In this week's episode I am joined by Corey Gruver. Corey is a member of a top notch coon hunter's club here in Pennsylvania and a former employee of UKC. Corey has helped organize and run some of the largest events in the country and that experience has translated to increased turnout at his local club. We dive into Corey's ideas on how to take your club to the next level!   Sponsors: https://conkeysoutdoors.com  Promo Code TREETALKINTIME5 https://www.stonecreekhounds.com Promo Code TREETALKINTIME15 https://fullcrymag.com Merch: https://treetalkin.com/collections  Social Media: https://www.patreon.com/treetalkintime https://www.instagram.com/treetalkinmedia https://www.facebook.com/treetalkinmedia  

In this week's episode I am joined by John Saunders Sr. I met John at Autumn Oaks this past year and knew quickly into our conversation I wanted to have him on the podcast. He is a wealth of knowledge and stories but what would you expect after 50 years. John's son was on episode 58 and we talk a lot more about the squirrel dogs that they have owned in that episode. John talks about how he got started coon hunting "just by chance" and has stuck with it for 50 or maybe it's 51 years now.    Sponsors: https://conkeysoutdoors.com  Promo Code TREETALKINTIME5 https://www.stonecreekhounds.com Promo Code TREETALKINTIME15 https://fullcrymag.com Merch: https://treetalkin.com/collections  Social Media: https://www.patreon.com/treetalkintime https://www.instagram.com/treetalkinmedia https://www.facebook.com/treetalkinmedia

In this week's episode I am joined by TJ Bolin. I met TJ at Autumn Oaks and breifly learned about his female redbone Penny. Penny had won her cast in the Dual Champions hunt and won the Redbone breed in the show. After having him on I learned a lot more about redbones and the people that hunt them. TJ is quick to give credit to others that have helped him along the way. He has owned, bred, and hunted some top redbones and I can't help but think that is because of how genuine he is.  Sponsors: https://conkeysoutdoors.com  Promo Code TREETALKINTIME5 https://www.stonecreekhounds.com Promo Code TREETALKINTIME15 https://fullcrymag.com Merch: https://treetalkin.com/collections  Social Media: https://www.patreon.com/treetalkintime https://www.instagram.com/treetalkinmedia https://www.facebook.com/treetalkinmedia

In this week's episode I am joined by Mark Holladay. In episode 138 Robin told us all about the bird dog crosses he is hunting and got me and Mark hooked up so we could talk about them some more. Mark was a bird dog trainer for many years that transitioned to squirrel hunting when the birds vanished. He struggled to find something he liked until he stumbled on a couple of different bird dog crosses. These 2 dogs have built the foundation that Mark and Robin hope to continue for years to come.  Sponsors: https://conkeysoutdoors.com  Promo Code TREETALKINTIME5 https://www.stonecreekhounds.com Promo Code TREETALKINTIME15 https://fullcrymag.com Merch: https://treetalkin.com/collections  Social Media: https://www.patreon.com/treetalkintime https://www.instagram.com/treetalkinmedia https://www.facebook.com/treetalkinmedia

His little boy is already obsessed with dogs at only a year old and spoiler alert he ended up with the Plott puppy Roger mentioned at the end!   Sponsors: https://conkeysoutdoors.com  Promo Code TREETALKINTIME5 https://www.stonecreekhounds.com Promo Code TREETALKINTIME15 https://fullcrymag.com Merch: https://treetalkin.com/collections  Social Media: https://www.patreon.com/treetalkintime https://www.instagram.com/treetalkinmedia https://www.facebook.com/treetalkinmedia

In this week's episode I am joined by Joe Moore. Joe has been hunting and showing coonhounds since he was young and found some success as a kid in the UKC Youth program. This early success brought him back into the competition coonhound world after a short break for college. Joe is a diehard coon hunter that always has a nice coondog but competes at a high level in the very competative bench shows.
