Sometimes it only takes an hour down the road to feel like you’ve stepped into a different world.

In this episode, I talk about a recent trip back to where I grew up—spending time fishing, reconnecting with old friends, and being reminded of what “home” really means. Not just a place you live, but a place that shaped you.

That trip sparked a deeper thought—about hounds, and how even the best dogs operate differently when they’re back on familiar ground.

There’s a lesson in that for all of us.

Were Coon Hounds Better Then or Now?

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Fri, 10 Apr 2026 16:45:28 +0000

The prior week’s show featuring current PKC World Championship winner Willy’s Little Ann generated quite a stir across the podcast sphere as the guests, including host Steve Fielder, allowed that Little Ann may be the best coon dog of all time.

Coon hunting entrepreneur Bruce Conkey posted his opinion of the matter on the Coon Hunting Conversations group page in social media drawing more than sixty comments in a couple of days.

In this episode Steve reviews Bruce’s contribution as well as several responses. He then brings guest Dillon Orr to the mic to discuss the comment he posted. Florida coon hunter Mack Britt weighs in with thoughts the different types of coon dogs and the age old saw, which was better, then or now? What determines a hunter’s preference in the type of dog he or she hunts becomes the anchor for a great conversation with a 30-minute bonus because the discussion is so darned good. It’s truly dog talk at its finest.

Lessons Without the Leash

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Wed, 8 Apr 2026 22:10:08 +0000

There’s a different kind of bond between a handler and a police K9—one built on long hours, shared risk, and a level of trust you don’t fully understand until you’ve lived it.

In this episode, we’re not talking about deployments or war stories. We’re talking about the lessons that stick with you long after the dog retires.

How our dogs can read us before you even make a move.
How they pick up on things you don’t realize you’re showing.
And how learning from that kind of awareness can make you better—not just as a handler, but as a hunter, trainer, and person.

Because if you pay attention, those dogs will teach you more than you ever taught them.

Gone To The Dogs - The Amazing Little Ann

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Tue, 7 Apr 2026 16:18:00 +0000

This episode features the owners of the current PKC World Coonhound Champion Willy’s Little Ann. Fresh off her latest in an amazing string of major wins including the UKC World Championship and the Tournament of Champions, Little Ann is writing a chapter in the coonhound record book that may never be duplicated.

In this episode John Strickland, Ashley Oxendine and Randy Smith, three of the four partners that own the reining world champion in two major registries, join Steve to tell Ann’s story to our listeners.

Partnerships in the dog world are rarely successful and often are more of a business deal than a friendship. Not so with these guys. Each tells their personal versions of Ann’s story and illustrates that partners can be successful and have a close personal relationship at the same time. These guys care about their hound and they care each about the other and it shows.

This is a don’t miss listen and easily makes the list of best efforts by the Gone To The Dogs Podcasts to date. See if you don’t agree.

Spring Woods, Dogs, Turkeys and Trout

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Mon, 6 Apr 2026 18:05:33 +0000

Spring is finally showing up and it’s a great time to be in the woods. In this episode we talk about working hounds during the offseason, getting dogs back in shape, and keeping young dogs learning even after hunting season ends.

We also discuss ** Turkey season right around the corner and what to look for while scouting the woods this time of year.

Plus, a little fishing talk — the river has been kicking my butt lately, but the trout streams have been producing some nice Rainbow Trout and Brown Trout.

Coon Hunting In The 70s

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Fri, 27 Mar 2026 15:12:45 +0000

In this episode Steve covers topics that resonate with hunters that have been involved with the sport for several years as well as those that may be new comers to the sport.

After raising the question in last week’s episode, “Who is the best coonhound pup trainer in the world,” Steve reviews several responses posted by members of his online Coon Hunting Conversations group. The segment segues into a discussion of the members of Steve’s local coon club in the 1970’s and recalls the names and the brief bios of 43 of those members! It’s a trip down memory lane for the host and a interesting introduction to a family of coon hunters that some listeners may recall.

The Tailgate Test: What Your Hounds Really Did This Season

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Wed, 18 Mar 2026 13:38:58 +0000

The season may be over, but the work of becoming a better Houndsman is just beginning. In this episode, we take a hard, honest look at post-season evaluation—what your hounds actually showed you this year versus what you hoped they were doing. Every race, every loss, every cold trail tells a story. The hunters who improve year after year are the ones willing to sit on the tailgate after the season and ask the tough questions.

We break down how to evaluate your pack honestly, what traits you should be looking for, and how those observations should guide your off-season training plans. Spring isn’t just the end of hunting—it’s the beginning of building better hounds.

Of Hounds and Horses

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Mon, 16 Mar 2026 19:09:55 +0000

This week Steve dons his racing silks and takes the listener to 800-horse two-year old thoroughbred sale in Ocala, Florida for a day of education and inspiration. Rarely does he do anything that doesn’t bring him full circle to his world of working dogs.

The world of coon hunting, especially concerning the animals that are central to the sport, has many parallels to the horse-racing game. We extoll the value of breeding and proof of ancestry through pedigrees for dogs and horses, we value reproduction success and keep records of performance of the offspring by listing wins, earnings and titles on registration documents. But, rounding the clubhouse turn and heading home, the ponies stretch out the lead in terms of providing the information and vehicle to move the top-performers into the winner’s circle.

With thoroughbred racing, breeders, trainers and owners are privy to a plethora of information in print and online that coonhound enthusiasts can only dream about.. Steve’s visit to a sale of national prominence held in an unrivaled venue allows him to fantasize about the possibilities of the same type of program for coonhounds and ends with the question, “Who is the best coonhound trainer in the world?”

Gone To The Dogs - The Coon Hunter’s Handbook

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Mon, 9 Mar 2026 17:03:31 +0000

In this episode Steve addresses the changes in the way coon hunters acquire information by reviewing two books written in 1948 and 1952 respectively.

The American Trail Hound by Fred Streaver and The Coon Hunter’s Handbook by Leon F. Whitney, DVM and Acil B. Underwood were two important works designed to make the training of coonhounds a successful experience 75 years or so ago.

Steve finds the more things change the more they stay the same as the methods of three-quarters of a century ago appear similar to the methods coon hunters use in training dogs today.

The episode also includes a tribute to a special friend who recently passed to the vast timbers and river bottoms of his eternal home, Hoosier houndsman and tree dog enthusiast George Danielson.

GTTD Revisited - Larry Meeks

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Mon, 2 Mar 2026 15:48:39 +0000

It’s old home week on the Gone to the Dogs podcast as Steve connects with his longtime friend and former boss, Larry Meeks. Meeks was the owner and served as CEO for Professional Kennel Club for thirteen years following his purchase of the popular coonhound registry in the fall of 1997. Fielder joined the organization in June of 1998 and served as its Senior Vice President through November of 2004.

Conversation flows freely as Fielder urges Meeks to recall his meager upbringing in and around the Terre Haute, Indiana area. It’s a Horatio Alger story of a kid raised by a single parent, his dad, that was largely left to his own devices until he discovered his affinity to all things involving trucks. Meeks and his son Jeremy own and operate Gibco Motor Express, one of the nation’s top commodity haulers that haul, in Meeks’ words, everything from coal to bread.

Meeks coon hunting background and an early affiliation with PKC led him to purchase the registry and catapult it into a thriving business in his 13-year tenure. He and Fielder relive the days and nights at the Tennis Center at Ken Lake State Park in West Kentucky where the Super Stakes and World Hunt were held back-to-back in a ten-day coon hunting marathon.

Stories, some that include an inside look at the workings of a major coon hunting organization, abound in this entertaining episode. Enjoy.

Cold Weather Care

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Fri, 27 Feb 2026 18:47:20 +0000

When the temperature drops, real houndsman don’t stop. We just have to adjust.

In this episode we’re breaking down why winter care matters more than most handlers realize. From how frozen ground steals body heat to why elevation and dry bedding can make or break your kennel setup, we’re covering the fundamentals that keep your pack healthy, strong, and ready to hunt.

Cold doesn’t harm dogs, poor preparation does.

Deep In The Hunt of Texas - Tracking Dogs 101 w/ Ricky Loftis

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Thu, 12 Feb 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Most hunters underestimate how critical shot placement and tissue damage are—and how they can make the difference between finding your deer or losing it forever. Ricky Loftis (litehounds on Instagram) a renowned deer tracking dog handler with over a decade of experience, pulls back the curtain on the gritty realities of tracking wounded game, revealing surprising insights you'll want to hear before your next hunt.

In this episode, Ricky shares how personal hunting failures sparked his passion for tracking, including his eye-opening stories from the legendary King Ranch and firsthand lessons from gut-shot deer that challenged even his expertise. You'll discover the most reliable shot scenarios for recovery—like how shot location, broadhead choice, and angle dramatically impact your chances—and practical tips on managing blood trails, tracking in tough terrain, and recognizing signs that tell you everything about your deer’s condition.

We break down specific tactics for hunting scenarios, including how weather, property size, and coyote interference influence tracking success. Ricky sheds light on common mistakes hunters make with shot angles, broadhead selection, and early race conditions, giving you actionable advice to improve your kill-to-recovery ratio. Whether you're an archery enthusiast, rifle hunter, or want to understand how an experienced tracker handles the toughest cases, this episode will elevate your knowledge and confidence.

Coonhounds and Cabin Fever

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Tue, 10 Feb 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Thirty-five degrees in Miami, Florida? Headlines read “Freezing in Florida: Artic chill reaches Sunshine State, breaking records and causing power disruptions.”

Steve takes the opportunity to check on friends that are coping with the chilling effects of a Polar Vortex that is causing hunters across the country to stay by the fire. In many cases hunters are bringing in the hounds in order to cope with what has become one of the harshest winters in memory, even for octogenarian hunters like Pennsylvania’s Fred Moran, the Redbone Man who will be 89 when this podcast airs.

Steve checks in on Fred and finds him in the throes of a three-week layoff from coon hunting, something he normally does nightly. Fred sounds a little rough but the dog talk begins to flow as the friends talk about the weather, old dogs, old trucks, old friends and stories, old and new, all framed in the hope that better days are coming.

This is an episode for those experiencing the effects of cabin fever on steroids the last few days. We’re hoping the stories, the laughs and the optimism will help to cure the fever in your neck of the woods.

Wiley Coyote

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Mon, 9 Feb 2026 15:48:32 +0000

We’ve all had an off game race or two, but coyotes pose a challenge that requires time and effort to overcome. First we must understand why they are so captivating to our hounds. This episode compares the similarities of both races and what draws the hounds into a full blown dog race that tests the patience of a saint.

Gone To The Dogs: HOUND DOGGIN’ IN WEST VIRGINIA WITH GARY KNAPP

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Wed, 4 Feb 2026 18:30:42 +0000

Gary Knapp says he’s married to the prettiest girl in Big Scary, West Virginia. Steve calls him the Will Rogers of the Appalachians. Bear hunters remember him as an effective president and spokes person for the West Virginia Bear Hunter’s Association. Part woodsman, mountaineer and houndsman, Knapp never fails to entertain with his stories and likewise, never fails to inspire with his dedication to keeping the sport of hound hunting alive for future generations.

