00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,840
Canines are our passion.

2
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,160
They are our addiction.

3
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:19,200
They are our way of life right down to the very core and without them we would be lost.

4
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,840
The canines of this world really are something to behold.

5
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:28,680
They assist us at work, they accompany us at home, and they perform for us in the field.

6
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:32,200
No matter where we go, they are by our side.

7
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:36,880
Canines really are a ride or die and for that we are grateful.

8
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:41,440
This podcast will showcase working canines of various breeds and disciplines as we search

9
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:46,040
for those canines and their handlers who are always striving to be the best at what they

10
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:47,560
do.

11
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,760
Those who are always grinding.

12
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,440
Those who are always pushing the limits.

13
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,560
Those who are always dogging.

14
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,680
Join us on our adventures as it is sure to be a wild ride.

00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:36,320
Welcome, welcome, welcome to another episode of the Semper Doggen podcast.

35
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:40,160
I am here with my brother from another mother, Mr. Steven Basham.

36
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:41,160
What's up, buddy?

37
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:42,160
What's up, big dog?

38
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:43,160
How you doing?

39
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,200
Man, I am about beat.

40
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,440
I feel like a whooped dog at the end of Super Stakes who hunted early round and late round.

41
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:50,440
Yeah, whatever.

42
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:54,800
I can tell you a few stories about that.

43
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:59,240
Man, I tell you.

44
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:00,680
How's the farm life coming?

45
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,000
Dude, it is so freaking busy.

46
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:08,200
I have been literally, that's all I work on outside of work is trying to get this website

47
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:09,200
going.

48
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:10,200
We just put a parking lot in.

49
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:11,840
Today, we got the parking lot done.

50
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,800
We got the first load of, well, it's not done.

51
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,720
We got the first load of number two is brought in for gravel.

52
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,160
Then tomorrow, they're bringing in 73s.

53
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:23,200
We sowed grass seed and straw on the embankment next to the road.

54
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,000
We have a full parking lot ready to go here coming up.

55
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,000
Mainly, it's a two-fold reason, actually three-fold.

56
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,840
Number one, we have too many kids who are getting their licenses right now.

57
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,360
We have nowhere to park cars.

58
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:36,360
Absolutely nowhere.

59
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,240
I need more parking.

60
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:43,720
Number two, people are parking in the middle of the road almost daily, stopping and taking

61
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,080
pictures of the longhorns and the goats and whatever else.

62
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,280
They just park in the middle of the road and take up the road.

63
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,240
We're going to give them a nice little place to pull off and park.

64
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:53,240
Number three-

65
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:54,240
You going to charge them per photo?

66
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:58,020
No, no, no, no, because we're going to get them whenever they stop in at our new farm

67
00:03:58,020 --> 00:03:59,720
store here, hopefully in the next few months.

68
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:05,080
I'm wanting to do an in-person, an actual location farm store here.

69
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,800
The online website's getting ready to launch here in the next couple of weeks.

70
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:13,640
I'll be able to order their goat and their beef and their chicken and eggs online and

71
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,600
be able to deliver it right to them up here in Miami County.

72
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:17,640
We're not doing anywhere else right now.

73
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,560
We have a couple of different drop-off locations, but literally that consumes all my time.

74
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,880
I'm just busy, busy, busy, busy.

75
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:29,960
We talk about time and we got a feller on here who he's going to talk to us a little

76
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,720
bit, Mr. Sean Foer.

77
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,440
Congratulations on your win last weekend.

78
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,440
I appreciate it.

79
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,280
I appreciate you boys having the own.

80
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:41,320
Hey, no problem.

81
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:42,480
It's been a long time coming.

82
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,480
I know you've been knocking at the door, knocking at the door.

83
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,880
Guys, you're going to hear some stories from a dedicated coon hunter.

84
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:57,000
Bryce was talking about how his time is all wrapped up in dealing with a farm.

85
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:01,440
You're going to hear a couple of stories from Sean about how far he has to go to even hunt.

86
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:07,700
The dedication that it takes for him to night in and night out, drive that far just to be

87
00:05:07,700 --> 00:05:12,400
able to hunt, to get the dog ready, to be able to compete at the highest level.

88
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:13,720
Sean's been doing it for a while.

89
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:20,720
He's been, like I said, me and him ran against each other quite a bit, knocked heads.

90
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:29,160
Usually he's on the winning end of it.

91
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,520
Tell us a little bit about yourself, Sean.

92
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,680
When did you get into coon hunting?

93
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,720
Whether it be pleasure hunting?

94
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:40,400
Also when did the whole competitive side come out of it?

95
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:47,560
Yeah, I probably, I don't know, three and four year old, I can remember my Papaw Johnny,

96
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:53,880
he would take me down by my house all the time and he'd have to pack me because we were

97
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,760
worried up with copperheads and rattlesnakes and stuff.

98
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:05,240
I can remember, as long as I can ever remember him packing me around in an old jeep, it just

99
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:06,760
never end from there.

100
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:07,760
I loved it.

101
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,600
Hold on a second, let's back up.

102
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,640
You're ate up with copperheads and rattlesnakes and all that.

103
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,080
What part of the country are you hunting in here?

104
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:15,080
Where are you from?

105
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,200
I'm from Williamsburg, Kentucky.

106
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:21,000
It's right on the Tennessee line, southeast from Kentucky.

107
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,000
Gotcha, gotcha.

108
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,160
All right, sorry, I don't mean to interrupt here, but guys, I'm learning just as much

109
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,520
about Sean as y'all are tonight, so I'm excited about this.

110
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,280
I want to know all the details.

111
00:06:29,280 --> 00:06:32,080
Real quick, I just want to cut in just for a second on that.

112
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,560
You said southeast Kentucky.

113
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:41,480
How far are you from all of the catastrophic weather failure they had down there?

114
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,960
I got to be pretty good north of there.

115
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:52,160
I think right around Dollywood and stuff.

116
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:53,160
That got hit.

117
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,560
I'm about probably two hours north of there.

118
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:57,560
Okay, gotcha, gotcha.

119
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,840
So you guys didn't see none of that?

120
00:06:59,840 --> 00:07:04,720
No, we got some of the wind, but nothing like they got.

121
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,520
Good to go, good to go.

122
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:11,000
But yeah, so your grandpa, all the way from age three, four, was kind of packing around

123
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,040
in a Jeep, and where'd it go from there?

124
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:23,160
Yeah, then my Uncle Danny, which I hunted with my papaw all the time, and he started

125
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:28,600
taking me, him and my cousin Craig, and that kind of were getting into the competition

126
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:29,600
side.

127
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:34,680
They liked to go to hunt some, you know, UKC hunts and stuff.

128
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:44,200
They let me take their dogs, and that was a, I went from just hunting to loving, or competition

129
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:49,080
hunting, and it just kind of went from there.

130
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:56,440
My cousin Craig, he would haul me wherever, and then went on years later.

131
00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:01,320
I got to hunting for my buddy Jeremy Wilson, and we had some luck.

132
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:12,280
And then Doug Miller, the one I hunt for now, he really hired me just to hunt, and man,

133
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:13,280
he's been amazing.

134
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:19,600
That's all, and he lets me go pretty much wherever, and he's just a super good dude

135
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:20,840
to hunt for.

136
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:30,840
And he might have, like, we had that hunt that I just won, and they was going to have

137
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,480
another one up there in Ohio.

138
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,680
I had an entry to it, and they didn't end up filling it.

139
00:08:37,680 --> 00:08:43,120
Yeah, and you know, it didn't matter, he was ready to row.

140
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,680
So, you know, he's been super good to me.

141
00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:46,680
Yeah.

142
00:08:46,680 --> 00:08:48,640
So, you talk about going all the way back.

143
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:53,640
What was your first coon dog?

144
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:54,640
First coon dog?

145
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,640
Probably my papaw.

146
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,000
He gave me a female.

147
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,560
I don't even know if she was registered.

148
00:09:02,560 --> 00:09:04,560
And probably not.

149
00:09:04,560 --> 00:09:06,280
Yeah, I'd say not.

150
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:11,240
And she wasn't much, but she was a triacone.

151
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,640
I was probably seven, eight at best.

152
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:21,080
And that's probably the one I remember being the first one I ever had.

153
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:25,880
He raised them, and I ended up giving her back to him.

154
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:26,880
Okay.

155
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:28,800
Because I hunted with him all the time anyway.

156
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:35,160
I mean, I lived right next to my papaw, and heck, he'd done all the feeding and stuff.

157
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:40,440
So it wasn't like it was given to me, but it was still his.

158
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:44,760
When did you first start getting into the competition side of it?

159
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:53,080
I would say probably, yeah, I was probably more like 15, 16, about the time I got my

160
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:54,680
driver's license.

161
00:09:54,680 --> 00:10:01,520
I started going to some UKC hunts, and then just went on.

162
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:10,520
And I think in 2009, I went to my first ever PKC hunt, and it was the world hunt, actually.

163
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,600
First ever.

164
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:17,920
That sounds like me throwing Bryce into the mix.

165
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,760
So a little backstory, Sean, you probably don't even know.

166
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:30,560
I found Bryce sitting at a 7-11 with half-leg, half-pant leg up, trying to hitchhike down

167
00:10:30,560 --> 00:10:32,800
there now.

168
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:37,920
We got mixed up with, I was looking for somebody to handle a dog, and Johnny Hamilton said,

169
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,840
I know this feller, he's not too likable, but he can call a dog.

170
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:49,880
And so he introduced me to Bryce, and Bryce started hunting dogs that I would get qualified

171
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,760
or whatever, and I just threw him into the mix.

172
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:56,000
I mean, all the way down to even Jed.

173
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:00,240
I called him up and said, hey, I got two dogs that are qualified for the world.

174
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,880
You're handling one of them.

175
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,520
You see, Sean, the difference between Bashman and I is that I can actually close a game.

