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
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:01,980
I'm your host, Bryce Matthews.

16
00:01:01,980 --> 00:01:04,880
And I'm your cohost, Stephen Basham.

17
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:16,880
And this, this is Simper Doggin.

18
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:22,280
Welcome welcome welcome back to another episode of the Simper Doggin podcast guys.

19
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:28,560
I am your host, Bryce Matthews, and on this episode we are going to recap our trip down

20
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:33,360
to Batesville, Mississippi where your cohost, Stephen Basham and I took a trip down there

21
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,680
to hang out at the Winter Classic event.

22
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:41,080
We got to hang out a lot, a lot of cool people down there, met some really great folks and

23
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,680
we recorded a few good interviews for you guys.

24
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,360
So we've got people that were hunting in the hunt down there.

25
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,560
We've got a couple of ladies who showed in the show.

26
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:55,120
We even have an interview with another podcast host who I'm sure you will recognize once

27
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:56,120
you hear him.

28
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:57,480
So I'm not going to spoil that for you.

29
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:01,520
I'm going to let you tune in here, listen to who that is because he's got a great story

30
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:02,520
to tell you.

31
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,960
And that was another great thing about this event down there at the Winter Classic where

32
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:12,440
we went to is it was all about telling stories, preserving and promoting our heritage of coon

33
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:13,440
hunting.

34
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:14,440
It was an awesome event.

35
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:15,660
And like I said, we just met some really great people.

36
00:02:15,660 --> 00:02:18,200
So I hope you guys enjoy this episode.

37
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:19,920
We enjoyed making it for you guys.

38
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:23,320
We really enjoyed our trip and thank you to everybody who helped contribute to this one.

39
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,920
So without further ado, we'll get rolling.

40
00:02:26,920 --> 00:02:30,080
Hey buddy.

41
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:36,360
How are you doing today?

42
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,600
Oh, I'm doing fine.

43
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:49,480
Boys just rolled in actually.

44
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:50,480
I just rolled in.

45
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:51,480
Yeah, I just got here.

46
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,240
How long did it take you to get down here?

47
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:54,240
From Sheffieldville, Kentucky.

48
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,840
It was about a six and a half hour drive.

49
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:57,840
Yeah.

50
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,480
I came from Elizabeth town right after I got off work yesterday.

51
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,380
And so it was about about six hours, about six hours.

52
00:03:05,380 --> 00:03:07,000
So they actually let you out of that place.

53
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,000
Yeah.

54
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,920
Finally got away from all my patients and getting to do a little coon hunting finally.

55
00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:12,920
Finally.

56
00:03:12,920 --> 00:03:13,920
The coon hunting doctor.

57
00:03:13,920 --> 00:03:14,920
Yes, sir.

58
00:03:14,920 --> 00:03:16,640
The coon hunting doctor.

59
00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:22,000
Ladies and gentlemen, I am going to let him introduce himself because I will butcher everything

60
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,780
that he actually does.

61
00:03:24,780 --> 00:03:29,380
He was walking by and we just kind of conned him into sitting down and doing a podcast.

62
00:03:29,380 --> 00:03:31,600
He is a very interesting fella.

63
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:37,040
I've known him for quite a while during quite a bit of times and always had a very good

64
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,360
time, very good sportsman.

65
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:41,360
Go ahead.

66
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:42,360
Thank you.

67
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:43,360
Yeah.

68
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:50,200
I've been coon hunting for about 20 years and practicing medicine for about 10.

69
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,760
So what are you into the medicine side of things?

70
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:53,960
So actually pediatrics.

71
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:58,800
So did my medical school at the University of Louisville.

72
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:05,360
And after I graduated, did my residency at Norton Children's downtown Louisville.

73
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:12,280
And once I finished residency, I started practicing with my dad actually for a couple of years.

74
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:17,680
But now I am the sole pediatrician out in Shepardsville, Kentucky.

75
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,120
And do a little hospital work still.

76
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:21,120
Yes, sir.

77
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:22,120
Yes, sir.

78
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:23,360
I've known me and this guy here.

79
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,320
We've known each other for a long time.

80
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:26,320
Heck, man.

81
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,520
Well, out of Tell City.

82
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:29,520
Yep.

83
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,520
Back when we were young guns.

84
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:32,520
Yeah.

85
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,400
And I was still in college and medical school.

86
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:41,400
And I said, man, I'd be up 24 hours and then from the hospital come over, start coon hunting.

87
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:42,400
Yeah.

88
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,120
We got a little gray in our beards now, bud.

89
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:45,120
I do.

90
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:46,120
Yeah.

91
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:47,120
Both of us.

92
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:48,120
I mean, we get up there now.

93
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:49,120
I know.

94
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:50,120
I know.

95
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:51,320
But many years, many years.

96
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,520
But yeah, always a good time.

97
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,280
What kind of dogs you hunting now?

98
00:04:55,280 --> 00:04:58,320
Still got my blue ticks right now.

99
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:04,840
Unfortunately, the dog that we were promoting a lot, Brockman's blue buzz, he passed away

100
00:05:04,840 --> 00:05:05,840
last year, unfortunately.

101
00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:07,200
Sorry to hear about that.

102
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:08,200
Yeah, I appreciate it.

103
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:09,640
Just kind of one of those things.

104
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:14,920
He got sick and he was in ICU for about a week and kidney shut down.

105
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,120
And that's all she wrote, unfortunately.

106
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:18,680
But we're lucky.

107
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:23,000
We've got about 78 pups on the ground out of him and some semen.

108
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:29,360
And I'm hunting a young dog right now that turned two in October that we named the buzz

109
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,360
cut and we're liking him pretty good.

110
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,400
He's out of a female, out of butch glasses stock.

111
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:36,400
Yep.

112
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:37,400
Oh, butch.

113
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:38,400
So you know, butch.

114
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:39,400
Yeah.

115
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:44,280
And that female also passed away shortly after that litter was born.

116
00:05:44,280 --> 00:05:45,800
But I've really enjoyed him.

117
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,080
He hunts a lot like Buzz.

118
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,920
He's good about having a coon loud.

119
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:56,360
He chops on the tree a little bit more than Buzz did, but he's loud and he gets gone and

120
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:57,760
he goes hunting quick and fast.

121
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,240
So I enjoy hunting him.

122
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,120
And this will be his first time in a cast.

123
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:03,120
So we'll see.

124
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:04,120
Oh, wow.

125
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,440
You're breaking him out for the big hunt.

126
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:11,520
I said when I got him from a friend of ours, I said I'm going to not push him too hard

127
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:16,080
right off the bat and not get too excited, but I do like him.

128
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:21,400
So how do you find the fine line between being a doctor and a coon hunter?

129
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,840
I try to make sure that I do get a little bit of sleep.

130
00:06:24,840 --> 00:06:29,200
And if my patients start telling me I look tired, I might take the day off and I take

131
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:30,460
the night off.

132
00:06:30,460 --> 00:06:39,480
But I enjoy both of them so much that I can't say it's easy to do, but it keeps me going.

133
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:44,240
So this winter classic, though, it really does seem to tailor more to the blue ticks

134
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:45,600
and the black and tans.

135
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,000
Have you had success down here before?

136
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,720
Yeah, we were talking on the way down here.

137
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:57,360
I don't want to jinx myself for this weekend, but I think I'm batting 80% right now on cast

138
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:58,360
wins down here.

139
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,520
I have a nice female, Ivy.

140
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,040
You might have heard of the Crowder dog.

141
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:04,960
He's got a little winning.

142
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:06,040
That's his mama.

143
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:10,800
And she's two, three years ago had double cast wins down here.

144
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,480
And it does play to their advantage.

145
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,780
Big open woods and a little swampy and a good time of year for those little

146
00:07:17,780 --> 00:07:21,640
A little nasty, a little grit.

147
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,560
I actually just saw Travis Dill walking around here a few minutes ago.

148
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:25,560
I think he's hunting a cow.

149
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,920
Yeah, so you're hunting down here?

150
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:28,920
Good deal.

151
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:29,920
All right.

152
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:34,120
Well, what else you got, Basin?

153
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:35,120
Not much.

154
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,760
Like I said, just wanted to bring him in here.

155
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,080
He's been a good friend of mine.

156
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:44,800
We've hunted a lot, drew each other a lot out of Tell City and Cherry Tree and different

157
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:45,880
places.

158
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,000
I kind of grew up right in the middle of him.

159
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:53,080
And like I said, just we we've bounced heads between these casts and always had a good

160
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,560
time, always a good sportsman, always carrying a good blue dog.

161
00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:01,000
But there is if there is such thing, you know, I told him one time, I said, man, with that

162
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:05,200
little gray hair, you would think a little wisdom would come and switch over to the white

163
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:06,200
and the black.

164
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:07,200
They're never going to learn.

165
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,560
I knew I should have come on here.

166
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:14,820
See now we man, me and him, we go at it all the time.

167
00:08:14,820 --> 00:08:16,200
It's all in good fun.

168
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:17,200
It's all in good fun.

169
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:18,200
It's all about dog.

170
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:19,200
It's all about the dogs.

171
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:20,200
Real quick.

172
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:21,200
What got you?

173
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:22,200
I mean, I've heard the story.

174
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,800
Me and you've talked, but tell the listeners what kind of got you into coon hunting.

175
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:26,800
Yeah.

176
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:31,160
So, you know, we've got family pictures all the way back to when I first started taking

177
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,200
pictures of family members with dogs, coon dogs, beagles, whatever.

178
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:38,920
And then growing up was going a few times and we had beagles.

179
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:45,600
But once I was in college, I really miss being in the woods with a dog and realized all I

180
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:46,600
have was the night.

181
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,800
I went down, drove down to Alabama one random day and picked up a blue tick puppy.

182
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,120
And that's all she wrote.

183
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,200
No, it was he was singing the blues all the way.

184
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:56,200
I reckon so.

185
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,280
But I have a similar story.

186
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,960
Like the first dog I got was just happenstance and it was a walker dog.

187
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:02,600
Like that's the first one.

188
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,280
It's not like I was shopping for a certain breed.

189
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:06,280
I don't know.

190
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,280
So now I'm stuck hunting walkers, you know, but it's interesting.

191
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,400
So well, Mr. Mark, thank you for sitting down.

192
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:12,400
Thank you very much.

193
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:13,960
I appreciate you taking some time and good luck tonight.

194
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:14,960
Yeah.

195
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:15,960
Good luck to you guys.

196
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:16,960
Thank you.

197
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:40,480
We have Mr. Caleb Griffin joining us this afternoon.

198
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:45,840
We saw him walking by, conding down to sit in the chair and we got him on the podcast.

199
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,960
Yeah, we've had him before in the deep alone that you guys heard him there, but we got

200
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:50,320
him now for Semper dogging.

201
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:51,320
What is that brother?

202
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:52,320
What's up you guys?

203
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:53,720
How are y'all doing?

204
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:54,720
Pretty good.

205
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,800
But how about yourself living the dream and loving this Delta life out here?

206
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,680
You're going to come down here and try to sweep the weekend.

207
00:10:01,680 --> 00:10:06,480
I'm going to come down here and try to play with a dog that's on social security.

208
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,480
Who'd you bring?

209
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,480
Oh, of course.

210
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,960
Now I've been seeing this little puppy yours.

211
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:14,960
It's rocking and rolling.

212
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:15,960
I ain't you break him out.

213
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:20,280
Dude, he'll come out about two years about sophomore super stakes be about his first

214
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,680
real hunt.

215
00:10:22,680 --> 00:10:27,840
Always nervous about hunting me, especially in your other stuff.

216
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:33,920
So about that registered cast is a little dangerous for a pup.

217
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,800
Oh my gosh.

218
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,680
Well, when did you come down?

219
00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:38,680
You've been down here all week?

220
00:10:38,680 --> 00:10:43,640
Tuesday, Tuesday we got down here and we just kind of been chilling and eating at the Como

221
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,120
steakhouse.

222
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:46,720
Oh my lord, that place is amazing.

223
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,160
I ain't had it yet.

224
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:49,160
You gotta go.

225
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:50,160
What do they got?

226
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:51,160
What's the best thing on the menu?

227
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:52,160
20 ounce ribeye.

228
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:53,160
Come on.

229
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:54,160
Come on.

230
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:55,160
Best steak you'll ever eat in your life.

231
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:56,160
Oh, here we go.

232
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:57,160
Here we go.

233
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:58,160
What's the place called?

234
00:10:58,160 --> 00:10:59,160
Como.

235
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,560
I think I saw post Mr. Steve Fielder was eating there last night.

236
00:11:01,560 --> 00:11:02,560
He was.

237
00:11:02,560 --> 00:11:04,480
It was like 30 minutes from here, right up 55.

238
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:05,480
This is amazing.

239
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,480
Best thing I've ever eaten in my life.

240
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:08,480
Oh, well.

241
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:09,480
Two nights in a row.

242
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:10,480
He said two nights in a row.

243
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:11,480
Two nights in a row.

244
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,760
Two nights in a row.

245
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:18,880
And guys, for those of you that don't know, Caleb likes to eat.

246
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:19,880
I do.

247
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:24,560
Nice little 40 pound gain in two years like an elf.

248
00:11:24,560 --> 00:11:25,560
Oh man.

249
00:11:25,560 --> 00:11:31,120
Well, when you got a dog like preacher that just treason as he comes to them and just makes

250
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:35,480
everybody else kind of look dumb, you know, you don't have that problem as far as walking.

251
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:40,200
No, but whenever he, when he moves it like five mile an hour and he's real slow, I don't

252
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:41,800
get much, much exercise.

253
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,000
I just kind of truffle on through the woods.