Knapp believes upcoming changes to West Virginia laws concerning hunting over bait will be detrimental to the bear population. Steve tends to take the middle ground on the issue but the conversation is no less important to anyone that is concerned with the continuance of black bear hunting in the Mountain State as it reveals all sides of the issue.

Enjoy talk from two mountain men, one in memory, the other in action, as Gone To The Dogs goes hound doggin’ with West Virginian Gary Knapp.

Gone To The Dogs - SHUCKIN’ THE CORN WITH FRED BRIGHT

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 17:25:39 +0000

When old friends get together, the stories can’t help but be told. In the case of the pair of coon hunting friends on this podcast, the stories go back to the days when Steve and guest Fred Bright began hunting, Steve in the mountains of West Virginia and Fred in the mountains of east Tennessee. It’s been a year since Bright made his first guest appearance and he brought a whole new set of experiences to the podcast studio. The boys cover coonhounds and beagles with equal shares of recollections of hounds and hunts long since gone. Bright is a great story teller with amazing recall and his tales never disappoint. From Black and Tan Coonhounds that lost their voices to beagles that refused to compete, here’s an hour of hound talk in the best Gone To The Dogs tradition. Enjoy!

Gone To The Dogs - Mining for Gold

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Mon, 19 Jan 2026 16:45:19 +0000

In this episode Steve charts the course for future episodes by revealing the basic tenets that has built his long and winding journey as a houndsman upon. This is the basis for his knowledge of hounds and hunting and reveal how his experiences will be used as the basis for future podcast programming going forward. A houndsman by heritage and choice, Steve began his journey with tree dogs, incredibly, seventy-two years ago when he was a boy of eight. His journey has taken him through roles as pleasure hunter, hobby breeder, student of means through which to breed better dogs, applying that knowledge to his own breeding efforts, competition hunter, registry official and rule authority, book author and magazine columnist, web producer and ultimately host of the Gone To The Dogs Podcast, all centered firmly upon tree dogs. The episode contains several nuggets designed to help the listener on the journey, no matter at which station along the track he or she finds themselves.

Gone To The Dogs - A New Year’s Rant

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Mon, 12 Jan 2026 15:55:44 +0000

Fresh off his annual New Year’s trip to South Carolina to attend the Grand American Coon Hunt, Steve takes the opportunity to unload some baggage he brought back from the competition events.

With a background in registry administration, Steve fully understands the challenges the registries face in maintaining enthusiasm for their events, often on a playing field that can appear to be anything but level at times. Games must have participants and Steve fears today’s climate may be discouraging more players than it encourages.

In this episode Steve confesses that the system designed by the game’s founders may not be working in today’s climate. The old hunter challenges the powers that be to come up with solutions that put honor back in the game, that rewards the best hound rather than the best argument from the most talented lawyer on the cast.

Listeners, depending on which camp they find themselves, purist or pugilist, will at least enjoy hearing the old man bump his blood pressure up a degree or two. In this one, Steve has gone looking for ways to bring out our best when the worst seems so easy to do.

Gone To The Dogs: What Difference Does It Make?

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Tue, 30 Dec 2025 18:01:08 +0000

In this episode Steve and Nubbin invite a brand, spanking new coon hunter to the microphone in an enjoyable conversation with ten-year old Brantley Whittle. Brantley became interested in coon hunting after reading Wilson Rawls’ classic Where The Red Fern Grows as have so many children through the ages since Rawls penned the story of Old Dan and Little Ann in 1961. The parallels in age between the book’s Billy Coleman and Brantley Whittle, Coleman is ten when the story begins and Whittle is ten now, open the door for an interesting discussion on the mindset of boys that age as they enter the sport for the first time. In our discussion we learn that Whittle sought, through the help of our Nubbin Moore, a female Redbone pup with which to start his journey because, as was Little Ann, the females were thought to be smarter. This episode will refresh the memories of youth for older hunters and will spark a desire to join the fun for novice hunters Brantley’s age and beyond.

In this episode Steve and Nubbin talk about Christmas, past and present.It’s a fun walk down memory lane for a couple of guys that have witnessed more than 160 Christmases in their combined earthy journey.

The pair spins several tales of Christmases past in Alabama and West Virginia that will amuse and entertain. Nubbin’s wife Becky is still quite the entertainer with plans for more than thirty adults and their kids to invade the Sterrett, Ala., homestead at her gathering this year.

The second part of the episode features guest Danny Jones of Rockwell, North Carolina. Danny is promoting a new coon hunt in an old familiar location. The Carolina Classic on January 23 – 24, will be held in Salisbury, North Carolina at the familiar Rowan County Fairgrounds where Southeastern Treeing Walker Days was held for many years. Danny heads the Trapp Hill Coon Hunters Association that will host the event. All details of the homecoming event are discussed.

From each of us at the Gone To The Dogs Podcast, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Gone To The Dogs - Dunlap Times Three

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Mon, 1 Dec 2025 16:38:01 +0000

This week Steve entertains a trio of coon hunters from Ohio that have become some of the most recognizable and respected hunters in game as breeders, trainers and successful competitors. The Dunlap brothers, Chuck and Don, were born in the adjoining county of Fayette in West Virginia, next door to Raleigh County where Steve was born. Their family migrated to central Ohio where the Dunlaps established themselves as young me to be serious coon hunters. Chuck’s son Coleton, affectionately known as Coonman, has followed in his dad’s and his uncle’s footsteps, earning a respected name for himself as well. Chuck formed his reputation as a successful handler in the early days of his career, the mid 1980s, by handling a famous English stud dog named GRNITECH Baron’s Blue Reb, known far and wide as Lumis. Lumis, a crossbred Treeing Walker hound by today’s standards, was registered as English. He was owned by Carl Carroll of Crestline, Ohio and Roger W. Daron of Plymouth, Ohio, and handled by Chuck Dunlap. The conversation moves from Lumis to the Buck Creek Treeing Walker hounds for which the Dunlaps are well-known today. Hounds like two-time AKC World Champion Buck Creek Mr. Smith, Buck Creek Crowson and Buck Creek Homer, as well as others, fill the episode. This is a story of one family’s love for coon hunting and for each other. It is well worth your time.

Gone To The Dogs - The Good Old AKC Days

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Mon, 24 Nov 2025 15:58:25 +0000

In this episode Steve is joined by longtime friend David McKee. The conversation begins with a recap of McKee’s recent heart surgery from which he is recovering nicely.

The friends talk about the upcoming Grand American Coon Hunt which McKee manages as President of the Grand American Coon Hunter’s Association. Other hats worn by McKee include President of the South Carolina Coon Hunters Association and AKC Field Representative. McKee discussed the addition of online entries for the prestigious Grand American event that dates back to 1965.

McKee and Steve served the American Kennel Club together when Fielder was there. The pals enjoy reminiscing about the achievements their team consisting of Jerry Moll, Jimmy Phillips, Lyndell Price, Caroline Murphy and McKee accomplished, including many innovations that are in practice with other registries today.

The episode is with AKC facts, some on the road shenanigans and a lot of mutual respect for the hours spent. It's a prime example of dog talk at its finest.

Gone To The Dogs - Lone Pine Kennels 2025

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Tue, 11 Nov 2025 03:31:00 +0000

In this episode Steve is live at Lone Pine Treeing Walker Kennels in Kittanning, Pennsylvania with owner Randy Smith. The episode takes place midway through a seven-day and night hound-hunting adventure that has become an annual affair for Fielder and Smith.

The friends discuss the previous three nights of coon hunting and the accompanying afternoons running Smith’s beagles on Pennsylvania cottontails. True to Smith’s preferences in coonhounds, each of Smith’s rabbit runners is a female.

The episode runs the gamut of subjects from play by plays of the week’s hunts, current hounds in the Lone Pine stable, recent and planned breedings and plans for the future in competition.

Smith is always a good listen as he cordially reveals the inner comings and goings of the nation’s most successful breeding kennel in the coonhound sport. This is hound talk at its finest. Enjoy,

Gone To The Dogs: Remembering John Wick

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Tue, 4 Nov 2025 10:00:00 +0000

In this episode Mark Zepp joins Steve in remembering hunter, breeder, trainer, author, innovator and entrepreneur John Wick of Montgomery City, Missouri.

“He was Elvis,” Zepp opines in this up-close look at perhaps the most influential man to ever snap a leash on a hound. Through his endless ads and columns in coon hunting magazines, Wick single handedly tackled the task of educating the coonhound masses on the nuances of the sport that one major dog food company called the largest sporting dog activity in America.

Zepp worked, traveled and hunted alongside John Wick for ten years at Wick Outdoor Works which at the time was the leading supply company for coon hunters nationwide. Nobody in the coon hunting game knew Wick better nor was more closely associated with the most recognizable name in the coonhound sport than Zepp.

This episode explores the many aspects of this amazing man’s life from the viewpoint of one that knew him best. Listeners will appreciate this inside look at a very special man indeed.

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Mon, 27 Oct 2025 16:11:40 +0000

Gone To The Dog - Switching Breeds

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Mon, 20 Oct 2025 16:16:11 +0000

In this episode Steve talks with North Carolina’s Mark Miller.Mark is a veteran raccoon hunter that has long been devoted to the Treeing Walker breed. Mark’s Walker hound Dreamer was voted into the Southeastern Treeing Walker Association’s Hall of Fame as a coonhound.

Through Miller’s association with North Carolina State Trooper Brad Hyatt who runs Plott dogs on bears, he became interested in Plotts, North Carolina’s official state dog.

How does a houndsman devoted to a given breed, especially on that has been particularly successful with that breed, make the decision to try another breed, moving from the most popular among United Kennel Club’s seven coonhound breeds to a breed that has the fewest dogs in the registry? This episode tells the story in detail including a discussion on the differences in the two breeds and why Miller was persuaded to switch. Enjoy dog talk at its finest in this interesting conversation.

Part 1 - Into the Wild: The Chase Begins

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Wed, 15 Oct 2025 15:58:58 +0000

I finally drew an elk tag but not in Montana like I had been putting in for, it was in Wyoming. First timers luck one would say, as this hunt unfolds there is a lot of first timers luck. If you’re into steep climbs, sudden encounters, and the raw, unfiltered adrenaline of the chase. Not just a hunt —but a high-stakes pursuit where every moment counts. Don’t miss out on this episode — it's a front-row seat to the intensity, challenge, and thrill of chasing elk deep in Wyoming’s backcountry.

The Emotional Side of Coon Hunting

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Mon, 13 Oct 2025 16:39:43 +0000

In this episode Steve takes an inside look at the hound sports by exploring the things that radiate from within the soul of the hunter, from the emotional side. Houndsmen may display a plethora of emotions, the usual suspects being jealousy, envy, greed along with often being overly competitive.