176
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:10,320
He gets him open, and he can go like the first six innings, but he can't finish the final

177
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:11,320
three.

178
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,200
That's the difference here.

179
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,680
Tell him to draw a longer straw next time.

180
00:11:15,680 --> 00:11:17,680
Yeah, I know.

181
00:11:17,680 --> 00:11:18,680
I know it.

182
00:11:18,680 --> 00:11:22,560
Sean, when you were getting started there, you said 15 or 16, was there youth hunts or

183
00:11:22,560 --> 00:11:26,040
anything that you run around, or did you just jump in with the big timers and just get in

184
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:27,040
it?

185
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:28,040
Yeah, no.

186
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,400
I never went to a youth hunt ever.

187
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:35,600
And I mean, there's a lot of big-time hunters right around me.

188
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:45,600
I mean, just in my town, you got like Jerry Raines, Mike Begley, Cody Main, Darrell Main,

189
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,080
several big-name hunters.

190
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,480
You said the last name Begley.

191
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,840
You know Steven Begley?

192
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:55,840
Not that I know of.

193
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,640
He's a hunter down there in Kentucky.

194
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,440
He'd come up here and hunt with me one weekend.

195
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:00,440
Good dude.

196
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,400
Been a Facebook friend to him for a long time, but I was just curious if you knew him or

197
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:03,400
not.

198
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:04,400
I was going to give him a shout out.

199
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:05,400
Anyways, we'll give him a shout out anyway, Steven.

200
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:15,560
Yeah, so you know, I've seen that trend a lot, especially down south.

201
00:12:15,560 --> 00:12:19,280
And I say down south, you know, southern Kentucky, northern Tennessee, and a little further south.

202
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:23,120
It doesn't seem like, from my perspective, the youth stuff is that big down there.

203
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,800
I mean, it's like just jump into the wolves and sink or swim.

204
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,640
Yeah, for sure.

205
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:31,640
I know Cody.

206
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:36,200
I know he run a few youth hunts, one in the youth world and stuff, but he's probably one

207
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:41,000
of the only that I know around me that probably ever hunted a youth hunt.

208
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,480
That Cody Main?

209
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:43,480
Yeah.

210
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:49,280
That's because the way that we were raised, you know, me being from Kentucky myself, it

211
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,560
was more like a family event, right, Sean?

212
00:12:51,560 --> 00:12:58,880
You know, you had your dad and your uncles and your cousins, and you'd go out there and

213
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,560
waylay each other and shooting coons out.

214
00:13:01,560 --> 00:13:06,360
And it was just more of a, it was a more of a, you know, I've talked about on this podcast

215
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:07,360
before.

216
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,360
Coon hunting back in the day was different than it was now.

217
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,000
You know, back in the day, it was camaraderie and it was fun.

218
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,660
I mean, we'd go out there in the middle of the winter and build a fire and we'd take

219
00:13:16,660 --> 00:13:20,200
hot dogs and buns with us and we'd have a good old time.

220
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:25,560
Now you get two people that hunt together and one dog's going one way and their dog's

221
00:13:25,560 --> 00:13:28,600
going the other way and you never see each other until the end of the hunt.

222
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:29,600
Yeah.

223
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,040
Yeah, for sure.

224
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:33,960
I can't even imagine doing that.

225
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:40,960
I seriously cannot imagine taking enough stuff with me and having a dog that took so long

226
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,720
to tree a coon that I had time to build a fire and roast a hot dog.

227
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,120
I mean, that sucker ain't getting wooded right here right now.

228
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,360
Like I'm fed up with it already.

229
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:51,360
Yeah.

230
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:56,100
You need to come on down to the house then because it's still that way at my house.

231
00:13:56,100 --> 00:13:58,600
If you tree a coon tonight at my house, you've done something.

232
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:05,400
I mean, we don't have no coons and it's straight up down mountains.

233
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:10,320
I mean, I don't know that I would and I say this with all sincerity, I think I'd find

234
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,880
another hound sport legitimately.

235
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,720
I mean, you're probably down there in bear country, ain't you?

236
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:16,720
Yeah, those bears.

237
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:17,720
Yeah.

238
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:19,120
I mean, I'd probably take up bear hunting.

239
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:20,960
I love bear hunting.

240
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:21,960
I love it.

241
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:22,960
Love it.

242
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,560
And if I had to sit on a mountain and climb up and down that thing to look at a little

243
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:31,160
13 pound ring-tailed creature, I don't know that I'd do it.

244
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,880
That's because you like the camaraderie of it.

245
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,720
We've talked about it multiple times with Heath Hyatt.

246
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,680
You like the camaraderie of when you bear hunt, you're not bear hunting by yourself.

247
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:46,480
You're bear hunting with five, six buddies and a bunch of dogs and you're communicating

248
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,600
and it's a camaraderie thing.

249
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,320
Yeah, you're probably right.

250
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,000
That's what you're liking.

251
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:59,680
When me and Sean in our past time, whenever we were kids, that's the way it was.

252
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:04,520
Growing up with his pet ball and his uncle and his cousins, being able to go out there

253
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,920
and have a good time back then, everything treed together, didn't it?

254
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:08,920
Yeah.

255
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:09,920
Oh yeah.

256
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:10,920
For sure.

257
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,360
So, go ahead.

258
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:19,520
You talked about how bad it is at your house and right before we started, right at the

259
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:24,560
beginning of this podcast, I kind of dove in a little bit to the dedication that it

260
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:31,440
takes for somebody like yourself, where you live at, to be able to hunt.

261
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:37,200
What kind of timeframe we talk in as far as how far you drive, how long you hunt and what

262
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,160
time you get back home?

263
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:40,160
Yeah.

264
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:47,400
Well, from whenever it's summertime, you can't hunt at my house really because we're

265
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,800
freed up with rattlesnakes and copperheads.

266
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,760
So I drive to my Jake Glover's house.

267
00:15:53,760 --> 00:16:03,440
It's an hour and a half, hour and 45 minutes and I drive it five, six nights a week anyway.

268
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:11,440
I usually try to be done over there by three, so I'm usually rolling back into my house

269
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:12,440
about six.

270
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:13,440
Oh my God.

271
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:14,440
Grief.

272
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:19,160
Now, I heard Jake ain't allowed to go to no more hunts.

273
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:25,600
Well, I told him there after that hunt, I took my buddy Scott Hayes, he hunts with me

274
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:31,480
a lot too, rides over here with me and his little boy Levi, that was the first hunt he

275
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,320
had ever been to and we won it.

276
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,880
I said, well, you're going to ever want them from now on.

277
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,200
I mean, how about an introduction?

278
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:43,600
That kid's going to go to a $35 hunt one day and get a check for 72 bucks and be like,

279
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:44,600
what the heck?

280
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,680
That's all he can do?

281
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:52,120
How did that new truck?

282
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:53,120
Hold on, hold on.

283
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:54,120
You're getting ahead of yourself.

284
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:55,120
Pump the brakes.

285
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,120
I just had to jump in there and ask him.

286
00:16:58,120 --> 00:16:59,600
No, pump the brakes.

287
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:04,760
I mean, so Sean, you said earlier that you're, who'd you say you're hunting for now?

288
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:06,360
Doug Miller out of Richmond.

289
00:17:06,360 --> 00:17:07,360
Doug Miller, gotcha.

290
00:17:07,360 --> 00:17:09,320
So are you hunting for him full time?

291
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,520
Like that is your job, you're solely coon hunting.

292
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:12,520
Yeah.

293
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:13,520
Yeah, I am now.

294
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:14,520
Yep.

295
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:15,520
All right.

296
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,160
So explain what you do before.

297
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:23,280
Well, I worked at a school down here for a long time and it gave me enough freedom to

298
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:29,680
hunt and then me and my wife got together and we had a couple of kids and the school

299
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,800
job really, you know, just wasn't enough.

300
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:40,440
So I went to drive in a truck and got to having a little bit of health issues and was off

301
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:46,240
and that's when Doug, he's like, I'd like to hire you, you know, full time, just, just

302
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:51,640
to hunt for me, which, you know, he was just now getting into it and I was like, you know,

303
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,000
yeah, let's, let's try it.

304
00:17:54,000 --> 00:18:01,640
And I guess it's probably been about a year, year and a half now and been hunting for him

305
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:02,640
full time.

306
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,080
So, so explain to the listeners like how this works.

307
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:10,320
And I know that, you know, you're one of several people who hunt full time for a living, like

308
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:11,320
that is your job.

309
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:15,160
And I know that every case is different, but some people that I talk to, they just can't

310
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:20,960
fathom the fact that somebody is running coon hounds at night for a living.

311
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:25,480
So explain to them like the dedication, like, do you have, do you have a certain time where

312
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:30,000
you're like, okay, hey, I'm clocking in at 10 30 tonight and then I'm hunting till four

313
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,760
o'clock and like, do you have set hours?

314
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,400
Do you have set days?

315
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:38,920
Do you like, how does it work to hunt full time?

316
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:44,640
There's no set nothing, I mean, of course, you know, you turn it loose, you don't know

317
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,480
when you're getting back.

318
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:53,960
And I, I just try to hunt as much as I can, trying to get ready until I feel like they're

319
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:58,960
ready and I'll give them a, you know, I may give them a night off here and there.

320
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:03,040
It's just different, you know, different all the time.

321
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:06,280
I usually hunt about all night.

322
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:13,960
Is it, now that it's a job, has it taken away from your passion for the sport of coon hunting?

323
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,360
It ain't made none, no.

324
00:19:17,360 --> 00:19:18,360
I love it.

325
00:19:18,360 --> 00:19:19,720
I love the coon hunts, always have.

326
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:24,280
I mean, you can ask anybody in my town if there wasn't a coon hunt tomorrow, I'd be

327
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:25,280
coon hunting.

