All right, I'm good.

26
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,560
I was going to say you got something playing in the back.

27
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,760
Well, you know, I got to always have my computer going here so that I can see the comments

28
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,560
because for some whatever reason, the comments don't show up on my phone.

29
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:08,720
So in order to see comments, I got to have an extra screen ready to go.

30
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:13,080
What's kind of like what you said, this Facebook Live really isn't conducive.

31
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,880
No, it's not conducive at all.

32
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:16,880
Yeah.

33
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:22,880
That's like, you know, I think we proved the good Wi-Fi goes a long ways.

34
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:23,880
It does.

35
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,040
You know what else goes a long ways?

36
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:27,880
What's that?

37
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,880
Oh, oh, brisky.

38
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:31,360
Oh, my goodness.

39
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:32,360
Who?

40
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:33,360
Where?

41
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:34,360
Where else can you do?

42
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:35,360
I mean, I mean nowhere.

43
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,860
Like this is the only place you can be so comfortable and just hang out with people

44
00:02:39,860 --> 00:02:40,860
of your own.

45
00:02:40,860 --> 00:02:42,860
A good ol brisky.

46
00:02:42,860 --> 00:02:43,860
Me.

47
00:02:43,860 --> 00:02:44,860
I don't.

48
00:02:44,860 --> 00:02:45,860
I don't.

49
00:02:45,860 --> 00:02:47,600
I don't drink those nasty brisky.

50
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,880
Oh, God, I love them.

51
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,320
But you know, like you have a long, long day after.

52
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,240
Oh, I know you're talking crap.

53
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:56,400
I know.

54
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,160
I saw you at the bachelor party.

55
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:03,680
You know, a long day after work, you come home, you take care of goats, you take care

56
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:10,040
of chickens, you take care of the dogs, you we'd eat all around the house, take a shower

57
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,320
and then it's like, oh, time for Dog and Tuesday.

58
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:14,320
Here we go.

59
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,640
I got Colt walking in here shaking his head at me.

60
00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:19,240
I don't know why he's shaking his head.

61
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,960
You just never know.

62
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:29,600
I was actually on the shitter and looked at my notifications and I was like, oh, oh, shit,

63
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,240
we got Dog and Tuesday.

64
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:33,320
I know we did.

65
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:34,320
What up Shaddy?

66
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,700
Oh, Jeremy Shaddy hopping on.

67
00:03:36,700 --> 00:03:37,700
It might be a light.

68
00:03:37,700 --> 00:03:39,320
It might be a light night tonight for viewers.

69
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:40,320
I'm not sure.

70
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,840
It might be because we haven't we haven't done a dog and Tuesday in a few weeks.

71
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:48,120
We've had that we've had to miss for a few personal obligations and stuff going on.

72
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:49,960
But hey, Hannah Fallon hopped on.

73
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,960
What up, girl?

74
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,000
Oh, Hannah.

75
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,000
She was on the podcast.

76
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,200
If you guys haven't gone back and listen to that one, go check that out.

77
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:02,200
She her podcast is actually kind of at the top of the ranks as far as podcast numbers

78
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:03,200
go.

79
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:04,200
Yeah, people liked it.

80
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:05,200
They liked it a lot.

81
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,200
I jumped up there real quick.

82
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:09,400
I didn't you cut out there.

83
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:10,400
Do what I said?

84
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:15,680
I'm sure today that the last one will jump up there really quick.

85
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:16,680
Yeah.

86
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,400
So let's let's dive into that for a little bit.

87
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,600
I mean, there's a this is just kind of being off the cuff deal.

88
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,040
I don't we haven't planned nothing out here.

89
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,760
But you know, yes, Hannah, really, I'm serious.

90
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,760
You know, that has been a very, very well received podcast.

91
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:28,760
People loved it.

92
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,200
The knowledge knowledge on that podcast.

93
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:36,760
Yeah, it wasn't just three people BS and you know, I mean, Hannah comes she brings to the

94
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:43,620
table a lot of energy, a lot of knowledge, a lot, a lot of dogmanship, if that's a word,

95
00:04:43,620 --> 00:04:44,620
if you will.

96
00:04:44,620 --> 00:04:48,000
And now I got old country boy up here.

97
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,000
You got country boy?

98
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,000
Yeah, man.

99
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,000
Son, that's the blue dog I've been hunting.

100
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:59,520
Well, I mean, he's not quite 100% blue dog.

101
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,560
No, he's blue walker.

102
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,640
I mean, you told me we were talking about that the other day.

103
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,280
You said you had a blue dog up there and I never put two and two together.

104
00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:08,280
That's who it was.

105
00:05:08,280 --> 00:05:13,280
See, guys, this is how unscripted this is, is Basham and I we don't we talk some but

106
00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:17,960
not all the time and I don't even pick up what he's putting down.

107
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:28,880
Yeah, they sent him up here a little well fed.

108
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:29,880
Well fed.

109
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,400
A little well fed.

110
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:33,400
Yeah.

111
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,320
Hey, let's dive into that podcast.

112
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:36,920
We just released last Friday.

113
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:41,440
Let's talk about that because that podcast sparked a little controversy and we're just

114
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:46,880
going to go ahead and lay things out here and talk about it because this is Dog on Tuesday

115
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,800
and this is where we get to do whatever we want to do.

116
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:55,560
Yeah, it's it just brought up a big controversy between a few people and we'll let it kind

117
00:05:55,560 --> 00:06:01,440
of stay because I'm not I'm not trying to jump in the soap opera world.

118
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:09,280
There's just a lot of controversy in the in and what people perceive and what one person's

119
00:06:09,280 --> 00:06:15,160
doing and hey, that's that's not for me to judge or decide.

120
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:16,520
No, no, I hear you.

121
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,080
But we can we can get into a little deeper nat with that stepping on toes.

122
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:21,080
OK.

123
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:26,440
And the reason I say that is because another podcaster recently released a podcast, which

124
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,440
I have not had the opportunity to listen to yet.

125
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:29,640
I need to do that.

126
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,040
But I do know what it's all about.

127
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:38,560
And it was Steve Fielder over there on the Gone to the Dogs podcast released a podcast.

128
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:45,280
I believe it was about a week ago and I believe it was titled The Elephant in the Room.

129
00:06:45,280 --> 00:06:49,600
And by reading his description of it, it was talking all about some of the things that

130
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,200
happen in these competition coon hunts.

131
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:57,800
They kind of get swept under the rug, kind of go unnoticed, kind of like this instance

132
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,720
sparks some controversy.

133
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,580
And some people get away with it.

134
00:07:01,580 --> 00:07:02,580
Is it ethical?

135
00:07:02,580 --> 00:07:03,580
Is it not ethical?

136
00:07:03,580 --> 00:07:06,120
Like I said, I haven't listened to the podcast yet, so I can't talk on 100 percent.

137
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,880
But I feel like the podcast that we released this weekend kind of sparked some of that

138
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:14,540
stuff where there is some stuff being thrown around where people were, you know, maybe

139
00:07:14,540 --> 00:07:19,000
questioning some of the ethics that's happening in a couple of these state races.

140
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:23,440
Maybe they were questioning how some of these dogs are winning so much money.

141
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,440
And if one person is questioning it, I'm sure there's a bunch of people questioning it.

142
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:27,440
You know what I mean?

143
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:28,440
No, I agree.

144
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,720
And like I said, I'm not going to throw shade.

145
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:31,720
I'm not going to point names.

146
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,200
I'm not going to step on any toes.

147
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,100
But it does raise red flags.

148
00:07:35,100 --> 00:07:37,000
It does bring up questions.

149
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:42,760
It does make you wonder, should there be a system in which these kennel clubs can hold

150
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:49,400
people accountable and go back and I wouldn't say you can take away any money, but they

151
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:55,960
need there needs to be some investigation to keep things in check.

152
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,480
How would you perceive that happen?

153
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:07,680
Because I'm because I tell you what, I'll throw a scenario at you and you tell me how

154
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,160
you would investigate.

155
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,360
Okay, don't let me.

156
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:13,440
Okay.

157
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:22,600
Bryce Matthews has a professional kennel club in Peru, Indiana, and he hosted on Tuesday

158
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,880
today.

159
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,320
Nobody shows up.

160
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:37,480
So Nikki Colton and Owen and Bryce have four dogs that they enter in this said hunt.

161
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:44,760
Everybody has a PKC number and every dog's got a PKC number and Bryce and wheels wins

162
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:45,760
that hunt.

163
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:50,120
What type of investigation are you running on that?

164
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,400
You know, it's hard to say.

165
00:08:52,400 --> 00:09:00,560
And I chuckle at your scenario that you throw out because it's it's realistic is for you

166
00:09:00,560 --> 00:09:01,560
for you.

167
00:09:01,560 --> 00:09:04,800
It is is you know, we would all have numbers.

168
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,880
We would all have dogs that we could enter and take a picture with.

169
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:12,280
I don't know the answer to that question and that's being very honest.

170
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:13,640
I don't know the right way.

171
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:14,800
It would take some brainstorming.

172
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,820
It would take more than off the cuff, you know, try to answer that.

173
00:09:18,820 --> 00:09:25,000
But there are scenarios that are going on like that, you know, and I think common sense

174
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,880
goes a long freaking way with how this works.

175
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,640
Like I said, I'm not throwing because I don't know.

176
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:36,680
I'm not in Kentucky and I'll just throw the name because I mean everybody that everybody

177
00:09:36,680 --> 00:09:43,360
knows Josh, you know, Josh Craig's got 7001 in PKC and I'm not sitting here saying he

178
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,520
did win it rightfully.

179
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:53,440
There's a lot of people saying he did, but all I'm saying is is I mean seven thousand

180
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,600
in a state race.

181
00:09:55,600 --> 00:10:05,520
I mean, but with that said, there are $105 hunt Friday and Saturday night at 220 every

182
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,340
time you win.