But there’s a soft underbelly to the sport that macho men may be reluctant to admit, much less talk about. Steve delves into feelings of pride, self-centeredness, disappointment, exhilaration, and even disgust that often comprise the houndsmen’s personality, making it difficult to form and maintain meaningful relationships with other members of the sport.

Feelings of love and adoration for hounds as well as grief when a good hound is lost come under Steve’s emotional microscope in this introspective episode.

GTTD - Goodbye Old Friend

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Thu, 9 Oct 2025 01:23:02 +0000

In this episode Steve laments the loss of an old friend, a monthly visitor to which he contributed a fairly large portion of his working career, a friend whose blank pages Steve turned, each month, into essays, exposes and bites of entertainment for thousands of hound-hungry subscribers over a nearly fifty-year history. UKC announced recently that it will no longer publish their house organ Coonhound Bloodlines after the first of the year.

The episode also contains a White River Refuge 2025 preview, a letter from old friend Bubba Back Home, a report on Ghost the wonder dog and a congratulatory message to the brand new UKC World Champions. The episode concludes with a tutorial on coon skinning for those wishing to take a Foxfire-type approach to coon hunting the way Deddy did it.

Miles Over Moments: Why Hound Training is a Journey

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Fri, 3 Oct 2025 17:53:43 +0000

Too often we put too much focus on the end result of catching game. But the process itself is just as valuable, sometimes even more so. If the process is done correctly the end result is just the icing on the cake. If done properly it makes the end result much more gratifying. The journey is built on the bond forged during this time. How strong is yours?

GTTD - Winging It

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Mon, 29 Sep 2025 19:18:58 +0000

In this episode Steve flies solo to recap a recent three-day trip to Indiana to pick up a new puppy. While in Richmond, scene of his recent trip to Autumn Oaks, our host takes a trip out to the Wayne County Coon Hunter’s Association club house, a massive structure for its type, to visit with the club that has hosted thirty-three of the Events Where History Is Made since Steve brought the UKC event to Richmond in 1992.

Pup training advice constitutes the remainder of the episode laced with vignettes from prior UKC World Championships, an event that concluded its 47th year with the competition of this year’s finals just two days prior to the airing of this podcast. Hound people struggling with training a young hound will appreciate Steve’s experiences gained in more than 70 years with hounds.

Gone To The Dogs He Was A Good Man

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Mon, 22 Sep 2025 15:54:08 +0000

In this episode, admittedly one of the hardest to produce in his 320-plus podcast career, Steve begins with a musical tribute to recently assassinated Christion activist Charlie Kirk. The song written and performed by Oklahoma singer/songwriter Tennessee Jet (aka T.J. McFarland), was penned shortly after Kirk was shot while debating students on a Utah college campus. The impact of the Kirk slaying sent shockwaves across the nation and impacted our host and his guests, Nubbin Moore and Randy Fielder as well as millions across the Nation. After the tribute, the episode moves on to the podcast’s benchmark “Dog talk at its finest” as the boys discuss favorite hounds of the past, Nubbin’s recent family fishing and hunting trip to south Alabama and a look-back at the recent Autumn Oaks event in Indiana. With scarcely two months to go until their annual trip to the White River National Wildlife Refuge, the conversation naturally drifts out to the big Delta bottoms of Arkansas. This one is dedicated to the memory of patriot Charlie Kirk. May he rest in peace.

Gone To The Dogs with Nathan Johnson

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Mon, 15 Sep 2025 12:27:04 +0000

Steve is joined by his brother Randy as they entertain fellow West Virginian Nathan Johnson as this week’s guest.

Johnson, from the town of Rock View in Wyoming County, has never hunted in any other place than southern West Virginia where he, as were the Fielder brothers, was born and raised. The conversation centers upon what it’s like to hunt in the rugged environs of coal-mining country and why, in fact, would anyone want to hunt in an area that has been named one of the worst states in the Union for coon hunting?

The boys agree that it takes a certain hunting style for a coonhound to be successful in the rugged terrain and provide the listener a detailed description of hunting there. As the month of October approaches, the discussion moves to raccoon season, the abundance or lack thereof of raccoons in the area, preferred hunting methods, and their individual positions on taking game in areas where the species is not always in good supply.

This is West Virginia dog talk at its finest with one of the finest hunters to have occupied our guest’s chair for an interview. Sit back and enjoy this trio of mountain boys having a good time talking dogs. You’ll especially enjoy Johnson’s one-liners as the conversation stays on the lighter side.

Pack Talk: Packing Hounds vs. Running a Pack

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Thu, 11 Sep 2025 13:53:18 +0000

In this episode, we break down one of the most debated topics in the hound hunting world: packing hounds vs. hunting a pack. Do we understand the distinction between these two approaches and how it can drastically change the way you train, hunt, and manage your dogs in the field. We can use both methods and be successful. Join us on What’s up Wednesday for the best hound podcast there is to offer.

GTTD: Autumn Oaks Interviews – Part One

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Mon, 1 Sep 2025 19:03:27 +0000

In this episode we talk to fellow podcaster, master dog trainer Heath Hyatt. Heath wears many hats in the dog world and was one of the featured judges in one of many coonhound shows that are an important part of the Autumn Oaks calendar of events. Autumn Oaks, founded in 1960 is billed as The Event Where History is made do to its role as the major United Kennel Club-sponsored coonhound event of the year. Also joining Steve in this episode are three members of the Muncy family known for the YouTube videos they have produced in recent years, first as Muncy Outdoors and more recently, Boneyard Outdoors, named for the area in West Virginia from which the family trio originates. Father Josh and sons Bryson, 19 and Peyton, 16 enjoy coon hunting together and after a lengthy hiatus, are back online with their new series. These interviews were conducted on Friday at Autumn Oaks and will be followed by more of the same from Saturday’s events. Listeners unable to attend the grand event this year will enjoy the conversations live from the Gone To The Dogs Podcast booth.

The Struggle

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Thu, 28 Aug 2025 17:47:28 +0000

On today's podcast we get real about what it takes to train a hound. In this episode, we dig into the hard truths and everyday challenges of working with young dogs: stubborn starts, long nights, lost trails, and the patience it takes to turn potential into performance. We all have times of struggle whether it’s the dog, equipment, training time, expenses and the list goes one.

Gone To The Dogs - Shot While Hunting

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Mon, 25 Aug 2025 17:51:27 +0000

In this episode Steve and Fred Moran cover a number of topics, the chief of which is Fred’s account of being shot while on a hunting trip in Wyoming. Steve supports Fred’s story with an account of a well-known raccoon hunter that experienced the same fate. Several stories from experiences in the not-so-tame West ensue, including Fred’s tale of a horse and rider wreck of major proportions. The nearly two-hour conversation covers writing coonhound stud ads, the age limit for a prospective coonhound to be purchased, the best coonhound in Fred’s long experience of hunting with hounds, his preference for major hunts to win and his experiences hunting squirrels with dogs. Listeners will want to make a trip to the fridge for a long cold one before settling down to an episode of “dog talk at it’s finest, nearly two hours in length.

Gone To The Dogs: 300 years

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Mon, 11 Aug 2025 15:09:19 +0000

Each of the four players in this episode have hunted coons for sixty years or more. Their combined age of 297 autumns is nearly 300 years and each year now. They gather to follow hounds in the big woods of the Arkansas delta.

At the heart of their annual hunt is the endless discussion at mealtimes and around the camp when hounds are fed and watered and beverages poured, of the memories of bygone hounds or hunters gone on to their rewards that continue into the wee, small hours, only to be rejoined over steaming cups of coffee and heaping plates at the breaking of each new day.

These are the coon hunting conversations that form the foundation of the experience that continues to motivate these men to come year after year to the White River Refuge. Join Nubbin Moore, Morris Hardy, Randy Smith and Steve as they talk dogs and all things coon hunting in this, the last Gone To The Dogs podcast of the 2021 year. Happy New Year!

Tree Climbers

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Fri, 8 Aug 2025 09:00:00 +0000

The excitement on the last day was a great send away. But it was intense until we were able to get the dog back on the ground. Climbing trees is not something we deal with on a regular basis, but it can happen to anyone. How do you deal with those situations? This episode talks about several over the last three decades of hunting.

Gone To The Dogs with Tom Hopkins

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Wed, 6 Aug 2025 18:48:30 +0000

In this episode Steve visits with Tom Hopkins of Marshall, Texas.Tom owned, trained and handled what was perhaps the most famous Treeing Walker Coonhound in the history of coon hunting, the immortal House’s Lipper.

Lipper distinguished himself in competition and in the breeding pen by winning major championships and by producing more that 5000 pups, not including those that were born through frozen semen breeding. Lipper’s record in that regard is most likely never to be broken.

Lipper was making news before he was a year old and won the prestigious PCA National Championship, the prize package of which included a pickup truck, dog box and other related awards at less than two years of age. He is the youngest Dual Grand Champion (Nite Hunt and Bench Show) on record.

Steve, in this episode, persuades Tom to share the Lipper story from the first coon he treed at about seven months old to discussions about several notable Lipper offspring including House’s Lawyer, Adios Lightning, House’s Clint and House’s Cash. If you are coonhound history buff this is the episode for you. “Dog talk at its finest, Walker-style.”

GONE TO THE DOGS WITH MATT WACHTER

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Wed, 30 Jul 2025 16:23:33 +0000

Within the world of purebred coonhounds there exists seven recognized breeds, each with a national association that affiliates with the major coonhound registry, United Kennel Club. These associations exist not only to steer the future of the individual breeds within the registry, but also as a fraternity, or sorority as the case may be, of individuals devoted to the breed. None is more tightknit than the American Black and Tan Coonhound Association,

Our guest in this episode, Matt Wachter of Gardendale, Ala., is a young man that chose the Black and Tan Breed early on in his coon hunting career and has benefited greatly from the mentors he has gained through his choice of breeds. One such mentor and personal friend is the late Doug Moore of Mt. Olive, Alabama.Moore recently passed at the age of 82.The dog talk at its finest in this episode is full of stories of hunting with Moore and other stalwarts of the Black and Tan breed of Wachter’s experience.

Although fanciers of Black and Tans will no doubt appreciate this episode most, the stories, accounts and benefits of a coon hunter’s life within the confines of a given breed should serve to influence others to choose a similar path.

The Ripple Effect: Timing Double in Dog Training

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Thu, 24 Jul 2025 09:00:00 +0000

Traveling to hunt in different parts of the country will expose your hounds to different terrain, different styles and different challenges. While in Wisconsin hunting with Ross Ellwagner, Heath saw all those in this trip. On the way to a Rodeo Heath and Ross had a conversation about training and how the timing of corrections can classic condition more issues that sometimes we don’t think about. In this episode they talk about how that happens and how sometimes you are better off saving that correction for another day.