328
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:26,280
Right.

329
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:31,960
I mean, and then be hunting like this if I could, you know, if the Lord would let me

330
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:36,480
in, you know, I could afford it, I would hunt just the same.

331
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:37,480
Yeah.

332
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:42,400
So, you know, and like Basham said, you know, you just come off of a really big win, which

333
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:43,400
we're going to get to.

334
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,360
We're not going to put the cart in front of the horse, even though he already foreshadowed

335
00:19:45,360 --> 00:19:46,360
this a little bit.

336
00:19:46,360 --> 00:19:50,960
Have there been, has there been moments in your life or in your career that have like

337
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:52,640
kind of brought you to where you are?

338
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:56,520
Is there anything that you can look back and be like, man, whenever I won this hunt, that

339
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:57,520
was big.

340
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:02,400
And looking back at it now, it wasn't as big as what you thought it was back then.

341
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:11,480
I can remember back, you know, they had the houndsman hunt and Dick's River there and

342
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:17,120
I wanted a couple of years and I thought that was just a crazy win.

343
00:20:17,120 --> 00:20:22,520
Looking back, I mean, all you won was a light and a dog box, you know, but to me it was

344
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,520
so much more.

345
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,520
At that point in your career, that was a big deal.

346
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:27,520
Yeah.

347
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,520
And those are stepping stones to get you where you are today.

348
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:30,520
Oh yeah.

349
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:35,280
I mean, you just never know when stuff's going to fall into place for you.

350
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:42,280
You know, I'll say, you know, God definitely plays, you know, you got to look up to him

351
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:46,760
and when it's your time, it's your time.

352
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:53,240
So a quick question from, you know, the listeners, you know, that kind of, I got a friend that

353
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:57,760
has a hard time of winning late rounds and he's wondering, you know, at any time in your

354
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:06,520
career, have you ever felt like, like the stars just aren't going to align?

355
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,520
Like, like what the heck am I doing wrong?

356
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:12,360
Who's your friend there, are you sure you're not talking for yourself?

357
00:21:12,360 --> 00:21:14,000
Easy, don't give it away.

358
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,240
It was a secret.

359
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:17,240
For sure.

360
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:26,240
I mean, I think that I've been in that truck hunt that made like six or seven of them that

361
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,560
I've got in the top 16.

362
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:33,800
And then the one before this one, I got in the final four and my dog just give it away.

363
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,320
I was like, man, I'm just never going to win one.

364
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,720
Just getting down and then turn right around at the next one and win it.

365
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,640
And I was like, holy crap.

366
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:48,940
And even that one was suspenseful, which we, I won't put the cart in front of the horse,

367
00:21:48,940 --> 00:21:50,160
but that one was suspenseful.

368
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,280
I mean, I was up watching that one.

369
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,560
So we'll get to that in just a few minutes.

370
00:21:54,560 --> 00:22:00,520
But yeah, it's, it's Evans and flows, Coon hunting, because the moment you think you

371
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:04,580
have your dog ready and you take him to a hunt, he's not ready.

372
00:22:04,580 --> 00:22:09,160
And then the moment you think he's not ready and you take him to a hunt, he shines.

373
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:14,920
So at what point, and I know every dog is different, but at what point do you feel comfortable

374
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,920
going to a hunt like this?

375
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,400
Oh Lord, I don't know.

376
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:21,680
I don't know if you ever are.

377
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,400
Cause I mean, I hunt all the time.

378
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:28,440
And the thing about it is Rocky had been hurt.

379
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:33,760
He had hurt his leg and he'd been out for three months and I didn't even money none

380
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:35,960
for three months, jerked him out.

381
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:41,000
I took him to the super states, doubled him up and got beat.

382
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:46,280
And then I hunted him once or twice more and took him to that truck hunt.

383
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,280
So he was in no, no shape at all.

384
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,080
And it just fell into place.

385
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,520
Well congratulations on getting a late round wind at super stakes.

386
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,520
We're glad that somebody on this podcast can make it in.

387
00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:00,880
It says, it says the guy that don't even hunt it.

388
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,040
Hey, I've made, you don't even show up.

389
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:04,920
I've got it in the super stakes twice in the spring.

390
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:10,120
I just don't go to the fall and guess how many times I've entered it in the spring?

391
00:23:10,120 --> 00:23:14,720
Twice, that and a thousand.

392
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,600
All right.

393
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,640
So Sean, let's, let's, let's go ahead and dive into it a little bit.

394
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:24,640
Let's talk about, you know, you just said that the preparation getting ready for this

395
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,480
hunt was pretty well non-existent, right?

396
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:31,000
If yeah, not, not like what I would have wanted to be for sure.

397
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:32,000
Okay.

398
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:33,240
So that's, that's what I want to lead into here.

399
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:38,760
If you had, if you could paint the picture, you know, what's that song paint me a Birmingham?

400
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:43,200
If you could paint me a coon hunt, how would it look leading up to a big hunt like is you

401
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:44,520
have an entry to a truck.

402
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:45,520
Yeah.

403
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:49,040
You've got an entry to a coon hunt and you're going to paint the perfect scenario.

404
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,920
What does it look like for you to get ready for that hunt?

405
00:23:51,920 --> 00:24:00,920
Oh man, I'm a, I definitely, I hunt, like I said, I hunt it about every night and I

406
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:06,000
like to keep one in really good shape.

407
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:07,880
So I hat that's for sure.

408
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,200
You have one of them to be in tip top shape.

409
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:18,560
Uh, like, do you, are you looking for like a percentage?

410
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,640
Like, okay, my dog's clicking right now.

411
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,760
You know, he's three, he's, he's nine for the last 10.

412
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,680
Like he's ready and I'm going to give him a night, night or two off.

413
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,680
That way he's recouped and ready to go.

414
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:28,680
Just like an athlete.

415
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:29,680
I mean, is that kind of what you're looking for?

416
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:34,080
Are you just, just going to keep hunting consistent, consistent, consistent, and just go for it?

417
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:41,960
Well, I like to make, make sure he's consistent and I want, you know, that's, that's one strong

418
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:42,960
point about Rocky.

419
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,360
He, he is really good about having his cones.

420
00:24:45,360 --> 00:24:50,120
So I mean, even if you lay him up, when you pull him out, he's going to have his cones.

421
00:24:50,120 --> 00:24:52,400
So you know, just knock the edge off of him.

422
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:53,400
Really?

423
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:54,400
What's he out of?

424
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:55,400
Give us a little bit about his pedigree.

425
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:56,400
Sorry.

426
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:57,400
I didn't mean to interrupt you there.

427
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:58,400
I apologize.

428
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,920
I'm just trying to get a little bit of communication there.

429
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:08,080
He's off of a dog called greasy creek cause and a, and a reason female, which cause the

430
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,120
cause dog is off.

431
00:25:10,120 --> 00:25:16,960
He's a litter mate to a lefty and ranger and that whole whole wine there.

432
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,080
My buddy Jake that I go hunting with all the time.

433
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:25,000
He, he raves them and he's the one started all of them.

434
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:26,000
Gotcha.

435
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,920
Basham, you got anything to chime in on that?

436
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:30,400
You know anything about that, that lineage?

437
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:31,400
Well, yeah.

438
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:37,400
I mean, obviously ranger and lefty, you know, they're there, they speak for themselves and

439
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:41,720
what they've won, you know, and then obviously you go down to the bottom side of it.

440
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:47,320
I mean, pretty, I mean, there's so many winners that you can name off of all them dogs.

441
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,080
You said it's off a reason, right?

442
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:50,080
Yeah.

443
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:51,080
My only reason.

444
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:52,080
Yeah.

445
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:53,080
Yeah.

446
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:54,080
Yeah.

447
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,080
Sure did.

448
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:57,200
Sure did.

449
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:01,080
I always heard they were a bit touchy.

450
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:02,080
Those dogs off reason.

451
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:03,080
I don't know.

452
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:06,320
I don't have any personal experience, but that's what I've been told.

453
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,240
So tell us a little bit, tell us a little bit about him.

454
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:10,240
Like what kind of dog is he?

455
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:16,600
Is he, you know, is he, you know, every dog's got their strong points and their weak points.

456
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:21,840
Is he more of a track dog or is he more of a run through the woods in the ambush one?

457
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:23,640
I mean, what kind of dog is he?

458
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:31,160
He's a little of all, I mean, he really, he can take tracks as it comes to him or if they

459
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,280
ain't moving, he'll fly in there and get you one.

460
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:47,920
I mean, he typically stays alone for, you know, 99% of the time he's a dog, you know,

461
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,440
but got his cones.

462
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:59,120
I mean that and if dogs are honest, he's going to be a good strike dog, but you know, and

463
00:26:59,120 --> 00:27:01,120
today he's, he's all over the board.

464
00:27:01,120 --> 00:27:06,880
He could strike for a quarter or could strike for a hundred.

465
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:11,340
Is there, is there certain terrain that you feel comfortable or you feel better taking

466
00:27:11,340 --> 00:27:14,840
him to, like, are you looking for hunts in certain terrain or you just, you're just going

467
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,920
to the next one that's available?

468
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:23,840
For the most part, you know, I took him to South Carolina down there and it was in water,

469
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:28,040
you know, all night long and he just did not look good.

470
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:34,360
That's the only play, you know, I don't, that I can say that he just wouldn't himself anywhere

471
00:27:34,360 --> 00:27:35,360
else.

472
00:27:35,360 --> 00:27:37,440
Like, I like big woods for sure.

473
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:43,080
We're like, instead of those field edges and stuff, but he does good in field edges too.

474
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:47,920
Now that big water, it seemed like he struggled a little bit more than that big water.

475
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:52,040
He still treats him cones, but not, not like it was.

476
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:53,040
Right.

477
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:54,040
Yeah, absolutely.

478
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:55,440
So walk it, walk us through this truck hunt.