183
00:10:07,340 --> 00:10:08,560
But that's a lot of cash.

184
00:10:08,560 --> 00:10:09,560
Yeah, it is.

185
00:10:09,560 --> 00:10:10,560
So take 220.

186
00:10:10,560 --> 00:10:15,480
You know, take 220 divided or 7000 divided by 220.

187
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,160
You know, there's a ton.

188
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:20,160
Let's see here.

189
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,160
Take a page out of our Starlin's book.

190
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,680
All right, let me read it out loud.

191
00:10:25,680 --> 00:10:29,560
So Jeremy Sherry commented, he said, take a page out of Norm Starlin's book.

192
00:10:29,560 --> 00:10:34,800
If there is only one cast at the hunt, go Facebook live so that there is at least proof

193
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:39,180
that they hunted in the right dog one.

194
00:10:39,180 --> 00:10:47,240
So that works in some places and some places it don't, because I think if anything, pro

195
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:53,760
sport has showed us, especially with like cane media and them trying to do everything

196
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,120
live.

197
00:10:55,120 --> 00:11:02,560
How many times has their lives not been lives because there's no and then you're requiring

198
00:11:02,560 --> 00:11:04,440
people to have a Facebook page.

199
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:05,720
Yeah, I get it.

200
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,840
So hey, hey, these clubs that wouldn't work.

201
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,480
I'm going to jump in real quick and we're going to go down a quick rabbit hole.

202
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,560
Then I'm going to dig myself back out and get back on topic.

203
00:11:14,560 --> 00:11:16,560
But Travis Craney just hopped on here.

204
00:11:16,560 --> 00:11:19,160
He's watching and I know you don't know that name, but Travis Craney.

205
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:20,160
I went to college with him.

206
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:21,160
He great dude.

207
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:25,680
One of my best buds in college and a quick funny coon story coon hunting story.

208
00:11:25,680 --> 00:11:29,320
Me him and Colton Britton were out hunting one night.

209
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:33,360
We're hunting Ruger and Hank and Travis gets on the phone.

210
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:39,080
He gets a phone call from a significant other who was not so happy that he was out coon

211
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:40,080
hunting late at night.

212
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,440
And the two dogs, they treat this coon right now.

213
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,060
Travis, he's a big man.

214
00:11:46,060 --> 00:11:47,360
He's a hefty fella.

215
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:52,240
He's got a mountain beard going on and he whips out this six shooter off the side of

216
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:58,240
his belt and without missing a beat on the phone, he whips those old iron sights up in

217
00:11:58,240 --> 00:11:59,240
the tree.

218
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:04,640
And that six shooter knocks that coon out, the dogs get on the coon and he just went

219
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,400
right back on to his conversation.

220
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,240
Never missed a beat.

221
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,160
I will never forget it.

222
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:12,160
It was hilarious.

223
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,180
I was one of my favorite members.

224
00:12:14,180 --> 00:12:15,440
So just seeing his name pop up there.

225
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,520
I haven't talked to Travis in probably six months.

226
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,160
So buddy, I'm glad to see you on here.

227
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:20,960
I hope you're doing well, but all right.

228
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,200
I'm digging out of that rabbit hole that cracked me up.

229
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:29,120
So you know, Hannah just said no service in a lot of places and I agree there's not service

230
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:30,520
in a lot of places.

231
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,680
That is a legitimate thing.

232
00:12:32,680 --> 00:12:36,080
Hey guys, guys, it's on here listening.

233
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:37,080
Hey, comment.

234
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,440
You know, as you can see, we're going to read the comments.

235
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,080
We're going to hop right into this.

236
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:48,360
And for those that watch this afterwards, hey, by no means is this any shade whatsoever.

237
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:53,000
I'm not jumping on the wagon of anybody.

238
00:12:53,000 --> 00:13:01,040
I mean, it is what it is at this point in time and all honesty, if PKC don't care, who

239
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:02,040
does it really matter?

240
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:03,200
You know what I mean?

241
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,320
But it is what it is.

242
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:15,520
The only thing that I could say that the only way PKC could even try to regulate any of

243
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:20,900
it is what Tom Wilson is doing in North Carolina.

244
00:13:20,900 --> 00:13:26,920
And that's anything less than 16 dogs has to have a pitcher.

245
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,600
But I mean, even then, it's like the scenario I gave you.

246
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,040
But you get a picture of four dogs.

247
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:32,960
So why does 16 matter?

248
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:34,320
But no, true.

249
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:39,960
But there are clubs out there that will make make up to cast so they don't have to send

250
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:40,960
in a pitcher.

251
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:41,960
You know what I mean?

252
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:48,280
All I'm saying is, is I feel I feel, I'll be honest, I'm split.

253
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,200
I'm split.

254
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,000
And here's why I'm split on that.

255
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,640
If Bryce Matthews goes to the club, right?

256
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:57,640
Yep.

257
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,000
And nobody shows up to hunt that hunt.

258
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:05,040
Why is it Bryce Matthews fault that nobody showed up?

259
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:06,320
Why can't he?

260
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:12,800
You've got three other people in your family that would hunt or two other Nikki and Colton

261
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:13,800
right?

262
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,080
Go out for pleasure hunting whoever wins gets it.

263
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,720
I mean, why as long as you do hunt?

264
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,720
Yeah, I get it.

265
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,160
But okay, so here's I'm gonna play devil's ad to get on that one.

266
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:33,360
So at that point, you are I got two scenarios here.

267
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,680
At that point, number one, you're losing money.

268
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,520
Like you are paying.

269
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:45,440
Oh, I p case you're paying a kennel club to just just to put a few dollars on the dollar.

270
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:51,160
Yeah, just to put a few dollars on that dog's lifetime earnings, which did he really win?

271
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:52,160
No.

272
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:56,200
Okay, I get it.

273
00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:01,760
The problem with that is that I just had a thought.

274
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:02,760
That's scary.

275
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:03,760
That's scary.

276
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:04,760
Good one.

277
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:05,760
You better knock the car.

278
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:07,160
You better dust the cobwebs off that brain.

279
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:08,840
It doesn't think much.

280
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,160
You ready?

281
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,400
And this this this one isn't going to be a popular opinion.

282
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,640
Oh, boy.

283
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,480
This is not gonna be a popular opinion.

284
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:22,360
So you're from this area, right?

285
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,800
Just in this area, we have Princeton.

286
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,240
We have legality.

287
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,320
We have grand view.

288
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,020
Washington.

289
00:15:32,020 --> 00:15:33,680
We have Washington.

290
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,240
We have Elnora Henderson.

291
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:36,720
We have El City.

292
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:37,800
We have Henderson.

293
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:38,800
We have Hartford.

294
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:40,080
We have Madisonville.

295
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,240
We have junction.

296
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:43,240
We have Claremont.

297
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,680
We have Shelburne.

298
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:53,400
What if you pick the club with the most entries and not another club within 60 miles can be

299
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,240
formed?

300
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:57,240
That's already a thing.

301
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:58,240
No, it's not.

302
00:15:58,240 --> 00:15:59,240
Yeah, it is.

303
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,500
You know, when you go to form a club, yeah, yeah, yeah.

304
00:16:01,500 --> 00:16:04,680
You can't form a club within so many miles of another club.

305
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,160
No, no.

306
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:07,840
When did it change?

307
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:13,360
Tell City, Grandview and Tennyson are within 20 minutes of each other.

308
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,960
They're supposed to be with they're supposed to be 30 30 miles in between them.

309
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:17,960
I'm 90 percent positive.

310
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:23,680
If you go in the rule book and read it on how to form a club, hey, that might be what

311
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,680
the rule book says.

312
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,480
That's not what happens.

313
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,760
Yeah, I mean, I get it.

314
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:31,760
But I don't know.

315
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:32,760
I don't know how to fight it.

316
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,600
But it did spark some controversy like and it makes you wonder.

317
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,560
OK, now I'm also going to play another role.

318
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,560
Hannah says it's supposed to be, but they don't follow it.

319
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,640
Yeah, it's supposed to be, but they don't follow it.

320
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:45,640
And they don't follow it.

321
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:53,360
I mean, Henderson and Henderson and Madisonville are 30 minutes from 25 minutes from each other.

322
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,880
So here's here's one thing.

323
00:16:55,880 --> 00:17:02,440
So I'm torn on my kennel clubs on which ones that I if somebody asked me which which kennel

324
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:03,960
club do you prefer?

325
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,280
I don't know how to answer that, which one I prefer, because I like things about all

326
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:08,280
of them.

327
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:09,280
Right.

328
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:15,120
So I love I love PKC because I like to take home a little bit of the chance to take home

329
00:17:15,120 --> 00:17:16,840
a little bit of money at the end of the night.

330
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:18,520
OK, I like that.

331
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:22,040
I like seeing that dollar sign on the papers rather than just a title.

332
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:31,320
I like that in UKC, though, what I really do like is the structure that comes with it

333
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,680
and the prestige that comes with it.

334
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:39,340
So you go to a UKC hunt and that son of a gun is structured.

335
00:17:39,340 --> 00:17:41,020
There are deadlines.

336
00:17:41,020 --> 00:17:42,480
There are rules.

337
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:48,440
There are there are things in place that are followed to a T. I like that.

338
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:56,040
And I think that if PKC could bring some of that same structure, it would help out a lot

339
00:17:56,040 --> 00:18:00,200
because sometimes things seem to run amok over there.

340
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:01,200
You know what I mean?

341
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:02,200
Yeah.

342
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:03,480
I don't know.

343
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,720
I mean, so I feel divided.

344
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:11,560
Jason Smith says they're not supposed to host a hunt on the same night close to each other.

345
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:15,960
Well, that goes right back into another deal of there's too many hunts.

346
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:17,220
There's hunts every night.

347
00:18:17,220 --> 00:18:21,880
You know, that's I'll give you a quick example.