254
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,240
I want to hear more about this pup.

255
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:50,120
I want to tell me about the situation you had a couple of weeks ago when we're supposed

256
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:51,120
to meet up at Grand American.

257
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:52,120
Right.

258
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,800
Um, I, you know, I went to Arkansas on the white river.

259
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,600
I came back from the white river and it was getting around, around Orangeburg time and

260
00:11:58,600 --> 00:11:59,600
he started getting sick.

261
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:04,440
And so I took him to the vet and they tested positive for parvo at seven and a half months

262
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:05,440
old, which blew my mind.

263
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,880
I've never had a dog in my life have parvo.

264
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:12,520
And I took him at six, nine, 12 and again at 16 weeks old for the booster shots.

265
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,960
And then here he goes seven and a half months later, he gets sick.

266
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:17,960
And man, I thought I was going to dig a hole.

267
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,240
I've never seen a dog get that sick that fast in my life.

268
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:25,800
And like that, I'll let, he stayed at the vet on from Monday to Friday.

269
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,640
And when the Friday, when I got him home, like his head was just, there was no life

270
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:30,640
to it.

271
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,880
Like I started force feeding him chicken and rice, honey, just concoctions, everything

272
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:39,320
like that, keeping IVs in him and Pedialyte and right around Sunday started eating on

273
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,040
his own and then took about a week and a half for him to eat dry food.

274
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:43,920
But he, he perked right back up.

275
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,880
I let him, I laid him up for like two and a half, three weeks and then he hit the ground

276
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,360
running and we've been running deer and skunks and possums.

277
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,240
So little pup definitely got some heart.

278
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:54,240
He does.

279
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:55,240
He does.

280
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:56,240
And that's a big sign for me and everything like that.

281
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:57,600
And I was like, well, he's tougher than I thought he was.

282
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:58,600
Yeah.

283
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,720
Cause you and I are supposed to meet up down there at grand American and do a little hunting

284
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:01,720
and just hanging out.

285
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,560
And you'd text me that and you said, man, I don't know if I'm going to make it or not.

286
00:13:04,560 --> 00:13:08,480
And obviously I mean that pup is way more important, but I was, I was a little upset

287
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:09,480
that I was like, man, I was too man.

288
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,480
We had this planned out from the time we recorded those runs deep and lonely.

289
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,720
Well, you know, it's bad cause I'm a resident soccer line.

290
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,480
I've never hunted a grand American.

291
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,200
I've always hunted the St. George PKC hunt right around that time.

292
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:20,960
And I was, I've never hunted the grand American.

293
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,280
I was like, well, you know, this is my, I'm a hunting winter classic, automobiles, all

294
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:25,280
that stuff.

295
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:26,280
And then my pup gets sick.

296
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,840
I was like, well, my priority was with my pups.

297
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:29,840
No, absolutely.

298
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:35,320
Well, we know one hunt guys that he's never ever going to miss.

299
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:39,000
And that's because he's had a string of good luck at that hunt.

300
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,480
And that's a tournament of champions.

301
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,480
Well, here we go with the jeans.

302
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,320
You heard it here on Superdog.

303
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,280
Mr. Basher already jinxed it.

304
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:49,280
Yeah.

305
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:50,560
Where are you entered at this year?

306
00:13:50,560 --> 00:13:54,400
I was going, I hadn't entered yet, but I'm planning on hitting man in South Carolina.

307
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:55,400
Gotcha.

308
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:56,400
Got you.

309
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:57,760
I got entered up in the grains the other day.

310
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:58,760
Word.

311
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:00,560
I'm going to break out old wheels again.

312
00:14:00,560 --> 00:14:02,040
I'm going to swim with alligators.

313
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:03,040
Oh, well, yeah.

314
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,360
Nice little April middle of mid March, April.

315
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:07,920
So how old is preacher now?

316
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:08,920
Six, seven, eight.

317
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:09,920
Oh, boy.

318
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:10,920
You still got all kinds of life left.

319
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:11,920
You know, I don't get told.

320
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:12,920
It gets old.

321
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:13,920
You know what?

322
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:22,440
I'd rather have a pup running deer every night and me laid up and hunt a dog that I expect

323
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:27,520
more like more like a machine than I was explaining it the other day about the difference between

324
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:33,480
a dog that you've hunted and one with versus a younger dog.

325
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,040
And I explained it like this.

326
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:36,920
The ball is just dirty.

327
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,120
You know how you get that basketball and you're playing ball and then all of a sudden the

328
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:41,120
ball just gets dirty.

329
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:42,920
It just, you know, I don't know.

330
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:43,920
It's dull.

331
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:44,920
It's not shiny anymore.

332
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:45,920
I'm the complete opposite.

333
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:47,400
And then and then what do you want?

334
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:48,400
You want a new ball?

335
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:49,400
I want a new ball.

336
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:50,400
I want a new ball.

337
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,000
I want something I could tweak and work with.

338
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,000
Yes.

339
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,080
When you see the heart of a pup just coming out and you just know that pup when it starts

340
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,280
getting dark he's just barking, barking, barking in the kennel ready to go.

341
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:03,760
You get him out and you turn him loose and he's just trying to run anything in the woods,

342
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,000
you know, hunting 11 mile an hour just flying.

343
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:13,400
See in my personal opinion, success doesn't bring if all you have is success, it doesn't

344
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:14,400
bring the enjoyment.

345
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:15,400
You don't have any humbleness.

346
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:16,880
You don't have any, you don't appreciate it.

347
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:17,880
Exactly.

348
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:18,880
See I'm upset.

349
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:19,880
I'm shutting you down.

350
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:20,880
I'm opposite.

351
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:21,880
I like all faithful.

352
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,680
I like to go out in the woods because I'm working, I'm working, working, working.

353
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:25,680
I want to go home.

354
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,120
I want to pull him out of the kennel.

355
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,560
I want to go tree a couple coons and I'm not saying that you're going to find success on

356
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:31,560
the highest level.

357
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:32,560
Yeah.

358
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,120
I mean, but give me that geriatric dog.

359
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:35,120
That's my man.

360
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:41,240
You know, I've been riding this ride for four years, five years with this dog and I'm, you

361
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:46,640
know, like I said, I get expecting more of a lot of a machine than a dog.

362
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:47,640
Exactly.

363
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:48,640
I keep it to say.

364
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:49,640
Exactly.

365
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,680
That's why I haven't hunted, I've hunted him four times since November.

366
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:59,360
Well, not only that, when you have the success that you've had, the problem is, is your expectations

367
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,400
go higher and higher and higher.

368
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:07,000
So your failure rate becomes more and more and more.

369
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:12,480
And so when he's not at his hundred percent all the time, it makes you upset.

370
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:13,480
That's right.

371
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,440
Whereas with a pup, you don't expect nothing.

372
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:16,680
Expecting failure.

373
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:21,760
So when you get that one thing, oh man, he came to me when I called him.

374
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:22,760
Yes.

375
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:23,760
You know, you get that.

376
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:28,760
I was so happy to know about this dog and cheeseburger.

377
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:33,400
I was like, yes, I would have not.

378
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:34,400
I didn't have to shock him off.

379
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:38,760
He's getting a double cheeseburger.

380
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,640
It's the small things in life guys.

381
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,520
The higher your expectations, the more you are to fail.

382
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:49,320
I mean, you look at the guys that put time into this sport, you know, the guys that run

383
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:50,320
up and down this road.

384
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:51,320
I mean, look at all these guys.

385
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,760
They had 155 dogs last night.

386
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:59,960
So the guys that put time in their heart into this, not everybody's going to win.

387
00:16:59,960 --> 00:17:03,720
And the best dog doesn't always win.

388
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,400
It doesn't matter.

389
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,600
You know, people think, oh, well, the dog that treats the most coons is always going

390
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:09,600
to win.

391
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,320
It's not how it always happens.

392
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:17,120
And so you get this standard that you have for preacher in your head.

393
00:17:17,120 --> 00:17:21,520
And when he doesn't meet that standard, you go back to the hotel room, you know, singing

394
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:22,520
the blues.

395
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,480
And preacher's still probably eating a double cheeseburger.

396
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:30,240
He's over here singing the blues, whereas the pup, all he's got to do is just not mess

397
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,760
with the armadillo and he gets a damn cheeseburger.

398
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:39,440
I was talking to someone the other night, I was like, you know, you could take, in my

399
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:44,160
opinion, I could be wrong, but I think you could take a final four of any big hunt and

400
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,640
you hunt it five different nights, three others, five nights.

401
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:47,800
I'd say you'd have a different winner.

402
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,120
I'd agree with that statement.

403
00:17:49,120 --> 00:17:50,120
Yep.

404
00:17:50,120 --> 00:17:54,240
I mean, it's just like you said last evening, the better dog does not always win, but you

405
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:59,560
can't as a handler and an owner, you can't let that get you down to thinking my dog sucks

406
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,680
because all year long I'm on an up and down roller coaster.

407
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,840
Like sometimes I'm sometimes he's doing good and sometimes I'm on a losing streak.

408
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:07,840
Sometimes I'm on a winning streak.

409
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,120
Sometimes I'm on a losing streak.

410
00:18:10,120 --> 00:18:13,880
If you're going to do this, you're going to have to take your losses and it sucks.

411
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:20,280
It's kind of like what I told Tiffany Atkins, and this is kind of off subject a little bit,

412
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:24,300
but it goes right into it as far as like the show dogs, you know, you're not always going

413
00:18:24,300 --> 00:18:25,360
to win.

414
00:18:25,360 --> 00:18:30,280
If you don't enjoy the ride to get to where you're going, if you don't, you know, it's

415
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,780
kind of like a NBA basketball player.

416
00:18:33,780 --> 00:18:38,840
When he stops enjoying the workouts, when he stops enjoying the practices, that's when

417
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:39,840
they retire.

418
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:40,840
That's exactly right.

419
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,100
It's not, you don't ever get tired of the games.

420
00:18:44,100 --> 00:18:46,960
We don't ever get tired of training raccoons.

421
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:54,160
We don't ever get tired of coming to a competition hunt and competing where you end up losing

422
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,040
that interest is the training.

423
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:02,840
It's the every night going out there, dogging every night, slaying in the mud, staying out

424
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:04,040
at all hours of the night.

425
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,840
Well, it's like us, like we competition hunt.

426
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:10,240
Where I'm from back home, a lot of people, when it gets summertime, they lay their dogs

427
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:11,240
up.

428
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:15,360
So when it gets season and opening around October, they hit the ground run, they're

429
00:19:15,360 --> 00:19:16,360
excited.

430
00:19:16,360 --> 00:19:18,260
We've been ground pounding all summer every night.

431
00:19:18,260 --> 00:19:19,480
So it's just another day to us.

432
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,880
And I'm like, ah, yeah, I don't feel like doing this, but I got to go do it.

433
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:30,680
Cause I almost feel it's like, I've been a couple of years, but back like in a gym workout.

434
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:31,680
Hold on.

435
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:32,680
I'm serious.

436
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:36,400
I know where you can get a pair.

437
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:37,400
Froggy bottom outdoors.

438
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,600
Froggy bottom outdoors can hook you up.

439
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:43,840
Like in a gym, you get used to going to the gym every night.

440
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:45,000
So you do it for a month.

441
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,120
You skip a night or two.

442
00:19:46,120 --> 00:19:47,120
You just feel like crap.

443
00:19:47,120 --> 00:19:48,120
Like, I'm worthless.

444
00:19:48,120 --> 00:19:49,120
I'm a piece of crap.

445
00:19:49,120 --> 00:19:50,120
So you got, well, it's like hunting.

446
00:19:50,120 --> 00:19:51,120
You're like, you get out there.

447
00:19:51,120 --> 00:19:52,120
I'm like, I'm not hunting tonight.

448
00:19:52,120 --> 00:19:58,120
And you hear the dogs start barking in the kennel at night and you're like, well, damn.

449
00:19:58,120 --> 00:20:00,500
Guess I'll go.

450
00:20:00,500 --> 00:20:04,880
The champ asked me one night, which for any of those of you that don't know, the champ

451
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:05,880
is my daughter.

452
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,080
She asked me, uh, you going hunting tonight, dad?

453
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:12,160
And I said, baby, I do not want to go hunting tonight.

454
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,560
Guess what happened when that son was starting to go down?

455
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:15,800
I started putting on my boots.

456
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,640
She goes, daddy, I thought you didn't want to go hunting.

457
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:24,080
I said, baby, I said, if I want to expect those dogs to do what I want them to do on

458
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,440
game day, I got to take them when I don't want to go.

459
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:28,440
Right.

460
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:32,040
I don't want to expect them to perform when they're sitting in the kennel.

461
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:33,120
No, no.

462
00:20:33,120 --> 00:20:36,000
So even when you don't want to, we drag each other out.

463
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,480
Uh, it, it almost becomes our addiction.

464
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:39,480
Oh boy.

465
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:40,480
And here we go.

466
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,480
It's kind of like, like a preacher.

467
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:47,340
Like I haven't hunted him maybe four times since November.

468
00:20:47,340 --> 00:20:50,920
One of them was RQE last weekend that he slick treat on.

469
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:52,480
I don't want coming into this one.

470
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,720
I was like, well, you know, if I get beaten out, it's okay.

471
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:55,800
My dog's not prepared for it.

472
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,200
I haven't done my homework and I'm okay with that.

473
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,680
Sometimes I got this way with buddy.

474
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,560
Sometimes I would lay him up on purpose.

475
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:05,560
Makes him look better.

476
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:10,480
So not only that, but so that if I lost, at least I had an excuse.

477
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:11,480
Thank you.

478
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:12,480
Thank you.

