 1750 01:10:58,880 --> 01:11:00,640 little Abbey female. 1751 01:11:00,640 --> 01:11:07,280 It started out great we pulled back in the lane and turned the dogs loose and she struck 1752 01:11:07,280 --> 01:11:14,200 for a hundred slammed a tree sitting pretty good shape and one dog blew through the country 1753 01:11:14,200 --> 01:11:20,600 and got in pretty deep and she was by herself and at a minute thirty six had a dog cover 1754 01:11:20,600 --> 01:11:25,800 but I had that dog shut out on the strike walk in there threw a light in the tree she 1755 01:11:25,800 --> 01:11:32,360 had a coon I'm sitting 225 plus within just literally minutes into this hunt I'm thinking 1756 01:11:32,360 --> 01:11:38,200 this is gonna go good pulled her off that tree we recast the dogs she went down in there 1757 01:11:38,200 --> 01:11:44,980 struck another track come treat on a big old dentry and the other dogs kind of blew the 1758 01:11:44,980 --> 01:11:51,640 country and things were going pretty well and till they weren't. 1759 01:11:51,640 --> 01:11:53,520 They weren't happened. 1760 01:11:53,520 --> 01:11:57,760 Well we I'd made a couple more dentries it just seemed like I couldn't get anything on 1761 01:11:57,760 --> 01:12:02,000 the outside it was pretty wet and there wasn't any real good tracks and I don't know if she 1762 01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:05,920 was just going through there checking trees or what but I mean she made a couple legitimate 1763 01:12:05,920 --> 01:12:13,080 dens and I'm still sitting in pretty good shape we had a we'd spent about an hour and 1764 01:12:13,080 --> 01:12:19,720 hour and 40 minutes I reckon in there and she was sitting with 225 plus Cole Ramey's 1765 01:12:19,720 --> 01:12:27,720 dog was sitting even sitting at zero and the man from George's dog was sitting with 175 1766 01:12:27,720 --> 01:12:33,200 minus he had he took some minus so he's sitting with 175 in the hole and I'm sitting in pretty 1767 01:12:33,200 --> 01:12:40,120 good shape with about 20 minutes left to go in this hunt and we had to get the dogs caught 1768 01:12:40,120 --> 01:12:48,360 called timeout with about 20 minutes left we went to another spot turned the dogs loose 1769 01:12:48,360 --> 01:12:58,920 and the man from George's dog went back to the road was standing at the truck my dog 1770 01:12:58,920 --> 01:13:04,960 actually crossed the road and she wasn't doing anything I don't know what was going on she 1771 01:13:04,960 --> 01:13:09,080 was just standing at the road or standing on the other side of the road and like off 1772 01:13:09,080 --> 01:13:13,280 the ditch there just standing there she wasn't going anywhere wasn't doing anything so the 1773 01:13:13,280 --> 01:13:18,560 guide told us he said listen I've got a I got a hot bucket down here you got y'all can 1774 01:13:18,560 --> 01:13:25,880 if you get these dogs caught I got a hot bucket and I know better with my dog I know better 1775 01:13:25,880 --> 01:13:31,600 she's she she don't she's not the kind of dog you can just walk over and catch but she 1776 01:13:31,600 --> 01:13:35,080 wasn't doing anything so I thought well she's right here I can get her caught so we all 1777 01:13:35,080 --> 01:13:42,240 called timeout Cole got his dog caught the man from Georgia got his dog caught and as 1778 01:13:42,240 --> 01:13:47,200 soon as I went over Abby was within eyesight of me and when I went over to leash her up 1779 01:13:47,200 --> 01:13:51,320 she just turned around and she just booked you know that amazes me because I know how 1780 01:13:51,320 --> 01:13:54,320 much time you spend with her and she rides in the truck and stays in the house and you 1781 01:13:54,320 --> 01:13:58,480 are with her all the time yes sir that amazes me you can't catch her like yes sir now if 1782 01:13:58,480 --> 01:14:03,280 she has a if she has a training collar on I don't have to tone her shock or nothing 1783 01:14:03,280 --> 01:14:07,320 if she's got a training collar on and she knows those problems are on her neck and I 1784 01:14:07,320 --> 01:14:13,360 call her she come a flying but if she don't if she don't have that on she then got your 1785 01:14:13,360 --> 01:14:18,760 number she's gone she's gone she already knows what she's gone and as soon as I tried 1786 01:14:18,760 --> 01:14:24,640 to catch her now to give you all a little background history on this three night well 1787 01:14:24,640 --> 01:14:31,280 it's been middle of the week last week Tuesday night I guess it was she was I hunt her and 1788 01:14:31,280 --> 01:14:36,320 I also run her on a treadmill and I put her on a treadmill I think it was Tuesday night 1789 01:14:36,320 --> 01:14:39,520 or Wednesday night I put her on a treadmill and I could tell it she was off a little bit 1790 01:14:39,520 --> 01:14:44,920 in her front left and I didn't really think a whole lot about it I kind of cut her cut 1791 01:14:44,920 --> 01:14:51,400 her treadmill time a little bit and the next day Sherrilyn called me at work and she said 1792 01:14:51,400 --> 01:14:56,920 hey she said you need to call the vet and have Abby looked at she said she's she's 