348
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,160
And Zach Vaught even brought it up.

349
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,920
There was a hundred and five dollar hunt.

350
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:28,760
Or I think it was.

351
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:34,980
I don't know the exact amount, but there was there was a hunt in Lebanon and then the pro

352
00:18:34,980 --> 00:18:37,240
classic or something in this very same night.

353
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:42,440
They had an open event like 20 minutes away.

354
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,760
So I mean, it's just it.

355
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:51,320
And then with UKC on top of it, how many times, especially down here, how many times has Madison

356
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:55,640
ville had a PKC hunt and Hartford's got a UKC hunt the same night?

357
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,160
It happens all.

358
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:58,320
There's just too many hunts.

359
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,760
But that's what I was getting at with.

360
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:09,600
I think the numbers for all the hunts would come up if they went back to you got to have

361
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:13,080
so many miles between each club.

362
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:20,520
And the way to do away with those clubs is strictly say, hey, whichever clubs, you know,

363
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:21,520
get the most entries.

364
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:25,680
Hey, those are the ones that we're going to a lot charter.

365
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:33,080
And the more like the problem is, is you know what we're sitting here talking about our

366
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:38,320
hunch where nobody shows up right and why nobody's showing up, nobody's showing up

367
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:39,640
because there's too many hunts.

368
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:40,640
Right.

369
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:41,720
OK, I got a question here.

370
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:42,880
Wesley Woodward just joined us.

371
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,000
Wes, I'm going to ask for your opinion on this, so please comment.

372
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:47,200
And this is halfway facetious.

373
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,760
I think I know the answer, but I'm going to ask it anyways.

374
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:50,880
You are not a coon hunter.

375
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,640
Wes Woodyard is a bear hunter down in Virginia.

376
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:59,320
Wes runs with Heath Hyatt, Forest, all those guys that bash when I went hunting with Wes.

377
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:00,760
I know you're a little late to the game here.

378
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:06,120
So just a quick recap, we're talking about hunts where maybe people don't show up and

379
00:20:06,120 --> 00:20:12,480
some guys are forming a cast, taking a picture and putting money on their dog's lifetime

380
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,300
earnings for the state race.

381
00:20:15,300 --> 00:20:21,660
If you as a bear hunter, you guys don't keep track of money, one, you don't keep track

382
00:20:21,660 --> 00:20:25,480
of titles, you don't keep track of any of that.

383
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:29,640
If you're a bear hunter in the mountains of West Virginia, or in the mountains of Virginia,

384
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:35,360
how many times do you think that people, you know, maybe go out hunting by themselves like,

385
00:20:35,360 --> 00:20:39,480
oh yeah, you know, we struck and we struck and treat two bears today.

386
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,780
Like do you think that that's as big of a thing in the people who are not competing

387
00:20:42,780 --> 00:20:45,200
with with earnings and titles and money?

388
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,560
Is that is that a big thing down where you guys are at?

389
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:52,400
I'm just curious because it seems to be a growing thing in the competition side of things.

390
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:57,840
I want a non hunter or a non competition hunters opinion on that one.

391
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:02,580
And just kind of circling back while he's while he's typing up his answer.

392
00:21:02,580 --> 00:21:07,200
I don't think I mean, I don't think PKC is doing a bad job.

393
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:12,200
Like, I mean, they've put a lot of structure in all of this.

394
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:18,720
I think it's it's not up to PKC to regulate the rules and regulations that happens at

395
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,600
every single one of these clubs.

396
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,840
It's up to each and every one of the individual clubs.

397
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:29,160
So I don't I don't feel that because I mean, if you really want to be honest, I mean, how

398
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,440
many people are we talking about?

399
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:36,760
You know, for like 10 people, you know, you've got your your state presidents, your national

400
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,920
directors, you've got Shane and Roger Dale.

401
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:45,800
I mean, I mean, how can 12 people regulate everybody in that state?

402
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:50,960
You know, how can one person from Kentucky regulate?

403
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:52,180
You can't.

404
00:21:52,180 --> 00:21:58,480
So it's up to each individual club to make sure that it's being held to a certain point

405
00:21:58,480 --> 00:21:59,480
to a certain standard.

406
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,080
Yeah, I mean, I agree.

407
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,960
And maybe maybe the way that I worded that wasn't correct.

408
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:08,440
But I just do really like how, you know, OK, like, I guess what I was getting at is like

409
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,160
PKC, they have a deadline of nine o'clock.

410
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:12,160
Right.

411
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:17,680
If you call at 850 and say, hey, I'm going to be 30 minutes late, they have to hold the

412
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:18,680
hunt.

413
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:22,280
Everybody has to put their life on hold for you running late.

414
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,840
And that drives me nuts.

415
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,320
That's the Bobby Burton effect that drives me nuts.

416
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,000
A deadline is a deadline.

417
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:32,600
Like let's have some structure here.

418
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:33,600
Eight o'clock means eight o'clock.

419
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,120
It doesn't mean eight thirty.

420
00:22:36,120 --> 00:22:38,600
I love Bobby, but everybody knows it's true.

421
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,720
Bobby Bobby's notorious for rolling in 30 minutes an hour late.

422
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:43,720
Yeah.

423
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:44,720
All right.

424
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:49,040
So Wes says he says we could care less, catch game and have fun.

425
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,560
To me, the competition side of it all takes the fun away.

426
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:56,420
I came I came in late and was caught off guard here.

427
00:22:56,420 --> 00:22:58,480
But maybe this is what you're looking for.

428
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,280
Yeah, Wes, it is.

429
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:04,720
And I was wondering, you know, if you know, we do this for the fun of it.

430
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,000
Yes, but we also like to have those titles and we like to have that money won here.

431
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,560
And I don't mean to pitch on the spot, but I didn't mean to do that.

432
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:17,160
But but I did want a non-competition hunters perspective on that, because, you know, if

433
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,080
I think there's a lot of the Coon Hunters, if you took the competition side away from

434
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,400
it, buddy, I think they quit.

435
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:23,920
I'm dead serious about that.

436
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:24,920
I think a lot of them would.

437
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,920
What do you think, Basham?

438
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,040
Yeah.

439
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:38,680
I don't think that I would hunt near as much if it wasn't competition.

440
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,400
You know, I'm a competitive I'm a competitive person.

441
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:43,640
I tell people this all the time.

442
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,580
Mark Atkins hears this all the time.

443
00:23:45,580 --> 00:23:50,580
And that is pleasure hunting is not fun to me.

444
00:23:50,580 --> 00:23:51,580
It's not fun.

445
00:23:51,580 --> 00:23:52,680
It's work.

446
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:58,100
I'm out there training, training, training, training, training, training, training.

447
00:23:58,100 --> 00:24:04,680
When I go to a competition, that's fun for me because what can you do in a competition?

448
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:05,960
Nothing.

449
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:10,040
That is pleasurable because then it's just turn your dog loose and call it for what it

450
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:11,040
does.

451
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:16,160
Whereas when I'm out there pleasure hunting, my person, I can't I can't do it because

452
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:20,480
the minute my dog does something dumb, I'm not the type of person I can't just let it

453
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,320
happen like now I've got to fix it.

454
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:23,320
Now I've got to work on this.

455
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:24,880
Now I've got to work on that.

456
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:30,400
So for me, pleasure hunting, you've seen that you've pleasure hunted with me and you're

457
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,040
like, this ain't fun.

458
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:33,040
Right.

459
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:37,480
Now, the other side of that, that I find interesting, I got to stand up here.

460
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:38,480
Sorry.

461
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,480
The other side of that that I that I find interesting is that, you know, so Wes and

462
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:46,800
them and a lot of these big game hunters, not just in Virginia, but in a lot of other

463
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:51,760
states, they do not get the opportunity to hunt year round.

464
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:56,240
You know, they are hunting like right now their season, their training season just came

465
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:57,240
in.

466
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:58,240
They've got August and September for training.

467
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,080
And then they've got December kill season.

468
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:02,120
That's it.

469
00:25:02,120 --> 00:25:07,040
Those guys are taking care of, you know, packs of dogs, whether that range from three to

470
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:08,460
12.

471
00:25:08,460 --> 00:25:12,400
And they're taking care of them for nine months out of the year that they don't even get to

472
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:13,400
train.

473
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,600
So they, you know, they get a nice break there.

474
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:23,160
And Wes says everyone here is competing against the time to make their dogs, their dogs, not

475
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:24,160
other folks.

476
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:25,160
And I agree with that.

477
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:29,960
So and Jason Smith says pleasure hunting a competition dog is not fun.

478
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:30,960
Lol.

479
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:31,960
But a meat dog is a blast.

480
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,320
And I'll agree with that, Jason.

481
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:35,720
I'll agree with that.

482
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,440
But I also think that hold on, I'm not done yet.

483
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:42,440
Don't you interrupt me, son of a gun.

484
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:47,920
I do think that, you know, you know, I've been doing this for, for 10 years now and

485
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,600
the longest stint that I've ever taken off, I took a three month stand and that was whenever

486
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,800
I had a early twenties crisis that you helped me through.

487
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:56,000
Thank goodness.

488
00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:01,300
But you know, other than that, you are, you are hunting year round.

489
00:26:01,300 --> 00:26:02,700
There is no break.

490
00:26:02,700 --> 00:26:07,480
There is always the next hunt, the next weekend, the next month, there's a big hunt.

491
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:12,560
There is always something to get ready for and at some point it just wears on you, you

492
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,080
know, it does.

493
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:16,080
I'll be honest.

494
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:20,840
I was telling somebody who was I telling Doug, Doug Schultz.

495
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:26,560
I was talking to Doug Schultz and Kevin Scott from Tennyson.

496
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,480
The other day I went to Tennyson club and went to a hunt.

497
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:30,480
I was talking to them.

498
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:31,480
I told them, you know what?

