 Steve’s guest is Tennessean T. L. Jones. Many of Jones’ friends know him as Tracey. Tracey is a third-generation houndsman and bear hunter. He is also an ordained Baptist minister and a newly-published author. He appears as our guest in this episode because he is a great speaker and an altogether interesting fellow on many subjects. Tracey has written a unique book titled The Old Men. Born in 1970 in East Tennessee, much of his boyhood was spent in the company of old men, farming, hunting, fishing and as he puts it, “loafering” in the Appalachian Mountains. Jones’ book consists of eighty-four essays representing conversations with the old men of his experience that help boys become men. Steve and Tracey are longtime friends. They share a love for the Plott Hound and much of the conversation in this episode centers upon their experiences with the special old houndsmen in their lives. For Steve, it’s the many years he hunted with his dad. For Jones, the experiences with his dad and his grandfather continue to inspire his pastoral work and his writing. Each attribute their attitudes and accomplishments to the good sense to listen to the old men. Whether you are young or old, you are bound to find something to enjoy in this unique episode.  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?

 Show notes: Heath connects with the founder and CEO of Hunt Lift Eat Luke Cox. Luke is from Grayson Co just a couple of counties over from where Heath grew up. Luke now resides in Colorado. The conversation went off-topic but turned into just what we needed to hear. They did squeeze in some Hunt Lift Eat mentality just at the right time. Share it with a friend and leave us a review. IG - Huntlifteat Huntlifteat.com IG - heathhyatt147   FB Heath Hyatt  Youtube - Heath Hyatt Follow our Sponsors:Inukshuk DarkenergyOnX Double U Hunting SupplyInukshuk:Inukshukpro.comCorey.caDarkenergy:  best-charging banks on market.

Steve recently spent an hour with Glen, with the promise of much more to come, to discuss his upbringing in rural Arkansas, his hunts with Deep River Mike, Merchant’s Banjo II (whom he remembers as the best competition dog of his experience) and a long list of hounds coonhound historians will recall.   Despite his age, his mind is still as sharp as an Old Timer coon skinner and his vast knowledge of the coon hunting game will inform and entertain lovers of the tree dog as no other.   You truly won't want to miss this one!  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?

Today's readings are from the March 1967 issue of Full Cry Magazine.  Founding Editor Estell Walker had some very special words for a very special dog. Bawlie played a pivotal roll in many breeding programs through the years ranging from coon dogs to big game hounds across the country.  The dogs and handlers of the past have paved the way and continue to shine a light for those continuing on their work today.Special thanks to Next Level Super Premium Dog Food for supporting our past, present and our future.