479
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:13,480
You know what?

480
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:14,480
You know what?

481
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:21,560
At least then I can have an excuse on why I thought he lost.

482
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:22,560
It's not his fault.

483
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:28,520
Oh boy.

484
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:29,720
All right.

485
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:33,800
This train is getting derailed quick and in a hurry.

486
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,360
You knew when you brought Caleb over here, this was going to happen.

487
00:21:36,360 --> 00:21:37,360
I know he called me earlier.

488
00:21:37,360 --> 00:21:38,360
He said, he said, you down here?

489
00:21:38,360 --> 00:21:39,360
I said, absolutely.

490
00:21:39,360 --> 00:21:40,360
He's how come find you?

491
00:21:40,360 --> 00:21:42,400
And sure enough, here he comes sliding in.

492
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,720
Welcome to the world of the Marines.

493
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,480
Oh, you took it.

494
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,840
Go on for hours.

495
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:54,120
We definitely will definitely have to get him scheduled for a full time podcast.

496
00:21:54,120 --> 00:21:55,120
Absolutely.

497
00:21:55,120 --> 00:21:56,120
Sweetness.

498
00:21:56,120 --> 00:21:57,120
Definitely.

499
00:21:57,120 --> 00:21:58,120
Love it dude.

500
00:21:58,120 --> 00:21:59,120
I love getting him.

501
00:21:59,120 --> 00:22:00,120
I appreciate you.

502
00:22:00,120 --> 00:22:01,120
You guys are awesome man.

503
00:22:01,120 --> 00:22:02,120
I love y'all.

504
00:22:02,120 --> 00:22:03,120
It's always a pleasure, buddy.

505
00:22:03,120 --> 00:22:04,120
It's always a pleasure.

506
00:22:04,120 --> 00:22:05,120
All right, Kevin.

507
00:22:05,120 --> 00:22:06,120
Thank you, buddy.

508
00:22:06,120 --> 00:22:07,120
Good luck tonight.

509
00:22:07,120 --> 00:22:08,120
Thank you, brother.

510
00:22:08,120 --> 00:22:09,120
I appreciate it.

511
00:22:09,120 --> 00:22:28,440
All right, guys, we are back here.

512
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:32,300
Day number two winter classic down here in Batesville, Mississippi.

513
00:22:32,300 --> 00:22:36,200
And we have got one of the busiest guys around to sit down with us for just a few seconds.

514
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:37,680
Mr. Michael Roseman with Sun Spotlights.

515
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:38,840
How you doing this morning, Michael?

516
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:39,840
I'm doing fine.

517
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:40,840
How are you?

518
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:41,840
Not too bad at all.

519
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,320
Hey, I want to sit down here and just talk a little bit about your new light you got

520
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:45,320
out.

521
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,440
You guys just released that Copperhead light and I've been a faithful user of Sun Spotlights

522
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,800
for years and I really, really enjoy that light and the product that you make.

523
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,360
So why don't you tell our listeners a little bit more about your newest product line.

524
00:22:54,360 --> 00:22:55,360
I appreciate you.

525
00:22:55,360 --> 00:22:57,520
I appreciate you using it.

526
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:06,920
That newest Copperhead is kind of a combination of our Sniper, our Viper and our Rage light.

527
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,280
Kind of combines everything that's the best of each one.

528
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,240
Takes away the kind of little stuff that we didn't like.

529
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,680
We got brighter, we got lighter and it's pretty slick looking too.

530
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:17,680
Yeah, it is.

531
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,960
I got a couple in the other day for our new store, Froggy Bottom Outdoors, where you guys

532
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:22,760
can go online and find those lights right now.

533
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,520
And man, when I got that shipment in of them, I was like, man, these are impressive.

534
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:26,920
Like the battery pack's slimmer.

535
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,000
The head was designed just a little bit differently.

536
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:30,000
It's balanced well.

537
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:31,200
I was really impressed with the light.

538
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:37,960
But we were able to keep our burn times, our battery life, and really what we did was just

539
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:39,480
make a smaller battery pack.

540
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,120
It's just a little tighter in there.

541
00:23:41,120 --> 00:23:43,240
Still plenty of room.

542
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,760
Same burn times and everything though, and it looks better.

543
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:46,760
Right.

544
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,240
So I know yesterday I swung by just to chat with you for just a second.

545
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,600
I saw an old belt light looking deal over there and it was a much bigger box.

546
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:56,800
You know, I told you that I had a couple people ask me like, hey, are we able to get that

547
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,360
much more burn time out of a bigger box and a bigger battery?

548
00:23:59,360 --> 00:24:01,640
And you'd kind of explain that no, that's not really the case.

549
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,280
Can you go into depth a little bit about that?

550
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,480
Well no, you can get more burn time with a bigger battery.

551
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:12,600
The issue is with lithium ion batteries is the more batteries there are, the easier it

552
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,080
is to get them out of balance.

553
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,800
With the old nickel-cadium and stuff, they'd go out of balance.

554
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,000
The pack would still work.

555
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,920
It would be a little weaker.

556
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:25,420
With a protection circuit on a lithium ion battery, if it gets out of balance, it shuts

557
00:24:25,420 --> 00:24:27,200
your whole pack down.

558
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:31,600
The more batteries there are, the bigger chance there are of having that issue.

559
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,800
So we just kind of steered away from that.

560
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:40,160
On the Copperhead, we even went one less battery, different type of battery that had more milliamps.

561
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:45,000
So it's actually a little stronger battery than what we've been using, but in a smaller

562
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:46,000
package.

563
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:50,400
And I like the idea of two batteries rather than three or four.

564
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,000
It's just we have a lifetime warranty.

565
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:53,700
I have to warranty these things.

566
00:24:53,700 --> 00:24:58,440
We've got guys that have sent lights in 15 years old and they get replaced for $10 in

567
00:24:58,440 --> 00:24:59,520
return shipping.

568
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,960
So the less problems I have, the easier it is for me in the long run.

569
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:04,880
Yeah, you absolutely cannot beat that, guys.

570
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,040
I mean, that's one of the reasons why whenever I first got a sunspot light years ago, that's

571
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,280
what one of the drawing points for me, one of the sun factors, was the lifetime warranty.

572
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,400
Because a lot of other lights are offering two-year warranty, three-year warranty, and

573
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,960
you are a lifetime warranty, pay your $10 shipping fee to get it there, and you get

574
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:19,120
it fixed and get it back.

575
00:25:19,120 --> 00:25:20,120
Yep, that's it.

576
00:25:20,120 --> 00:25:21,780
And we didn't start out like that.

577
00:25:21,780 --> 00:25:25,780
We started with a two-year warranty like everyone else had.

578
00:25:25,780 --> 00:25:31,360
The more I got the lights in though, the way it works is none of the parts are very expensive,

579
00:25:31,360 --> 00:25:33,840
the ones that would normally break.

580
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,520
So it doesn't cost a lot to fix them.

581
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:42,240
So it wound up being a hassle getting credit card numbers, getting paid, having to contact

582
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:43,240
the people.

583
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,200
So what I was doing was just fixing them and sending them anyway.

584
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:50,520
So once I figured out that's all I was really going to do, then I figured, well, why not

585
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,080
just do a lifetime warranty then?

586
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:55,200
And we retrograded that all the way back to the first light we built.

587
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:56,200
Gotcha.

588
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:57,200
Well guys, hold on one second.

589
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,840
I'm going to shut this off here and we're going to let Alan get done talking on the

590
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:03,240
mic and we'll come right back with Mr. Roseman.

591
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,360
All right, we are back here with Mr. Roseman.

592
00:26:06,360 --> 00:26:08,480
We finally got Alan off the big mic there.

593
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:12,200
Hey, I want to talk to you about something that I'd heard over on the Bear Gryz podcast

594
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:18,040
where you were explaining the difference between, what was it, brightness and power?

595
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,240
Is that what it was where you used the term lux?

596
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:21,240
Lumen and lux.

597
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:22,360
Lumen and lux, okay.

598
00:26:22,360 --> 00:26:27,280
So when you buy an LED light, like you buy one from Walmart, anything, and outside of

599
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:32,160
the coon hunt market, the question always gets asked, how many lumens is it?

600
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,240
There's a few problems with that.

601
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,120
One lumens doesn't really tell us how bright it is.

602
00:26:36,120 --> 00:26:38,520
That's just a total output of light.

603
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,880
Lux is how much light you can gather in one place.

604
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,360
Now this isn't the exact definition, but kind of a layman's thing.

605
00:26:45,360 --> 00:26:52,600
So a reflector allows us to throw the light, and that's measured in lux.

606
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:58,520
Lumens they measure and they put the LED in there, how much light it puts out, and in

607
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:02,840
your reflector you lose some of that each direction.

608
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:07,920
So inside the light, outside the light, light you can't see, there's all kinds of things

609
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:08,920
with it.

610
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:13,280
But basically lumens is the output, lux is how far it throws.

611
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:18,640
So brightness for us is the lux reading, not the lumens output.

612
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:24,840
So you can have 2000 lumens and it light up a room in a soft glow.

613
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:29,320
You can take 2000 lumens, put it in a reflector and see a mile with it.

614
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:30,320
That's what the difference is.

615
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:31,320
Right.

616
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,280
And I thought that was very interesting whenever I heard that, you know, listen to that podcast,

617
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:35,280
it finally broke it down.

618
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,320
I was like, okay, that makes sense.

619
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,520
So you've been in this light game for a lot of years.

620
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,200
What are some of the biggest differences that you've seen from whenever you first started

621
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:43,200
to where we are now?

622
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,000
Obviously, technology has changed, but is there anything like specifically that you're

623
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,480
just like very impressed with or where you might see the future going?

624
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:53,480
Right now we need new LEDs to advance.

625
00:27:53,480 --> 00:28:00,960
The LEDs that we have and the problem is the LED manufacturer Cree and those are more into

626
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:11,300
outdoor lighting, house lighting for to get brighter with an LED, we need a smaller footprint

627
00:28:11,300 --> 00:28:12,680
on the LED.

628
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:14,880
So the smaller the footprint is on the LED.

629
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,200
So you're talking to the little yellow piece you look at down there in the bottom of the

630
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:24,160
reflector, the smaller it gets and outputs more lumens, the more lux we can get from it.

631
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:28,160
If you take a large LED, so you look down in there and that little yellow square is

632
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:32,040
big and it puts out a lot of lumens, it still won't throw very far.

633
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,640
We need a small form factor and they're just not working on that.

634
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:40,520
They're not the whole, you know, to them, we're the flashlight industry and the whole

635
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:44,280
flashlight industry, they're just not overly interested in.

636
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,160
It's not where their money is.

637
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:51,280
So we need them to develop smaller form factor LEDs with higher lumens in them and once that

638
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:54,160
happens, well then we can get brighter than we are.

639
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:59,840
Beyond that, you have to start using either more power or bigger reflectors.

640
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:00,840
We went smaller.

641
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:04,440
I found a reflector that worked well for us on the copperhead.

642
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,840
I don't like the big heads.

643
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:10,440
So we went smaller with that and was able to keep our lux, we actually increased our

644
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,640
lux a little bit with the way that we built the reflector.

645
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:19,040
But we need that and we need an advance in battery technology to make longer burn times.

646
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:20,040
Gotcha.

647
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,440
Well, man, like I said, I just really appreciate you taking a few minutes to sit down with

648
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,600
us today and go through that, explain some of that for us here and appreciate the light

649
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:26,600
that you build.

650
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,160
You know, like I said, I really like it and I would encourage anybody who's looking to

651
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,560
market for a new light to check out SunSpot Lights.

652
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,900
You're not going to find a guy with a better warranty, a guy who will take care of you

653
00:29:34,900 --> 00:29:37,900
with customer service like Mr. Roseman, and I mean that with all sincerity.

654
00:29:37,900 --> 00:29:41,160
So I thank you very much for that and appreciate you taking time to sit down with us today.

655
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:42,160
All right.

656
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:43,160
Thanks, man.

657
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:44,160
All right.

658
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:48,760
Thanks, buddy.

681
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:02,760
Okay, let's make this fast so you can go get him.

682
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:06,760
Well, it's a good thing I already hit record because Andy wants to make this fast.

683
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,480
She saw Brent Reeves over there and wants to get a picture with him.

684
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,280
So we're going to get that done after this podcast.

685
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:14,640
But guys, I'm sitting down with Andy Emery and Curtis Elburn.

686
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:18,480
Andy won the Top 10 Bitch Show last night with the Redbone.

687
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:19,480
How was that?

688
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:20,480
That was great.

689
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:21,480
That was great.

690
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:22,480
It was a big win.

691
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:27,600
Good win for Hank and a little change, a little pocket change.

692
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:28,600
Yeah.

693
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:29,600
$20,000 for a bitch show.

694
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:30,600
Yeah, that's pretty good.

695
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:31,600
That's not terrible at all.

696
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:32,600
Nope.

697
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:36,360
Now you just had that dog down at Grand American where we just released our episode on that

698
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,200
and you got second down there with him, correct?

699
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:39,200
We did.

700
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:40,200
We got reserved there.

701
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,200
So you won Winter Classic second at Grand American.

702
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,560
You think you got a chance at the world this year?

703
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:46,800
We're going to give it our best shot.

704
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:47,800
All right.

705
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:49,520
Curtis, tell me a little bit about this dog.

706
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,000
Andy is obviously your daughter and these dogs go back to your line.

707
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:53,520
Where did these red dogs start from?

708
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:59,440
Well, when I was about 14, my dad bought me a Redbone coon dog out of Tennessee.

709
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,640
Russ Miller went down there and picked it up for him and brought it up here.