479
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,280
You got there and tell us about your first catch.

480
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,520
You remember who you drew and how it went?

481
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:11,080
For the, for the most part, Friday, Friday there, I hunted his brother early and got

482
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:19,840
beat so I hunted rocket lake and drew a Logan ray, Van Cleek and I can't remember that other

483
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:20,840
boy's name.

484
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:27,400
I know his dog's name was Willie and uh, Logan was hunting Tonk and Van Cleek was hunting

485
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:28,880
a pup called Fatty.

486
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,080
Fatty from J.R. Wall.

487
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:32,080
Yeah.

488
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:33,720
Hey, that Tonk dog is the real deal.

489
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,080
I've seen that sucker look good.

490
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:36,080
He's beat me right.

491
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,400
He looked good that night.

492
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,960
He took a bad break right out of the truck.

493
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:42,960
I strike.

494
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:44,320
It was after a minute.

495
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:48,080
I struck for a hundred Tonk strikes for 75.

496
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:49,320
They're different directions.

497
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:57,360
The Willie dog strikes for 50 and the fatty dog strikes for a quarter.

498
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:02,880
Well Tonk and the Willie dog fly over here right handed and come to read and I don't,

499
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:04,720
I really don't know what happened.

500
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:11,880
Uh, Tonk trees for 125 and Willie trees for 75 and they just, they just up and leave it.

501
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:16,120
So you know that, that gave me a big break there and I come to read.

502
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:20,080
When it came to me, I got a cone and uh,

503
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:21,920
You're sitting really good.

504
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:22,920
Yeah.

505
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,960
And uh, I think Tonk ends up, yeah.

506
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:30,520
Uh, Tonk ends up coming to read.

507
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:31,520
He's got a cone.

508
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:40,280
So that puts him, you know, back in it and then uh, Tonk trees another cone and we go

509
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:49,160
to, uh, I think we had to go to fatty and uh, I can't remember.

510
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:50,160
Might've had a cone.

511
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:56,440
I can't remember and I'm still just that large and then you're nervous.

512
00:29:56,440 --> 00:30:00,680
You're nervous at this point because you're struck back in for a quarter.

513
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:01,680
Yeah.

514
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:05,800
And even though, even though Tonk took a chunk, Tonk's treated two now, so he's back in the

515
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:06,800
lead.

516
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:07,800
Yeah.

517
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:16,000
And uh, and then fatty comes treated again and mine's over pretty close to him and uh,

518
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:23,240
I don't know, fatty ends up leaving and then mine comes to trade and I treat him and we

519
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:29,360
go around there and he's got a cone and I was like, uh, so that puts me back in the

520
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:35,080
lead and they was just a little bit left and Logan had a chance there because he turned

521
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,360
loose with like four or five minutes left.

522
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:45,040
If he treated another county beats me on tiebreaker and uh, just he didn't come to read during

523
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:46,040
the hunt time.

524
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,480
He come trade after and I slid through that one.

525
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,480
Are those four or five minutes or them like gut wrenching for you?

526
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:56,240
Cause I know me in those situations, I am a nervous wreck.

527
00:30:56,240 --> 00:31:00,200
I was nervous, I was waiting, you know, a quarter, I know you guys probably watched

528
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:04,680
that live and that was awful.

529
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,520
I didn't get a chance to watch it.

530
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:07,520
It was bad.

531
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,200
Oh, we'll get to it in a minute, Bryce.

532
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:11,200
We'll get to it.

533
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:12,200
All right.

534
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:13,200
All right.

535
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:14,840
We'll keep walk, walk us, walk us on through there.

536
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:16,320
So you've made it through the first round.

537
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,400
You're sitting pretty, you're in the top 16.

538
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,000
You get your picture taken in front of the truck.

539
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:27,600
Yeah and uh, I draw a, in the next round I draw weed hunting Jack.

540
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:31,440
Uh, I'm trying to think who all was it?

541
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:40,520
I, I Robert's hunting a tax dog and uh, and uh, Snooki's cookie with a Shane gross.

542
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,760
That's I mean, that's stiff right there.

543
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,000
We all know what cookie is capable of.

544
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:51,800
Ty Roberts can win with the gosh darn Yorkie and we all know Dustin weed, you know, he's

545
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,360
going to pack a good one and Jack, Jack's a good one.

546
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,080
So I mean, you're up there with the good one.

547
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:57,080
It's been on a roll.

548
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:58,440
Jack has been on a roll.

549
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,480
So goodness gracious.

550
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:04,560
Yeah, we, uh, we cut loose.

551
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:12,400
Uh, no Matt, when Jack strikes, no, I take that back tax strikes for a hundred Jack for

552
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:19,240
seventy five cookie for 50 and all under the minute and mine's not even been heard from

553
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:28,360
yet and uh, well, tax and cookie, they did, they blow out and uh, Jack, you know, he keeps

554
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:34,920
barking and uh, the cookie female and tax end up getting minus cause they struck under

555
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:35,920
the minute.

556
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:36,920
Who was the judge?

557
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:37,920
Uh, Levi.

558
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:38,920
Stevenson?

559
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:39,920
Yeah.

560
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:43,840
Put the pin to them that don't happen very often.

561
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:44,840
No.

562
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,680
And you know, the weather may have played a factor.

563
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:52,560
I don't know, you know, cause it was raining and stuff and then dogs just got out of there

564
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:58,640
and uh, I strike, I get 75 strike and uh, that's a break.

565
00:32:58,640 --> 00:32:59,640
That's a break.

566
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:01,720
Oh, you ain't kidding.

567
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:06,080
But I mean, I guess it wouldn't really ever matter, but it, it did at that.

568
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:12,240
I thought at that point because uh, mine comes true right there where, where I strike him

569
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:17,000
and I find the cone in a dim and uh, there's a break.

570
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:22,680
But yeah, that and uh, that's the only thing we've seen in the whole cast.

571
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:23,680
Oh my.

572
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:28,640
So you're already starting to see that the stars are starting to move into formation

573
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:34,880
and the moon's lining up perfect with the stars and they're rolling out the red carpet

574
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:35,880
for Sean.

575
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:40,920
I mean, at this point in time, you know, when, when this is happening, does it feel like,

576
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:44,320
Hey, this might be this, this might be my time.

577
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:51,440
Well, not to me, but my little buddy that went with me, he's like, you've won this

578
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,200
truck and his dad called.

579
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:54,200
He said, that's your truck.

580
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,200
And I was like, man, I sure hope you're right.

581
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:00,160
That's all I could say.

582
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,040
So I mean, that's so wild.

583
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,880
Are you hunting 90 minute cast at this point or two hours?

584
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:05,880
Two hours.

585
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:09,280
So you've got a world champion.

586
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,920
You got a handler that can win with a Yorkie and you have the all time money winning handler

587
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:19,000
who is packing a darn good dog and y'all tree one cone in two hours and you're in Ohio.

588
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:20,000
Yeah.

589
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:21,640
It was that is great.

590
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:22,880
That just don't line up.

591
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:29,320
No, I mean we made, we might some more trees like, uh, I know Jack made a couple of the

592
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:32,160
entries and the cookie females.

593
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:37,360
You made a couple of trees, a dentry and a, and another circle tree.

594
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:38,920
And I don't think tax.

595
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:40,880
No, he never got treated.

596
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:46,680
But I mean like the chances of those dogs making trees and not seeing a coon, especially in

597
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:50,960
multiple trees is like slim to none.

598
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:54,160
Oh, it was, it was all I can say.

599
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:55,800
It bound to just been my time.

600
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:56,800
Yeah.

601
00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:01,360
Well, I mean, cookie is speaks for herself, you know, with her accomplishments and then

602
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,800
both tax and Jack's been on a roll.

603
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:08,000
Tax went up to the, you know, him and Kai went up, they got on the front cover of the

604
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:09,000
free and pro hound.

605
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:10,000
One Labor Day classic.

606
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:11,000
Yep.

607
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,640
One winning Labor Day classics.

608
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:15,240
We'd been on a roll with Jack.

609
00:35:15,240 --> 00:35:18,680
They won first place two out of the three nights over at the junction.

610
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:22,320
Now they pick up like 34,000 in two nights.

611
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,000
34,000 two nights.

612
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:28,960
So I mean, I know, I know when you got the draw, you looked at it and was like, are you

613
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:29,960
kidding me?

614
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:31,600
Oh, for sure.

615
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:38,080
I said, this is going to be a tough one because none of them three easy draws, but, but there

616
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:45,680
isn't a better feeling for a guy like yourself from small town USA drives an hour and a half

617
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:51,080
to go hunting every single night pound and pound and pound and to draw three guys like

618
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,160
that and then come out a winner.

619
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:54,160
Oh yeah.

620
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:55,160
Yeah.

621
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,680
It was, it was something else.

622
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:01,000
All right, so we're in the final four.

623
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,720
Let's let no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

624
00:36:04,720 --> 00:36:06,560
You better slow your roll buddy.

625
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:07,560
I got questions.

626
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:08,560
Okay.

627
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:09,560
I got questions.

628
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:11,400
All right, Sean.

629
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,040
So you, you, you won or you get made through the top 16.

630
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:15,960
You know, you're in the final four.

631
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:17,880
Does it, does it play on you?

632
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,240
Does it play mind games when you're trying to go to sleep that night?

633
00:36:20,240 --> 00:36:21,240
You're like dad gone.

634
00:36:21,240 --> 00:36:23,040
Like, I'm actually here.

635
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,280
That's how much he knows.

636
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:26,280
That's how much he knows.

637
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:28,040
I'm totally back to sleep.

638
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:29,040
I do roll.

639
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:30,040
Basher.

640
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:31,040
Have you ever met me?

641
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:32,040
No, you can't.

642
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:34,360
I'm over here yawning on camera on this dag on interview.

643
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:35,360
Cause I get it.