499
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,280
I would love to find.

500
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:39,160
I would love to find about 15, 16 year old boy that was just around my house.

501
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,080
That was just ate up with it.

502
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:46,840
I'd probably quit competition and just run him up and down the road.

503
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:47,840
Just be the truck man.

504
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:49,960
Like you're going to be at automobiles.

505
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,240
Just be truck man.

506
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,120
Just because I agree with you.

507
00:26:54,120 --> 00:26:58,480
Like I've been doing this since I was eight, nine years old.

508
00:26:58,480 --> 00:26:59,480
Right.

509
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:05,000
I've been pushing this hard since I was about 15, 16 years old.

510
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:10,240
So I mean, it's just on to the next, on to the next, on to the next.

511
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,240
Go, go, go, go, go.

512
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:16,600
And to be honest with you, you know, like I said, me and Mark talked about this before.

513
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:17,600
There's a difference.

514
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:18,760
Even Brian said it.

515
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,540
There's a difference between pleasure hunting and competition hunting.

516
00:27:21,540 --> 00:27:26,880
Back when I was a kid, I believe I enjoyed it more when I was a kid.

517
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:28,440
Whereas now I'm just addicted to it.

518
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:32,520
I mean, it's like, I'll be laying here saying, I'm not going hunting.

519
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:33,520
I'm not going hunting.

520
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,320
As soon as the sun goes down, guess what I'm doing?

521
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:37,320
I'm going hunting.

522
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:38,320
Right.

523
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,320
And it's, and I'll the whole way to the woods.

524
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,960
I'm telling you, I don't want to go hunting, but I'm going hunting.

525
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:47,280
But I believe I enjoyed it more, but the camaraderie was more.

526
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:51,680
So I used to go with every dog with tree on the same tree together.

527
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:57,520
You know, my dad, my uncle, and you know, a buddy would go and we'd have four people

528
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,560
and we'd start a fire and cook hot dogs.

529
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,760
Well, like it was, it was a camaraderie thing.

530
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:12,360
Whereas now Bryce and me, you and, uh, you know, Colton go hunting together most 99%

531
00:28:12,360 --> 00:28:13,360
of the time.

532
00:28:13,360 --> 00:28:14,360
What's going to happen?

533
00:28:14,360 --> 00:28:15,360
His dog is going to go this way.

534
00:28:15,360 --> 00:28:16,360
Your dog is going to go that way.

535
00:28:16,360 --> 00:28:21,200
My dog is going to go behind us and we're all going to split up and go to our dog street.

536
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:26,400
So that's why nobody hunts together anymore because we're all in the competitive world.

537
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:31,280
And so we want our dogs to be separated and in return we become separated and then there's

538
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:32,640
no point in hunting together.

539
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:36,880
And then that's how, that's how all these clubs broke apart.

540
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:37,880
I agree.

541
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,160
So I'm going to come back to that after I read these comments here.

542
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:43,880
Hannah Hannah falling says, I haven't calm hunted in years, but I enjoy the pleasure

543
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:45,560
hunting more than the hunts.

544
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,960
It's more so the enjoyment of hearing the dogs and getting to the tree and seeing a

545
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,400
coon, just something that takes me back.

546
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,440
Like people did this to survive.

547
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,560
And then Mark Adkin says, he says, but it's in your blood.

548
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:56,880
You just can't give it up.

549
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:58,640
And I agree with both of those.

550
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:01,120
The thing, and I agree with a hundred percent with what you said.

551
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,820
So that really hit me last winter.

552
00:29:03,820 --> 00:29:07,400
There was one night that me and there's a bunch of us out there.

553
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:15,480
It was myself, dual Murphy, John shroud, uh, Johnny Watkins.

554
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,060
And I think there was one other person.

555
00:29:18,060 --> 00:29:19,060
We all went hunting.

556
00:29:19,060 --> 00:29:20,060
There was five dogs.

557
00:29:20,060 --> 00:29:21,060
Okay.

558
00:29:21,060 --> 00:29:23,280
We turned loose in the same spot.

559
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,520
We had everybody's dogs on our, uh, on our handhelds.

560
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,280
They all went five different ways.

561
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:30,800
Nobody treated together.

562
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:32,720
Nobody saw each other for an hour and a half.

563
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,680
You're watching what everybody else is doing on your Garmin.

564
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:37,060
We meet back at the truck.

565
00:29:37,060 --> 00:29:38,380
We drive to another spot.

566
00:29:38,380 --> 00:29:39,380
You do the same thing.

567
00:29:39,380 --> 00:29:43,880
And by the end, you know, you're 10, you're 20 minutes into it and you're sitting there

568
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,840
listening to dogs treat, but you have nobody to talk to.

569
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:52,320
You have nobody to just BS with and, and catch up with and that man, they ran a good track.

570
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,360
There's, there is no camaraderie.

571
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:59,440
It's you meet the truck, you turn a dog loose, you get back to the truck and you're there.

572
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:00,440
That's it.

573
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,480
You know, there was five guys out there and we didn't hang out with each other.

574
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:08,400
And I think that is why I so, so, so much enjoy every year going down to Virginia and

575
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:13,360
bear hunting with those guys because the camaraderie is second to none.

576
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:17,120
You're chit chatting back and forth on the radio, you know, and some people don't like

577
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:22,120
to hear a lot of chatter on the radio, but I do because it's just like, Hey, you know,

578
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:23,120
there's people there.

579
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,680
Like, like the camaraderie is felt.

580
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:26,680
People are jabbing each other.

581
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:27,800
They're giving each other crap.

582
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:29,740
You're listening to good dog work.

583
00:30:29,740 --> 00:30:31,440
You're running around the roads.

584
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,240
Same thing when I go down to Kentucky and go run them coyote dogs with Dalton Hillard

585
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:35,240
and them.

586
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,440
I mean, it's, it's not, it's not a competition.

587
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:43,120
The only thing you're competing against is the game out there in the woods in the field.

588
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:44,320
So quick on that.

589
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:49,640
The first time I went bear hunting with them, I felt like we were like an old warship battle

590
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:50,640
game.

591
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,680
Like, Hey, the enemy is going over the hill.

592
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:54,480
Hey, cut them off at this road.

593
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:59,880
And I mean, you've got like 10 guys on the radio and I mean, it's a team effort.

594
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:05,240
Like you've got like 30 dogs and 10 guys and it's, it's a team effort.

595
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:11,600
So the camaraderie that is there, you know, you've got the story of, you know, uh, he's

596
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:17,040
sliding this freaking truck sideways, you know, and there's a 40 foot drop off and you've

597
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:18,800
got things to talk about.

598
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:24,360
Because you know, everybody and their brother wants the next world champion and we're all

599
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:28,440
trying to train our dogs to be that competition dog.

600
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,080
And it's, it's just not the same.

601
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:35,480
I'll tell you, to be honest with you, everybody knows that, you know, I've got buddy, I've

602
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,600
got spot, I've got star.

603
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:43,320
I mean, all nice dogs, all nice dogs, but there's a dog that was sent for me to hunt

604
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:49,040
and I'm working on about a month and a half of, of hunting her.

605
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:52,240
And I've told many, I'd own this dog in a heartbeat.

606
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:53,840
Her name's Jane.

607
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:55,660
She won the night champion category.

608
00:31:55,660 --> 00:31:59,720
She's Shane Coons dog from Eastern Kentucky.

609
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:07,240
And in that dog, I see the pleasure hunting style dog that I used to love.

610
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:08,760
She'll go backpack another dog.

611
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:10,960
And that's something that I've been trying to break.

612
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:12,520
She's seven years old though.

613
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:16,480
I, but I've been trying to help him out to get her ready for autumn oaks and bust her

614
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,640
ass for back and dogs.

615
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:20,760
But she's just a straight up condo.

616
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:26,760
When she looks up, she's typically, I think right now she's something like 50 for 58 and

617
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:28,760
like six weeks of hunting.

618
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:29,760
That's pretty good.

619
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:34,680
I mean, I mean, she's, she's, she's a coon dog and she's pleasurable.

620
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,800
You ain't got to put a leash on her.

621
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:37,800
I can call her off.

622
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:39,440
Like she is a dog.

623
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,120
When you go down there and stand in front of that kennel and you look down there, you're

624
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:47,400
like, man, I want to take that dog.

625
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:48,520
And she's just one of those dogs.

626
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:51,200
She reminds you of what it is fun.

627
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:55,600
And like I said, I think we all get so caught up in training dogs.

628
00:32:55,600 --> 00:33:01,800
I mean, hell, you remember the last time me and you went, you put, I think it was a lit,

629
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:02,800
was it Lizzie?

630
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,520
I think you threw Lizzie back into the box.

631
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:06,520
He said, I'm done.

632
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:09,120
I said, no, man, we can't go home on your life.

633
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:10,120
I'm done.

634
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:11,120
Yeah.

635
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:12,120
Yeah, absolutely.

636
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:15,100
Hey, uh, your internet is getting a little slow.

637
00:33:15,100 --> 00:33:18,040
So I'm going to catch up on a couple of comments here and let, try and let your internet refresh

638
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:19,040
here.

639
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:23,400
Earl Hogwarts says, man, if this ain't the truth, I love, love, love the meat dogs.

640
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,560
The competition is fun in small clubs because it feels like a brotherhood.

641
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,100
That's a little better.

642
00:33:29,100 --> 00:33:32,560
He says it feels like a brotherhood, but the bigger competition hunts felt like it was

643
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,240
such a big cutthroat situation.

644
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:40,360
Josh Davidson comment and said, jealousy has ruined a lot of people hunting together.

645
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:45,880
Benji Kaufman, I used to go with six guys and a black and tan and I had a lot more fun

646
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:47,600
than I do now.

647
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,720
Kyle short, he says, taking a break isn't a bad thing.

