EP 435: Crossing Paths-A Journey of Friendship

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!

For hunters, our passion for the outdoors has led to more life-long relationships than many can count. Eighteen years ago a red Toyota pulled up and joined Heath and a good friend on a morning hunt. Today Heath and Ben talk about that day and the many following hunts. The start of a life-long friendship between Ben Gadway and Heath started that day. Join us as the stories begin. Heath Hyatt on FBHeath_hyatt147 IGHeath Hyatt on YoutubeWayeshkad1 on IGWayeshkad on FBWayeshkad Wear on FBWayeshkad.ca  Follow our Sponsors:Inukshuk DarkenergyOnX Double U Hunting SupplyInukshuk:Inukshukpro.comCorey.caDarkenergy: Discount code is CODE4Onx: subscribe to the best mapping app on the market by using promo code - K920Frontline Optics- Duty sunglassesPolarizedNo questions asked replacementCharitable Donation with every pairFree shippingFrontline-Optics.com use promo code - code4https://frontline-optics.com?sca_ref=5672409.03I05MEwyySubscribe to: Full Cry MagazineBear Hunting MagazineSouthern Hound hunting Magazine We would like to thank those who support this podcast.  Special thanks to Alpha Dog Nutrition and Double U Hunting Supply for sponsoring this episode.  Want to learn more about Alpha Dog Nutrition?

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.    We would like to thank those who support this podcast.  Special thanks to Alpha Dog Nutrition and Double U Hunting Supply for sponsoring this episode.  Want to learn more about Alpha Dog Nutrition?