1793 01:14:56,920 --> 01:15:01,000 three legged she's not wanting to walk on this front left leg at all so I called my 1794 01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:06,040 vet my vet got me in I took her in dropped her off did x-rays did everything nothing 1795 01:15:06,040 --> 01:15:12,940 was broken but she was really sore on her toe right behind her toenail and like super 1796 01:15:12,940 --> 01:15:19,080 sore so my vet gave me some antibiotics and some pain meds and stuff and last couple days 1797 01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:23,480 she seemed like she's been okay so last night you know when when she was standing there 1798 01:15:23,480 --> 01:15:26,880 at the truck I thought maybe she was hurt you know or whatever and I thought well I'll 1799 01:15:26,880 --> 01:15:33,760 just go get her caught well she she got in the country and got about I don't know 400 1800 01:15:33,760 --> 01:15:38,400 450 something like that she got struck and I was trying to get her caught and I got the 1801 01:15:38,400 --> 01:15:43,120 time running on me you know and I'm trying to get her caught and I thought there was 1802 01:15:43,120 --> 01:15:46,840 a couple times I thought she was just gonna come treat in there well she ended up quitting 1803 01:15:46,840 --> 01:15:51,560 whatever that was she was messing around with and she got through the country about 900 1804 01:15:51,560 --> 01:15:55,680 and I popped out the back of this woods and there was this big giant field that looked 1805 01:15:55,680 --> 01:15:59,440 like they'd cut pine trees and it was all rutted up and it was thick and she was on 1806 01:15:59,440 --> 01:16:04,000 the other side of that and I couldn't I couldn't even get across it so I didn't I wouldn't 1807 01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:10,600 even try to get across it so I come back I called Cole and and I talked to him on the 1808 01:16:10,600 --> 01:16:14,240 phone and and he's like hey let's talk to the guy and see if there's a road over there 1809 01:16:14,240 --> 01:16:19,640 so I came back to the truck and I asked the guy if there was a if there was a road over 1810 01:16:19,640 --> 01:16:23,840 there and he looked at my garment he's like yeah I can get you close so we drove down 1811 01:16:23,840 --> 01:16:31,760 around and he did get me closer but by the time she actually got treed the hunt was pretty 1812 01:16:31,760 --> 01:16:38,800 I was I was done at that point and so I got into her shined a tree she had a coon and 1813 01:16:38,800 --> 01:16:45,480 she did a good job on that it was a cypher swamp water about knee-deep I mean I there 1814 01:16:45,480 --> 01:16:51,320 just there was no dry ground in there and so she did a really good job I was aggravated 1815 01:16:51,320 --> 01:16:56,120 I couldn't get her caught I was I was heartbroken I got scratched because I was sitting in a 1816 01:16:56,120 --> 01:17:04,800 I sit in a good position and it was a big gut punch it really was but she had she she 1817 01:17:04,800 --> 01:17:09,360 treated coon in some really bad conditions and she there's no quit and and her heart 1818 01:17:09,360 --> 01:17:13,920 she's got more heart than I think about any dog I've ever hunted so I was proud of her 1819 01:17:13,920 --> 01:17:17,120 even though I didn't win I was proud of her right so I know you're down here hunting with 1820 01:17:17,120 -->

get you on here because you are getting ready to do 1840 01:19:16,600 --> 01:19:19,880 your own podcast and I just want to give you a little time here to tell the world about 1841 01:19:19,880 --> 01:19:22,880 it you know I'm just trying to promote everybody that's doing something good for the sport 1842 01:19:22,880 --> 01:19:27,440 oh yeah throw me the pitch hey we're gonna start a coon hunting media we're gonna kind 1843 01:19:27,440 --> 01:19:32,080 of just looking for another partner to roll in with but uh kind of we're gonna look at 1844 01:19:32,080 --> 01:19:37,200 live events also not as much as like Joy Dolf who does but some of the smaller stuff like 1845 01:19:37,200 --> 01:19:42,800 stuff like 300r pro classics 400r pro classics 500r shootouts right stuff like that some 1846 01:19:42,800 --> 01:19:48,040 people don't see live and not the big events you know what I mean right some of the smaller 1847 01:19:48,040 --> 01:19:52,200 smaller dogs that people can't afford the big entries but also get their spotlight yeah 1848 01:19:52,200 --> 01:19:55,280 that's a good idea I haven't heard of anybody doing that yet and I actually didn't know 1849 01:19:55,280 --> 01:19:58,600 that I thought you were just doing the podcast thing but I think that's a pretty good business 1850 01:19:58,600 --> 01:20:01,400 model yeah we're kind of brainstorming on that right now yeah absolutely that's good 1851 01:20:01,400 --> 01:20:05,500 because there are a lot of guys who don't aren't able to go to the bigger hunts where 1852 01:20:05,500 --> 01:20:09,800 all this stuff is broadcasted but they've got nice dogs oh yeah they do good dog work 1853 01:20:09,800 --> 01:20:13,560 they just ain't got the money to really to back it exactly family and it takes somebody 1854 01:20:13,560 --> 01:20:16,520 to back in a lot of these big dogs a lot of them yeah but for you guys to come out there 1855 01:20:16,520 --> 01:20:20,480 and give them the spotlight yeah I think people that'll go a long way they'll appreciate it 1856 01:20:20,480 --> 01:20:24,600 we're hoping so are you hunting rip down here this weekend yes sir tell me a little bit 1857 01:20:24,600 -->

