Wisconsin Sportsman - Fishin' & Filmin' with Cole Cronkright

In this episode Steve visits with Tom Hopkins of Marshall, Texas.Tom owned, trained and handled what was perhaps the most famous Treeing Walker Coonhound in the history of coon hunting, the immortal House’s Lipper. Lipper distinguished himself in competition and in the breeding pen by winning major championships and by producing more that 5000 pups, not including those that were born through frozen semen breeding.   Lipper’s record in that regard is most likely never to be broken. Lipper was making news before he was a year old and won the prestigious PCA National Championship, the prize package of which included a pickup truck, dog box and other related awards at less than two years of age.  He is the youngest Dual Grand Champion (Nite Hunt and Bench Show) on record. Steve, in this episode, persuades Tom to share the Lipper story from the first coon he treed at about seven months old to discussions about several notable Lipper offspring including House’s Lawyer, Adios Lightning, House’s Clint and House’s Cash.  If you are coonhound history buff this is the episode for you.   “Dog talk at its finest, Walker-style.”  We would like to thank those who support this podcast.

This week on the Antler Up Podcast, I’m joined by two great friends—Rob Mendoza and Jared Shaffer—for a conversation that goes beyond gear and tactics. We recorded this one while on a quick trip to Maryland, where we spent some much-needed time in the woods together and shot a local 3D archery course. It was a weekend filled with laughs, learning, and a deeper appreciation for what this lifestyle is really all about. In this episode, we dive into how hunting continues to shape our lives—not just as a pursuit, but as a way to build stronger friendships, create unforgettable memories, and stay grounded in something real. From sharing early season plans to reflecting on how hunting has transformed each of us, this one’s all about the camaraderie, growth, and connection that happens when you step outside and chase something bigger than yourself.

In this episode of 'Maximize Your Hunt', host Jon Teater (Whitetail Landscapes) and Jake Blow (Habitat Pro) discuss effective strategies for land management and habitat improvement to enhance deer hunting experiences. They delve into the importance of managing predators, the strategic placement of water sources like ponds, and the construction of berms to improve deer movement and hunting success. The conversation emphasizes the need for practical action in land management and the value of learning from the land and its wildlife. takeaways Managing predators is crucial for effective land management. Ponds can significantly enhance deer movement and attract them. Deer prefer easy routes; understanding their behavior is key. Water sources are often the best initial investment for attracting deer. Berms can effectively stop sight and sound, improving hunting success. Building berms can be a quick and effective solution for screening. Deer are purposeful in their movements; design your property accordingly. Don't let analysis paralysis prevent you from taking action. Your deer will teach you about their habits and preferences. Taking action is essential for successful land management.   Social Links https://www.habitatprollc.com/ https://www.youtube.com/c/HabitatProLLC https://whitetaillandscapes.com/ https://www.facebook.com/whitetaillandscapes/ https://www.instagram.com/whitetail_landscapes/?hl=en Learn more about your ad choices.