648
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:56,280
The way I look at it, when I start to not give it 100%, I lay them up a month and don't

649
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:57,280
think about hunting.

650
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:00,440
And when I get back at it, I'm good for 10 months.

651
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:04,520
Some of the best competent competitors in all sports take months off.

652
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:05,520
Just his opinion.

653
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:06,520
How I like that.

654
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:07,520
That's a good way to think about it.

655
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:09,240
Um, you know, let's see here.

656
00:34:09,240 --> 00:34:10,240
I lost it.

657
00:34:10,240 --> 00:34:17,360
Because Chad and I take turns turning dogs loose that a way we can, uh, stay together.

658
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,240
Not a bad way to do things either.

659
00:34:19,240 --> 00:34:23,560
Mark Atkins, man, the comments keep rolling in and they're jumping around on me.

660
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:24,640
I know this is a good one.

661
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:26,640
I'm loving, I love this kind of interaction.

662
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:30,000
I want every dog and Tuesday to be like this.

663
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:36,120
Mark Atkins, Mark Atkins says, unless you walk the same tree and walk your wife to death,

664
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:40,400
you'll go well.

665
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,360
Oh man, Wes, he just starts laughing.

666
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:46,640
He knows what the kind of nonsense and buffoonery goes on down there.

667
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:48,320
Earl Hoggard says, don't get me wrong.

668
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,200
I have met some incredible people in the competition world.

669
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,640
Steven needs to come to North Carolina.

670
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:57,720
Garrett Stanley, nobody likes it, but one that covers and gets some of their own are

671
00:34:57,720 --> 00:35:00,280
the absolute hardest dogs to beat.

672
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:01,440
That is a true statement, Garrett.

673
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,520
I mean, that is a true statement.

674
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:08,640
You know, all of yours and some of his will get you there most times.

675
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:15,600
And Wes says, I admire that you guys are dedicated enough to do it, but you said for us, it's

676
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:21,440
about the friendships, all the kids together, all the guys that are just having a good time.

677
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:26,440
Sure there's guys that have to stand out that have standout dogs, but here they're humble

678
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:28,920
and let everyone join in.

679
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:30,080
That is, that is another thing.

680
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:34,800
You know, with the bear hunting and the coyote hunting and stuff is that the kids can be

681
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:41,160
involved a lot easier, or I should say easier, at a lot younger age than I think they can

682
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:44,960
at the coon hunts because it's done during the day.

683
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:46,720
You know, they're awake.

684
00:35:46,720 --> 00:35:49,780
Step number one, they're not tuckered out in the back seat.

685
00:35:49,780 --> 00:35:52,640
Step number two, they can ride around and they can look at those drive tracks and they

686
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:57,040
can see what's going on and they can, you know, they can be in their car seats and hang

687
00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:01,280
out the window, their heads out the window a little bit, you know, I love when Wes posts

688
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,440
the snap chats, his son, his son, he got that little toy gun.

689
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:08,640
He's, he's ready to go all the time in the truck, you know, the coon hunting.

690
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,800
Some of the kids are scared of the dark nine times out of 10, they're asleep by the time

691
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,280
they get to the woods.

692
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:16,520
There's usually just one dog rather than a bunch of dogs.

693
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:20,400
You know, it, there's, I think it's easier for the bear hunting kids to get involved

694
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:21,800
earlier.

695
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,520
You know this with me, coon hunters live on those sleep.

696
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:25,520
Yeah.

697
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:28,320
I don't know how you do it.

698
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:29,920
Coon hunters live on no sleep.

699
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:36,800
If you're, if you're a true houseman and you run these dogs hard, you live on no sleep.

700
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:37,800
It's true.

701
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:39,800
Especially if you're trying to make a living outside of Coon hunting.

702
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:43,600
Now there's some guys, you know who I mean, that's their job, but you know, if you're

703
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:50,760
trying to have the jobs during the day and then hunt at night and if you're strongly

704
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:54,680
competitive and you're training dogs, you live on no sleep.

705
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:55,680
Yep.

706
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:56,680
That's true.

707
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:57,680
That's very true.

708
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:01,760
But man, I love where this has went, you know, this has been great.

709
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:03,880
I really appreciate everybody for, for hanging out.

710
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:07,080
Like this is, this has been good conversation.

711
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:11,440
So quick backstory, jumping back to what Mark said, Mark made a comment, unless you walk

712
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,880
your wife and make her cry.

713
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:16,600
So we went up to Angie.

714
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:18,080
This was two winters ago.

715
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:24,560
We went up to Angie cables hunt up at her club and we went pleasure hunting down at

716
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:28,720
six mile and star.

717
00:37:28,720 --> 00:37:35,040
We turned loose at the gate star went all the way to the tip of the peninsula past six

718
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:44,080
mile and got tree and we walked Tiffany all the way to star tree and about halfway back.

719
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:45,640
She was crying.

720
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:46,640
Yeah.

721
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:47,640
Her legs hurt.

722
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,000
He didn't think she was going to make it.

723
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:53,040
We're gonna have to call a helicopter in to get her.

724
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:54,040
Yeah.

725
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:55,040
Okay.

726
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:59,480
So I'm going to flip the coin again and say, you know, we're talking about all the comradery

727
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:03,840
and everything that goes on outside of Coon hunting and different types of hounds.

728
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:04,840
Correct?

729
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:05,840
Nope.

730
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:10,800
Here's where I'm going to say that Tiffany says, Oh, hold on.

731
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:12,240
We got some other comments coming here.

732
00:38:12,240 --> 00:38:14,760
We can't skip these.

733
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:15,800
Tim Gilchrist.

734
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:20,640
I am from the old school where the competition was the dog that finishes the track first,

735
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:25,400
not the one that bust out and gets lucky enough to fall on a hot track.

736
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:27,600
There was a time period where that was a true statement.

737
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:31,280
And Tim, you know, I'd say that you've been around, you've been around here a long time.

738
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:32,700
You've seen that transition.

739
00:38:32,700 --> 00:38:34,680
So I'm sure you've seen that.

740
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,320
Tiffany Adkins says my legs still hurt from that hunt.

741
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:40,800
And Garrett Stanley says, Basham, you're wrong for that.

742
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:41,800
That's some rough country.

743
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:46,520
Oh, and by the way, if ever need be, I got proof of it.

744
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:47,800
Oh, I'm sure you do.

745
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:51,960
So I'm going to flip the coin again and say, you know, we've been sitting here talking

746
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:55,520
about all the camaraderie that goes on in, you know, outside of Coon hunting.

747
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:59,800
But one thing that I think Coon hunting does have going for it is that at these bigger

748
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:06,180
hunts it is, I'm not going to say central, but it's a common location for people across

749
00:39:06,180 --> 00:39:08,280
the country to meet up.

750
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:09,280
Right.

751
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:12,660
And you can do it multiple times a year.

752
00:39:12,660 --> 00:39:23,720
And let's let's just use UKC, for example, Tiffany says, Basham.

753
00:39:23,720 --> 00:39:26,000
And so let's use UKC.

754
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:30,160
So you've got the Grand American in South Carolina in January.

755
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:33,420
You're going to see your group of people there.

756
00:39:33,420 --> 00:39:37,560
You turn around in February and you see the same group down in Mississippi.

757
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:39,240
Okay.

758
00:39:39,240 --> 00:39:44,480
And at winter classic and you can go on and on and on, but then you've got the world hunt.

759
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:46,760
You've got tournament of champion zones.

760
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:48,040
You've got autumn oaks.

761
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:53,400
And these are all events where people across the country are being brought into one location

762
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:56,640
where the camaraderie can take place.

763
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,720
Most of the time it's for two or three days.

764
00:39:59,720 --> 00:40:06,000
And I think something that you hit on with UKC is a lot of those guys that hunt those

765
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:12,380
hunts, it's because the entry fees low and the prestige is high.

766
00:40:12,380 --> 00:40:19,480
So you can enter a, you know, a $40 hunt of autumns and win a national championship.

767
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:20,480
You know what I'm saying?

768
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:21,480
Yeah.

769
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:26,640
So a lot of, if you go look at the scorecards from bottom, if you go look at the scorecards

770
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:33,520
from winter classics, if you go look at the scorecards from grand American, I guarantee

771
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:40,280
you, you see more second, third and last trees in those hunts than you ever will in the PKC

772
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:41,280
hunt.

773
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:42,280
Oh, absolutely.

774
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:43,280
A hundred percent.

775
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:44,280
It's two totally different styles of dogs.

776
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:45,280
And that is a fact.

777
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:46,280
That's not opinion.

778
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:47,280
That is fact.

779
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,560
Wesley, Wesley, hold on.

780
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:52,320
Wesley says, he says, I only like maybe five people.

781
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:57,720
I can't imagine seeing the guy that beats me hunt after hunt everywhere that I went.

782
00:40:57,720 --> 00:41:01,880
He said, but he loves meeting new folks and Wesley, that is true.

783
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:06,920
I mean, you might have an arch enemy that you were going to run into at every single

784
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:11,120
hunt, no matter where you go, you turn your head to the left in Mississippi and you turn

785
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,720
your head right back around to Richmond, Indiana and there they are.

786
00:41:13,720 --> 00:41:16,440
You know, that, that is a true thing.

787
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:22,760
But that, but that's why automobiles draw so many people is because the, the art and

788
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,040
the comradery still alive.

789
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:28,200
It's just a lot less than what it used to be.

790
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:31,960
Like you have to go far away.

791
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:36,520
Like if you go up where Mark lives at, you're going to throw away more dogs at a UKC hunt

792
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:38,200
than a PKC hunt.

793
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:42,560
You go to where I live at, you ain't drawing no dogs at a UKC hunt.

794
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:45,280
I mean, it's just, it's just not happening.

795
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:50,480
So I mean, it just depends on where you live at where, and to be honest with you, a lot

796
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:57,040
of times it's where the older, where the older crowd is, the older guys that are still involved.