710
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:03,840
I kind of liked the red dogs.

711
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,000
There weren't many of them around.

712
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:12,320
So I thought that was pretty neat and I just got to hunting the red dogs and breeding them.

713
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:16,400
Andy has continued on and done awesome with them.

714
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,720
Just done great.

715
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:22,800
When you see Nicky and Andy out there on the show ring with the line of dogs that you'd

716
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:27,840
started, what does that do for you as a father and as a guy who's competitive in the show?

717
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:29,040
We know you're a competitive person.

718
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,560
What does that do for you to see them go out there and win with these dogs?

719
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:32,560
That's just awesome.

720
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:36,720
It makes me so proud that they can do this and they do do this.

721
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:38,080
When they win, I win.

722
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:39,080
Absolutely.

723
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:40,080
I mean, that's the same.

724
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:41,840
No difference in me winning.

725
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:42,840
Right.

726
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,440
So I know you guys have always had the Redbones.

727
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:49,160
You started dabbling in the leopards here, I wouldn't say in the recent years, but that's

728
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:50,520
your most recent breed.

729
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:52,560
You've had some success this weekend with your leopard dog as well.

730
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:53,960
Tell us a little bit about her.

731
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:57,680
Well, she goes back to some dogs we bred.

732
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:03,560
Andy found a leopard down in Georgia when they first recognized the leopards by UKC.

733
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:08,240
We bought one and we bred them and we've been very successful with them.

734
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:12,080
I've owned the first ever dual grand night champion leopard that there ever was.

735
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,000
We've got a lot of firsts in the leopard breeds.

736
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,680
I got a nice little leopard now that goes back to the stuff we started with.

737
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:20,280
Yeah, that's awesome.

738
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,760
Andy, let's go back to you and your daughter.

739
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:25,520
Your daughter Peyton, she's been showing black and tans here recently and had a lot

740
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:26,520
of success with her.

741
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:30,620
Tell us a little bit about that dog and about Peyton and where you think that couple has

742
00:33:30,620 --> 00:33:32,360
a future going.

743
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:38,480
Well, we bought that dog from Dave and Kelly Myers.

744
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:39,880
She's a nice dog, good balance dog.

745
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:43,520
Peyton decided that she loved a black and tan.

746
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:48,120
Some friends of ours, Clint and Veronica Pace and Shane and Lisa Bettingfield both let Peyton

747
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:51,040
borrow a black and tan and she won with it.

748
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:52,720
She won with those dogs.

749
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:59,600
When we started looking for something for Peyton of her own, this dog, she's built nice,

750
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:03,080
she moves nice, got a lot of good components.

751
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:08,080
Most importantly, she has a good personality for a youth to deal with, a kid to deal with.

752
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:09,080
They have a good bond.

753
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:13,920
Yeah, they've won breed at most of the bigger events now.

754
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:18,360
I think they're going to continue to mature both of them and continue to do well.

755
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:19,360
Right, absolutely.

756
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,040
Kurt, what does it do for you?

757
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:24,520
I know your daughter's been showing, but to see your grandkids now, this is third generation

758
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,800
out there showing the dogs in the show ring.

759
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:29,440
Well, that's even better yet.

760
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:33,720
There's several of them and they've had so much success in the youth events and the youth

761
00:34:33,720 --> 00:34:38,160
nationals and it's just awesome to see that carrying on.

762
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:42,400
Yeah, well, the Elburn name has been a big status in the show dogs for a long time and

763
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,280
I know you guys are going to continue that.

764
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,240
I wish you guys nothing but the best and thank you guys for sitting down for just a few minutes

765
00:34:47,240 --> 00:34:48,240
to chat with us.

766
00:34:48,240 --> 00:34:49,240
Thank you.

767
00:34:49,240 --> 00:35:09,880
Okay, thank you.

768
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:14,360
Well guys, you just heard Andy Emory talking about how we needed to make her podcast nice,

769
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:17,840
short and sweet so she could run over there and get a picture with Brent Reeves.

770
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:21,920
She done spotted him over at the Sunspot booth, but after we got that picture taken, we got

771
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:25,400
to talking to Brent and we've caught him to sit down here with us for just a little bit

772
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:26,400
and give us a chat.

773
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:30,400
And for those of you who don't know Brent, he's the host of the This Country Life podcast

774
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:34,280
over on the Meat Eater podcast and really a podcast that I enjoy listening to a lot

775
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:35,280
with my family.

776
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,800
It's a great family podcast and Brent, we appreciate you taking a few minutes to sit

777
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:38,800
down with us.

778
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:39,800
Oh man, thank you.

779
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:40,800
Thank you for having me on here.

780
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:41,800
Thank you, thank you.

781
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:42,800
Anytime.

782
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:44,960
So the winter classic, this is your first time down here.

783
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:45,960
First time.

784
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:50,320
You know, it's three hours from where I live now is even closer when I lived in Southeast

785
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:51,320
Target Zone.

786
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:52,800
This is the first time I've been over here.

787
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:54,760
Oh man, what's kept you away this long?

788
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:56,720
Well, you know, I'm not a competition hunter.

789
00:35:56,720 --> 00:36:01,840
I love competition hunting, but I'm not a competition guy and this time of year is usually

790
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:03,480
when I was guiding goose hunters.

791
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:09,600
My brother and I had a guide service forever and this was the conservation hunt in February

792
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,160
and there's no limit, no plug.

793
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:14,880
Just get out there and get the geese when you can.

794
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:19,040
And since that's kind of dried up and I've had a lot more time to coon hunt, I thought

795
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,600
I'd come over here and check it out.

796
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,320
Yeah, absolutely.

797
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,880
So Waylon the Wonderhound, how's he been doing?

798
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:30,720
I saw you took him on a hunt for a couple, you had an auction you did, right?

799
00:36:30,720 --> 00:36:36,280
We raffled off, I was helping a group of folks up in Kansas, Independence, Kansas and they've

800
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:41,920
got an organization called Hunters with Mission and they're supporting an orphanage over in

801
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:45,840
India and they have a big, it's kind of like a DU banquet or a turkey banquet and they

802
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:52,760
have a fundraiser and people donate prizes and stuff or donate items and then people

803
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:57,800
bid on them, you know, or put raffle tickets in there I think is what most of it is.

804
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:04,440
And I offered up a two day coon hunt with me and Waylon over at a friend of mine's place

805
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:10,720
in Cabin on the White River and did really good, sold, I think it was a little over $5,000

806
00:37:10,720 --> 00:37:17,280
in online sales, ticket sales for it and a guy by the name of George Pennington in Virginia

807
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:23,440
won it, withdrew his number and he is going to be coming down here next month and we're

808
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:26,200
going to feed him some gumbo and take him coon hunting.

809
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:27,200
Awesome, man.

810
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:28,600
Yeah, it was a good time.

811
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:33,400
We treat some coons up there in some kind of wet, rainy conditions.

812
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:37,600
They can't just got a lot of coons and short trees and that's what I like.

813
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:38,600
Right.

814
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:39,600
They kill.

815
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:40,600
Sounds good.

816
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:41,600
Absolutely.

817
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,440
So the This Country Life podcast, man, just tell us a little bit about that for the listeners

818
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:44,960
who haven't heard that.

819
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:45,960
What is that?

820
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:47,520
Just give us the synopsis on This Country Life.

821
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:52,920
Man, it's just a podcast about, it can be anything related to the country.

822
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:58,800
I talk about growing up, stories, things and stuff that's happened to me.

823
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:05,320
Unfortunately, I have lived a life of buffoonery and more or less in a circus and I have enough

824
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:09,800
memory that I remember those stories when I should have been remembering algebra, but

825
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,480
those stories have gotten me a lot farther.

826
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:18,720
I just tell, it's about 20 minutes long, 25 minutes, probably counting the commercials.

827
00:38:18,720 --> 00:38:20,160
It's an efficient listen.

828
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:23,120
You can listen to it with your kids.

829
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:29,560
There's no, it's always G rated and it's just about my experiences in life and lessons

830
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:35,120
that I've learned, mistakes I've made and we'll try to keep it humorous and kind of

831
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:37,520
lighthearted, but there's a message in there.

832
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:41,240
No, there always is and I appreciate that and I wanted to bring that on for our listeners

833
00:38:41,240 --> 00:38:44,480
to go over and take a listen to that because that's a show that I listen to with my kids

834
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:46,400
and my family and we absolutely love it.

835
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,120
Well, I appreciate it very much.

836
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:49,120
No, absolutely.

837
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:50,120
Okay.

838
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:51,460
So I want to know what's in your pockets right now.

839
00:38:51,460 --> 00:38:53,200
Is it everything that you talk about on the podcast?

840
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:54,680
I knew somebody was going to ask.

841
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:55,680
Oh, there we go.

842
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:56,680
Here we go.

843
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:57,680
It's me.

844
00:38:57,680 --> 00:38:58,680
I'm the one asking.

845
00:38:58,680 --> 00:38:59,680
Let me stand up.

846
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:00,680
Okay.

847
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:08,800
We got a set of keys, a case knife, a tube of chapstick, another knife.

848
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:09,800
Is it a case?

849
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:10,800
Okay.

850
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:11,800
We got the Buckeye.

851
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:16,120
Buckeye, an acre and a little girl gave me at the world championships, Coral Cook Off

852
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,480
in Arkansas.

853
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:25,440
This Buckeye Clay Newcomb gave me after I gave him one probably nine or 10 years ago.

854
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:29,760
He lost his before we got off the mountain and that's the same one that I still got.

855
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:36,400
A sacage of wea dollar that my wife gave me that's supposed to help me find my way home

856
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:40,560
when I'm away from home and I've carried it every day.

857
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:44,360
Well guys, those are some of the things that you can hear on the This Country Live podcast

858
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,080
where Brent talks about some of the things that he carries.

859
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:48,840
I absolutely love it.

860
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:49,840
Yeah man.

861
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:50,840
I'm a creature of habit.

862
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,880
So I ain't got no money to tote so I just tote other things.

863
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:54,880
There you go.

864
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:55,880
There you go.

865
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,600
Alright, so thinking about the winter classic here, what's your first impression?

866
00:39:58,600 --> 00:39:59,600
The crowd?

867
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:00,600
Oh it's good.

868
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:01,600
These are my people man.

869
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:02,600
These are good folks.

870
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:06,240
I've seen when I pulled up and got out of my truck, of course it's raining like what

871
00:40:06,240 --> 00:40:08,680
cows do to flat rocks.

872
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:13,160
But it is nothing but hounds barking outside and I thought yeah, this is going to be good.

873
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:14,160
This is home, huh?

874
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:15,160
Yeah, this is good.

875
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:17,560
You've been sitting over there with Michael Roseman, the Sunspot Lights.

876
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:20,640
Tell us a little bit about that because I actually had Michael on the podcast earlier.

877
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:22,320
Them Sunspot Lights, you're a big fan of them, ain't you?

878
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:23,600
Oh yeah, I love them.

879
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:28,680
You know, I've had several lights growing up and I met Michael through my buddy Rex

880
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:37,560
Whiting who in just a chance meeting, I was standing outside in my driveway cleaning out

881
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:39,800
a dog box and Rex pulled up.

882
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:46,920
He says, there's only two kind of folks around here in that part of Arkansas that have dog

883
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:48,160
boxes in the back of the truck.

884
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:49,680
They're either coon hunters or duck hunters.

885
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:50,960
Which one are you?

886
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:52,480
And I said, well, I'm kind of both of them.

887
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:56,200
I said, but this box is for a coon dog.

888
00:40:56,200 --> 00:41:00,800
And just that chance meeting, we sat there and started talking about it and we started

889
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:07,920
hunting together and through Rex I met Michael and I mean he's 20 minutes up the road from

890
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:11,920
me making those lights and I just got, I see how they're made.

891
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:16,160
I know the folks that make them and it's the light for me.

892
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:17,600
They're good family folks.

893
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:19,720
Michael's just like my brother.

894
00:41:19,720 --> 00:41:21,920
We hunt together all the time.

895
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:27,000
Probably 90% of the time I'm hunting, I'm hunting with Michael.

896
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:32,460
So cause he's like me, he don't like to walk either and we ride to the tree.

897
00:41:32,460 --> 00:41:35,080
That sounds like the life to live.

898
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:36,360
Yeah.

899
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:38,000
So the retired life is treating you well.

900
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:39,600
You enjoy doing the podcast stuff?

901
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:41,080
Oh, I absolutely enjoy it.

902
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:45,200
You know, it's like my wife says, it's, it'd be like her getting paid to go shopping.

903
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:48,640
You know, it's, it's what it's really a good deal.

904
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:52,200
MeatEater is a great bunch of people to work for.

905
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:58,440
They're all focused on the outdoors and conservation and keeping this stuff and telling these stories

906
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:01,640
that should be told and people need to hear.

907
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:02,640
Right.

908
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:06,680
And I think the way that, you know, things are going to be cared for and they're going

909
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:08,720
to keep going is if people care about it.

910
00:42:08,720 --> 00:42:09,720
Yes sir.

911
00:42:09,720 --> 00:42:11,680
And to make them care about it, we've got to tell the story.

912
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:12,880
And that's, that's what I like.

913
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:13,880
Yes sir.

914
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:19,280
The guy right before you that sit down, I conned him into telling us a Bobcat story

915
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:24,720
and in telling that story, he came into the reason why he even came to winter classic

916
00:42:24,720 --> 00:42:30,720
and it was to honor one of his friends that had passed away a month ago and just seeing

917
00:42:30,720 --> 00:42:37,480
the look on his face of, you know, just heartbreak and telling a couple of the stories and then

918
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:40,520
his granddaughter sitting there recording the whole thing.