644
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:36,360
I get it.

645
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:40,480
Right now it's nine o'clock at this point in time, you would not be sleeping.

646
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:41,720
Did you, I got a question.

647
00:36:41,720 --> 00:36:42,960
I got a question for you.

648
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,120
Friday night of the UKC world.

649
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:49,720
When you drew that short straw, did you go to sleep in between the two rounds?

650
00:36:49,720 --> 00:36:50,720
Yes, absolutely.

651
00:36:50,720 --> 00:36:51,720
You did not.

652
00:36:51,720 --> 00:36:52,720
You liar.

653
00:36:52,720 --> 00:36:53,720
Yes, I did.

654
00:36:53,720 --> 00:36:57,960
All right, Sean, I'm sorry that he hijacked that.

655
00:36:57,960 --> 00:36:59,680
So did it play on your nerves?

656
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:03,580
Like, did it bother you any, like were you nervous leading up to that day?

657
00:37:03,580 --> 00:37:08,080
How does the print, the proceeding time up to this hunt look like for you?

658
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:09,760
Oh yeah.

659
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:10,760
I was nervous.

660
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:12,480
I mean, I usually don't get too nervous.

661
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:18,960
I wasn't nervous in the top 16, but once I won that cast, you know, you're nervous, they

662
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,260
definitely start playing a factor.

663
00:37:21,260 --> 00:37:27,440
So driving back to the club, knowing that you're a winner, knowing that in an hour timeframe,

664
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:31,600
you're going to be right back into the woods hunting for a truck.

665
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:32,600
Oh, okay.

666
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:33,600
Gosh darn it.

667
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:38,840
I, guys, I have to right here on public national everything radio podcast.

668
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:40,840
I have to apologize.

669
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,840
Dude, I'm, I've, this is how tired I am.

670
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:45,680
This is how much I've been working lately.

671
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,300
I forgot that that was in the same night.

672
00:37:48,300 --> 00:37:49,300
It's in the early round.

673
00:37:49,300 --> 00:37:53,760
I just got back from the UKC world and what I was thinking was, you know, the final four

674
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:55,680
or the final three hunt the next day.

675
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:58,760
Man, y'all see what I deal with day in and day out.

676
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:00,360
I have to apologize.

677
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:01,360
I'm human.

678
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,240
I mean, but dude, I'm telling you.

679
00:38:03,240 --> 00:38:04,240
Yeah.

680
00:38:04,240 --> 00:38:07,280
So I apologize, Sean, because like I was sitting there thinking it was just like the UKC where

681
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:11,960
you go to the top 16, go to the top nine, and then you have a day off or at night and

682
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:13,680
the next day you hunt your finals.

683
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,760
But I stand corrected folks, take it right here.

684
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:18,640
You heard it first on the Semper Dogg and podcast.

685
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:19,960
Bryce Matthews is wrong.

686
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:21,640
So, okay.

687
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,380
So you just, you gotta go right into a late round.

688
00:38:24,380 --> 00:38:26,680
So you're, okay.

689
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:29,600
Everything I said before him, we just need to edit this out, but we're not going to cause

690
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:31,240
it's Semper Dogg.

691
00:38:31,240 --> 00:38:32,920
It's Semper Dogg and we just keep rolling.

692
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:33,920
But yeah.

693
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:37,880
So you, you leave the woods, you know, that within an hour, hour and a half, I know you're

694
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:39,800
making a phone call to your buddies.

695
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:42,440
You're talking to Doug while Doug's smoking a cigarette.

696
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:48,560
You know, I learned, I learned that from the live feed and uh, you get back.

697
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:53,600
And then what's the feeling like in the room between you and the other three guys?

698
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:58,600
See real quick, I know one of the other guys, I know the guy that you walked to at the very

699
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:03,120
end of the cast, which I'll let you get to that.

700
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:04,120
Great dude.

701
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:05,120
John Holland.

702
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:06,120
Great dude.

703
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:08,760
He comes up and hunts with me a little bit here and there.

704
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:14,960
He just purchased Hank and I know this was his first ever pro sport hunt.

705
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:21,600
So I know between you and him, both of you guys were probably on pins and needles.

706
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,360
What was the feeling in the room like?

707
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:28,640
I don't really, I don't know how to explain it.

708
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,920
It wasn't, you know, everybody just kind of, everybody was just talking.

709
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:35,520
It wasn't, you just want to get it over with.

710
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:36,520
Yeah, I think so.

711
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:40,280
I mean, you know, Nikki, he's been in everything.

712
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:41,920
So it was nothing new to him.

713
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:42,920
And hold on.

714
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:43,920
Let's lay it out.

715
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:44,920
Who's the, who's the final four?

716
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:50,960
It's a Nikki Hale with downtime.

717
00:39:50,960 --> 00:40:00,080
Jonathan with Hank and Colton Dunlap with that Max female.

718
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:01,080
Okay.

719
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:05,160
So, you know, Colton's won a bunch too.

720
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:11,960
And then they wasn't probably near as nervous as me for sure.

721
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:19,320
And it was just pretty laid back really at the club waiting.

722
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:20,880
Okay.

723
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:21,880
Walkers through the cast.

724
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:22,880
I'm ready to hear it.

725
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:27,040
Bastion has been chomping at the bit for dag on 40 minutes now wanting to hear this part

726
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:28,320
of the story.

727
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,080
I watched, I watched it live.

728
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:31,080
All right.

729
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:34,200
Well then you can tell us your side of it too, but I haven't, I didn't watch it.

730
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:37,180
I didn't know nothing about it until I woke up the next morning and saw it.

731
00:40:37,180 --> 00:40:39,800
So I'm ready to hear, I'm ready to hear all about it.

732
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:42,200
You're going to get excited listening to it because I know you.

733
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:43,200
All right, let's go.

734
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:44,200
Let's roll.

735
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:46,600
It was definitely nerve wracking.

736
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:55,680
I know we turned loose and down goes out through their urgent time.

737
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:58,400
I think, yeah, that's what he calls it.

738
00:40:58,400 --> 00:40:59,400
He's a barker.

739
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:05,800
He goes out to their barking and mine right, right before the minutes up, mine makes one

740
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:06,800
big ball.

741
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:08,720
I thought, man, I should have struck him.

742
00:41:08,720 --> 00:41:10,600
Man, I didn't.

743
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:16,200
And as quick as mine quit, quit his one or two barks there, Nicky strikes.

744
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:20,960
I thought, well, and then it's like probably a minute before mine barks again and I get

745
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:24,400
struck for 75.

746
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:32,440
The max female gets struck for 50 and Hank gets struck for a quarter.

747
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:43,800
But out of that, Hank comes treed and he trees him and Nicky trees in there with him for

748
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:44,800
a quarter.

749
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:52,000
Well, as we're walking in there to them, mine was treed, but I went ahead and treed him

750
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,840
way left handed, you know, left handed to them.

751
00:41:55,840 --> 00:42:06,320
And then Colton trees his kind of in the same direction as Time and Hank.

752
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:08,680
But she's actually she split off to the right.

753
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,200
So we go in there to them.

754
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:12,200
It takes them forever.

755
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:14,520
I didn't think they'd find it, Coon.

756
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:17,360
That first tree, Nicky finds it.

757
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:22,640
Sitting down low, recut them.

758
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:23,640
Time gets struck back.

759
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:30,400
We go to go to me and I another one find the cone in a den.

760
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:31,400
Our judge does.

761
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:35,680
And I was like, oh, you know, here we go.

762
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:39,200
And the one that was struck for 100 ends up, you know, pre-pre-quarter.

763
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:40,960
So that was a big break for me, too.

764
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,520
Me struck for 75.

765
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:49,480
I recut him and we head to Max and she's got a circle tree.

766
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:54,720
Well, my Garmin, I can tell mine's done trees, I just can't hear him good.

767
00:42:54,720 --> 00:43:02,000
And Time comes treed in between where Max was and where mine's at.

768
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:07,520
So we go to Time and he's got a circle tree.

769
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:09,560
And I finally get mine.

770
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:15,080
No, Colton strikes and trees hidden and I strike and tree mine the other way.

771
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:19,680
But Colton, we go to Max first, she's got a cone.

772
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:23,400
And come back to me, I got another cone.

773
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:31,480
So we were both recut and Nicky's trees, Time again, way through there.

774
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:33,440
And so does Jonathan.

775
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:35,240
He strikes and trees his way through there.

776
00:43:35,240 --> 00:43:37,480
Well, we go in there and Nicky's is off running.

777
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:45,000
So he takes a pump and go on in to Jonathan and he's got another cone.

778
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:49,480
So that gives him 300.

779
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:51,120
Max has got 150.

780
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:56,280
I've got 350.

781
00:43:56,280 --> 00:44:06,920
So mine's still at large and Max, yeah, Max has struck and mine's over there, gets over

782
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:12,360
toward her and gets struck and they're screaming a track down through here.

783
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:22,200
And mine comes treed and I set there and Max comes treed and I set there.

784
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:26,560
And Basher, what are you laughing at?

785
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:32,960
Because as he's playing this, I'm replaying in my head Greg Maynard's comments on this

786
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:33,960
live feed.

787
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:37,800
And Greg's saying, what is he doing?

788
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:39,600
What is this boy doing?

789
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:44,560
And so he finally, Colton actually ends up getting first tree on him.

790
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:47,280
He takes second and Greg looks over at him.

791
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:48,960
Oh yeah, you took 50.

792
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:54,200
Greg turned around, looked over at him and said, you just gave it away, boy.

793
00:44:54,200 --> 00:45:00,720
And so I've worked on the dog so hard for being around anything that that's what had

794
00:45:00,720 --> 00:45:01,720
me scared.

795
00:45:01,720 --> 00:45:06,280
And I feel like I could have easily treated him for first.