797
00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:02,360
Those are typically where you find your guys that hunt together and your camaraderie and

798
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:07,280
all of that, you know, where the old guys have been ran out and they no longer participate

799
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:10,720
in, in, in the hunts and it's where the young guys are.

800
00:42:10,720 --> 00:42:14,720
That's where you typically find your competition style dogs.

801
00:42:14,720 --> 00:42:16,200
It's split and go in different directions.

802
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:17,200
Yep.

803
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:18,200
That's absolutely true.

804
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,800
You know, and if you went back on what Wesley said, he only likes maybe five people.

805
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:27,160
Well, you're stuck with the same five people for 30 days in a row in December.

806
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:30,600
You know, you guys hunt with the same group for 30 days in a row and that can be good

807
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:36,000
and that can be bad because I know at the end of 30 days, I would be aggravated with

808
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:40,520
a few and I would be ready to be done with every one of them, you know, just to take

809
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:41,880
a break.

810
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:45,600
But you, but at that same token, you know, what the other person's dogs are doing.

811
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:48,840
You can almost, you know, write the book of how it is.

812
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,720
Um, Wes said, he said, I don't like them either.

813
00:42:51,720 --> 00:42:56,520
You know, you can almost write the book on how things are going to go.

814
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:59,840
Whereas, you know, with the competition side of things, when you're traveling across the

815
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:04,800
country, you, you get the opportunity to see new dogs every single weekend.

816
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:08,740
You get the opportunity to look and see what's working in the north versus what's working

817
00:43:08,740 --> 00:43:12,160
in the south versus what works in the swamps versus what works in the mountains.

818
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:16,980
You get to see all of that and you get to talk to other people and there is, you get

819
00:43:16,980 --> 00:43:18,560
to keep track of that.

820
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:20,280
And I'm going to do a little foreshadowing here.

821
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:24,840
We're going to do a podcast at autumn Oaks with a guy who has come out with a tool that

822
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:29,380
I think will be very, very neat for the competition houndsman as far as keeping track of those

823
00:43:29,380 --> 00:43:30,600
dogs that you've hunted with.

824
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:34,360
And that's as far as I'm going to go with that, but stay tuned for autumn Oaks.

825
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:38,200
So you know, I can see every single side of the coin and I challenge every one of you

826
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:41,240
guys who's watching this, whether you're a big game hunter, whether you're a competition

827
00:43:41,240 --> 00:43:45,560
coon hunter, go do the other one, go experience it.

828
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:47,740
You don't have to fall in love with it and make it your hobby.

829
00:43:47,740 --> 00:43:51,840
Go experience it because that's one thing that I've loved.

830
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:57,400
And you know, sometimes I get in trouble in the winter months for being gone too much.

831
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:58,880
Send me to Virginia for a week.

832
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:00,380
Send me to Kentucky for a week.

833
00:44:00,380 --> 00:44:01,380
Send me anywhere.

834
00:44:01,380 --> 00:44:06,440
When you and I went to Arkansas, send me anywhere during hunting season and let me go hang out

835
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:10,680
with people and let me go experience new things.

836
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:16,560
Let me do that because I have some of my fondest memories running around doing all that.

837
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:18,640
And do I have the best competition hounds?

838
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:19,640
Absolutely not.

839
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:21,600
Will I ever have the best competition hounds?

840
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:22,600
Probably not.

841
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:23,600
But you know what?

842
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:26,320
I don't sit out there till four in the morning every, every night either.

843
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:29,760
You know, you know, I, I have fun doing it.

844
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:31,400
I try to keep the fun in it.

845
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:35,120
Sometimes it's tough, but it's all about having fun and experiencing new things.

846
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:38,800
Whenever I go down to Kentucky, go to Virginia, go to Arkansas, that's not nine times a 10.

847
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:41,440
I'm not taking a hand or a coon hand with me.

848
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:44,780
So that's a week that they're not getting hunted, but you're making, you're building

849
00:44:44,780 --> 00:44:47,320
memories and experiences and you're not getting stuck in the rut.

850
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:48,320
So I don't know.

851
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:49,320
I love it.

852
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:50,320
This has been fantastic.

853
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:51,320
I'm loving it.

854
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:57,880
But we're also talking about two totally different things because I feel like in order to be

855
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:04,640
competitive in the world that we live in, in the competition coon world, it's almost

856
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:10,560
gotten to the point where the camaraderie part can't be because of the style of dog

857
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:12,320
that it takes to win.

858
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:15,120
The only time you get camaraderie is at the clubhouse.

859
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:16,120
Yeah.

860
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:22,520
Because let's just say that you go and you train a dog the way it used to be.

861
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:25,400
Are you taking him to a PKC hunt and winning?

862
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:27,960
No, absolutely not.

863
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:32,760
You're not because the minute you hit that recut and that dog goes and covers another

864
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:36,520
dog that's treed and that tree's dead, you've just lost minutes.

865
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:43,440
And anybody that's in the competition world knows it's not about any more everybody.

866
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:47,880
You know, it used to be back whenever I was a kid that if you had a dog that consistently

867
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:53,640
treat coons, you went to the clubhouse and you were the favorite to win.

868
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:56,160
Everybody's got a dog that treats coons now.

869
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:57,160
Everybody.

870
00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:58,160
Right.

871
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:01,000
It's about downtime does that dog have.

872
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:02,600
How fast?

873
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:07,360
That's why it ain't about people don't want their dogs to go three miles.

874
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:11,600
I want mine to treat at 50 yards.

875
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:17,760
What we got away from is I don't want my dog out there running a track for 25 minutes

876
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:23,600
and then coming treed on an old feeder track where he's in a den tree and you're not

877
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:24,880
going to score the coon.

878
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:29,040
I want him flying through the woods hitting that red hot coon because when he hits that

879
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:31,680
red hot coon, where's that coon going to go up?

880
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:36,120
A small little bitty tree or he's going to be looking at you because he's like, shit,

881
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:39,360
something just scared me and I'm going to be looking and then he's going to jump out

882
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:42,640
and cause you from making the final four and then you're going to tuck your tail and walk

883
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:45,240
all the way back to the truck and tell me how bad your life sucks.

884
00:46:45,240 --> 00:46:46,240
Yep.

885
00:46:46,240 --> 00:46:52,280
That did happen, but I'm just saying that it's just different now.

886
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:54,640
You know, everybody's got a dog at trees.

887
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:56,640
I'm just calling it what it is.

888
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:59,240
It's about how they do it.

889
00:46:59,240 --> 00:47:02,040
That's what determines most of your winners.

890
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:03,040
Yep.

891
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:04,040
Very true.

892
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:05,040
All right.

893
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:06,040
Let's switch gears here.

894
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:07,040
We're we're gosh darn.

895
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:08,040
We've already passed 45 minutes here.

896
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:11,440
I mean, this is a good dog on Tuesday, but I got one more thing I want to cover.

897
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:14,320
Let's just swap gears, put it on a different hat.

898
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:15,560
Audemokes.

899
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:16,560
Let's talk about it.

900
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:17,560
It's coming up.

901
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:18,560
Okay.

902
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:19,560
Put on that Audemokes hat.

903
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:23,280
It is one of my favorite, absolute favorite weeks of the year.

904
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:25,880
I this one, my most favorite.

905
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:26,880
Love it.

906
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:28,760
We have no pressure this year.

907
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:30,360
No pressure.

908
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:32,320
None.

909
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:36,840
So there's there's Steve Fielder coined the term the event where history is made.

910
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:37,880
And I believe that's true.

911
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:39,760
There's a lot of stuff that happens at Audemokes.

912
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:41,800
You know, it's funny.

913
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:45,760
Nikki's walking through the yard looking at the window at me as I talk about Audemokes.

914
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:46,760
That is her favorite event.

915
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:49,880
You know, this is something that her family has been involved in for, you know, I think

916
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:52,200
I want to say pushing over 50 years consecutive.

917
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:55,040
Never missed one and maybe 60.

918
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:56,040
I don't know.

919
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:57,040
It's a lot.

920
00:47:57,040 --> 00:48:03,240
But you talked about this that I think I think I think UKC should come out with a way of

921
00:48:03,240 --> 00:48:09,160
documenting and giving guys like Nikki's dad, Curtis, you know, some type of award.

922
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:11,160
I mean, how many how many years in a row?

923
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:13,600
I want to say it's it's pushing 60.

924
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:15,560
I know Nikki's been there for 40.

925
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:16,560
So yeah.

926
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:20,540
So I mean, he's been to like 60 consecutive.

927
00:48:20,540 --> 00:48:22,040
So that's that's pretty.

928
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:23,040
Yeah.

929
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:27,960
But you know, so that that kicks off here, not this coming week, but the week after.

930
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:32,040
And it is it's going to be it's a week long of fellowship of hunting of hanging out.

931
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:34,520
Matt Johnson says, hey, brother, hope you are doing good, Matt.

932
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:35,520
We're doing great, man.

933
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:36,520
I hate that I missed it.

934
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:39,920
I mean, I was literally within 30 minutes of Matthew Johnson the other day down in North

935
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:40,920
Carolina.

936
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:41,920
We tried to meet up.

937
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:42,920
We tried to make schedules work.

938
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:43,920
It just didn't happen.

939
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:44,920
I hate that man.

940
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:50,200
But, you know, Audemokes is coming up and you've had a good run at Audemokes.

941
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:52,800
You know, this has been a special hunt for both of us.

942
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:56,560
And you know, I'm not trying to toot your horn or mine because Lord knows we don't need

943
00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:57,960
to toot yours.

944
00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:02,840
But you know, you took spot there a couple of years ago.

945
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:06,500
First place overall registered dog, you know, put it on him.

946
00:49:06,500 --> 00:49:09,160
Did good doing it.

947
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:12,880
Two years ago, you took Buddy in the national dual championship.