Gone to the Dogs with Rubert Morgan

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Mon, 21 Jul 2025 13:34:58 +0000

In this episode we journey to the village of Pope, in the southern tip of Panola County, Mississippi to visit with black coon hunter Rubert Morgan. At age 74, Morgan has worn many hats; farmer, auto worker, collegiate bull rider, community official and coonhound breed association director to name a few.

Mr. Morgan provides an entertaining look at the life of a black kid growing up under segregation but also enjoying his lifelong dream of being in the outdoors hunting with hounds.

Steve and Rubert met at the UKC Winter Classic in Batesville, Mississippi several years ago. Mutual friend, Kimberly Clark of Virginia, also black and also a coon hunter, urged Steve to bring Morgan onto the podcast and the result is an hour and several minutes more of dog talk at its finest.

A confessed Bluetick aficionado today, Rubert has enjoyed all breeds through the years beginning with a spotted pup that, as a kid, he crawled under the family home to claim. The story of Spot and others good hounds through the years, pack the episode and there’s even some looks at life as a black man growing up in a world where in many cases, he was the “only one that looked like me” in the crowd. You’ll enjoy this one, guaranteed.

Gone To The Dogs with Leon Childers

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Mon, 14 Jul 2025 16:26:26 +0000

Similarities in age and geographical backgrounds make for easy conversation between Steve and his entertaining guest Leon Childers in this episode. Childers, born in eastern Kentucky, followed the path of many mountain-born boys whose families sought better jobs and better times in northern climes. For Childers, the move from the same area in which Steve’s grandparents were raised, it was a move to western Ohio, particularly Fairborn, near Dayton. Steve and Leon bring the dog talk at its finest to the Gone To The Dogs microphones in an hour-plus of coon dog conversation the likes of which one won’t experience from those of lesser ages. Steve is 78 and Leon is 82. Childers has owned some of the better Walker competition dogs of the past sixty years or more and has an AKC World Championship to his credit. The talk covers many of Childers’ best hounds and stories about his handlers and his favorite hunts over the years. The conversation is organic. The entertainment factor is off the charts. Enjoy.

This episode continues on from the last on the dogs that never got the credit they deserved. Sam made catching bears look easy, his determination, speed, fearlessness, and stick ultimately cost him his life. For 6 years i got to follow him on countless adventures and will be forever grateful.

Every hound hunter has dogs that go unnoticed. Dogs that are in the shadows because of a more talked about dog. History even shows some of the legendary houndsman talked and wrote about certain dogs but used others to complete their pack. Here's to the dogs that never got the credit they deserved.

Gone To The Dogs with Cheyenne Cummings

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 15:08:00 +0000

Cheyenne Cummings of Seneca, Missouri is known throughout the coon hunting world as one of the really good guys in the sport. And like their owner, Cummings’ hounds wear the “really good” label, really good as well. One of them holds the PKC World Champion title and the other is a UKC Hall of Fame (5 time) Grand Nite Champion and Autumn Oaks National Grand Nite Champion, two the most respected titles in the game. And if that were not enough, his Redneck Backwoods Shack dog, a twelve-year-old Treeing Walker, is proving to be one of the most prolific stud dogs in the game. This episode covers some interesting topics including Cumming’s background, the backgrounds and resumes of his big-winning hounds and his thoughts about the condition of the sport, now and for the future. As Steve reviews the achievements of Shack and Stogie, as well as other big-winning hounds the likes of ProSport truck winner Tin Cup and big winning Sliding Clyde, both sired by Shack, the listener will understand why Cummings is an important voice in the fast moving coonhound game of today.

GONE TO THE DOGS with DARREN ALLGOOD

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Mon, 23 Jun 2025 16:22:46 +0000

There’s plenty of “dog talk at its finest” in this episode with Hoosier tree dog enthusiast Darren Allgood. With three squirrel dog world championships under his belt and an affinity for Plotts and Mountain Curs, Steve takes the opportunity to catch up with his guest as he returns home from Plott Days. The result is some great conversation, tailor-made for brindle dog aficionados. The boys discuss Allgood’s background and beginning in an area that has long been famous for producing big-winning coonhounds and curs, many of them from the English Coonhound breed. Several coon hunting icons, of the two and four-legged variety, are discussed at length. This one is for good ole boys that love good hounds and love, even more, to sit and talk about them. For that reason, this one qualifies, without reservation, for the “dog talk at it’s finest” designation. See if you agree!

Fair Chase in the Age of Technology: A Deep Dive with Matt Bortz

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Mon, 19 May 2025 14:24:30 +0000

In this episode, Matt Bortz joins the show for an in-depth discussion about the evolving landscape of hunting ethics in the face of modern technology. As a member of Idaho’s HAT Committee (Hunting and Advanced Technology), Matt shares key insights into a recent initiative by the Idaho Fish and Game Commission to evaluate the impact of technology on fair chase principles. The conversation explores: Public sentiment on hunting technologies like rangefinders, game cameras, GPS collars, smart optics, thermal imaging, drones, and AI. Survey findings from over 15,000 Idaho hunters that reveal a near-even split on contentious tools like cell trail cameras and smart scopes, while showing strong opposition to night vision, thermals, and AI for animal identification. Ethical and enforcement challenges, including how perceptions vary across regions and user experience levels. The human element of the hunt, including a gripping personal story of a challenging solo bear hunt that ends with an adrenaline-pumping close encounter. Youth outreach and conservation efforts, highlighting the importance of educating the next generation on ethical hunting and the role of community-led programs. The episode ultimately underscores the importance of public input in wildlife regulation, the need for balance between tradition and innovation, and a call to action for hunters to voice their views when new regulations are proposed.

Gone to the Dogs: Lifetime of Memories

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Mon, 12 May 2025 15:50:20 +0000

In this episode Steve sits down with his best buddies Nubbin Moore to talk about, among several life-changing subjects, Nubbin’s recent election to honored lifetime membership status with the American Black and Tan Coonhound Association. The ABTCHA memberships votes one member into the exclusive group each year with the award presented the following year at Black and Tan Days. Nubbin questions his worthiness while Steve sets the record straight. Nubbin enjoys fishing as well as coon hunting and the two discuss Moore’s recent trips and successes. The conversation moves to the question, when does a coon hunter recognize it’s time to retire? Neither, by their own admission, has reached that point in the game but do discuss the possibility. Black and Tan fanciers will enjoy Nubbin’s reflections on two of his most famous Black and Tans, Hank and Zack. Each were successful on the biggest stages in coon hunting during their primes including Hank’s win overall at the 25th anniversary Autumn Oaks. When does a hunter realize he’s too old to start another pup is a question the pair wrestle with in this laid back, easy-listening podcast. The talk is as smooth as Tennessee whiskey. Have a virtual “sip” and enjoy.

Gone To The Dogs with Texan Ray Dismukes

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Mon, 21 Apr 2025 15:56:45 +0000

This episode represents a Texas-style homecoming for host Steve Fielder as he reunites with longtime friend Ray Dismukes of McDade, Texas. Dismukes, fresh off a major win at the UKC Texas State Championship, joins Steve to talk all things coon hunting, Texas style. Fielder and Dismukes are contemporaries, having been born less than a month apart in 1946. They met at the UKC American Heritage Hunt in 1992 and took a hunt together at that hunt that’s part of the conversation. Dismukes has remained active in the sport despite being 78 years old, an age when most coon hunters have hung up the leashes for good. Dismukes shares his ideas on pup training, describes his young Texas State Champion English dog he calls Sandhills Jack of Diamonds, and gives an account of the hunt, his first Texas State win despite hunt the event for many years. Ray is one of the most-respected coon hunters among the legions of them over the years in the Lone Star State. Ray’s passion and pleasing demeanor make this an enjoyable listen for anyone, young or not so young, that loves the sound of the hounds. Vintage coon hunting conversation in a podcast that will listened to by many, again and again.

Gone To The Dogs On Two Legs With A Stick

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Mon, 14 Apr 2025 16:08:51 +0000

This episode aired before the death of one of coon hunting's most successful and most colorful ambassadors. I hope you enjoy this replay from November of 2022. This episode takes us to the Ozark Mountains of Missouri and Arkansas to visit with coon hunting legend Junior Lasseter. At 73 years of age, Junior had amazing recall of events that led him from the Ozark hills to the major stages of competitive coon hunting, in the woods and on the bench. At one time in coon hunting history, there were many commercial coonhound and combination dog kennels operating out of the Ozarks. Ads appeared in the classified sections of not only the tree dog publications but in major outdoor magazines as well. Writers like Wilson Rawls created a narrative that the Ozarks were the cradle of coon hunting in America. Lasseter’s stories emanate from the same root and place him as the perfect visitant to the Gone To The Dogs microphone.

Lasseter has owned National Champions on the bench in both the UKC, PKC and ACHA registries and has a final four appearance in the UKC World Championship to his credit. He’s the first, and perhaps only handler to win a pickup truck showing hounds. Lasseter’s hounds like Table Rock Flying Hawk, Table Rock Mundo, Jr., Biggerstaff’s Little Buck, and Morgan’s Tree Jamming Mundar fill the conversations in this episode. Lasseter was known far and wide in the 80’s when Steve began his career at the UKC registry.

This episode is smothered with Ozark flavor, like cathead biscuits under a blanket of fried squirrel gravy. You’ll enjoy Junior’s stories. You’ll want to follow them to the source, and you will, where mountain music echoes off the ridges and swells up from the cold stream hollers of tree dog country. It’s all right here so, enjoy!

GTTD with the Kentucky Sporting Dog Alliance

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Mon, 7 Apr 2025 18:15:08 +0000

Kentucky has long been noted as the cradle of coon hunting as we know it today. The famed Walker family, noted for their namesake the Walker foxhound which was the forerunner of today’s Treeing Walker, the most popular of all coonhound breeds, lived in Kentucky. In this episode Steve recalls the first licensed hunt in which he participated took place at a coon hunting club in Kentucky. Considered by many to be the Kentucky Derby of coon hunting competitions, the massive PKC World Hunt was held in the western Kentucky town of Aurora for many years. Our guest Billy Carter joins Steve in remembering their great experiences hunting there and throughout the Bluegrass State. Upon learning of the formation of the new Kentucky Sporting Dog Alliance, Steve contacted former podcast guest Billy Carter to learn the skinny on the new group. It’s all here in this episode including the purpose and goals of the association, its plans to bring Kentucky sporting dog owners of every stripe under one tent and divulges the organization’s plans for statewide competitions involving monetary awards, all for the purpose of bringing hunters together. Everybody needs somebody and hunting dog enthusiasts nationwide need to realize and practice the adage “there’s strength in numbers.” We need to come together if our sport is to survive and thrive.

