Every houndsman remembers his first.Your first dog.The first time you heard a hound open on a track.The first time you followed that voice through the dark.The first time you walked up to a tree with the game in it.The first dog that really meant something to you.But some of the best firsts come later.The first time your son or daughter hears a hound open.The first time they grab the lead.The first time they walk into a tree and realize what this life is all about.Those are the moments that stick with us. IG - heathhyatt147FB Heath HyattYoutube - Heath Hyatt  Send your stories or questions to: [email protected] Follow our Sponsors:Inukshuk Double U Hunting SupplyMuddy River Transport DarkenergyOnX  Inukshuk:Inukshukpro.comCorey.ca Darkenergy:  best-charging banks on market.

Sometimes a race doesn’t go according to plan—and sometimes it's an even bigger surprise at the end. In this episode, we take a look back on a race when the hounds made a switch in mid-race, something we never knew about until just before dark when we corralled a giant in the rocks.  It’s the kind of chase that reminds you why these moments stick with you: the chase, the instincts, the adrenaline, and the surprise waiting at the end. What started as one race quickly turned into a story worth telling—and a memory that takes you right back to being there.

How do you know when it’s time to call it a day? After multiple dumps, long hours in the woods, and one blown track after another ending without success, every hound hunter eventually faces that decision. In this episode, we talk about the reality of tough hunts—the frustration, the exhaustion, and the temptation to keep pushing when the woods just aren’t giving it up. Sometimes the best decision isn’t another drop; it’s loading the dogs, heading home, and living to hunt another night.

This episode is all about the reality of trying to balance work, the summer heat, and the hunting season you’ve been looking forward to all year. Sometimes the grind doesn’t just make hunting harder—it takes opportunities completely off the table. We talk about how work schedules and brutal heat can keep you out of the woods, the frustration that comes with missing opportunities, and why you have to make the most of the time you actually do get. Then we shift gears to a little dog training. We talk about one of the most important commands you can teach any dog: the recall (“come”) command. Join us every week on Creekside Chronicles and get your weekly dose of hunting with hounds.  IG - heathhyatt147 FB Heath Hyatt Youtube - Heath Hyatt  Send your stories or questions to:  [email protected] Follow our Sponsors: Inukshuk  Double U Hunting Supply Muddy River Transport  Darkenergy OnX  Inukshuk: Inukshukpro.com Corey.ca Darkenergy:  best-charging banks on market.

This week on the podcast, we start with a hunt that manages to hit both a frustrating low and an exciting high in less than 30 minutes. What begins with frustration turns into a breakthrough—and serves as a good reminder that sometimes the best thing you can do in the woods is slow down, pay attention, and be patient. We also dig into scenting conditions and some of the data I’ve collected over the past two years, looking at temperature, humidity, and how those conditions can influence what’s happening on a track. Rather than simply blaming or praising the dog, the goal is to understand the environment we’re asking them to work in. We end  by talking about something every hunter eventually has to learn: you’re not hunting the same dog you were last year. Next week opens Pandora's box into how your dog is changing and so are you.