948
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:15,720
You know, you won the national dual championship.

949
00:49:15,720 --> 00:49:16,720
Looked good doing it.

950
00:49:16,720 --> 00:49:17,720
Did it right.

951
00:49:17,720 --> 00:49:19,880
You know, both in the woods and in the show.

952
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:24,280
The same year that you did that was the year that kickstarted things for Jed and I.

953
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:28,520
You know, I hunted dual for you in the or hunted Jed for you in the duels that went

954
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:35,160
on a run of seven consecutive cast wins, which landed us fifth place in the UKC world at

955
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:36,480
a thirty two hundred dogs.

956
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:37,480
Fifth place to me.

957
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:39,040
That is mind boggling to me.

958
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:41,120
I'll probably never do that again.

959
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:43,080
But it all started at Audemokes.

960
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:44,080
Right.

961
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:47,000
And last year I got spot in the top 16.

962
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:48,000
Yeah.

963
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:49,320
Last year you got spot in the top 16.

964
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:52,200
The Kuhn jumped out of the tree that you just talked about.

965
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:56,320
He ambushed, you know, as you're walking to it, you watch the Kuhn bail cost you being

966
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:57,960
in the final four.

967
00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:03,480
You know, like that was a good run this year on the Tuesday, the 27th.

968
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:06,840
Nikki and I are getting married at Audemokes.

969
00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:09,000
Everybody here that's listening, you're welcome to be there.

970
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:10,360
Seven o'clock food drinks.

971
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:13,000
DJ, it's going to be a good time.

972
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:14,120
Just ordered the food today.

973
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:17,200
Pulled pork, mac and cheese, coleslaw, beer, ice cream.

974
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:18,800
Be there.

975
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:22,720
But you know, beer, beer, beer skis.

976
00:50:22,720 --> 00:50:23,720
You know me.

977
00:50:23,720 --> 00:50:24,720
Yeah.

978
00:50:24,720 --> 00:50:25,720
So it's going to be a good time.

979
00:50:25,720 --> 00:50:29,840
Like it is just an event where there's so much that happens.

980
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:33,800
And looking back, you know, it's been good to us as a team.

981
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:34,800
Yeah.

982
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:35,800
Yeah.

983
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:36,800
It's free.

984
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:37,800
Come on.

985
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:38,800
No, I'm asking.

986
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:39,800
Did you buy enough?

987
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:40,800
Oh, yeah, we got that covered.

988
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:41,800
Okay.

989
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:42,800
Yeah.

990
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:47,160
You know, but as a team, as a simple dog in, you know, team, Audemokes has been good to

991
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:52,320
us and not just in the competing side, not just in in any of that.

992
00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:55,480
But it's been it's been good to bring people together.

993
00:50:55,480 --> 00:51:01,920
That's where you met Mark and Tiff, you know, to bring it all full circle, bring it all

994
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:04,840
full circle.

995
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:11,520
About a week ago, Bryce calls me and he says, get my dog ready.

996
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:12,520
Get my dog ready.

997
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:14,600
I said, what?

998
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:19,240
And here we go again, because Ashland's always every dog that Bryce has done anything with.

999
00:51:19,240 --> 00:51:21,280
I've always had to get ready for him.

1000
00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:22,860
So he said, get my dog ready.

1001
00:51:22,860 --> 00:51:28,800
So it's kind of unique and maybe the stars align, whatever you want to call it, that

1002
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:33,180
it was spot where you met Nikki.

1003
00:51:33,180 --> 00:51:38,040
We were on our run at the UKC Worlds in Peru, Indiana.

1004
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:39,040
Yep.

1005
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:40,280
Having us a good old time.

1006
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:46,840
I was with my hype man, equipment manager, whatever you want to call him.

1007
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:48,720
Me and Bryce were on a pretty good run.

1008
00:51:48,720 --> 00:51:52,840
And now, oh, wheels goes down.

1009
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:53,840
Wheels is down.

1010
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:54,840
Wheels, wheels, wheels.

1011
00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:57,360
He's not running on all eight cylinders right now.

1012
00:51:57,360 --> 00:51:58,360
He's got a relic.

1013
00:51:58,360 --> 00:51:59,360
Yeah, he's down.

1014
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:02,400
Well, the wheel got a flat tire.

1015
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:06,280
And Bryce calls me and says, you know, spot ready.

1016
00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:08,400
I'm gonna hunt the spot for you.

1017
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:14,440
So it's kind of cool the full circle of we were hunting spot when you first met Nikki.

1018
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:18,080
And then now you're going to be hunting spot when you all get married.

1019
00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:19,080
So that's pretty neat.

1020
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:20,080
It is neat.

1021
00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:21,080
It comes full circle.

1022
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:22,080
It's super cool.

1023
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:23,640
I just hope he doesn't rip my arm off in the woods.

1024
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:27,680
That's all I'm asking.

1025
00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:29,000
You got to tell the story now.

1026
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:30,000
All right.

1027
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:32,760
So I know some people heard it, but not everybody's heard it.

1028
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:33,760
All right.

1029
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:34,760
Quick story.

1030
00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:35,760
I'm going to tell the story and we're going to wrap this up.

1031
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:36,760
All right.

1032
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:39,800
So whatever you have in your brain, jot it down for the next dog and Tuesday so we can

1033
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:40,800
pick back up.

1034
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:46,280
So Bastion calls me PKC world this year or last year.

1035
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:48,400
And he says, Hey, I got a problem.

1036
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:49,400
I'm like, what's that?

1037
00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:52,360
And he says, I got two dogs entered, two dogs qualified.

1038
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:53,720
I need you to come hunt one.

1039
00:52:53,720 --> 00:52:55,600
I can only hunt one of them for you at a time.

1040
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:58,680
So, okay, this is down in Tennessee.

1041
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:03,320
So you know, me doing what I do as a good friend, last minute decision, I just tell

1042
00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:04,560
Nikki, Hey, baby, got to go.

1043
00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:06,180
I'm hitting the road to Tennessee.

1044
00:53:06,180 --> 00:53:08,360
Be back in about four days.

1045
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:10,360
And I hop on the truck with Bastion, Tennessee bound.

1046
00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:12,120
We go.

1047
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:17,760
So I go to hunt spot and spot is a, I don't see the one man dog, but he's kind of one

1048
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:18,760
man dog.

1049
00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:19,760
Pretty close.

1050
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:21,240
And you know, Bastion has been hunting.

1051
00:53:21,240 --> 00:53:24,400
He's got him looking good, dialed in, tuned up, whatever you want to call it.

1052
00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:26,240
Dogs clicking.

1053
00:53:26,240 --> 00:53:31,400
And I take all spot out and buddy, he just looked terrible.

1054
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:32,960
You talk about the wheels falling off.

1055
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:38,560
I mean, it absolutely fell off the train derailed dump toxic waste in the fricking swamp.

1056
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:39,560
It was bad.

1057
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:41,120
He was backing dogs.

1058
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:46,320
He was missing trees, just doing stuff that this dog doesn't do for Bastion when Bastion

1059
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:47,320
was behind the lead.

1060
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:49,020
He just doesn't do it.

1061
00:53:49,020 --> 00:53:51,000
So I thought, you know, it's the end of the hunt and the hunt's over.

1062
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:55,120
I said, all right, well, you've done made me look stupid tonight.

1063
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:56,120
I got to hunt you again tomorrow.

1064
00:53:56,120 --> 00:54:01,480
Like we're just going to get a little corrective action in here and squash this bug right now.

1065
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:04,040
And you're going to know who's boss and then we're going to come out tomorrow.

1066
00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:05,520
We're going to go pleasure hunting.

1067
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:11,920
We're going to fix a few things later tonight and then we're going to try to do what you

1068
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:12,920
bet.

1069
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:13,920
Joey go for it.

1070
00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:16,660
I know I said, you know, we're going to, we're going to, we're going to do a little corrective

1071
00:54:16,660 --> 00:54:17,660
action right now.

1072
00:54:17,660 --> 00:54:19,160
We're going to fix this right now.

1073
00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:20,280
We're going to squash it.

1074
00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:22,120
We're going to go out pleasure hunting.

1075
00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:26,320
We're going to build on what we just learned and then we're going to hunt tomorrow night

1076
00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:28,840
and let's hope we can do a little bit better.

1077
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:34,040
Well, the corrective action did not go as planned at the tree.

1078
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:35,480
Old spitter spot turned around.

1079
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:39,400
If you guys haven't seen this dog, I mean, he is built like an absolute tank.

1080
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:41,480
There ain't an ounce of fat on this dog.

1081
00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:44,020
He is thick as can be.

1082
00:54:44,020 --> 00:54:49,000
And he turned on me and if anybody has seen me, he's probably about 90 pounds.

1083
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:50,000
Yeah.

1084
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:51,000
With no fat.

1085
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:53,200
And if anybody's ever seen my competition, I always wear a long sleeve shirt.

1086
00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:56,560
Most of the time in the summer, it's a, it's a button up flannel cause they're cool.

1087
00:54:56,560 --> 00:55:01,600
I had him in one hand and he turned on me and started trying to eat my lunch.

1088
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:05,840
And buddy, I look like the Heisman trophy winner out here holding this dog out as far

1089
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:07,280
as I can stiff arm.

1090
00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:10,600
And even he says, just trying to tear him.

1091
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:14,040
He got a hold of my shirt, rip my shirt sleeve off my arm.

1092
00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:19,080
I'm walking out of the woods with one sleeve.

1093
00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:24,400
And so I drew Joey go forth that night and I get back and I tell bashing what happened.

1094
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:29,000
And of course he's laughing at me and I'm like, all right, well let's, let's do something

1095
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:30,000
different.

1096
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:31,000
Let's, let's swap it up.

1097
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:33,680
I said, I'll hunt Axel the next night.

1098
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:35,480
I say, you hunt Spot.