Gone To The Dogs with Billy Bell

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Mon, 31 Mar 2025 15:00:32 +0000

In this episode Steve talks with successful competition handler Billy Bell of Tennessee. Steve met Billy in 1998 when he joined the PKC organization as its Senior Vice President. Billy and his brother Avery were actively competing in PKC events and doing their share of winning at a time when entry fees and subsequent payouts were much smaller than they are today. Bell, has amassed nearly a half million dollars in handler earnings and continues to be a major force in today’s fast-paced competition game. The boys discuss several top hounds that Bell has handled including Carolina Peach, The Wicked Speed Shifter, Late Round Rock, Spice Girl, Cash Flow and others. Bell’s excellent recall of the hunts and hounds from his long list of experiences makes interesting conversation for competition junkies and novices alike. The episode finishes with Steve encouraging Billy to share his views on staying in top shape, physically and spiritually. It’s an episode that lives up to the show’s motto; dog talk at its finest!

Gone To The Dogs: The Volunteer Army

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Tue, 25 Mar 2025 09:00:00 +0000

In this episode, Steve travels to Columbus, Georgia, home of the U.S. Army’s Fort Benning to attend the graduation of his granddaughter from the Army Advanced Infantry Training school. He recounts his visit to the National Infantry Museum and the impact it had as it reminded him that his father completed basic training at Fort Benning in 1939 prior to WWII.

The account of Steve’s trip to Fort Benning provides a perfect segue into the episode’s purpose, the recognition of all the volunteers that make possible hundreds of events that are enjoyed by so many.

In the episode, Steve recalls several standout members of the Volunteer Army, many who have gone to their heavenly rewards. Listeners will recognize many of these standouts but will be reminded that anyone that sweeps the floor, flips the burgers, or manages the paperwork at a club is a soldier in the army and is valuable to the very last woman or man.

Michigan Wild - Deer, Turkey & Hunting Dogs

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Mon, 17 Mar 2025 14:51:15 +0000

On this episode of Michigan Wild, Nate sits down with Jeff Burnett for a great conversation about hunting in the South, taxidermy, turkey and whitetail hunting, and the role of hunting dogs.

Jeff shares his experiences hunting in Tennessee and Kentucky, where the hills and hollers offer a much different challenge than Michigan’s terrain. After moving back to Michigan three years ago, he pursued his longtime passion for taxidermy, launching Ritual Taxidermy. He discusses the journey of starting his business and the artistry involved in preserving trophies for hunters.

The conversation also dives into the world of hunting dogs and how they can be game-changers in the field. Jeff and Nate share stories about their experiences and how dogs enhance the hunting experience, helping others enjoy the outdoors in new ways.

To wrap up, the guys talk about their excitement for the upcoming turkey season, potential out-of-state hunts, and personal hunting goals for the year ahead.

Gone To The Dogs with Mack Britt

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Mon, 10 Mar 2025 19:13:34 +0000

Steve invites his Florida coon hunting buddy Mack Britt to join him for a conversation about Mack’s current project, a Walker male named Clutch. The banter centers on Clutch’s progression from being a lightly-started rookie of eighteen months to his current status as Mack’s nightly choice for coon hunting in Florida’s always challenging terrain and atmospheric conditions. The value in this podcast lies in the information and encouragement it provides to hunters that may be on the verge of giving up on a hound that isn’t progressing up to expectations. Clutch’s story will illustrate that each dog is different, that they progress at their individual rate, depending upon the opportunities they are given and that even the most unlikely candidate can blossom into a hound the hunter will appreciate and enjoy in time. Britt last appeared on Gone To The Dogs a year ago and the guys have a lot to catch up on. This is a podcast for coon hunters that are determined to press on despite the adversities of age, adverse hunting conditions and dog-related problems. You’ll find this one entertaining and inspirational. It could be described as the light at the end of the tunnel. Enjoy.

Gone to the Dogs with Fred Moran

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Mon, 3 Mar 2025 18:05:43 +0000

It’s time for another visit with octogenarian coon hunter Fred Moran. Fred is affectionately known as Fred Moran the Redbone Man and has been for decades. Moran is now 88 years young and is still following the hounds of the night even though he has cut back to “two or three” nights a week by his own admission. Steve had been concerned about his old friend, largely due to age and some health concerns but finds Fred to be in rare form for this episode. Moran episodes always entertain and there’s always something for the listener no matter the demographic. Settle if with the pair, hunters that collectively account for 166 years of experience, and enjoy some quality time with The Redbone Man.

Gone To The Dogs With Al Metcalf

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Mon, 24 Feb 2025 13:54:50 +0000

Steve lands the interview with one of his most-highly sought-after guests in this episode. Al Metcalf of Barnesville, Georgia is a tree dog enthusiast like no other. His transformation from a 32-year veteran of the Georgia Highway Patrol to what can only be described as the renaissance man of tree dog enthusiasts, Medcalf is a throwback to a time when men hunted for food and the tree dog was essential to their survival. Medcalf’s mantra “If it climbs, it’s not trash” and his waste-not-want-not attitude toward tree game reveal the soul of a real hunter and woodsman, the kind rarely seen today. Medcalf hunts a mixed bag of Plotts, Mountain Curs and Plott/Cur crosses, with little concern for popular breeds or bloodlines and proves, when the record button turns red, to be a storyteller par excellence. You’re going to love this episode.

Gone To The Dogs At The Races

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Mon, 17 Feb 2025 06:00:00 +0000

This episode finds its roots in a text message in which a listener asks Steve if he’s going to do a podcast on Field Trials and Water races. Steve’s immediate response is, “I’m going to now.”

Nate Hickson is a brand shiny new tree dog enthusiast, but not at all new to training dogs. In fact dog training is his vocation, it’s just that his is not the type of training we normally associate with trail and tree dogs.

Nate had lots of questions for the old timer and Steve doesn’t hold back. The origin of field trails as the precourser to Nite Hunts is a good place to begin the conversations and things sort of accelerate from there. Citing the UKC’s centenial publication The First 100 Years as a reference source, Steve, who authoring many of the articles in the book, takes Nate, and the listener on a fact-filled journey back to the 1930s in this interesting look at the genesis of hound games and ends by asking the question, will the Field Trails and Water Races be the game of the future. It’s an interesting question framed in a lot of interesting accounts and rememberances. Enjoy.

Gone To The Dogs with Lucas and Kayleigh Clemmons

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Mon, 10 Feb 2025 21:51:58 +0000

When Steve and his partner in coonhounds Mark Miller made the decision to offer their young Quadruple Grand Champion Bear Pen Fever at stud, a young couple from southeastern North Carolina were the first to book a breeding. Lucas and Kayleigh Clemmons, both in their 20s decided to take a chance on the unproven stud dog after losing the hound that had intended to use. The bitch the Clemmons duo wanted to breed was a two-year old Plott female they named Lean Mean Jolene

In this episode Steve talks with the Clemmons’ about the decision, the surprise the litter of twelve provided them and the decision to raise the entire litter in their home. This is a great conversation for hunters wishing to get their spouses involved in their sport and addresses the advantages to be had and the pitfalls to be avoided. Lady listeners will particularly enjoy Kayleigh’s perspective on hounds and hunting from a woman’s point of view.

With so many young hunters entering the hound sports today, this episode provides the answer to the age old question, is coon hunting strictly a man’s game.

Gone To The Dogs with Good Ole Boys

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Tue, 4 Feb 2025 15:03:23 +0000

The theme for the popular Dukes of Hazard tv show features the following line:
“Straight'nin' the curves, flat’nin the hills. Someday the mountain might get ‘em, but the law never will.”

This episode features two “good ole boys” in the persons of host Steve Fielder and his Kentucky-born guest Jerry Barker. Like the Bo and Luke Duke theme suggests, the boys “make their way” through a pile of coon hunting topics that should resonate with anyone comfortable enough to wear the good ole boy label themselves.

This one comes through as tasty as country ham bathed in red eye gravy with grits on the side. It’s a down-home kind of “thang” that anyone identifying with the “good ole boy” label will enjoy. “Just a good ol' boys, wouldn’t change if they could, fightin’ the system like modern day Robin Hoods.” Good ole boys.

Gone To The Dogs with Brad Hall

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Mon, 27 Jan 2025 12:59:26 +0000

Houndsmen and hound women join the hound-hunting sport chiefly for one purpose, to experience the audible thrill of the chase, the proverbial music of the hounds. Imagine if you will, a consummate hound hunter since youth, loving this sport above all other experiences and facing the real possibility that he will lose his hearing, rendering him no longer able to experience the sport that which he truly loves?
Our guest this week was that hunter. His story includes his failed attempts to join the military, his early days of competition hunting, his affinity for bluegrass music, his discovery of a hidden talent which he exhibits for our host, and the story of his fear that surgical attempts to save his hearing could leave him totally deaf. It’s a story of faith, determination,and overcoming seemingly impossible obstacles.
Brad Hall works for jet engine manufacturer Rolls Royce in Indianapolis. He is launching a new venture in the form of a podcast to bring coon hunters of faith to his microphone to share their stories, all of which center around the sport of raccoon hunting and include testimonies of faith. Steve takes the opportunity to explore the content Brad plans to bring to his show as the two longtime friends share this common interest.

Gone To The Dogs with DYI Coon Hunter Matthew Huff

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Mon, 20 Jan 2025 19:00:07 +0000

Steve met Matthew Huff three years ago on social media. The hunters shared a love for tree dogs that brought them to a personal meeting at the 2022 Grand American Coon Hunt in South Carolina. Huff’s story is unique. It begins in California and moves eastward to Georgia. The catalyst for his mostly urban coon hunting activities came in the form of a mixed breed, mostly hound, with perhaps a shot of Treeing Walker dog named Sargeant. As his travels took him across the nation Huff continued to hunt the orphaned Sarge mostly by himself on public grounds and parks until a purebred Bluetick entered the picture. That’s were we find Huff today, treeing coons with regularity and assuming the more common role of hound and hunter with a traditional coonhound breed. Mentioning Huff as an urban coon hunter, he now lives in metro Atlanta. Activities inspired by the Orthodox Christian Church with whom he affiliates, have taken him to the mountains of West Virginia and to the Carolinas helping those in need, something that comes naturally to the humanitarian. This is an interesting episode that proves that hounds can lead us in many directions, some of which we may never had expected.

Chasing Shadows: Hounds, Trash, and the Bear Struggle

After a hard season comes to an end, Heath catches back up with George Lambert (Mountainmusicandmules) to discuss what they both saw this season. Hunting the same region a couple hours apart they both had similar experiences. Low food sources, seeming low bear numbers to young dogs running anything to would satisfy their urge to scorch the earth. George and Heath take it to the next level.

Gone To The Dogs-Remembering President Jimmy Carter

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Mon, 13 Jan 2025 17:53:22 +0000

Bear hunter Holt Collier, who was the guide for the famous “teddy bear” hunt that earned President Theodore Roosevelt his nickname, can lay claim to taking a sitting president bear hunting. That’s a distinction similar to that of our guest but not quite. Our guest Mark Israel of Smithfield, Georgia, took the 39th President of the United States coon hunting and not just once, but several times following the family friend’s term in office.

