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.  We would like to thank those who support this podcast.  Special thanks to Double U Hunting Supply for sponsoring this episode.  www.dusupply.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@DoubleUHuntingSupply/podcasts Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