01:31:21,720 --> 01:31:27,160 full color it's a hundred pages now I mean and I see it going up from there it has to 1985 01:31:27,160 --> 01:31:32,720 right we're getting so much good content from guys and it's just been I don't know it's 1986 01:31:32,720 --> 01:31:37,200 a labor of love but it's really cool because when it closed up it was like everybody's 1987 01:31:37,200 --> 01:31:41,760 grandpa died I mean like the outreach you know and everybody oh it's horrible it's been 1988 01:31:41,760 --> 01:31:45,520 around forever and I'll tell you that's the one thing we've heard since we've been here 1989 01:31:45,520 --> 01:31:50,360 was thank you for keeping it going thank you for bringing it back thank you for doing this 1990 01:31:50,360 --> 01:31:55,920 and really I mean it's humbling it really is humbling so it's been a really great trip 1991 01:31:55,920 --> 01:32:01,120 for us you know we've been flinging shirts and subscriptions and whatever but really 1992 01:32:01,120 --> 01:32:05,940 like the people coming through multi-generationally right you know and they're like oh I remember 1993 01:32:05,940 --> 01:32:11,960 grandpa's and it's it kind of gives you a bigger scale yeah look at things you know 1994 01:32:11,960 --> 01:32:16,800 because in the west coast like this event would blow people's mind we don't have this 1995 01:32:16,800 --> 01:32:20,760 out there right you get 300 people together at a field trial and you're having like a 1996 01:32:20,760 --> 01:32:29,000 big shimmy and you walk out here and it's like oh my god I know we went to dinner Thursday 1997 01:32:29,000 --> 01:32:34,100 night they announced the Purina winners and account or the Chamber of Commerce put on 1998 01:32:34,100 --> 01:32:39,440 dinner and all that and we were thinking man this has got to bring in a ton of money for 1999 01:32:39,440 --> 01:32:44,240 this area they got billboards I mean and in your world it's no big deal like you and I'm 2000 01:32:44,240 --> 01:32:48,840 sure a lot of your listeners like this is everyday living for the West Coasters this 2001 01:32:48,840 --> 01:32:52,720 is not and I don't know how many West Coasters would even come out here you know I wonder 2002 01:32:52,720 --> 01:32:57,640 like other than I mean obviously you're the far extreme and you you're probably like the 2003 01:32:57,640 --> 01:33:02,140 outlier in the group but I wonder like where the demographic stops like do they are they 2004 01:33:02,140 --> 01:33:05,480 coming from Missouri are they coming like where are they coming to get all the way to 2005 01:33:05,480 --> 01:33:09,960 South Carolina you'd be surprised because I know like I got buddies in California that 2006 01:33:09,960 --> 01:33:14,960 drive back every year for the trig nationals or you know you got guys that come out automobiles 2007 01:33:14,960 --> 01:33:19,960 obviously is the big one everybody talks about but this correct me if I'm wrong this seems 2008 01:33:19,960 --> 01:33:24,880 bigger it is so in my in my opinion I think this has more foot traffic than automobiles 2009 01:33:24,880 --> 01:33:28,120 because you're not just dealing with the coon hands where automobiles is primarily a coon 2010 01:33:28,120 --> 01:33:32,340 hand specific event right you've got guys coming here that are running deer dogs hog 2011 01:33:32,340 --> 01:33:37,800 dogs coon rabbit it is you've got all different types of hound hunters in here which is what 2012 01:33:37,800 --> 01:33:42,880 simple dogging is all about people who are always dogging in all types of hounds so we 2013 01:33:42,880 --> 01:33:47,280 really appreciate you bringing full cry back because you guys are kind of specific to the 2014 01:33:47,280 --> 01:33:52,400 tree dogs correct with full cry yep but you're kind of keeping it old school it's retro we're 2015 01:33:52,400 --> 01:33:57,480 bringing the retro to us I mean that's what kept it around I mean back in the day this 2016 01:33:57,480 --> 01:34:03,040 thing had 30,000 subscribers and when we took it over I mean it was obviously substantially 2017 01:34:03,040 --> 01:34:07,400 less than that but you know we've doubled our subscriber base in the last six months 2018 01:34:07,400 --> 01:34:12,240 that's amazing and it's been I mean this was a great trip for us we met a lot of our advertisers 2019 01:34:12,240 --> 01:34:18,840 you know and putting faces to names is nice for me yeah but it's I like the old school 2020 01:34:18,840 --> 01:34:26,200 I'm an old soul man right I want trucker hats and aviators I love it but I know that you 2021 01:34:26,200 --> 01:34:30,040 know listeners can go if they're a member of patreon through houndsman XP they're getting 2022 01:34:30,040 --> 01:34:34,720 a