Steve met Israel during his PKC days and Mark related to our host, several stories of his hunts with the peanut farmer from Plains, Georgia turned governor and ultimately president of the United States, Jimmy Carter. Carter’s famous farm in Plains sits a mere six miles from the Israel family’s homestead.

Carter served the State of Georgia as its governor from 1971 to 1975 and the nation as president, from 1977 to 1981. He received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his humanitarian work.

This exclusive Gone To The Dogs podcast presents an interesting conversation involving hounds, coon hunting, secret service agents and an inside look at a man that once was the most powerful man in the world.

On The Road and Gone To The Dogs

At the point of the recording, two nights of a four-night hunt have been accomplished. The account of opening night; a date coon hunters universally look forward to all year long, is the tale of a young dog coming of age and the tale of his journey from pup to coon dog.

Each listener that keeps hounds and loves the outdoors will enjoy this podcast. The conversation will paint the picture of two friends, two hounds, a coon dog and a pup, in an amazing autumn setting that can only be experienced in depth by doing as Steve has done, by getting in the truck and putting nearly 1000 miles on the odometer before the hounds are released into the mountain air on an incredible opening night.

Gone To The Dogs For Thanksgiving

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Mon, 25 Nov 2024 16:35:47 +0000

This episode drops on the Monday before Thanksgiving. Steve extolls the joys of one of his favorite times of year as the episode opens. Thanksgiving could well be called the hunter’s holiday since so much hunting activity routinely takes place on and around the traditional holiday.

Fellow podcast content creator Clayton Stark’s post on social media forms the basis for reflections by many members of the hound hunting community as they recall special memories. Moreso than any other, Thanksgiving is a holiday for families; sumptuous meals, football games, recounts of family adventures combine to make the most, for some, enjoyable holiday of the year.

A phone call with Steve’s hunting buddy and frequent traveling companion Arnold “Nubbin” Moore rounds out the conversation as they discuss the upcoming annual trip to Arkansas and the White River National Wildlife Refuge.

With this episode, Steve and Ella, as well as the crews at Double U Hunting Supply, Alpha Dog Nutrition and Zepp Predator Calls, send a collective “Happy Thanksgiving to one and all!”

Parachutes and Pups with Heath Hyatt

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Thu, 21 Nov 2024 16:32:30 +0000

Houndsmen and the Appalachian Flood

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Fri, 11 Oct 2024 17:49:11 +0000

Jones describes first hand what it’s like to see entire towns, bridges and highways swept away with no warning. This frank conversation exposes the insensitivities of those outside the region and the shear hopelessness felt by citizens of the region, many of them hound people themselves.

Jones describes the devastation and recounts the terrible tragedy as a fellow coon and bear hunter on a rescue mission with his boat is swept under a bridge and has not been seen. It’s not the average feel-good episode but it does reveal the importance of living each day as if it is the last.

I felt it important to do this podcast at this particular time if for no other reason than to bring help and comfort to those that are so badly in need. Jones emphasizes the importance of looking to those nearby that may need our help and doing what we can for them first. It’s a sobering episode but one that we all need to hear at this very difficult time.

Gone To The Dogs with Shininger and Cable

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Tue, 24 Sep 2024 17:49:28 +0000

When the Autumn Oaks interviews suffered a hit by unexpected electronic foes, the onsite conversation with Plott aficionado Bill Shininger and youth handler/hunter Hannah Cable had to be rescheduled after the event. What would seem to be a disappointment, lacking the on-site flavor of the crowd at Oaks, the interview turned out to be an easy-listening episode that listeners are sure to appreciate.

Shininger is no newcomer to the podcast while Cable is a first-timer. The exchange runs the gamut of all things Plott dogs. Shininger is a breeder and fancier that has hitched his kennel’s star to a standout stud dog named Lazarus, winner of the trifecta for Plotts with three-in-a-row victories at the prestigious Plott Days event hosted annually by the National Plott Hound Association.

The name Cable is legendary in the coonhound world through the exploits of Hannah’s older brother Kevin, handler and promoter of the famed Big Money-line of Treeing Walker dogs. Kevin’s seventeen-year-old sister Hannah has also earned considerable acclaim but with her Plott dogs. Showing and sometimes hunting Gambler, her first Plott and Joe, brother to Shininger’s stud dog Lazarus, Hannah has compiled a long list of wins, largely in Bench Show competition but not all.

Shininger and Cable appear in this episode because of their demonstrated willingness to give back to the sport they love. Shininger’s efforts in encouraging hunters to preserve their hounds through frozen semen and Cable’s efforts to encourage and help other youth to excel in the hound sport she loves make them both worthy of your time. The inspiration and encouragement they bring is infectious.

Gone to the Dogs with The Old Men

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Thu, 19 Sep 2024 20:28:59 +0000

Steve’s guest is Tennessean T. L. Jones. Many of Jones’ friends know him as Tracey. Tracey is a third-generation houndsman and bear hunter. He is also an ordained Baptist minister and a newly-published author. He appears as our guest in this episode because he is a great speaker and an altogether interesting fellow on many subjects. Tracey has written a unique book titled The Old Men. Born in 1970 in East Tennessee, much of his boyhood was spent in the company of old men, farming, hunting, fishing and as he puts it, “loafering” in the Appalachian Mountains. Jones’ book consists of eighty-four essays representing conversations with the old men of his experience that help boys become men. Steve and Tracey are longtime friends. They share a love for the Plott Hound and much of the conversation in this episode centers upon their experiences with the special old houndsmen in their lives. For Steve, it’s the many years he hunted with his dad. For Jones, the experiences with his dad and his grandfather continue to inspire his pastoral work and his writing. Each attribute their attitudes and accomplishments to the good sense to listen to the old men. Whether you are young or old, you are bound to find something to enjoy in this unique episode.

Gone To The Dogs at Autumn Oaks

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Tue, 10 Sep 2024 13:25:53 +0000

In this the first of the 2024 Autumn Oaks recordings, Steve is joined by Texan Sid Underwood and by Land of Lincoln coon hunter Doug Crawley. The conversations were recorded live in media center of the Kuhlman Center, headquarters for the Event Where History Is Made.

Underwood had the distinction of being the last Bench Show Judge to judge Autumn Oaks in its entirety as a single judge. The event now employs two judges and as many rings in the three-day event. The old friends discuss many aspects of Autumn Oaks, of coon hunting in the State of Texas and their association as co-employees of the Field Operations Department of UKC when Steve was there.

Crawley set a milestone in the UKC World Coonhound Championship that can never be replicated. His Treeing Walker Coonhound Crawley’s Louise became the first-ever female hound to win the UKC World Nite Hunt Championship. Louise accomplished the feat in 1989, thirty-five years ago. Steve and Doug take a nostalgic trip back to Montgomery City, Missouri, then headquarters of John and Linda Wick’s Wick Outdoor Works supply business, including accounts of the hunt that took place in the midst of a hurricane.

Gone To The Dogs: Coon Hunting Legend Glen Young

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Mon, 2 Sep 2024 14:16:26 +0000

Glen Young is 89 years old. He has hunted with James Merchant, Joe House, John Monroe, Frank Giddings, Harold Trusty, Buddy Gilbert, Tam Young, and the list goes on, of famous hunters past and present.

Steve recently spent an hour with Glen, with the promise of much more to come, to discuss his upbringing in rural Arkansas, his hunts with Deep River Mike, Merchant’s Banjo II (whom he remembers as the best competition dog of his experience) and a long list of hounds coonhound historians will recall. Despite his age, his mind is still as sharp as an Old Timer coon skinner and his vast knowledge of the coon hunting game will inform and entertain lovers of the tree dog as no other.

With UKC’s giant Autumn Oaks coonhound extravaganza happening this month, Steve calls longtime friend Lee Currens of Piedmont, South Carolina to discuss their plans for the big event.

We talk about the judges UKC has selected for “The Event Where History Is Made” and talk about Lee’s experiences having judged the event three times.

The “Dog Talk At Its Finest” mantra is well-supported in this episode as two veterans discuss many facets of the coonhound sport by way of their many years of experience, Steve as the manager and Lee as a major competitor. This one provides an enjoyable look at one of the nation’s most important coonhound events.

Gone To The Dogs - Who's Responsible?

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Tue, 6 Aug 2024 13:56:16 +0000

Most hunters believe the first line of responsibility in providing good dogs to hunt rests with the breeder. Others may point to the dog’s owner, commonly called the trainer, as the one chiefly responsible for the dog’s success or failure. And that’s just talking about performance. How about breed type in the show ring? Who decides what’s correct or faulty?

The boys engage in the usual “dog talk at its finest” in the opening minutes of the episode before cracking the lid on a can of mayhem and confusion centered on the age old “just who gives you the right” challenge. Triggered somewhat by comments on recent social media, Corey opens a discussion about who gets to decide what quality is in a given breed of hounds? And, beyond that, who has the authority to call the shots when it comes to breeding quality dogs? Does simply owning a great dog make the owner the be-all, end-all authority on the breed? Opinions in this episode are flying like starlings in the wind, the opinions no more authoritative than the flapping of wings yet no less passionate.

This is a lively discussion that’s bound to stir a reaction or two within every houndsman, color and conformation preferences aside.

From The Pages Of Full Cry - It’s In The Bag

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Mon, 5 Aug 2024 09:00:00 +0000

Who would be crazy enough to put a lion in a sack? The list is short, but today's episode introduces you to a man who did just that.

Today's episode gives a new meaning to the statement “it’s in the bag”. The real question is what’s in that bag? Or even better yet, "were putting what in that bag?" For anyone who is familiar with the South West hunting/cowboy culture, you know there is a different breed of Houndsmen down in that region. The men responsible for the beginning of lion studies, stocking zoo’s and even capturing the big cats that crossed the Hollywood screen. This article is all about the feeling of success when you see all your training pay off and the true definition of a good friend and hunting partner.

Gone To The Dog - The Elephant In The Room

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Fri, 2 Aug 2024 09:00:00 +0000

We’re taking about cheating. When Steve was with the registries he dealt with it on a fairly frequent basis. Determined to keep coon hunting in a positive light, he rarely wrote publicly about the subject, choosing to let the system deal with perpetrators behind the scenes. Now, unburdened by what was before, he and Corey spotlight the pencil crooks, the blind voters, the dog pitchers and catchers, and the movers and switchers in a sport that was built, and owes its very survival to the premise that honor belongs to whom honor is due.

You’ll enjoy this eye-opening look at the sport behind the scenes and, believe it or not, may come away feeling better about it in the process. There’s no substitute, no better remedy, for correcting the ills of dishonesty in competition than a good working knowledge of the rules of the game by all participants. The problems and solutions of keeping a level field are all here in this episode. We not only see the elephant in this episode, we skin it out and tack its hide to the wall.