796
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:10,000
And I was like, man, where that female was right there with him, I was like, as quick

797
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:15,000
as I do, he'll leave and this is going to cost me no matter what.

798
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:21,640
So I treat for 50 thinking, well, as long as Jonathan don't come treed again, I'm still

799
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:23,600
in first.

800
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:29,200
And going there, we got another cone that gives me 425 and we're leading off of it and

801
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:35,240
Jonathan gets his truck and treat way things are.

802
00:45:35,240 --> 00:45:39,240
And I thought, man, I just give his truck away.

803
00:45:39,240 --> 00:45:41,880
I said, that's a walk.

804
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:44,480
I don't, he had to be over a mile.

805
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:46,480
He was a long way.

806
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:47,480
Yeah.

807
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:54,240
So here you are, you're sitting at 425 knowing, knowing that if you would have took first

808
00:45:54,240 --> 00:45:55,920
on that tree, you sowed it up.

809
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:57,480
Nobody can touch you.

810
00:45:57,480 --> 00:45:59,280
So he ends up taking third.

811
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:01,520
But what if you, but what if you would have took second here?

812
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:02,840
Does that, does that get you tied?

813
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:05,040
Does third tie you like, where does third put you guys right now?

814
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:08,000
If Jonathan has a coon.

815
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:17,080
He would have beat me because by quarter, three, no, no, no, you would have beat, you would

816
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:19,080
have beat him on.

817
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:20,440
Yeah.

818
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:22,920
You would have beat him on.

819
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:25,400
He would have beat me on most plus three points.

820
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:26,400
Okay.

821
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:28,480
So, so he beat you on tiebreaker.

822
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:29,480
Yes.

823
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:30,480
Yeah.

824
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:36,320
If you go in for 50, no, if he goes in for 75, you had to have first three.

825
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:37,320
Yeah.

826
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:38,320
Yeah.

827
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:43,440
Or like, you know, the only reason I've done trade for 50 was to, you know, to protect

828
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:44,440
yourself.

829
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:45,440
Yes.

830
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:46,440
Yep.

831
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:47,440
Yep.

832
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:48,440
He was playing defense.

833
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:49,440
Hey, sometimes the best offense is a good defense.

834
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:50,440
Hey.

835
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:55,360
So like I said, the reason why I laugh about it is because Greg Maynard's comments, you

836
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:59,640
know, the whole time he's looking at Sean saying, boy, you just gave away that truck.

837
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:03,120
And so here, here, let's paint a picture for you, Bryce.

838
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:06,640
He said that for 25 plus, he pulls off of history.

839
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:13,600
He said that for 25 plus he's got Hank setting it 300 plus max is sitting at 300 plus.

840
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:16,200
Oh, it gets even better.

841
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:18,600
We're about to even paint you a better picture, Bryce.

842
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:20,640
Paint me a coon hunt.

843
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:27,600
So John strikes and trees Hank through the country over a mile.

844
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:36,160
They said they cut max and they cut his dog loose and tell Mr. Bryce Matthews what those

845
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:37,160
two did.

846
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:42,360
Well, yeah, we, I thought we had plenty enough time to tree another cone and we did.

847
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:48,800
We had probably, I don't know, 15, 20 minutes and they suck back and go to that same tree.

848
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:49,800
Come on.

849
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:55,000
And I was like, Oh no, you know, of course we didn't, we ain't going to tree them now.

850
00:47:55,000 --> 00:48:02,160
And so we got to walk that mile, you know, or I do mile, mile and a half or whatever

851
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:07,880
it was in there sick thinking, I just, it's over because if Hank, because if Hank's got

852
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:14,560
a cone, Hank's got four 50 and Mr. Sean for has got 425.

853
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:16,320
What is the rules in pro sport?

854
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:18,960
And I've only hunted a handful of pro sports, so I'm not up to date.

855
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:22,440
What's the rules on going back to the same tree there?

856
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:27,680
If we had to treat them, or one of us would have treated, we'd have both took 125 minus

857
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:28,680
piece.

858
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:30,480
Gotcha.

859
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:36,960
But because John got treated in so far away, they were never going to run stationary or

860
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:40,600
anything because by the time they get to John's, the hunt's going to be over.

861
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:41,600
Correct.

862
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:42,600
Yeah.

863
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:43,600
I'm following.

864
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:44,840
I was just doing that for my own personal knowledge.

865
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:48,480
It all boils down to a mile walk.

866
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:56,080
Sean, every step's got to think all I had to do was take first tree and this dog can't

867
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:57,080
beat me.

868
00:48:57,080 --> 00:49:03,280
But now I'm walking a mile to a dog and if he's got a cone, I would.

869
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:04,280
Yeah.

870
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:07,200
And I've hunted with Hank quite a bit too.

871
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:10,040
And what I've seen, that dude's got him.

872
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:12,720
I was like, oh man, here we go.

873
00:49:12,720 --> 00:49:21,120
So the whole, I bet it's a good 30 minutes on the live feed where they're just walking

874
00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:24,000
to this dog, Creed.

875
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:31,740
And I mean, the whole time, you can just feel the tension on Sean's part knowing, and Greg,

876
00:49:31,740 --> 00:49:35,600
it didn't help that Greg had to mention it at least 15 to 20 times.

877
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:38,720
Is Maynard judging this thing or is he just walking around commentating?

878
00:49:38,720 --> 00:49:39,720
Play by play.

879
00:49:39,720 --> 00:49:40,720
Okay.

880
00:49:40,720 --> 00:49:45,400
I think he would have been just play by play panel stuff.

881
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:48,240
Who's judging?

882
00:49:48,240 --> 00:49:49,240
Kenny Hunt.

883
00:49:49,240 --> 00:49:50,240
Okay.

884
00:49:50,240 --> 00:49:51,240
All right.

885
00:49:51,240 --> 00:49:55,200
So, so you're walking and you're a nervous wreck.

886
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:58,520
Yeah.

887
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:03,240
We finally get in there and first thing you walk up this little bank right to him and

888
00:50:03,240 --> 00:50:07,200
there's a possum just sitting down low.

889
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:15,480
And man, it relieved me in a way, but literally the week before that, me and my buddy was

890
00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:19,120
out hunting and we treated a cone and a possum in the same tree.

891
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:24,080
I mean, that week leading up to that hunt, me and him treated a possum and a cone in

892
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:25,080
the same tree.

893
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:29,680
I was like, oh man, I just hope he ain't got a cone, which I mean, he may have had a cone

894
00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:35,040
in there because it was a den and it was a mess all around him.

895
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:42,800
But we looked and looked and then at one point the guide, I think he found something, a dark

896
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:46,000
spot sitting in the top of this other tree.

897
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:47,000
His heart sunk.

898
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:48,000
Oh man.

899
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:51,180
I was like, oh no, here it is.

900
00:50:51,180 --> 00:50:56,680
But I got over and I looked too and you could easily tell it was part of the tree.

901
00:50:56,680 --> 00:51:00,920
And I was like, whew, there we go.

902
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:06,440
And at that time there was just like a minute left, so I finally started getting a little

903
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:13,280
relief and heard that watch go off and I'd wanted it was amazing.

904
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:16,680
What's that feeling like that comes over you and you hear that timer just start beeping?

905
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:24,280
Oh man, it was just all kinds of emotion for me because that's every cone hunter, that

906
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:31,680
hunted hunts, that's a lifelong dream to win something big and I finally done it.

907
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:32,680
You did it, man.

908
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:33,680
You're there.

909
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:34,920
A truck winner.

910
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:38,720
What kind of truck did you win?

911
00:51:38,720 --> 00:51:40,880
One of those Colorado Trail Boss.

912
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:41,880
All right.

913
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:45,400
2025 Colorado Trail Boss, huh?

914
00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:48,320
And I think Greg said it perfectly during his interview.

915
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:52,640
He said, this is why we do, why Pro Sport keeps doing what they do.

916
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:58,620
And not to throw shade at you at all because it's actually the complete opposite.

917
00:51:58,620 --> 00:52:03,420
But in his interview, Sean got emotional as any of us would.

918
00:52:03,420 --> 00:52:08,160
You're out here day in and day night just driving and driving and driving and get so

919
00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:13,360
close and get so close and you lose and you lose and you lose until finally you break

920
00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:18,660
through and you get that win that you've been trying for.

921
00:52:18,660 --> 00:52:21,240
And it's like you said, it's so many.

922
00:52:21,240 --> 00:52:24,680
I mean, I've never got there so I can't tell you what it would feel like.

923
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:29,080
But I can only imagine just watching your face and your reaction.

924
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:35,460
You know, I remember you probably do too when Greg finally broke his slump and he won that

925
00:52:35,460 --> 00:52:41,720
truck and he was an absolute wreck on his interview because it's just, like I said,

926
00:52:41,720 --> 00:52:47,260
you push so hard and you put so much effort and time and heart and blood, sweat and tears

927
00:52:47,260 --> 00:52:54,040
into this thing and to finally break through, it don't matter what kind of man you are,

928
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:55,720
there's just no holding back.

929
00:52:55,720 --> 00:52:57,280
Yeah, definitely not.

930
00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:01,160
I'm not and I'm not one to get on camera at all.

931
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:06,720
If you've ever seen me, I'll go in the clubhouse, sign up and I'll go back to my truck.

932
00:53:06,720 --> 00:53:14,320
I mean, I try to it ain't that I don't I just get nervous and there was, you know,

933
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:17,920
I just all that emotion as I go, man.

934
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:21,800
So like when you're driving back to the clubhouse and you get all the pictures taken, everything

935
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:24,040
said and done, how does it work?

936
00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:27,560
I mean, I've actually wondered this and I've never asked anybody like what is the process

937
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:28,560
after that?

938
00:53:28,560 --> 00:53:31,680
Do you actually take do they have the keys and the title and everything right there?