919
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:41,520
Oh, that's nice.

920
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:46,240
It just, it really brings it full circle, you know, in that if we don't sit down, it's

921
00:42:46,240 --> 00:42:51,720
kind of one of the reasons why I let Bryce con me into doing a podcast or starting helping

922
00:42:51,720 --> 00:42:56,840
him with the podcast is because, you know, it's all those memories that we have and if

923
00:42:56,840 --> 00:43:00,560
we don't tell it and document them when we die, they die.

924
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:04,920
Well that's a good thing about that, that that granddaughter is recording that because

925
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:05,920
they're going to have that forever.

926
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:06,920
Yes.

927
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:07,920
Even when grandpa's gone.

928
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:15,880
You know, I've, I've for the last 26 years, I've been video and film and document and

929
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:23,000
outdoor stuff, but I never had the idea to sit down and film or record my dad where the

930
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,480
majority of my stories come from.

931
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:30,640
So in, in my mistake of not doing that, I'm trying to make up for it now.

932
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:38,000
He is, he is and has been a big inspiration for me to keep this going and tell the tale.

933
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:41,480
Well speaking of that, tell us your most favorite story.

934
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:42,480
Oh Lord.

935
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:43,480
Of your father.

936
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:44,640
That's like to ask him.

937
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:45,640
Oh, I know.

938
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:46,640
I know it's hard.

939
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:47,640
That's what everybody says.

940
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:48,640
Well, not the favorite one.

941
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:49,640
Just tell us one.

942
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:54,640
I'll just say, I'll tell you one real.

943
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:58,960
Some of them are long and convoluted, but I'll tell you one more.

944
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:04,160
It had to do with my dad that I've told on several podcasts that is one of my favorite.

945
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:06,800
It's probably my favorite.

946
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:09,920
There was a man who lived down the road from my dad.

947
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:15,200
My dad was about 12, 13 years old and he had a good coon dog.

948
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:20,280
His name was Tiger and Coons were at a good price.

949
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:25,400
My dad had loved coon, this man would take him cooning with him.

950
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:31,520
My dad's dad, my grandfather was killed in a shipyard during World War II, working on

951
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:32,640
ships, building ships.

952
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:38,520
So he only had his, my great grandfather, his grandfather, who was already a little

953
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:43,920
older to go hunting with, but he didn't have a coon dog at that time, but the neighbor

954
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:44,920
did.

955
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,360
So that's, that's who he hunted with.

956
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:50,600
So he, my dad loved it so much he wanted to go all the time.

957
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:54,880
Well, this man had a job, he couldn't go, but just on the weekend.

958
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:59,280
And my dad would lay down there at the house and hear his dog up there barking in the chair

959
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:05,040
and think, boy, I could, I could be out there having that dog right now and go hunting.

960
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:09,720
But the man on the dog had to get up early and go to the sawmill.

961
00:45:09,720 --> 00:45:15,440
So my dad had the bright idea, him and a friend of his that lived in the neighboring farm,

962
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:21,120
they'd just go up there and cut that dog loose, take him off the chain, let him take him out

963
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:22,120
in the woods and hunt.

964
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:26,440
And when they got through, they'd just do nothing, just walk home and that dog would

965
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:27,480
eventually go home.

966
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:28,480
So that's what they did.

967
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:31,120
They slip up to the edge of the yard.

968
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:34,120
One of them would lay in the edge of the yard and the other one would crawl over there and

969
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:38,200
take that collar off of that dog, hook it back like he had slipped the collar.

970
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:42,840
The dog would follow them boys out in the woods and they'd hunt until they, until they

971
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:43,840
got done.

972
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:48,280
And then they'd leave that dog, the dog would go back and lay it up on the porch.

973
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:53,480
And he said they did that two or three times, you know, for over the next three or four

974
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:54,480
weeks.

975
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:59,280
It got to be such a habit that they didn't even ask to go with him on the weekends anymore

976
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:03,320
because they was hunting him five nights a week, you know, themselves.

977
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:08,000
And he said one time they crawled up there and they was taking turns to go get that dog.

978
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,840
One of them would watch the house and make sure wouldn't, wouldn't know lights come on.

979
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:17,040
The other one slip up, slip the collar off, tied it back and then they'd be gone.

980
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:20,080
So it was my friend, my dad's friend's time to crawl up there.

981
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:23,760
He crawled up to the edge of the box or to the box and then he crawled back to him.

982
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:26,760
My dad just said something wrong with the tiger.

983
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:28,640
He said we shouldn't take him hunting.

984
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:29,640
He said why?

985
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:30,640
He says he can't breathe.

986
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:32,680
He sounds bad like he's sick.

987
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:34,600
My dad said we hunted him last night.

988
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:35,600
There wasn't nothing wrong with him.

989
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:38,280
He said I'll go up there and get it.

990
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:42,720
So he got him in the edge of the yard and my dad crawled up to the dog box and told him

991
00:46:42,720 --> 00:46:45,760
he said, now you watch the house and make sure no lights come on.

992
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:49,640
He crawled up there to get old tiger and he said the closer he got, he could hear an old

993
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:56,800
tiger in there going, he said, man, he's just struggling to breathe that dang something

994
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:57,800
is wrong with this dog.

995
00:46:57,800 --> 00:46:59,840
He said, well, we're going to hunt him anyway.

996
00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:02,120
But he crawled up there and he reached to get that collar.

997
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:06,320
He said that collar was so tight on that dog's neck.

998
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:08,920
They went one more notch to choke to death.

999
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:11,520
So he said, see, we didn't take him out anymore.

1000
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:14,160
He said, I loosened it up enough where he can start breathing.

1001
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:18,160
But what that fellow was doing was getting up every morning, finding that dog loose on

1002
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:21,000
the porch and he was tightening that collar up.

1003
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:23,640
He's not going to slip that collar.

1004
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:24,640
That's a good one right there.

1005
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:25,640
I like that story.

1006
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:26,640
That's great.

1007
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:27,640
Well, Brent, we won't keep you any longer.

1008
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:30,440

I'm fine.

1036
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:12,160
Could you tell the listeners what your name is?

1037
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:14,080
My name is Jimmy Kirby.

1038
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:15,080
And where are you from?

1039
00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:16,080
From Alabama.

1040
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:17,080
From Alabama.

1041
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:22,880
Guys, I was handing out some business cards and I ran across this fella, asked him if

1042
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:27,240
he had a good story to tell and I'm assuming, is this your granddaughter?

1043
00:49:27,240 --> 00:49:28,240
Yes sir.

1044
00:49:28,240 --> 00:49:30,960
And I said, hey, do you got a good story to tell?

1045
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:34,480
And she says, you've got to tell the story about a bobcat.

1046
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:40,600
So I condimented getting over here and telling all the listeners this story about the bobcat.

1047
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:42,600
So sir, let's hear about this bobcat.

1048
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:48,880
Well, my daughter, which was her mother, wanted to go deer hunting one morning.

1049
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:52,960
Which I grow chickens at the poultry farm.

1050
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:58,520
I told her, she called me and wanted me to help her get in the shooting house.

1051
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:02,120
So I told her, give me a minute, which I said, in the chicken houses.

1052
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:07,640
So I just come out and told her, I said, well, I'll take my rifle and go.

1053
00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:10,240
And so I didn't change clothes or anything.

1054
00:50:10,240 --> 00:50:13,240
I'd been in the chicken house smelling like chickens.

1055
00:50:13,240 --> 00:50:20,680
And I'd go over and drop her off at her stand, come back around and I stopped a four-wheeler

1056
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:24,240
about 200 yards from the shooting house I was gonna get in.

1057
00:50:24,240 --> 00:50:32,640
And I walked and about the time I got sat down, here come a bobcat.

1058
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:37,600
He had his nose to the ground smelling and tracking me.

1059
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:43,280
When he got close to me, he stopped and he was licking his lips and looking up in the

1060
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:45,960
shooting house at me.

1061
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:49,280
Oh man, you didn't pop him?

1062
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:51,280
Yes sir, I did.

1063
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:54,480
He's mounted at the house now.

1064
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:57,080
Got him and got him mounted, man.

1065
00:50:57,080 --> 00:50:59,440
How long you been coon hunting?

1066
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:03,760
I'm 71 and I started when I followed my daddy when I was about eight year old.

1067
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:07,080
Oh man, many years, many years.

1068
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:10,120
What's your favorite story about you and your daddy coon hunting?

1069
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:16,120
I did some many of them over the years.

1070
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:19,520
So that's kind of one of the reasons why.

1071
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:23,120
I'm kind of the obsolete guy in this podcast.

1072
00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:32,360
I'm not really big into the whole telling stories, but really what got me was just the

1073
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:35,520
thought that my daddy's not always gonna be around.

1074
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:41,880
And if we don't have something to record and document all these memories and stories that

1075
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:47,680
we had with the people that got us into coon hunting, they were just gonna die with us.

1076
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:54,080
So I thought what better way than to sit down and kind of go over these stories.

1077
00:51:54,080 --> 00:52:01,120
Well, what got me coon hunting was my daddy was started and he had a couple of good friends.

1078
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:09,920
So he'd take me along and there was Walker Brothers, their last name was Walkers.

1079
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:19,320
And Mr. Ralph Walker coon hunted a whole lot more than when we called Doc.

1080
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:25,200
We'd been hunting probably a couple of years and never will forget Doc was gonna raise

1081
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:33,440
a litter of pups off of a black and tan female he had and a high tan dog that Mr. Ralph had.

1082
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:40,560
And so when puppies got up to about six weeks old, he told me to come pick me out of pair.

1083
00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:44,360
And my daddy kept telling me, he said, he's not getting no dogs.

1084
00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:47,720
He said, we've got dogs.

1085
00:52:47,720 --> 00:52:50,480
And Mr. Doc said, give them your dogs.

1086
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:53,000
He said that boy needs some of his own.

1087
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:55,760
He said, I'll give him a pair of those.

1088
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:56,760
Oh man.

1089
00:52:56,760 --> 00:52:57,760
He did.

1090
00:52:57,760 --> 00:53:05,280
And the little female was making a sure enough real outstanding tree dog, coon dog.

1091
00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:07,680
She got run over at a real young age.

1092
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:12,480
And I kept the male dog to probably seven year old.

1093
00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:13,480
Oh really?

1094
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:16,280
It turned out a pretty nice little dog, huh?

1095
00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:17,280
He made a good dog.

1096
00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:21,520
He just had some habits that a lot of people wouldn't live with.

1097
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:22,800
He tricked coons every night.

1098
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:23,800
He satisfied you, right?

1099
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:27,520
Well, like I said, he tricked coons every night.

1100
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:28,520
There you go.

1101
00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:29,520
There you go.

1102
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:30,520
That's what it's all about, guys.

1103
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:34,160
Hey, we appreciate you coming and telling a little bit about yourself and telling us

1104
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:37,920
the Bobcat story down here at Winter Classics.

1105
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:39,560
And we appreciate you.

1106
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:44,600
Hope you have a good time down here and continue doing what you do, Bob.

1107
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:46,440
I want to say one more thing.

1108
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:47,440
Yes, sir.

1109
00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:48,440
Go ahead.

1110
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:51,400
Raising me and my granddaughter come back this year.

1111
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:53,520
She come with me last year.

1112
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:55,320
First year she'd come to it.

1113
00:53:55,320 --> 00:54:01,080
Me and my nephew slash son, I called him.

1114
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:04,000
He'd been coming four or five year with.

1115
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:07,960
And I had a real good friend, Mr. Jimmy Ray Terry.

1116
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:14,880
And I'd come and hang with him since I was about 12, 14 year old also.

1117
00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:22,880
And he'd come last, I guess the last five years, six years with us down here.

1118
00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:27,560
He come last year, my granddaughter's first year here.

1119
00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:34,080
And we lost Mr. Jimmy Ray to cancer a few months ago.

1120
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:40,120
And me and her was honoring him in our memories to being down here.

1121
00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:41,120
He was a great person.

1122
00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:42,120
Yes, sir.

1123
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:48,400
He was a great Christian and loved cone hunting.

1124
00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:54,400
Like I said, it kind of hits the emotional spot.

1125
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:58,480
One of the reasons why we try to get people out, get them on the mic is so that we can

1126
00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:03,520
record these memories and let other people hear them, let other people be inspired by

1127
00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:05,040
them.

1128
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:08,800
The world needs a lot more people that care about each other.

1129
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:15,080
And that's what we're trying to share, that sportsmanship, that camaraderie that we have

1130
00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:16,080
between each other.

1131
00:55:16,080 --> 00:55:19,080
Well, both of my daughters, I had two girls.

1132
00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:27,200
My man and both of them actually cone hunted with me and deer hunted.

1133
00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:31,880
And I called him my nephew slash son.

1134
00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:37,400
He's actually my nephew, but me and my wife and parents raised him from time his 11 year

1135
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:39,360
old on it.

1136
00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:42,920
And we've been a cone hunting.

1137
00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:50,280
I just been so many memories in my head, which I had a young age.

1138
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:56,880
Actually, I qualified a dog that I trained on my own.

1139
00:55:56,880 --> 00:56:01,960
Took him to the AHA world hunt, won my cast the first night with him.

1140
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:03,560
He had a mercy at home.

1141
00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:09,520
I had to leave the hunt and go back and then I hunted the next year in the UK, say world

1142
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:10,520
hunt.

1143
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:21,600
And I placed 21st out of 267 dogs at the South East Zone hunt that year.

1144
00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:24,840
Only top 20 went on to the finals.

1145
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:25,840
Yes, sir.

1146
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:26,840
I missed out on one dog.

1147
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:27,840
One dog, one dog.