Thing About Bears Again

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Mon, 29 Jul 2024 09:00:00 +0000

It’s that time of year again and it couldn’t come soon enough! Ross decided to come home from catching bears to grace us with his presence. The guys have a few rabbits to chase. Ross and Jason talk about finished dogs starting to slick tree, working through problems and even dog turds. It may be semi-random, but it was fun!

The History Of The Leopard Dog

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Fri, 26 Jul 2024 09:00:00 +0000

Where did the Leopard Dog come from? That is a question we may never know the answer to. Were Leopard Dogs and Plotts crossed? While opinions differ, today’s author proposes that is exactly what happened. On the quest to make the best bear dogs in the land, there are lots of twist and turns. But to sculpt a masterpiece a sculptor must use a combination of the finest materials and the highest quality of tools. Building a bear dog is no different. It takes the keen eye of the sculptor to seek out the greatest raw material and then work his magic. Did Henry Plott have the same vision in mind for the Plott dogs? Did Henry Plott see the Leopard dogs as a vital piece of the Plott hounds we know and love today? Listen up ladies and gentlemen, class is in session.

Gone To The Dogs – Summertime Blues

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Tue, 23 Jul 2024 03:01:07 +0000

They’re here folks. The hot, sultry, dog days of summer, considered by the ancient Greeks to be connected with heat, drought, sudden thunderstorms, lethargy, fever, mad dogs and bad luck. Hound hunters will agree with that Hellenistic view, adding mosquitos, poisonous snakes and humidity to the mix as they try to keep a hound in shape or to attend competitions at this time of year.

Steve and Corey touch on track dogs and tree climbers in this episode from the front porch on a dog day afternoon. Steve has some pretty serious views on the subject of climbing trees when training hounds and offers a strong admonishment to those tempted to apply the method to their training regimen in a single word, don’t!

Whether your drink of choice is sweet tea or a mint julep, pour a tall one and enjoy an hour or so with us, rocking to the Summertime blues

Gone To The Dogs

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Tue, 16 Jul 2024 01:23:58 +0000

In this episode Steve is joined by bear hunter Wes Woodyard of Narrows, Virginia to roast, if somewhat mildly, their mutual friend, professional trainer and Double U Hunting Supply podcast personality Heath Hyatt.

Wes and Steve have known and have made many hunts with Heath over several years. It was on a Freedom Hunter’s Adventure with Heath that Steve and Wes became well-acquainted. This week the two come together to discuss some “Hyatt-style Adventures” that adequately spill the beans on the professional trainer. Woodyard credits Heath with bringing him into the hound sport and when he asked for the opportunity to give credit where credit is due on a podcast, Steve was glad to comply. The episode illustrates the importance of mentoring new hunters into the sport.

This is a feel-good episode that just goes to show that while bringing someone into the sport isn’t always easy, it can pay big dividends. Woodyard, formed in the Hyatt mold, is an extreme hound hunter that never shirks the hard stuff when it comes to hunting and harvesting black bears. Every hunting party needs one like Wes. You’ll enjoy this one.

Letting Go

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Wed, 10 Jul 2024 05:00:00 +0000

We all make mistakes in picking, handling, and training dogs. Sometimes experience goes a long way. Heath has seen dogs being washed because of shyness. He tells us more about the behavior and what to watch for. Hunting young dogs together is another topic discussed in this episode. How does selling a hound affect you? Letting go isn’t easy.

Gone To The Dogs – Talking Track Dogs with Steve and Corey

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Tue, 9 Jul 2024 17:52:34 +0000

Corey Gruver is back and he and Steve have the porch rockers humming like the treadle wheel on Grandma’s sewing machine as they talk about a wide assortment of topics this week.

Hot weather is abundant and so are summertime tales in this episode. Recent exploits of the boys Plott dogs as well as the announcement of the upcoming nuptials of Corey’s female Goldie to Bill Shininger’s stud dog are front and center. The talk moves to the latest accomplishments of Steve and Mark Miller’s Plott Fever in field and water events and progresses to the realm of deep-thinking about how to decide when and to which stud to breed with an admonition to owners of females “not to wait too long.”

With Autumn Oaks less than two months away, the boys share some of their favorite humorous stories from experiences at “The Event Where History Is Made.”

This one is jam-packed with good information concerning how to improve club membership, explores the dangers of a once-common practice of climbing trees and culminates with a very interesting conversation on the importance of track dogs in the sport. The boys discuss the all-important question “which is more important, the track dog or the tree dog?” If you don’t listen to anything else this week, check out this portion of the podcast. It’s good stuff!

GONE TO THE DOGS WITH DEXTER WHATLEY

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Tue, 2 Jul 2024 11:36:25 +0000

The podcast moves this week down Texas way, to the northeast Ark-La-Tex region for a visit with longtime coon hunter and Bluetick enthusiast Dexters Whatley. Dex has been on the podcast a couple of times in our on-the-spot interviews at major coonhound events the likes of Autumn Oaks and the UKC Winter Classic. Co-host Corey Gruver and Steve have been addressing various aspects of treeing in reference to coonhounds in previous episodes. In this podcast, Whatley joins in a discussion based on exploring the many aspects of trail or track dogs in our sport. Whatley, in his competition days was well-known for following some mighty-good Bluetick hounds and Steve is not hesitant to explore with the man that fed them, the attributes of those dogs in regard to whether or not they could be identified as good track dogs. All the aspects of what it means to be recognized as a “track dog” are explored in this episode. Dex is very knowledgeable, can be extremely humorous and speaks with an accent and with the demeanor of one that is definitely Lone Star to the bone. Enjoy.

Gone To The Dogs - Youth Promoter Caden Riley

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Wed, 26 Jun 2024 19:23:45 +0000

Caden Riley is an extraordinary young man. At nineteen years of age, the Georgia coon hunter has reached levels of vision for, and an understanding of, our sport usually attained by individuals well beyond his years. In a word, Caden is a young hunter who cares.

Desiring to do something to stimulate activity and participation in coon hunting among Georgia’s youth, Riley approached Professional Kennel Club’s National Youth Director Chris Freiberger for ideas. The result is the Peach State Shootout series of qualifying events held throughout the summer that will advance the overall winners to a championship to be held in the fall.

This episode spotlights coon hunting from the perspective of a young man that totally enjoys and totally gets it. You are going to be energized by the demeanor and knowledge of a young man possessed of ways of thinking usually reserved for hunters much older than he. If you love the sport and I know you do, you are going to especially enjoy it from the perspective of Caden Riley.

Gone To The Dogs with the Redbone Man

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Tue, 18 Jun 2024 13:42:44 +0000

It’s been a minute since Steve last talked with octogenarian houndsman Fred Moran of Pennsylvania. Now well into his eighties, Moran is still following the breed that gave him his famous moniker, Fred Moran the Redbone Man and doing so on a regular basis.

In this episode Steve picked up the phone on the chance that he talk with his longtime friend and was lucky enough to catch Moran before he headed to the woods. The conversation that ensued was vintage Moran with stories of hounds and hunts of the past, humorous antic dotes and amazingly detailed trips down memory lane that winds through virtually every states when raccoons are pursued with hounds..

As listeners will see, Moran’s mind is a sharp as a double-bladed axe fresh off the grinder permitting the vintage coon hunter to hone his stories, including names and places, to a fine razor’s edge. If you are a Moran fan, and we know you are, you’ll really enjoy this episode.

Gone To The Dogs, To The Tree That Is – Part 2

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Mon, 10 Jun 2024 05:00:00 +0000

In this, the second episode about tree dogs, the boys are dealing with problems that occur at the tree. Everything from tree jacking to chewing to guarding the tree are discussed in detail.

In their years of experience with tree dogs of all types, the pair has experienced and have attempted to correct all manner of issues that make what should be the sublime experience of walking up and seeing game in the tree at the end of the trail, a stressful and often worrisome experience for the hunter.

The episode is ripe with common sense approaches to dealing with tree problems and is a program most any tree dog enthusiast will appreciate even if they don’t recall as personal experiences. Admittedly, there may be more problems identified than resolved in this issue with a promise of more solutions to come. Tree problems are complex and the hosts don’t take them lightly, being careful to present only useful, commonsense remedies.

Prepare to hear discussions on milling at the tree, dogs that become jealous at the tree and dogs that become hunt sour after entering too many competitions. There’s a lot of information packed in this issue and it’s all intended to make the experience of hunting game with tree dogs more enjoyable. There is also an admonishment that if the listener is afraid to correct problems at the tree, he or she may well need to find another dog or at the extreme, another sport.

Let Me Take Him Home, From the Pages of Full Cry

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Fri, 7 Jun 2024 09:00:00 +0000

Today's story may be from the February 1966 issue of Full Cry, but is just as relevant today as it was back then.

"Let me take him home” is a great representation of a houndsman’s heart. Even when surrounded by evil in the big city, a country boy has the courage to stand up and take on an angry mob to defend one of his own kind. While those that do not understand our way of life cry for blood, this young man goes to blows to protect a veteran coondog that is as misplaced in the city as himself. Though he has never seen this particular dog before it is clear he “knows” him and his kind. This young man was willing to put his life on the line against the mob to give the respect and decency that this old hound deserves. Our world would be a lot better if everyone could see through this young man’s eyes.

Gone to the Dogs, Tree Dogs That Is

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Thu, 6 Jun 2024 09:00:00 +0000

Todays episode dives into the true meaning of a tree dog. Everyone has their own idea of what makes a tree dog, so today Steve and Corey give their two cents.

“A brace of cane-backed rocking chairs invited the pair with oaken arms and soon the rough-sawn wood floor was creaking with the ebb and flow of their rocking.” Taken from “Too Old To Quit,” an essay from his Gone To The Dogs – A Coon Hunter’s Journey book by Steve Fielder.

In this week’s episode, Steve and Corey participate in some summertime front porch-sitting and the conversation turns to the core of the sport of hunting furbearers with the quintessential tree dog.

As sure as pointing dogs point birds and waterfowl dogs retrieve ducks, tree dogs tree game. Tree dogs come in all sizes, styles, mouths and a plethora of preferences by the hunters that follow them.

How long is long enough to stay treed? What is locating ability? Are layup dogs really just hot-nosed dogs that work air currents instead of scent on the ground? Which is more preferred, a chop-mouth or a bawl-mouth tree dog and is there really a difference are but a few of the subjects explored.

If you consider yourself a tree dog man, we’ve got the tree. We just need you to help us find what’s up it this episode.

They just don't make them like Mr. Ben Lilly anymore. Here is a little bit of Houndsman history for you.

Gone To The Dogs – Steve and Corey Talk Stud Dogs

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Mon, 27 May 2024 13:07:45 +0000

The bees are humming and the hoot owls are wondering who’s doing the cookin’ in this episode from the front porch as Cary returns to the Gone To The Dog Podcast after welcoming a new daughter into the Gruber household.