939
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:35,640
Like you take the truck home or do you have to like wait like a gun whenever you buy it?

940
00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:37,880
You have to wait five days for you can get your prize.

941
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:39,540
Like how does that work?

942
00:53:39,540 --> 00:53:45,960
Now you take you take it straight home like you got to call and get your title and stuff.

943
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:48,960
But you get the truck right then.

944
00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:50,960
Did you drive it home?

945
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:51,960
Yeah.

946
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:54,720
That's a good feeling, wasn't it?

947
00:53:54,720 --> 00:53:56,760
Oh man, you ain't kidding.

948
00:53:56,760 --> 00:53:58,600
Did the dog ride in the front seat?

949
00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:00,800
No, because I knew it.

950
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:02,440
You know, me and him, we had done talked about it.

951
00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:03,440
We was going to sell it.

952
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:09,320
I didn't I didn't want to get it all nasty because he was he was a muddy mess.

953
00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:12,520
So OK, so that's you've already kind of opened the door there.

954
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:19,140
Like when you're hunting for somebody full time, obviously you have to split winnings

955
00:54:19,140 --> 00:54:23,160
and earnings somehow some way and everybody has their own way of doing that.

956
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:29,000
But like when you're going to a truck hunt, you go in there knowing fully your full understanding

957
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:32,280
that if you win the truck, you're probably not going to keep the truck.

958
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:33,280
Yeah, yeah.

959
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:39,240
Which I mean, like, you know, Doug, he gave me the option I could have bought him or or

960
00:54:39,240 --> 00:54:41,440
whatever if I wanted to keep it.

961
00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:46,440
But me, you know, I've always been a poor guy.

962
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:47,440
I want the money.

963
00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:52,300
So, you know, I and I, you know, I got a decent truck.

964
00:54:52,300 --> 00:54:54,600
So this made more sense to sell it.

965
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:56,560
And Doug got a nice truck.

966
00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:57,560
Yeah.

967
00:54:57,560 --> 00:54:59,240
And so he didn't need it.

968
00:54:59,240 --> 00:55:00,240
I got you.

969
00:55:00,240 --> 00:55:01,240
I was just curious.

970
00:55:01,240 --> 00:55:03,480
I was like, you know, it's so cool to say you're a truck winner, but I want to know

971
00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:07,980
how many times the guys actually keep the trucks.

972
00:55:07,980 --> 00:55:08,980
Very few, actually.

973
00:55:08,980 --> 00:55:09,980
I know that's not very many.

974
00:55:09,980 --> 00:55:18,160
I mean, if you really think about it, Logan Ray kept his even though it don't look like

975
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:19,640
it's a brand new truck anymore.

976
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:21,520
It's his hunting truck.

977
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:27,200
So Logan Ray kept his, you know, I think Ward kept one of his.

978
00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:29,360
Yeah, you know, he's only one five of them.

979
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:32,040
So yeah, might as well keep one.

980
00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:35,800
Yeah, I know Strickland ain't keeping none of his.

981
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:37,560
I don't think I think duals one, two of them.

982
00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:38,800
I don't think duals kept one of his.

983
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:42,360
I think he kept one for a couple of weeks, but I don't think he's kept either of the

984
00:55:42,360 --> 00:55:43,360
two.

985
00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:44,360
He's one.

986
00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:46,120
I think it's just financially.

987
00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:50,640
I think it just makes more sense to get rid of them just because like you said, there ain't

988
00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:56,860
very many, there ain't very many people going to these hunts that are owner handlers now,

989
00:55:56,860 --> 00:55:59,520
like John Holland, he would have won it.

990
00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:02,720
He would have kept it because that is his dog.

991
00:56:02,720 --> 00:56:04,320
That is his entry.

992
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:05,480
That is his money.

993
00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:09,920
That is he is the owner handler trainer, everything.

994
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:11,600
So he yeah.

995
00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:14,240
So if he would have won it, John would have kept it.

996
00:56:14,240 --> 00:56:20,680
But like I said, it's just financially it just it really doesn't in most cases, it don't

997
00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:21,680
really make sense.

998
00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:24,520
I wonder if Engel kept the black widow.

999
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:25,520
He did.

1000
00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:27,520
I've seen him drive.

1001
00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:28,520
Yeah.

1002
00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:29,520
Yeah.

1003
00:56:29,520 --> 00:56:30,520
You're right.

1004
00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:31,520
I saw him pull up.

1005
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:35,160
Heck, it was at winter classic down in Bayfield, Mississippi.

1006
00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:37,360
And I saw him driving that black widow truck.

1007
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:39,040
Yeah, that's a hundred thousand dollars.

1008
00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:42,720
That was that was the same time that they had the Jarvis Umphers a hundred thousand

1009
00:56:42,720 --> 00:56:44,720
hunt going on right there close to Batesville.

1010
00:56:44,720 --> 00:56:48,400
And I saw Engel at a gas station down there driving that truck.

1011
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:51,120
So all right, Sean, you see you've won the truck.

1012
00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:53,040
And does life just go on after that?

1013
00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:57,480
Or do you take a four or five day vacation and think about what you've done?

1014
00:56:57,480 --> 00:56:59,920
Are you right back in the woods after it?

1015
00:56:59,920 --> 00:57:04,880
I think I took Sunday off and then I went to hunt Monday.

1016
00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:05,880
Good grief.

1017
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:06,880
God bless it.

1018
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:07,880
I went a little bit.

1019
00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:15,040
I went to UKC hunt and I take three days off just for myself.

1020
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:18,040
So what's next?

1021
00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:20,600
Just whatever.

1022
00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:24,080
You know, really to say what's next, I don't I don't know.

1023
00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:33,520
But we'll we'll definitely be up and whatever the next one is, we'll be there.

1024
00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:34,520
That's awesome, man.

1025
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:37,360
Well, hey, I've had a blast learning about this.

1026
00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:38,360
Like you did.

1027
00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:40,960
You were nervous about coming on here, but I think you did a great job, man.

1028
00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:41,960
I appreciate it.

1029
00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:43,760
I thought you had.

1030
00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:45,080
I'm definitely not a speaker.

1031
00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:46,360
No, you did great.

1032
00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:48,160
I've learned a ton.

1033
00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:52,480
It's whenever he was on the phone call, whenever I was getting him on here, he said, hey, you're

1034
00:57:52,480 --> 00:57:53,720
going to carry me through this.

1035
00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:55,280
He said, I'm not good at talking.

1036
00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:57,120
We have to carry nothing.

1037
00:57:57,120 --> 00:58:03,880
I said me and Bryce are good at good at asking open ended questions that make you answer.

1038
00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:07,080
And the only thing Sean and I got to carry is the weight of a late round win.

1039
00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:08,440
See that picture right there?

1040
00:58:08,440 --> 00:58:10,360
You see that picture right there, Basham?

1041
00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:12,240
That's a super stakes late round win right there.

1042
00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:17,480
I mean, if you really want to put our wins against each other, I mean, any day, buddy,

1043
00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:22,240
I'm just having fun picking on you right now because I can.

1044
00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:25,480
Any day you want to put your wins against mine.

1045
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:32,400
But anyways, one quick last thing, Sean, anybody, anybody particular that you want to give thanks

1046
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:38,400
to shout out to because I know I know that you're a lot like me and that it's a family

1047
00:58:38,400 --> 00:58:42,680
tradition and you know, you wouldn't be where you're at if it weren't for the people behind

1048
00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:43,680
you.

1049
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:47,840
So go ahead and take a few minutes and give those that, you know, deserve recognition,

1050
00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:50,840
a little bit of recognition.

1051
00:58:50,840 --> 00:58:54,720
Yeah, I definitely, you know, the Lord for sure.

1052
00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:59,080
I mean, like I said, you know, you can't do nothing without him.

1053
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:06,560
And my wife and kids, they spent a lot of, you know, nights at home without me there.

1054
00:59:06,560 --> 00:59:10,000
And my wife does a really good job of keeping everything going at home.

1055
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:12,560
I mean, for sure.

1056
00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:19,800
And Doug Miller, he's he's been the number one to it all.

1057
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:25,920
And Jake Glover for raising these pups and, you know, heck, me and him, like I said, we

1058
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:29,640
hunt five, six nights a week all night.

1059
00:59:29,640 --> 00:59:33,000
And he's always right there for me.

1060
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:40,920
And little Levi coming with me as my luck that I want to thank him as daddy for letting

1061
00:59:40,920 --> 00:59:41,920
him go.

1062
00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:45,040
Scott, he he he haunts with me a lot.

1063
00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:52,040
And just everybody's called, text, Facebook message, everything.

1064
00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:53,840
I really appreciate it.

1065
00:59:53,840 --> 00:59:56,000
That's been awesome.

1066
00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:58,560
Bastion, before we get off here, though, I got a couple of things I want to add in unless

1067
00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:00,480
you got something else you're ready to go ahead.

1068
01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:01,480
But Chompette.

1069
01:00:01,480 --> 01:00:02,480
Yeah, guys.

1070
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:05,480
So obviously, there's a couple of things we just need to touch base on here.

1071
01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:09,000
And I think somewhere that you know, something that is unique that we get to do this platform

1072
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:13,800
is, you know, we can spread the good and we can spread we can spread the bad, we can spread

1073
01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:16,240
the wealth, we can spread the knowledge.

1074
01:00:16,240 --> 01:00:19,320
But the best thing we can do is spread the camaraderie with everybody.

1075
01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:23,040
And there's a lot of people right now who need some support out there.

1076
01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:27,480
Obviously, we know what's going on down there in North Carolina and down south, you know,

1077
01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:31,600
with that hurricane come through and just absolutely wiped out towns.

1078
01:00:31,600 --> 01:00:33,720
You know, we the Coonhuntin family.

1079
01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:36,440
Goodness gracious, what happened in my kitchen?

1080
01:00:36,440 --> 01:00:37,440
Sorry about that.