1148
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:29,840
That's the way it goes sometimes.

1149
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:32,520
You know, without the failure, we don't know what success is.

1150
00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:37,400
So any of these young hunters that started, as always, if you put the time and effort

1151
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:42,520
in, you can go as far as you want to go.

1152
00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:43,520
Yes, sir.

1153
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:47,480
Well, like I said, I want to appreciate you for not only bringing your granddaughter and

1154
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:49,880
sharing it, you know, generation to generation.

1155
00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:54,560
If we don't get these young kids involved, you know, as we die, the sport dies.

1156
00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:58,000
And so definitely bringing your granddaughter out here, sharing those memories.

1157
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:01,120
We appreciate you and to have a good winter classic, sir.

1158
00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:02,120
Okay.

1159
00:57:02,120 --> 00:57:22,160
Thank you.

1160
00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:26,240
Well guys, we are sitting down here with one of the nice show ladies who's been trotting

1161
00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:28,200
around the ring this weekend showing her dogs.

1162
00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:30,120
Miss Christina officer, how are you today?

1163
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:31,120
I'm good.

1164
00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:32,120
I am wonderful.

1165
00:57:32,120 --> 00:57:36,680
I wanted to get you down here because you probably don't know this, but I will never

1166
00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:40,320
forget the time that you won the world hunt with legs.

1167
00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:41,320
You know why?

1168
00:57:41,320 --> 00:57:42,320
No.

1169
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:43,320
Well, that's the event where I met Nikki.

1170
00:57:43,320 --> 00:57:44,320
Oh, well, that's true.

1171
00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:45,320
That is true.

1172
00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:48,160
I will never forget that.

1173
00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:49,160
I'd say not.

1174
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:51,120
So tell us a little bit about the dogs that you're showing.

1175
00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:54,720
What breeds are you showing and what all have you done with them?

1176
00:57:54,720 --> 00:58:00,200
I'm showing plot hounds and the current dog that I'm showing now is County line Truman.

1177
00:58:00,200 --> 00:58:03,160
He just recently became a champion.

1178
00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:05,080
He's two years old.

1179
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:09,320
He was lucky enough at the last part of the year to get into the top 10.

1180
00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:12,280
So we had a pretty good day yesterday with him.

1181
00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:13,280
Absolutely.

1182
00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:19,080
And then I have a young dog that I, out of my legacy female that I won the world with

1183
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:21,960
that I'm educating this weekend.

1184
00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:22,960
Just a little educate.

1185
00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:23,960
Yeah.

1186
00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:24,960
She's not quite old enough to show yet.

1187
00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:25,960
Yeah, that's good.

1188
00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:27,940
So you traveled all these major hunts.

1189
00:58:27,940 --> 00:58:31,480
What is it about these shows that keep you coming back for more year after year?

1190
00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:33,640
The dogs and the people.

1191
00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:34,640
The big part of it?

1192
00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:35,640
Yeah, it's a lot of it.

1193
00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:40,280
I mean, I played sports when I was growing up and everything.

1194
00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:45,080
I had a bad car wreck and it kind of changed the track of my life and I couldn't compete

1195
00:58:45,080 --> 00:58:47,560
in any sport or anything anymore.

1196
00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:53,500
And I always wanted to show dogs and I got into it and I won my first train Walker sectional

1197
00:58:53,500 --> 00:58:54,500
and I was boom.

1198
00:58:54,500 --> 00:58:55,500
I was in.

1199
00:58:55,500 --> 00:58:56,500
You was in like Flynn.

1200
00:58:56,500 --> 00:58:58,080
That's right.

1201
00:58:58,080 --> 00:59:01,760
So is it the plot hounds that you have really just taken to and that's your breed of choice

1202
00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:02,760
now?

1203
00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:04,120
Tell me about the transition of that.

1204
00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:06,600
Well, when I started, I started with the Walker dog.

1205
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:13,480
My ex-husband was into Walkers and I started with those and I was looking around for a

1206
00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:15,100
breed.

1207
00:59:15,100 --> 00:59:17,260
Not that I didn't like a Walker dog.

1208
00:59:17,260 --> 00:59:18,760
I just was looking for something different.

1209
00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:23,960
I was actually looking for a blue tick and could not find one in my area that suited

1210
00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:24,960
me.

1211
00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:27,920
I was looking for blue ticks in Kentucky at that time.

1212
00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:32,820
So I went to the AKC world hunt and a lady by Linda Mack was there with the litter of

1213
00:59:32,820 --> 00:59:40,000
plot puppies and I never did really gravitate to brindle dogs, but one of them caught my

1214
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:41,000
eye.

1215
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:45,120
So I ended up buying a pair of pups and that got me started.

1216
00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:51,400
So then I got the second dog in which is the terrible Tuesday and that founded my kennel

1217
00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:54,360
and all my dogs go back to that same female right now today.

1218
00:59:54,360 --> 00:59:55,360
Really?

1219
00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:56,360
Yeah.

1220
00:59:56,360 --> 00:59:58,640
And that was in 90, I bought her in 96.

1221
00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:02,480
So you've been pushing that line for almost 30 years.

1222
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:03,480
Yes.

1223
01:00:03,480 --> 01:00:04,760
That's impressive and carrying that on.

1224
01:00:04,760 --> 01:00:05,760
Yeah.

1225
01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:08,560
Do you ever see yourself venturing out from the plots again or are you just going to stick

1226
01:00:08,560 --> 01:00:09,560
with the plots?

1227
01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:10,560
I like all dogs.

1228
01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:11,920
I'm not a Walker dogs.

1229
01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:15,640
I like them, but there's a lot more work to them because they're white and you have to

1230
01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:16,640
keep them clean.

1231
01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:17,640
Yep.

1232
01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:21,320
So there's even when you get to show your dog spick and span, he may not be the time

1233
01:00:21,320 --> 01:00:22,320
you have to show him.

1234
01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:23,320
Right.

1235
01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:26,480
So there's a lot more baby in with that coat color.

1236
01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:28,720
Not unless I was to get involved with somebody that had it.

1237
01:00:28,720 --> 01:00:32,360
I live in the city so I really, they really don't want me to have the amount of dogs that

1238
01:00:32,360 --> 01:00:33,360
I have now.

1239
01:00:33,360 --> 01:00:34,360
Right.

1240
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:35,360
No, that's understandable.

1241
01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:41,720
You know, and it costs with all the parent clubs and breeds and stuff, it's hard to,

1242
01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:48,080
it's hard to, you know, cost effectively show two breeds and stuff like that and doing both

1243
01:00:48,080 --> 01:00:49,080
justice.

1244
01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:50,080
Right.

1245
01:00:50,080 --> 01:00:52,680
Without having a partner in it to do part of it.

1246
01:00:52,680 --> 01:00:53,680
No, absolutely.

1247
01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:55,120
So I know you've won the world hunt.

1248
01:00:55,120 --> 01:00:57,680
Have you won any of these other major events that I see you at all the time?

1249
01:00:57,680 --> 01:00:58,680
Oh yeah.

1250
01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:03,160
I've won the winter classic twice and I won one year with my Frankenstein dog was the first

1251
01:01:03,160 --> 01:01:05,960
big show I had won.

1252
01:01:05,960 --> 01:01:11,280
Came back the next two years later with the daughter out of him or maybe three years later

1253
01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:13,720
with a daughter out of him and won it again.

1254
01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:18,480
And so I've won winter classic when it was in Albany.

1255
01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:22,080
And then I've obviously the world time.

1256
01:01:22,080 --> 01:01:25,560
And I've placed it all the breed days and I've never won the grand American.

1257
01:01:25,560 --> 01:01:28,440
I've come second place.

1258
01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:35,320
But and then the world I've, I've, I've won, you know, in all registries at the world level.

1259
01:01:35,320 --> 01:01:40,300
The one Liberty Bell female I had, she actually was reserved at UKC, AKC and PKC world the

1260
01:01:40,300 --> 01:01:41,300
same year.

1261
01:01:41,300 --> 01:01:42,300
Awesome.

1262
01:01:42,300 --> 01:01:43,300
Yeah.

1263
01:01:43,300 --> 01:01:46,280
Each each time a different male dog beat me, but I still, I was, I was pleased to have

1264
01:01:46,280 --> 01:01:48,280
what I had, you know, so.

1265
01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:49,280
Absolutely.

1266
01:01:49,280 --> 01:01:52,600
Do you still have the same fire, the same passion now that you did when you started?

1267
01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:53,600
Yes.

1268
01:01:53,600 --> 01:01:58,040
But my boy, my, my body has not held up as well as, is the passion.

1269
01:01:58,040 --> 01:01:59,040
Right.

1270
01:01:59,040 --> 01:02:02,040
What, what advice would you give to these youth handlers that are coming up into what

1271
01:02:02,040 --> 01:02:06,520
to sustain that passion for as long as you've had it, if they're starting from the beginning,

1272
01:02:06,520 --> 01:02:08,160
what advice would you give them?

1273
01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:13,520
The first, you've got to have the love of the dog and it's got to be for the dog.

1274
01:02:13,520 --> 01:02:19,160
I would say listen to the people that came before you and give them credit just because

1275
01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:20,720
you might not like what they're doing.

1276
01:02:20,720 --> 01:02:23,120
They've paved the way for all you to be here.

1277
01:02:23,120 --> 01:02:27,040
I mean, you know, they have put all the steps in cause they were once in your shoes, you

1278
01:02:27,040 --> 01:02:29,480
know, um, and consistency.

1279
01:02:29,480 --> 01:02:32,440
If you don't do your homework, just like school, if you don't do your homework at home, you're

1280
01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:33,800
not going to have any luck here.

1281
01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:34,800
That's right.

1282
01:02:34,800 --> 01:02:35,800
That's right.

1283
01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:38,220
Well, Mr. Stanton, thank you so much for sitting down with us and taking just a few minutes

1284
01:02:38,220 --> 01:02:39,220
to chat with us.

1285
01:02:39,220 --> 01:02:42,280
We sure appreciate you guys and I look forward to seeing you around at the next major events.

1286
01:02:42,280 --> 01:02:43,280
Well, thank you very much.

1287
01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:44,280
Thank you.

1288
01:02:44,280 --> 01:02:45,280
All right.

1289
01:02:45,280 --> 01:02:52,280
Here we go.

1290
01:02:52,280 --> 01:03:11,240
Hey, I con two of my good friends into sitting down.

1291
01:03:11,240 --> 01:03:15,520
We got one over here says he's going to be really quiet, but I'm going to get him to

1292
01:03:15,520 --> 01:03:19,520
talk, but I got two of my real good friends.

1293
01:03:19,520 --> 01:03:25,800
People that I really look up to, not only in the coon hunting world, but just in general,

1294
01:03:25,800 --> 01:03:28,880
they're my friends from Prairie branch kennel.

1295
01:03:28,880 --> 01:03:29,880
Woohoo.

1296
01:03:29,880 --> 01:03:32,960
Michelle and Ben Roberts.

1297
01:03:32,960 --> 01:03:33,960
How y'all doing today?

1298
01:03:33,960 --> 01:03:36,080
Well, we do a good, it's raining.

1299
01:03:36,080 --> 01:03:37,080
Wet.

1300
01:03:37,080 --> 01:03:38,080
It's wet.

1301
01:03:38,080 --> 01:03:39,080
Yes, it is.

1302
01:03:39,080 --> 01:03:41,000
What brings you guys to winter classics?

1303
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:42,000
How come you stop?

1304
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:44,240
Oh, how come she's missing money?

1305
01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:45,320
She come to spend money.

1306
01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:46,320
She comes to break me.

1307
01:03:46,320 --> 01:03:47,320
Break you.

1308
01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:50,640
I mean, that's why you work so she can spend, right?

1309
01:03:50,640 --> 01:03:52,440
That's why she works to spend her own money.

1310
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:54,280
Oh, but she spends yours too, right?

1311
01:03:54,280 --> 01:03:55,280
Yeah.

1312
01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:56,280
All of it.

1313
01:03:56,280 --> 01:04:03,820
So for those that you don't know, Michelle runs a fun nominal training pen.

1314
01:04:03,820 --> 01:04:04,820
It's a starting pin.

1315
01:04:04,820 --> 01:04:07,800
I send all of my dogs to her.

1316
01:04:07,800 --> 01:04:13,440
100% recommend it, look them up on Facebook, Prairie branch kennels.

1317
01:04:13,440 --> 01:04:18,960
Tell us a little bit about what you have going on with your kennels and how it's been going.

1318
01:04:18,960 --> 01:04:19,960
It's been going.

1319
01:04:19,960 --> 01:04:29,280
Well, it's a nine acre training pen, 12 foot fence around it.

1320
01:04:29,280 --> 01:04:31,120
We have what?

1321
01:04:31,120 --> 01:04:35,240
Like 15 to 20 coons at all time in nine acres.

1322
01:04:35,240 --> 01:04:36,240
Yep.

1323
01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:41,320
And I try to keep anywhere from three to five dogs a month.

1324
01:04:41,320 --> 01:04:44,760
How's that going?

1325
01:04:44,760 --> 01:04:46,480
Been doing pretty good.

1326
01:04:46,480 --> 01:04:51,560
I think I'm going to have a slow month and then I get a couple of messages and bring

1327
01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:52,560
more dogs in.

1328
01:04:52,560 --> 01:04:54,800
I think I'm booked till April.

1329
01:04:54,800 --> 01:04:56,800
Oh, good deal.

1330
01:04:56,800 --> 01:04:57,800
Full deal.

1331
01:04:57,800 --> 01:04:58,800
You liking it?

1332
01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:01,800
Yeah, for the most part.