While he was gone, Corey joined the fund-raising ranks with his involvement in a charity called Wags for Kids. His plan involves raising money for deserving kids needing therapy dogs and such and it produced the idea of a coonhound stud dog auction. Thirty owners agreed to provide stud service on social media to the highest bidder with all proceeds going to the benefit. The plan is working great and the boys talk about that in this episode which naturally leads into a much broader discussion of the ins and outs of running a stud dog in today’s tree dog market.

The discussion runs the gamut of pros and cons and provides a lot of insight and information for anyone thinking of putting a nice hound up for public stud. Pull up and rocker, sharpen up your Ticonderoga #2 and let’s talk stud dogs with Corey and Steve.

We hope you enjoy this story filled with trainwrecks, an unusual chase and one raunchy mule. Ol” Milo has really got himself into a mess on this one! Sore feet, broken ego and some fence repairs are just the beginning for Ol’ Milo.

Outstanding Youth

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Tue, 14 May 2024 14:09:33 +0000

When your dad’s the most successful Treeing Walker breeder in recent history with major money wins, World Championships and Hall of Fame inductions at every turn, it would appear that sharing the big stage, the limelight if you will, would be a long time coming in the shadow of dad Randy’s success. When you have the attitude, work ethic and the respect for the game of a seventeen-year old Troy Smith, being recognized for your own achievements seems as natural as summer rain.

In this episode, Steve heads up to western Pennsylvania to hunt with Troy and Randy and to record Troy’s story. The trip entailed two nights of hunting with a pair of Lone Pine yearlings, Lone Pine Phara at seventeen months and Lone Pine Phalse Profit at fourteen months. A total of nine raccoons were seen on as many trees on the two-night hunt. The second night was a short one as Steve respected the early departure time for his homebound flight.

This recording is worth your time for a number of reasons, especially if there are young hunters in your family or circle of friends. It presents the opportunity to view the sport and what it holds for young ones that indeed will inherit it and carry it forward. Refreshing is the word that comes to mind.

John Sturgill Tribute Hunt

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Tue, 7 May 2024 09:00:00 +0000

When host Steve Fielder was a young hunter attending coonhound events in Virginia and West Virginia, prior to his registry days, he often hunted with John Sturgill and Les Bolen. The duo were coon hunting buddies and were a force to be reckoned with in competition and on the numerous pleasure-hunts our host enjoyed with them in those days. Each man was noted then and now for having world class Plott Hounds.

Recently, Jamie Estep, who joins Sturgill and Bolen in this episode, designated the annual National Plott Hound Association’s West Virginia Plott Sectional the John Sturgill Tribute Hunt and Show. Sturgill was honored throughout the recent three days of hunts, shows and bear events. Estep invited Steve to judge the bench show on Friday, setting up the perfect opportunity for the friends to get together and recall old times.

This is a feel-good conversation centered upon hunting in the rugged West Virginia mountains with Plott dogs. Estep recalls Sturgill and Bolen as role models for his own career which now includes the title of Field Representative for UKC and anchor for the YouTube video coverage of the popular Tournament of Champions for coonhounds.

Steve is betting you will really enjoy this one.

Gone To The Dogs In A Florida Swamp

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Mon, 29 Apr 2024 13:58:44 +0000

There are 118 species of reptiles in Florida. The largest, the American alligator is the state reptile. The most common is the brown anole, a commonly seen lizard. Within the gauntlet of creepy, crawly things are rattlesnakes, cottonmouths and the fairly recent invasive threat, the Burmese python. Living, and hound hunting in Florida is an exercise in dealing with reptiles on a regular basis.

Florida coon hunter Mack Britt of Parrish, Florida, an unincorporated community in Manatee County near Sarasota on the west coast, began coon hunting with his dad as a boy. He was bitten by the hound dog bug at an early age and has remained true to his calling for nearly fifty years.

The reasons Mack was chosen as a guest for this podcast are manifold. First and foremost, he is a “good old boy.” I’ve never heard a disparaging word uttered about Mack among his peers within the community of Florida coon hunters. I’ve driven thousands of miles with him to PKC hunts, his hunt of choice, and have enjoyed every mile. I talk with him regularly by phone.

Secondly, Mack is a veteran coon hunter in an area the is not for the faint of heart, an area where the numbers of coon hunters has dwindled over the years. He knows Florida coons and their habitats as well as anyone and better than most. He isn’t afraid to brave the hazards of hunting alone in a jungle swamp and does so regularly. When a dog trees, his or yours, he will hack, crawl, and crash his way through palmettos, cat-claw briars and soft-bottomed, snake-infested swamps to get to the dog.

If you’re wondering what it would be like to hunt coons in Florida, here it is. It ain’t pretty, but if you are the adventurous type, there ain’t nothin’ like it!

Gone To The Dogs – With MULTIPURPOSE Hounds

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Mon, 22 Apr 2024 12:56:37 +0000

Spring has sprung across the podcast sphere and the boys have moved the Gone To The Dogs operation to the front porch where the air is fresh and the conversation flows a little more freely.

This episode will be Corey’s last for awhile as he and his wife Kayla welcome their second child, another girl, into the Gruver household. It could happen at any time. It’s an exciting time for sure and one that will demand a little more of Corey’s attention than usual. He’ll rejoin the show as soon as things settle down a bit over there in Greenville, PA.

In this parting episode, the discussion moves to the winners of the UKC Tournament of Champions briefly before plunging headlong into the interesting realm of multi-purpose hounds. The boys explore every conceivable application of the term from competition versus pleasure dogs to targeting multi-species with the same breed and virtually everything in between. Imagine a dog that you can leave the porch and with which you can catch anything from a gray squirrel to a big ole stinking bear before the sun sets and turn around and hunt nocturnal furbearers with until the first gray streaks of dawn! Now that’s what we’re talkin’ about! Pull up a rocker. Things are finna start.

We are happy to announce Alpha Dog Nutrition as an official sponsor of the Double U Hound Podcast and a new product available at https://www.dusupply.com/alphadog. We would like to thank them for supporting our hounds, listeners and now our customers. Listen in and get to know the people behind the product and their mission to make sure our dogs have all the tools to succeed in the field for years to come.

Things have come a long way for Alpha Dog since things started in Joe’s garage. Their commitment and reputation of providing the tools our dogs need to perform at a top level has resulted in a very loyal customer base, and some very happy dogs. With a background in waterfowl hunting, both Joe and Zach know that all dogs can benefit from balanced nutrition, but after one bear hunt Zach knew that hounds were a different breed. His appreciation and respect for what our dogs do sparked a fire for hounds, bringing him back to bear camp year after year.

Tracking Madness

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Wed, 17 Apr 2024 09:00:00 +0000

Tracking game with hounds takes a good hound. Tracking game without takes mad skills. Legendary tracker and Big game hunter Rick Labbe has done both. Rick has logged thousands of miles tracking deer through the north woods. He has also run hounds on coon, cat, coyotes and bear. Heath and Rick discuss topics from types of dogs to what Rick sees with animal habits while he’s tracking. This one is jam-packed with training tips, advice, and wild stories.

Gone To The Dogs - Hot Stove Vol. 4

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Mon, 8 Apr 2024 09:00:00 +0000

The boys are baking their bones by the stove again in this episode that covers everything from cross-bred bulldogs to the UKC Tournament of Champions.

Steve is on the road for a couple of weeks to New Jersey for family time and some fly fishing. The only dogs he’ll see is the daughter’s hound/pit bull mix and the family Dachshund Louie who accompanies Ella everywhere. But the combined efforts of Ma Bell and Al Gore provide the opportunity to keep Gone To The Dogs on schedule while on the long and winding road.

The boys discuss the format, breed breakdowns and the ambiance that makes the TOC the premier coonhound event that it is, an event that boasts a purse of $250,000 distributed among winners at the finals held on the weekend following the airing of this episode. The overall winner captures $50 grand! Who would have thunk it?

Things get interesting, even humorous, when the boys throw another chunk in the stove to discuss recent posts on the Coon Hunting Conversations Facebook group page. Moving stud dogs around the country, deep-and-lonely dogs being born that way or manmade and what is seemingly causing smaller heads in some coonhounds. It’s all here and as the cliched phrase admonishes, “You won’t want to miss this one.” Heck, we don’t want you to miss any of them. Give that log a little more air, son.

Gone To The Dogs - Plott Hound Fever

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Mon, 1 Apr 2024 14:36:33 +0000

In this episode co-hosts Steve Fielder and Corey Gruver are joined by coon hunter, trainer and handler Mark Miller of Taylorsville, North Carolina. Miller recently completed the Holy Grail of coon hunting, the United Kennel Club Grand Nite Champion title with a Plott dog co-owned by Steve and himself, Bear Pen Fever.

The trio drill down into Fever’s success story discussing the young hound’s progression from a five-month-old puppy to reaching the pinnacle in competition hunting at less than two and one-half years old.

Corey leads the interview leaving few stones unturned in terms of exactly what’s involved in achieving the Grand Nite Champion and other UKC titles. Fever currently holds titles in Field Trials, Water Races, Nite Hunting, Hunt Tests and Bench Showing in UKC as well as Nite Hunting in Professional Kennel Club events. The expense, the determination, the challenges and the setbacks are all fair game. Of particular interest to listeners will be the reasons a confirmed, highly successful Treeing Walker fancier would embark on the arduous journey with a Plott of all available breeds. Steve wades the murky waters of why Plott hunters may be more prone to breed to dogs in their own backyards. You expect dog talk at its finest on the Gone To The Dogs Podcast and there’s plenty to enjoy in this episode.

The Hunting Hound - Being Ready When Things Go Pear Shaped

This past summer Bear and his hounds avoided a natural disaster by the skin of their teeth. Hear about it and what Bear has in his hound-bug-out bag and his plan for getting the hounds out safe and sound. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

GONE TO THE DOGS - HOT STOVE VOL. 3

dan@sportsmensempire.com (Sportsmen's Empire) — Mon, 25 Mar 2024 15:51:49 +0000

In this episode Steve and Corey put on their legislative caps and address a piece of current legislation in the State of Pennsylvania that portents big problems for the dog hunter. The bill comes under the umbrella of anti-trespass legislation and provides exorbitant penalties for hunting dogs and their owners that find themselves afoul of the provisions of the bill, whether advertently or not. The boys hash out the bill and provide information for hunters in Pennsylvania and elsewhere that want to let their voices be heard before the bill reaches the dangerous environs of the Senate floor.

The conversation takes on a more pleasant vibe as the boys cover the oldest and one of the most-popular breeds of trail and tree hounds, the American Black and Tan Coonhound. The boys’ love for history is evident as they discuss early history, early founders and a long line of movers and shakers, human and canine, that have played such an important role in the breed’s seemingly timeless reign of popularity. If you like black dogs, or if you just like to look back over the many years of our tree hound sport, this is a good one for you. Them ole black dawgs!