1081
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:41,560
The the Coonhuntin family here, you know, we lost we lost one of our own this weekend

1082
01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:44,320
down there in all that.

1083
01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:46,840
You know, I saw several posts.

1084
01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:47,840
Yes, sir.

1085
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:48,840
Boone.

1086
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:50,560
What was what was Boone's last name?

1087
01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:52,400
McCreary, I believe.

1088
01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:53,400
Yep.

1089
01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:54,600
Yeah, Boone McCreary.

1090
01:00:54,600 --> 01:00:56,240
So you know, we lost him.

1091
01:00:56,240 --> 01:01:00,440
He was out there trying to help others, you know, being selfless, a selfless act, taking

1092
01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:03,120
his boat out, trying to find some of those victims.

1093
01:01:03,120 --> 01:01:08,560
And unfortunately, unfortunately, you know, Boone, Boone, we he left us earth this weekend.

1094
01:01:08,560 --> 01:01:11,440
And that's just it's just terrible.

1095
01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:14,960
There's just a lot of stuff going on that people need some prayers for right now.

1096
01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:20,680
I know right before we got here on this podcast, I heard that Chirpy Birdsaw passed away.

1097
01:01:20,680 --> 01:01:24,880
Those that know Doc and Chirpy, they're big, big, big into the show world.

1098
01:01:24,880 --> 01:01:28,760
There's Doc was supposed to judge the world this year and didn't make it due to COVID

1099
01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:30,560
him and him and Chirpy both come down with it.

1100
01:01:30,560 --> 01:01:32,200
And unfortunately, Chirpy passed.

1101
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:33,360
So there's just a lot going on right now.

1102
01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:34,960
A lot of people need some prayer requests right now.

1103
01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:38,800
So if you all just take a chance, throw those up there.

1104
01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:41,040
You know, there's a lot of people who should appreciate it.

1105
01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:42,040
Definitely.

1106
01:01:42,040 --> 01:01:46,720
And anything that we can do, guys, this podcast to be going out, I'll just in a couple of

1107
01:01:46,720 --> 01:01:47,720
days.

1108
01:01:47,720 --> 01:01:54,200
And so anything that Simper Doggin can do, I know that me and Bryce, anything that we

1109
01:01:54,200 --> 01:02:00,320
can do to help anybody down there, just a hit us up on Facebook or hit us up on messenger.

1110
01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:04,160
If you got our numbers, just hit us up and let us know if there's any way, shape or form

1111
01:02:04,160 --> 01:02:05,160
that we can help.

1112
01:02:05,160 --> 01:02:06,880
We'd love to help out.

1113
01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:10,600
And if like I said, guys, just keep them up in your prayers.

1114
01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:12,040
I can't even imagine.

1115
01:02:12,040 --> 01:02:14,560
I think everybody's seen the videos and stuff.

1116
01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:19,640
And you know, a big shout out to Keith, your brother-in-law, you know, dealing with what

1117
01:02:19,640 --> 01:02:20,960
they're dealing with down there.

1118
01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:26,640
So yeah, just heart prayers, thoughts, just everything for those guys down there.

1119
01:02:26,640 --> 01:02:29,160
And man, then pictures and stuff.

1120
01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:30,960
Keith sent me some videos.

1121
01:02:30,960 --> 01:02:31,960
It's just wild.

1122
01:02:31,960 --> 01:02:35,200
They live right there on the side of the mountain and like every tree on their mountain is uprooted

1123
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:36,200
and laid over.

1124
01:02:36,200 --> 01:02:38,560
I mean, it just you can see the whole next range.

1125
01:02:38,560 --> 01:02:42,680
Like I said, it took him 10 and a half hours to clear like a quarter mile down the road

1126
01:02:42,680 --> 01:02:44,680
to chainsaw just to get to the stop sign.

1127
01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:46,560
Like it's just, it's wild.

1128
01:02:46,560 --> 01:02:47,560
They got no service.

1129
01:02:47,560 --> 01:02:50,040
I actually texted him today, you know, just to check on them, see how they're doing.

1130
01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:51,840
And I still don't think they got no phone service.

1131
01:02:51,840 --> 01:02:55,160
The only time they get it, whenever they go into a major city, which is a long ways away

1132
01:02:55,160 --> 01:02:56,360
because all the roads are torn up.

1133
01:02:56,360 --> 01:03:00,000
So just got to keep, keep up in our prayers.

1134
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:01,000
So absolutely.

1135
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:04,880
Well, Sean, thank you so much for joining us here on the Semper Dog and podcast, buddy.

1136
01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:08,080
We sure appreciate you joining us and taking time out of your, out of your evening.

1137
01:03:08,080 --> 01:03:09,400
I know you're getting ready to go hunting.

1138
01:03:09,400 --> 01:03:11,200
Basham's got dogs already loaded.

1139
01:03:11,200 --> 01:03:14,360
I guess I'll get my butt out of this chair and put some clothes on and I'm going to go

1140
01:03:14,360 --> 01:03:15,360
myself.

1141
01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:17,440
But, uh, it's, it's going to be, it's going to be fun, Sean.

1142
01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:20,960
I look forward, I look forward to, uh, you know, seeing how you're doing these next times,

1143
01:03:20,960 --> 01:03:22,080
but it will be rooting on for you.

1144
01:03:22,080 --> 01:03:24,880
And I always feel like I get a new friend at the end of these podcasts and if I meet

1145
01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:25,880
somebody I didn't know.

1146
01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:27,320
So that's exciting for me.

1147
01:03:27,320 --> 01:03:28,320
Yes, sir.

1148
01:03:28,320 --> 01:03:30,360
I appreciate y'all for having me.

1149
01:03:30,360 --> 01:03:31,680
Hey, no problem.

1150
01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:32,680
Thank you.

1151
01:03:32,680 --> 01:03:35,600
Thank you for getting on here and telling your story, bud.

1152
01:03:35,600 --> 01:03:40,840
Congratulations on your win and, uh, you know, good luck on your next one.

1153
01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:41,840
Thank you.

1154
01:03:41,840 --> 01:03:42,840
All right, bash them.

1155
01:03:42,840 --> 01:03:44,200
I'm good if you're good.

1156
01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:45,200
We're good buddy.

1157
01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:46,200
Till next time.

1158
01:03:46,200 --> 01:03:47,200
Hi guys.

1159
01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:48,380
Join us on them dog in Tuesdays.

1160
01:03:48,380 --> 01:03:50,440
Those are getting hot and heavy now that you're getting fun.

1161
01:03:50,440 --> 01:03:55,160
We got a lot of people that join us over on the simple dog and podcast Facebook group.

1162
01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:58,080
They're interacting, commenting, going back and forth.

1163
01:03:58,080 --> 01:03:59,960
The dog and Tuesdays are fun.

1164
01:03:59,960 --> 01:04:01,680
Uh, this next one.

1165
01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:02,680
No, hold on.

1166
01:04:02,680 --> 01:04:04,680
What do you got?

1167
01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:10,760
Uh, I think I recall about a month ago, I got a certain phone call from a certain in

1168
01:04:10,760 --> 01:04:15,520
individual that said, man, I just, I just don't know if dog and Tuesdays are really

1169
01:04:15,520 --> 01:04:16,520
worth it.

1170
01:04:16,520 --> 01:04:21,920
The hard part for me is dog and Tuesdays are obviously on Tuesdays and that's my boys have

1171
01:04:21,920 --> 01:04:22,920
football games.

1172
01:04:22,920 --> 01:04:24,040
Like it's hard for me to get home.

1173
01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:27,120
So this next Tuesday is going to be at one of them deals as well.

1174
01:04:27,120 --> 01:04:28,520
Their games like an hour away.

1175
01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:32,800
So I'll be struggling to make it home on time, but I'm going to be there one way or the other.

1176
01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:34,760
So you were wrong.

1177
01:04:34,760 --> 01:04:36,160
I already did that once this podcast.

1178
01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:37,160
I ain't doing it twice.

1179
01:04:37,160 --> 01:04:38,160
All right.

1180
01:04:38,160 --> 01:04:39,640
Well, we're done guys.

1181
01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:40,640
We're signing off here.

1182
01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:43,920

01:04:47,040 --> 01:04:50,320
We sure appreciate you guys hanging out with two guys who like to have fun.

So, uh, if you guys have anybody that you'd like to hear on the podcast, let us know we'd

1189
01:04:58,760 --> 01:05:00,000
like to reach out to them.

1190
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:01,720
I know the Coon hunting world is swamped.

1191
01:05:01,720 --> 01:05:05,120
This is probably the second podcast that Sean's already been on for his truck hunting.

1192
01:05:05,120 --> 01:05:09,480
When, even though we were the first ones to reach out to him, I'll have you know, Mason

1193

Bush.

1194
01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:11,480
I'm having a little fun with you buddy.

1195
01:05:11,480 --> 01:05:14,280
Uh, he got to Sean before we did.

1196
01:05:14,280 --> 01:05:16,400
So, uh, you know, the Coon hunting world is swamped.

1197
01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:19,240
People love the competition, but we want to talk to some of you guys who maybe just some

1198
01:05:19,240 --> 01:05:23,520
pleasure hunters, bear hunters, coyote guys, you know, we, we've had people on here for

1199
01:05:23,520 --> 01:05:24,800
the agility and the fly ball.

1200
01:05:24,800 --> 01:05:28,360
We've had all kinds of people on here, but if there's anybody that you guys want to hear,

1201
01:05:28,360 --> 01:05:29,360
let us know.

1202
01:05:29,360 --> 01:05:32,940
Uh, we'll try to get in contact with them and give the listeners what they want.

1203
01:05:32,940 --> 01:05:38,200
So with that being said, we're signing off in three, two, one.

1204
01:05:38,200 --> 01:05:39,200
See you guys.

1205

Peace.