1099
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:38,840
Well Basham ends up drawing Joey again and Spot.

1100
00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:40,440
Tell them about your hunt.

1101
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:45,360
Hunting down there on Luke Bryan and y'all had to take a freaking side by side cause he

1102
00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:46,360
went through three miles.

1103
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:47,360
Oh yeah.

1104
00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:48,360
Yeah.

1105
00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:54,280
So I'm hunting Axel and we ended up drawing out on Luke Bryan's hunting camp and we actually

1106
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:59,240
got way back in there and our guide, you know, he had keys to this place and he's like, all

1107
00:55:59,240 --> 00:56:02,480
right, call me if you get back here and we'll have to go through the gate and get in there.

1108
00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:03,480
And I said, okay.

1109
00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:05,960
So we call him, Hey, he's way back in there.

1110
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:07,640
This dog never made a tree.

1111
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:11,680
And so he comes and get us and he unlocks the gate and here we are driving through Luke

1112
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:12,680
Bryan's property.

1113
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:14,080
You know, and he's got his boats over.

1114
00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:15,080
This is his duck hunting property.

1115
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:18,520
He's got his boats and his side by sides and his big cabin.

1116
00:56:18,520 --> 00:56:21,840
It's just laid out duck pits everywhere that are dried up, they're ready to go.

1117
00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:22,840
You can drive on the levees.

1118
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:25,000
Like it was just really, really cool.

1119
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:27,680
So my Tennessee experience was not great.

1120
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:31,440
Neither dog that I had looked good, but Basham draws one of the guys that I drew the night

1121
00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:33,760
before and spot looked pretty good.

1122
00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:36,760
And Joey goes, there ain't no way that's the same dog.

1123
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:38,000
There's no freaking way.

1124
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:40,760
Cause Joey saw how dumb he looked and bash him.

1125
00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:41,760
Yeah.

1126
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:42,760
Yeah.

1127
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:43,760
That's the same dog.

1128
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:47,120
So I'm curious to see what happens here at autumn Oaks wheels us down with their like,

1129
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:49,640
yeah, I doubt we're going to get to hunting.

1130
00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:53,480
We've we're doing a new treatment on him that's not super well known.

1131
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:57,160
It's not something that is, you know, been tested a lot.

1132
00:56:57,160 --> 00:56:58,160
I don't know.

1133
00:56:58,160 --> 00:56:59,160
We're going to try it.

1134
00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:03,440
So we might, we might pull him out Saturday if he's looking okay, but I'm going to hunt

1135
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:05,360
spot for bash him at Oaks.

1136
00:57:05,360 --> 00:57:09,480
And I'm just going to hope and pray that he, maybe I should like trim my beard a little

1137
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:13,800
bit, put a little touch of gray in it, you know, maybe try and look like bash him so

1138
00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:17,640
that he thinks he's got the right person behind the lead and does all right.

1139
00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:25,280
Yeah, but uh, real quick, it's coming up, busy month coming up.

1140
00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:28,160
You got, uh, I got a truck hunt down in Lebanon.

1141
00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:33,520
Uh, next weekend I've got, uh, then we roll right into autumn Oaks.

1142
00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:39,520
And then, uh, for those of you that, uh, got your dogs qualified, you got UKC zones, you've

1143
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:43,960
got the world hunt, you got false super stakes right after that.

1144
00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:49,960
So it's a bam, bam, bam, bam, get ready, uh, you know, get your stuff done at home,

1145
00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:53,360
get all your honey do list done and get ready to rock and roll cause it's going to be a

1146
00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:54,360
busy month.

1147
00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:55,360
That's right.

1148
00:57:55,360 --> 00:57:56,360
I'm going to finish this out here.

1149
00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:57,360
I'm going to read a few of these last comments.

1150
00:57:57,360 --> 00:58:02,480
Anthony Anderson says, simplify raw Earl Hogwarts says, congratulations on the wedding.

1151
00:58:02,480 --> 00:58:03,480
Cool place to get married.

1152
00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:04,480
That's awesome.

Thank you.

1154

We're sure appreciate you.

00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:07,480
We're looking forward to it.

1156
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:09,920
Mark Atkins says Oaks brings people together in that it does.

1157
00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:11,920
That is where bashing met Mark and Tiffany.

1158
00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:14,360
Thank you, you're welcome for a friendship.

1159
00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:16,280
You can thank me later.

1160
00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:19,720
Anthony Anderson says, give him a cheeseburger as a peace offering.

1161
00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:24,000
L O L Hannah falling says country boy back three dogs for me.

1162
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:27,880
Chad took him the rest the next night and he won split three times.

1163
00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:29,520
Never thought about looking at another dog.

1164
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:33,040
I'm telling you Hannah, that's exactly how I feel.

1165
00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:34,480
I don't know how this stuff happens.

1166
00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:38,160
Look at Colton sliding in here, trying to get his little piece of fame.

1167
00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:43,360
Guys, this is, this is a, your national show champion, Colton Rovick.

1168
00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:45,200
He just went down there to a dad's eye.

1169
00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:48,000
We won the national youth youth national show championship.

1170
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:49,520
So congratulations buddy.

1171
00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:54,960
Um, Mark Gatkin says he is an ad ideal.

1172
00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:56,960
I don't understand that one.

1173
00:58:56,960 --> 00:58:58,880
And then he says he is a one man dog.

1174
00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:00,320
Jennifer bashing wife.

1175
00:59:00,320 --> 00:59:05,160
She says all spitter spot is probably one of the best dogs that we have ever been, we

1176
00:59:05,160 --> 00:59:06,660
have ever had in our kennels.

1177
00:59:06,660 --> 00:59:08,200
He is my favorite.

1178
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:09,200
Well he might be different in the kennels.

1179
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:10,200
He is in the wood.

1180
00:59:10,200 --> 00:59:11,200
Don't look at him sideways.

1181
00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:12,200
He'll get you.

1182
00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:16,440
Earl says Steven is as good as one man dog thing.

1183
00:59:16,440 --> 00:59:20,760
Snowball was another one to add to that one man dog list.

1184
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:22,400
And Jennifer says, yay, Colton.

1185
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:23,400
Congratulations buddy.

1186
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:28,480
So real quick, I've known Earl since Mr. Earl Hoggard.

1187
00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:37,440
I've known him since 2000 and probably 2011, something like that.

1188
00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:38,440
Maybe even before then.

1189
00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:41,680
But yeah, Mr. Earl Earl Hoggard from North Carolina.

1190
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:42,680
Yep.

1191
00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:43,680
All right, buddy.

1192
00:59:43,680 --> 00:59:46,040
Well, hey, we're closing in on an hour here.

1193
00:59:46,040 --> 00:59:47,840
I got some things I got to get done.

1194
00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:48,840
This has been good.

1195
00:59:48,840 --> 00:59:51,400
I want to say thank you to everybody for this dog on Tuesday.

1196
00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:54,000
This is a good one.

1197
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:55,640
I love to see all the interaction.

1198
00:59:55,640 --> 01:00:02,200
So join us, oh, actually, Dog on Tuesday will not happen in two weeks.

1199
01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:03,200
That's when we're getting married.

1200
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:04,200
Why not?

1201
01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:06,440
Yeah, I don't think we're going to go.

1202
01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:10,280
We might, somebody might go Facebook live on the Semper Dog on Podcast group for the

1203
01:00:10,280 --> 01:00:11,280
wedding.

1204
01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:12,280
What?

1205
01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:13,280
7 o'clock.

1206
01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:15,800
So it's an hour before.

1207
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:17,440
It is.

1208
01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:26,280
So if I'm not too caught up in the moment or if I've not had too many brusch skis, then

1209
01:00:26,280 --> 01:00:36,000
hey, meet us live here for a live version of the Bryce Matthews wedding at Autumn Up.

1210
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:38,000
It'll be fun.

1211
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:39,000
It'll be fun, guys.

1212
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:40,560
Well, thank you from everybody here at Semper Dog.

1213

We sure appreciate them, guys, you know, sticking with us through all this stuff.

1216
01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:47,920
Mashem, this has been fun, buddy.

1217
01:00:47,920 --> 01:00:49,720
I'm excited for Oaks.

1218
01:00:49,720 --> 01:00:51,400
I'm excited to see where things goes.

1219
01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:52,400
Yep.

1220
01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:54,400
I gotta go load up and hit the woods, bud.

1221
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:57,520
All right, Tim, for well, guys, we are going to sign off here.

1222
01:00:57,520 --> 01:01:00,080
Like you said, if you haven't listened to the podcast we just released the last Friday

1223
01:01:00,080 --> 01:01:03,800
that sparked this entire conversation, please go do so.

1224
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:08,200
That was with Mr. Jason Hines and Chad Spradlin, their dog split train trigger.

1225
01:01:08,200 --> 01:01:10,640
And it stirred the pot a little bit in a good way.

1226
01:01:10,640 --> 01:01:11,880
It got it got people talking.

1227
01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:13,520
So go check that out.

1228
01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:16,240
We're going to have some more podcasts coming up for you live at Autumn Oaks.

1229
01:01:16,240 --> 01:01:19,360
We've got a couple of people lined up to record over there.

1230
01:01:19,360 --> 01:01:20,360
Drop some more content for you.

1231
01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:23,200
Hopefully we're going to get a few more guys on here that aren't just in the Coonhound

1232
01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:24,200
section.

1233
01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:25,200
You know, we need this.

1234
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:26,200
We need to branch out a little bit.

1235
01:01:26,200 --> 01:01:27,200
Let me get back after that.

1236
01:01:27,200 --> 01:01:29,760
So we sure appreciate you here at Semper Dog and everything that you do.

1237
01:01:29,760 --> 01:01:32,360
I do want to give a shout out to Hometown Hero Outdoors real quick.

1238
01:01:32,360 --> 01:01:34,800

Later.