1333
01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:04,680
I think she needs a break already.

1334
01:05:04,680 --> 01:05:05,680
She's dragging.

1335
01:05:05,680 --> 01:05:07,280
She can't handle every night.

1336
01:05:07,280 --> 01:05:16,720
I am dragging and it puts a toll on you when you do this five nights a week.

1337
01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:22,800
I have a kid at home that is in homeschooling.

1338
01:05:22,800 --> 01:05:30,160
Try to keep my house up to keep, keep up with that kind of stuff.

1339
01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:33,400
When I'm out there, I'm usually out there till like 12 o'clock.

1340
01:05:33,400 --> 01:05:36,320
It just depends on how the dogs are doing.

1341
01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:37,320
Oh, definitely.

1342
01:05:37,320 --> 01:05:45,040
For those of you that don't know, we became really good friends.

1343
01:05:45,040 --> 01:05:49,280
Their daughter and my daughter hunted together at the EKC youth hunt.

1344
01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:55,960
We became really good friends and then it just so happens that we ended up becoming

1345
01:05:55,960 --> 01:06:02,560
in relationship as far as the Duncan hit the spot dog and the spot was down at Ben's house

1346
01:06:02,560 --> 01:06:04,760
for a little while.

1347
01:06:04,760 --> 01:06:11,040
They still with Ben's sister, Tiffany, they're the ones that own the spot.

1348
01:06:11,040 --> 01:06:13,120
I've got spot at my house now.

1349
01:06:13,120 --> 01:06:16,280
The relationship just continues to build, continues to build.

1350
01:06:16,280 --> 01:06:17,840
They're good friends of mine.

1351
01:06:17,840 --> 01:06:19,920
I love talking to them.

1352
01:06:19,920 --> 01:06:23,480
Definitely wanted to get them in here on a podcast.

1353
01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:25,280
What dogs you got, Ben?

1354
01:06:25,280 --> 01:06:32,000
I got, right now I got the youngest ever HCX dog, Hillbilly Hannah.

1355
01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:37,000
We hunt her, she had puppies off of spot.

1356
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:39,360
She's been winning a little bit here and there.

1357
01:06:39,360 --> 01:06:44,400
I don't get to hunt enough for 14 and 14 schedule and it's hard to find people to help you handle

1358
01:06:44,400 --> 01:06:47,040
now.

1359
01:06:47,040 --> 01:06:49,320
A lot of people don't hunt like us.

1360
01:06:49,320 --> 01:06:52,960
We hunt a different style of dog than most people.

1361
01:06:52,960 --> 01:06:57,880
My little Ripper dog has been, Ripper's been in the pen since all the moats.

1362
01:06:57,880 --> 01:06:58,880
He's been out twice.

1363
01:06:58,880 --> 01:07:01,160
Poor Ripper's been put on the back burner.

1364
01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:05,440
I've kind of, for those of you that don't know, I've kind of corrupted these two.

1365
01:07:05,440 --> 01:07:11,960
Well, it's to see me leaving local hunts and going to big hunts.

1366
01:07:11,960 --> 01:07:13,960
I see what it takes.

1367
01:07:13,960 --> 01:07:20,120
There's no, the old barn behind the barn dog is not there no more.

1368
01:07:20,120 --> 01:07:21,760
He can't handle it.

1369
01:07:21,760 --> 01:07:23,880
He can treat coons, no doubt.

1370
01:07:23,880 --> 01:07:27,200
Everybody's got a coon dog that can treat coons, but to be able to compete on the level

1371
01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:34,960
with Spot, Hannah, the local dogs in Mississippi that are top dogs, Dustin Weeds dogs, here

1372
01:07:34,960 --> 01:07:39,160
locally we hunted Hannah against Joker two weekends ago.

1373
01:07:39,160 --> 01:07:42,440
Joker beat her by a circle tree.

1374
01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:46,000
They both had exact points on the coons, separate by their self.

1375
01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:49,240
There's no me too dogs no more that's going to win big hunts.

1376
01:07:49,240 --> 01:07:53,080
You've got to be deep and by yourself.

1377
01:07:53,080 --> 01:07:54,440
I get to hunt with lightning.

1378
01:07:54,440 --> 01:07:57,480
I get to hunt with misbehaving.

1379
01:07:57,480 --> 01:08:00,160
Man, she's a handful.

1380
01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:03,000
Racket, you got racket that hunts local with us.

1381
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:06,360
You got Andy Morgan's got Playboy coming up.

1382
01:08:06,360 --> 01:08:07,560
He's a young dog.

1383
01:08:07,560 --> 01:08:11,520
Colt Bailey's got his dogs that's coming up.

1384
01:08:11,520 --> 01:08:15,400
Dyke Parnell's got a female that I would pay anything for right now.

1385
01:08:15,400 --> 01:08:17,000
She's my style of dog.

1386
01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:20,200
She's a two bark tree dog and she's deadly accurate.

1387
01:08:20,200 --> 01:08:21,800
He will not sell her.

1388
01:08:21,800 --> 01:08:24,300
So that's just the way it goes.

1389
01:08:24,300 --> 01:08:25,300
We got plenty of dogs.

1390
01:08:25,300 --> 01:08:28,600
We got Beauty from Adam and Greg.

1391
01:08:28,600 --> 01:08:29,820
She's a nice dog.

1392
01:08:29,820 --> 01:08:33,640
She's coming off pups from Spot too.

1393
01:08:33,640 --> 01:08:36,520
Spot's going to be our stud dog.

1394
01:08:36,520 --> 01:08:38,840
We're going to see what happens with two litters.

1395
01:08:38,840 --> 01:08:39,840
There you go.

1396
01:08:39,840 --> 01:08:46,000
He definitely, I tell you guys, I know the listeners, the people that have listened,

1397
01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:52,000
they've heard the story a hundred times, but Spot has just been a blessing to me through

1398
01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:57,840
and through from the friendships that he has just brought together.

1399
01:08:57,840 --> 01:09:02,600
Not even just with Spot, but Spot was the reason behind Buddy, the high dollar whiskey

1400
01:09:02,600 --> 01:09:03,600
dog.

1401
01:09:03,600 --> 01:09:05,840
Without Spot, Buddy never happens.

1402
01:09:05,840 --> 01:09:07,160
Buddy never comes to me.

1403
01:09:07,160 --> 01:09:12,960
Me and Bruce Bartz never create a relationship and a brother bond that we have.

1404
01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:14,560
It all started with Spot.

1405
01:09:14,560 --> 01:09:20,440
He co-owned for Spot originally and then ended up getting out of that partnership and

1406
01:09:20,440 --> 01:09:23,560
Spot came down to you guys.

1407
01:09:23,560 --> 01:09:26,680
Our relationship became even closer.

1408
01:09:26,680 --> 01:09:29,280
Our relationship actually started with me selling Ranger.

1409
01:09:29,280 --> 01:09:31,920
Yeah, Ranger for my sister to handle.

1410
01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:32,920
Ranger's one of the old-

1411
01:09:32,920 --> 01:09:35,720
He's living his best life right now with a bunch of kids.

1412
01:09:35,720 --> 01:09:36,880
Yeah, with a bunch of kids.

1413
01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:38,400
He's a 100 pound goofball.

1414
01:09:38,400 --> 01:09:41,040
You can't ask for a funner dog to hunt.

1415
01:09:41,040 --> 01:09:46,480
Then it went to Spot and Star and the line just keeps going.

1416
01:09:46,480 --> 01:09:47,480
That's it.

1417
01:09:47,480 --> 01:09:48,480
Diamond.

1418
01:09:48,480 --> 01:09:49,480
Diamond.

1419
01:09:49,480 --> 01:09:50,480
There you go.

1420
01:09:50,480 --> 01:09:51,480
There you go.

1421
01:09:51,480 --> 01:09:52,480
There's the wild child.

1422
01:09:52,480 --> 01:09:53,480
You on her back.

1423
01:09:53,480 --> 01:09:54,480
No, the wild child.

1424
01:09:54,480 --> 01:09:55,480
Oh, Diamond.

1425
01:09:55,480 --> 01:09:56,480
Oh yeah.

1426
01:09:56,480 --> 01:09:58,480
That's the wildest one I've seen so far.

1427
01:09:58,480 --> 01:10:00,480
She lives in Fort Knox.

1428
01:10:00,480 --> 01:10:01,480
Do what?

1429
01:10:01,480 --> 01:10:02,480
She lives in Fort Knox.

1430
01:10:02,480 --> 01:10:03,480
Really?

1431
01:10:03,480 --> 01:10:04,480
Yes.

1432
01:10:04,480 --> 01:10:05,480
I cannot.

1433
01:10:05,480 --> 01:10:06,480
Her kennel is Fort Knox.

1434
01:10:06,480 --> 01:10:07,480
Really?

1435
01:10:07,480 --> 01:10:08,480
Yes.

1436
01:10:08,480 --> 01:10:09,480
She's that crazy, huh?

1437
01:10:09,480 --> 01:10:10,480
Yes.

1438
01:10:10,480 --> 01:10:11,480
She will get out of that.

1439
01:10:11,480 --> 01:10:13,440
Her grandmama was the same way.

1440
01:10:13,440 --> 01:10:18,520
Those of you that don't know, her grandmama was wild style Molly, which was directly off

1441
01:10:18,520 --> 01:10:24,160
of a wild style cruise and a old South stylish rebel female.

1442
01:10:24,160 --> 01:10:28,720
Nikki Hale won Reserve Nationals with her one year.

1443
01:10:28,720 --> 01:10:32,440
She was probably one of the nicest females I've ever been in the woods with.

1444
01:10:32,440 --> 01:10:35,760
I definitely wanted to call you guys in to sit down just for a few minutes.

1445
01:10:35,760 --> 01:10:37,560
I know y'all got a lot going on.

1446
01:10:37,560 --> 01:10:41,200
I appreciate you guys not just for this, not just for sitting down, but everything you

1447
01:10:41,200 --> 01:10:42,520
guys do for me.

1448
01:10:42,520 --> 01:10:45,760
You guys always have my back and I consider you guys family.

1449
01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:47,160
I appreciate you guys.

1450
01:10:47,160 --> 01:10:48,320
I got to go find your dad.

1451
01:10:48,320 --> 01:10:50,640
I spoke to him while I dove, but I got to go back and find him.

1452
01:10:50,640 --> 01:10:52,600
He was standing by the show ring over there.

1453
01:10:52,600 --> 01:10:56,080
Hey, I'll tell you what.

1454
01:10:56,080 --> 01:11:00,720
I think y'all see Daddy and the way he is.

1455
01:11:00,720 --> 01:11:08,320
He is a testament to no matter what your health is, he's here even though probably he shouldn't

1456
01:11:08,320 --> 01:11:09,320
be.

1457
01:11:09,320 --> 01:11:13,320
He's here pushing through it because he loves it.

1458
01:11:13,320 --> 01:11:16,200
I tell people all the time, it's not what I do, it's who I am.

1459
01:11:16,200 --> 01:11:17,200
I see it.

1460
01:11:17,200 --> 01:11:18,200
He made it.

1461
01:11:18,200 --> 01:11:19,200
It's who I am.

1462
01:11:19,200 --> 01:11:20,200
It's who I am.

1463
01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:23,560
I am who I am because of him, because of the relationships that I've built with you guys

1464
01:11:23,560 --> 01:11:24,920
and I appreciate you guys.

1465
01:11:24,920 --> 01:11:25,920
I appreciate you too.

1466
01:11:25,920 --> 01:11:34,240
Hey, thank you very much.

1467
01:11:34,240 --> 01:11:38,560
Simper Doggin and Hometown Hero Outdoors are proud to partner together to bring you the

1468
01:11:38,560 --> 01:11:41,680
Hometown Hero Outdoors Hero of the Week.

1469
01:11:41,680 --> 01:11:46,360
This week's hero is Detective Bailey Rogers with the Louisville Metro Police Department.

1470
01:11:46,360 --> 01:11:50,400
Bailey was awarded a deer hunt last year through Hometown Hero Outdoors.

1471
01:11:50,400 --> 01:11:54,440
During this hunt, Officer Rogers was successful as he worked closely with his guide to harvest

1472
01:11:54,440 --> 01:11:57,560
a mature whitetail on Indiana public land.

1473
01:11:57,560 --> 01:12:01,200
While the thrill of the hunt was something Bailey will never forget, he stated that the

1474
01:12:01,200 --> 01:12:05,360
lifelong friendships made and the camaraderie shared with people who were brought together

1475
01:12:05,360 --> 01:12:09,440
through a calling to serve others, whether that be through their community or country,

1476
01:12:09,440 --> 01:12:11,440
were the highlights of his trip.

1477
01:12:11,440 --> 01:12:16,000
Bailey, from Simper Doggin and Hometown Hero Outdoors, we would like to say thank you for

1478
01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:18,200
serving and protecting your community.

1479
01:12:18,200 --> 01:12:22,680

01:12:27,440 --> 01:12:29,400

1484
01:12:43,680 --> 01:12:50,320
Alright guys, we're back at it again and we have finally conned Mr. Jay Lash into joining

1485
01:12:50,320 --> 01:12:52,680
us today on the Simper Doggin podcast.

1486
01:12:52,680 --> 01:12:54,280
Thank you very much for joining us buddy.

1487
01:12:54,280 --> 01:12:55,280
Thank you.

1488
01:12:55,280 --> 01:12:56,280
Thank you for having me.

1489
01:12:56,280 --> 01:12:57,280
I appreciate it.

1490
01:12:57,280 --> 01:13:04,720
So Jay, me and him came to know each other through, I bought a kennel from him, went

1491
01:13:04,720 --> 01:13:09,120
down to pick it up and we started talking about dogs.

