EP 395: The Hunting Hound United

Today Buddy and Jason sit down with Brandon White to talk some dog food.  The guys talk about the process and the safety measures put in place to ensure a quality and safe product.  We had no idea just how much dog food is being produced in this country but when you think about the capacity of just one plant it’s mind boggling. Make sure to check out https://nextlevelpetfood.com/ for information on their products and if you want to check out the videos Buddy is referring to check out next level super premium pet food on facebook.

 Hunting in the U.S. has become increasingly challenging due to various factors, including stricter regulations, diminishing wildlife populations, and the anti-hunting advocates trying to disregard the North American wildlife model over emotions and feelings. Seth Watts is a well-known and accomplished bear hunter from Northern California. Seth tells us about some things going on with the bear management plan in CA. He also believes hounds are the best way to manage bear and tells us a cool story or two. Black bear Pursuit - FBBlack_bear_pursuit - IGBlackbearpursuit.comFollow our Sponsors:OnX Southern Hound Hunting MagazineDouble U Hunting SupplySubscribe: to the best mapping app on the market by using promo code - K920Join: us on the most thrilling fair chase hunt possible at Southern Hound Hunting Magazine.

When your dad’s the most successful Treeing Walker breeder in recent history with major money wins, World Championships and Hall of Fame inductions at every turn, it would appear that sharing the big stage, the limelight if you will, would be a long time coming in the shadow of dad Randy’s success.  When you have the attitude, work ethic and the respect for the game of a seventeen-year old Troy Smith, being recognized for your own achievements seems as natural as summer rain.In this episode, Steve heads up to western Pennsylvania to hunt with Troy and Randy and to record Troy’s story.  The trip entailed two nights of hunting with a pair of Lone Pine yearlings, Lone Pine Phara at seventeen months and Lone Pine Phalse Profit at fourteen months.  A total of nine raccoons were seen on as many trees on the two-night hunt.  The second night was a short one as Steve respected the early departure time for his homebound flight.This recording is worth your time for a number of reasons, especially if there are young hunters in your family or circle of friends.   It presents the opportunity to view the sport and what it holds for young ones that indeed will inherit it and carry it forward.  Refreshing is the word that comes to mind.   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?
