We talked his early years as well as several stories from his many years chasing tree dogs.Russ enjoys fooling with young dogs and has a reputation for being a great pup starter.

Who knows maybe the pup he has now will be a World Champion one day.  Sponsors: https://conkeysoutdoors.com  Promo Code TREETALKINTIME5 https://shopeliteglobal.com/ Promo Code Tree10 https://www.facebook.com/p/Animal-Housing-Solutions-Inc  https://fullcrymag.com https://www.southernhoundhunting.com  Merch: https://treetalkin.com/collections  Social Media: https://www.youtube.com/@TreeTalkinMedia  https://www.patreon.com/treetalkintime https://www.instagram.com/treetalkinmedia https://www.facebook.com/treetalkinmedia

In this week's episode I am joined by Bobby Taylor. It's only taken 3 years to get him on but we finally made it hapen. Bobby gew up in the squirrel hunting mecca where just like the title says every house had a squirrel dog. Bobby has has had many crossed up dogs along with purebred dogs but the Original Mountian Curs just always seemed to suit him the best. He knew many of the founding members of the OMCBA and hopefully we will dive into more of that at a later date. In this episode we talked about many of his dogs including World Champion Taylor's Shadow.   Sponsors: https://conkeysoutdoors.com  Promo Code TREETALKINTIME5 https://fullcrymag.com https://www.southernhoundhunting.com  Merch: https://treetalkin.com/collections  Social Media: https://www.youtube.com/@TreeTalkinMedia  https://www.patreon.com/treetalkintime https://www.instagram.com/treetalkinmedia https://www.facebook.com/treetalkinmedia

In this week's episode I am joined by Reed Sikes to discuss Florida Cracker Curs. The Cracker Curs have always been a bit of a mystery to me so I was happy to hear from someone that had them. When Reed and I started talking I knew at once I wanted to discuss the breed and his experience with them. They have been primarily used for hogs and cattle but in Reed's experience they aim to please and are extremely versatile. Not only does Reed have Cracker Curs his family has also had Mountain Curs for many years as well. He has been surrounded by cur dogs his entire life.  Sponsors: https://conkeysoutdoors.com  Promo Code TREETALKINTIME5 https://fullcrymag.com https://www.southernhoundhunting.com  Merch: https://treetalkin.com/collections  Social Media: https://www.youtube.com/@TreeTalkinMedia  https://www.patreon.com/treetalkintime https://www.instagram.com/treetalkinmedia https://www.facebook.com/treetalkinmedia

In this week's episode I am joined once again by Noak Clark. Noah is a Pastor, husband, father, and a houndsman. We had a great talk about what it takes to be a true houndsman. We also discussed raising our chidren to love this way of life. Noah's life has changed a lot since the last time he was on. He has shifted from coon hunting to mostly squirrel hunting in order to get his boys in the woods. This was a great conversation that I hope you enjoy as much as I did.

In this week's episode I am joined by my friend Dr. Erin Dove DVM. Dr. Dove and her husband Chris were on a few years ago to talk about their Blueticks but in this episode we are talking all about breeding hounds. Not only is Dr. Dove a Veterinarian she is a breeder and a hunter as well, so she understands the houndsman lifestyle. She covers from pre-breeding considerations all the way through puppy care. A few things she covers in puppy care are to help develop puppies earlier and create a better more well rounded hound when they are older. Below are also a few links for products Dr. Dove mentioned throughout the podcast.  Breeder's Edge® Oral Cal Plus™ Gel FortiFlora Canine Health Supplement Pyrantel Pamoate Suspension, 50mg Safe-Guard® Dewormer  Sponsors: https://conkeysoutdoors.com  Promo Code TREETALKINTIME5 https://fullcrymag.com https://www.southernhoundhunting.com  Merch: https://treetalkin.com/collections  Social Media: https://www.youtube.com/@TreeTalkinMedia  https://www.patreon.com/treetalkintime https://www.instagram.com/treetalkinmedia https://www.facebook.com/treetalkinmedia

This week's episode is from the vault and it is a little short as well. When I called Don Page, he had never heard of a podcast but agreed to let me record. We didn't talk long but I really enjoyed our conversation. He still holds the record for the oldest guest on the show. The original episode 26. Little Black Dogs For Big Game also features a conversation with Glen Gray. So if you would like to hear more go check that out as well. Unfortunatly Don passed about 6 months after the episode aired. Born September 23rd, 1931 Don followed a tree dog from the time he was old enough to go until shortly before his passing on November 27th, 2022. I think its safe to say we all hope to be like Don!     Sponsors: https://conkeysoutdoors.com  Promo Code TREETALKINTIME5 https://fullcrymag.com https://www.southernhoundhunting.com  Merch: https://treetalkin.com/collections  Social Media: https://www.youtube.com/@TreeTalkinMedia  https://www.patreon.com/treetalkintime https://www.instagram.com/treetalkinmedia https://www.facebook.com/treetalkinmedia