1492
01:13:09,120 --> 01:13:15,440
We kind of hit it off talking about dogs and it's kind of went ever since me and him staying

1493
01:13:15,440 --> 01:13:16,880
in contact with each other.

1494
01:13:16,880 --> 01:13:20,000
Won't you tell the listeners exactly what you make, Jay?

1495
01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:23,480
Well, as far as the kennels go, we build above ground kennels.

1496
01:13:23,480 --> 01:13:26,160
They're all skids.

1497
01:13:26,160 --> 01:13:28,480
We offer them with insulated dog houses.

1498
01:13:28,480 --> 01:13:31,360
We offer them with barrels.

1499
01:13:31,360 --> 01:13:32,960
All the housing is on the rear.

1500
01:13:32,960 --> 01:13:36,980
We offer with just 55 gallon barrels if you want them.

1501
01:13:36,980 --> 01:13:40,960
We customize them any size, any shape you want, anything you want to add to them or

1502
01:13:40,960 --> 01:13:41,960
don't like.

1503
01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:45,880
We do anything that we do, we do it different.

1504
01:13:45,880 --> 01:13:53,720
Most common size is a 4 by 8 stall and we build them from 1 up to 10 in a single run.

1505
01:13:53,720 --> 01:14:03,120
We offer electricity, lighting, put receptacles on the outside with fans.

1506
01:14:03,120 --> 01:14:04,120
Insulate the roofs on them.

1507
01:14:04,120 --> 01:14:07,680
We put folding dividers in them with weapon boxes with puppy ramps.

1508
01:14:07,680 --> 01:14:12,200
Anything anybody can come up with, we try to accommodate.

1509
01:14:12,200 --> 01:14:16,840
So it sounds like you have multiple packages that you can actually put together for these

1510
01:14:16,840 --> 01:14:17,840
kennels.

1511
01:14:17,840 --> 01:14:18,840
Yep.

1512
01:14:18,840 --> 01:14:22,040
Just try to customize them to fit everybody's needs.

1513
01:14:22,040 --> 01:14:27,320
Just like a while ago, I had an 8-hole Beagle kennel ordered, 4 by 4 stalls, 24 inches off

1514
01:14:27,320 --> 01:14:28,320
the ground where a standard is 16.

1515
01:14:28,320 --> 01:14:33,480
He wanted them a little taller with a little shorter sides for Beagles.

1516
01:14:33,480 --> 01:14:34,520
We make it happen.

1517
01:14:34,520 --> 01:14:36,400
So what got you into making these kennels?

1518
01:14:36,400 --> 01:14:40,680
Well, I just actually needed a new kennel for myself about 8 years ago.

1519
01:14:40,680 --> 01:14:45,920
I've had every kind of kennel you can think of from concrete to slab to raised wooden

1520
01:14:45,920 --> 01:14:48,960
kennels to have them tied on a chain.

1521
01:14:48,960 --> 01:14:53,040
I was already in the fab business actually on the muffler shop.

1522
01:14:53,040 --> 01:14:56,160
We built a little bit of everything.

1523
01:14:56,160 --> 01:14:59,840
At that time, Deere stands were my number one seller.

1524
01:14:59,840 --> 01:15:04,760
Duck Blinds were second, and like I said, I built my first kennel for myself.

1525
01:15:04,760 --> 01:15:05,760
I advertised them a little bit.

1526
01:15:05,760 --> 01:15:08,400
It took about a year for them to take off.

1527
01:15:08,400 --> 01:15:09,400
And now we've got them.

1528
01:15:09,400 --> 01:15:11,760
We're in South Arkansas.

1529
01:15:11,760 --> 01:15:16,840
We have delivered them as far as Connecticut, New York, Idaho.

1530
01:15:16,840 --> 01:15:17,840
You're in Indiana.

1531
01:15:17,840 --> 01:15:18,840
Yep.

1532
01:15:18,840 --> 01:15:20,880
We've got them East Coast, Gulf Coast, out West.

1533
01:15:20,880 --> 01:15:23,840
We've got them all over the country.

1534
01:15:23,840 --> 01:15:26,160
And they are by far my number one seller now.

1535
01:15:26,160 --> 01:15:27,160
Yeah.

1536
01:15:27,160 --> 01:15:29,880
One thing that I like about them is the fact that they're galvanized.

1537
01:15:29,880 --> 01:15:30,880
They're not going to rust.

1538
01:15:30,880 --> 01:15:31,880
They're not going to fall apart.

1539
01:15:31,880 --> 01:15:34,680
And the one that I'm sitting here looking at right here on the grounds at Winter Classic

1540
01:15:34,680 --> 01:15:39,320
has something that I've never seen in another kennel setup, which is a fold up divider between

1541
01:15:39,320 --> 01:15:40,400
the two of them.

1542
01:15:40,400 --> 01:15:43,760
So why don't you go into that and maybe what people can use that differences for.

1543
01:15:43,760 --> 01:15:44,760
Right.

1544
01:15:44,760 --> 01:15:47,800
You know, if you have a litter of puppies, you know, and they get big enough to get out

1545
01:15:47,800 --> 01:15:51,160
and get out and around on their own, you want to separate them from their mother.

1546
01:15:51,160 --> 01:15:52,760
You don't have to get them out of the kennel.

1547
01:15:52,760 --> 01:15:54,560
You just move them to one side.

1548
01:15:54,560 --> 01:15:57,560
You don't have to divide her back down and keep her one side.

1549
01:15:57,560 --> 01:16:01,240
Or if you get down to where you only got one dog, won't let him have full run in the kennel.

1550
01:16:01,240 --> 01:16:02,240
You know, you can.

1551
01:16:02,240 --> 01:16:03,240
Or just got two young dogs.

1552
01:16:03,240 --> 01:16:06,240
You want to let them play, get a little exercise.

1553
01:16:06,240 --> 01:16:08,360
You just let them access each side.

1554
01:16:08,360 --> 01:16:09,360
That's pretty slick.

1555
01:16:09,360 --> 01:16:11,440
I mean, that's probably the one thing that I like the most about them is that fold up

1556
01:16:11,440 --> 01:16:12,440
door.

1557
01:16:12,440 --> 01:16:13,440
Yeah.

1558
01:16:13,440 --> 01:16:14,440
Yeah.

1559
01:16:14,440 --> 01:16:15,440
They're pretty nice.

1560
01:16:15,440 --> 01:16:18,600
I'll tell you guys, it's been a hot attraction here at Winter Classic.

1561
01:16:18,600 --> 01:16:23,220
Everybody's stopping by complimenting to him on how well they look, everything that they

1562
01:16:23,220 --> 01:16:24,220
have going on.

1563
01:16:24,220 --> 01:16:26,720
And he said it's got receptacles on the outside.

1564
01:16:26,720 --> 01:16:28,360
It's got lights, light switch.

1565
01:16:28,360 --> 01:16:33,200
I mean, it's a pretty sharp looking unit and we want to commend you on your work, bud.

1566
01:16:33,200 --> 01:16:34,200
Well, I appreciate it.

1567
01:16:34,200 --> 01:16:35,200
I really do.

1568
01:16:35,200 --> 01:16:39,400
Like I said, as far as lighting goes, you know, we put all the wiring in conduit, you

1569
01:16:39,400 --> 01:16:45,280
know, where the dog cannot get to it no matter what any shape, short shape, form or fashion.

1570
01:16:45,280 --> 01:16:49,720
The only external wiring is only a very outside comes off the skid out of the conduit.

1571
01:16:49,720 --> 01:16:52,880
Just a pigtail where you can plug a 110 extension cord up to it.

1572
01:16:52,880 --> 01:16:53,880
Yes, sir.

1573
01:16:53,880 --> 01:16:56,960
So, you know, I want to just go through here and to kind of just describe this for the

1574
01:16:56,960 --> 01:16:59,280
listeners so they can kind of see what we're looking at here at Grand American.

1575
01:16:59,280 --> 01:17:02,700
We got a two run four by eight kennel all galvanized.

1576
01:17:02,700 --> 01:17:07,240
It's got two lights on the inside of it off the back of each one of them is an insulated

1577
01:17:07,240 --> 01:17:13,440
doghouse and on the front of them has two or a self automatic feeder for each each run.

1578
01:17:13,440 --> 01:17:17,680
And then it's got the five gallon bucket water bucket holders on the inside.

1579
01:17:17,680 --> 01:17:20,140
What is the pricing on a setup like this running, Jay?

1580
01:17:20,140 --> 01:17:24,240
This exact setup with the folding provider and everything else like to say is 2725.

1581
01:17:24,240 --> 01:17:26,440
Okay, what this one is.

1582
01:17:26,440 --> 01:17:29,400
And if our listeners are interested in getting a hold of you, how can they reach you?

1583
01:17:29,400 --> 01:17:33,900
They can get on Facebook, Lagal Creek blinds on Facebook.

1584
01:17:33,900 --> 01:17:34,900
We do have a website.

1585
01:17:34,900 --> 01:17:36,400
We do a lot more business off Facebook.

1586
01:17:36,400 --> 01:17:40,840
We're on Instagram or they can just look me up on Facebook, Jay Lash, Facebook, shoot

1587
01:17:40,840 --> 01:17:43,400
me a message and they'll pick you up.

1588
01:17:43,400 --> 01:17:49,720
Sir and hey guys, this Mr. Jay Lash is not just somebody that that builds kennels.

1589
01:17:49,720 --> 01:17:52,720
He's also a houndsman himself.

1590
01:17:52,720 --> 01:17:56,320
He enjoys many different avenues as far as hounds.

1591
01:17:56,320 --> 01:17:57,320
What all you got now, Jay?

1592
01:17:57,320 --> 01:17:58,320
English dogs, far as hounds go.

1593
01:17:58,320 --> 01:18:01,320
That's all I've had about the last 20 years.

1594
01:18:01,320 --> 01:18:07,560
I hunted blue ticks about the first 20 years once I was got old enough to have my own dogs.

1595
01:18:07,560 --> 01:18:15,000
And then I got down to one old dog needed something started to keep going and just happened

1596
01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:20,200
across this English dog and he did real well and I just kind of stuck with him.

1597
01:18:20,200 --> 01:18:21,200
So that's what I've got.

1598
01:18:21,200 --> 01:18:24,320
I also have squirrel dogs, two mulling spies and we've got labs.

1599
01:18:24,320 --> 01:18:27,800
So always always dogs around.

1600
01:18:27,800 --> 01:18:28,800
Yes sir.

1601
01:18:28,800 --> 01:18:36,000
And hey, that is why Mr. Jay Lash is a perfect, perfect guide to bring on our podcast because

1602
01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:38,320
we are always dogging.

1603
01:18:38,320 --> 01:18:39,320
That's right guys.

1604
01:18:39,320 --> 01:18:42,720
Well, this is going to wrap it up for the 2024 winter classic here at Semper Dog.

1605
01:18:42,720 --> 01:18:45,080
And we've got people trying to get their trailers pulled out here.

1606
01:18:45,080 --> 01:18:48,720
So I know Mr. Jay needs to load up and Basher and I need to load up and get on out of here.

1607
01:18:48,720 --> 01:18:50,800
So thank you guys for joining us this weekend.

1608
01:18:50,800 --> 01:18:51,840
It's been a good time.

1609
01:18:51,840 --> 01:18:54,440
Thank you Mr. Jay Lash for sharing your booth with us.

1610
01:18:54,440 --> 01:18:58,880
It's been a pleasure with your camaraderie and just building the relationship that we

1611
01:18:58,880 --> 01:18:59,880
have.

1612
01:18:59,880 --> 01:19:00,880
I appreciate it.

1613
01:19:00,880 --> 01:19:01,880
Thanks for having me.

1614
01:19:01,880 --> 01:19:02,880
Thanks sir.

1615
01:19:02,880 --> 01:19:26,920
Well guys, that rounds out another episode of the Semper Dog and podcast.

1616
01:19:26,920 --> 01:19:29,400
Thank you so much for joining us on this journey.

1617
01:19:29,400 --> 01:19:32,280
We really hope you guys are enjoying it as much as we are.

1618
01:19:32,280 --> 01:19:34,640
This trip down to winter classic has been fantastic.

1619
01:19:34,640 --> 01:19:38,300
Like I said earlier, we got to meet some amazing people and see some amazing hounds.

1620
01:19:38,300 --> 01:19:44,000
So we just really enjoyed ourselves and enjoyed our time spent with fellow, fellow hound lovers.

1621
01:19:44,000 --> 01:19:47,760
Make sure that you guys are going forward and supporting those who are supporting you.

1622
01:19:47,760 --> 01:19:51,620
That'd be froggy bottom outdoors and never satisfied off road guys.

1623
01:19:51,620 --> 01:19:53,760
They are here to support houndsmen.

1624
01:19:53,760 --> 01:19:56,400
They're here to support dog lovers and anything that you need.

1625
01:19:56,400 --> 01:19:58,160
Those two companies can hook you up.

1626
01:19:58,160 --> 01:20:00,000
So make sure you give them some support.

1627
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:02,800
Guys, if you wouldn't mind, please follow us on Facebook.

1628
01:20:02,800 --> 01:20:06,840

1629
01:20:06,840 --> 01:20:12,480
So if you guys want to be interactive, enjoy some more content outside of these podcasts.

1630
01:20:12,480 --> 01:20:16,560
Those two places are where you can find all of that interaction and everything that we

1631
01:20:16,560 --> 01:20:20,480

We can never say thank you enough to those guys who are serving our communities and protecting

1643
01:20:48,280 --> 01:20:49,280

1644
