GONE TO THE DOGS with MARC GILMORE

Who’s winning $100,000 in cash or a $40,000 side-by-side in coonhound competition these days? If you said "Marc Gilmore of Streetman, Tex.," the guest for this podcast, you would be absolutely right. And you would probably also know that those amazing wins are just a few of the final four and better finishes this Texas coon hunter has assembled over the last year; wins at the Lone Star 5000, the Black Eyed Pea Classic and the PKC Texas State Championship to name a few . Steve and Marc discuss the differences in competition and pleasure hunting, Marc’s views on the importance of hunting a competition hound through the week leading up to the hunt, and break down the amazing hound that did the heavy work of treeing coons, lots of them, nearly every time Gilmore unsnaps the leash. Backwoods Sliding Clyde is the hound Marc has chosen to take to the big events and four-year-old Treeing Walker doesn’t disappoint. You will learn all about one of the sport’s winningest hounds and about the man that makes the calls in this very entertaining episode.

This episode represents a Texas-style homecoming for host Steve Fielder as he reunites with longtime friend Ray Dismukes of McDade, Texas. Dismukes, fresh off a major win at the UKC Texas State Championship, joins Steve to talk all things coon hunting, Texas style. Fielder and Dismukes are contemporaries, having been born less than a month apart in 1946. They met at the UKC American Heritage Hunt in 1992 and took a hunt together at that hunt that’s part of the conversation. Dismukes has remained active in the sport despite being 78 years old, an age when most coon hunters have hung up the leashes for good. Dismukes shares his ideas on pup training, describes his young Texas State Champion English dog he calls Sandhills Jack of Diamonds, and gives an account of the hunt, his first Texas State win despite hunt the event for many years. Ray is one of the most-respected coon hunters among the legions of them over the years in the Lone Star State. Ray’s passion and pleasing demeanor make this an enjoyable listen for anyone, young or not so young, that loves the sound of the hounds. Vintage coon hunting conversation in a podcast that will listened to by many, again and again.

This episode aired before the death of one of coon hunting's most successful and most colorful ambassadors. I hope you enjoy this replay from November of 2022.  This episode takes us to the Ozark Mountains of Missouri and Arkansas to visit with coon hunting legend Junior Lasseter.  At 73 years of age, Junior had amazing recall of events that led him from the Ozark hills to the major stages of competitive coon hunting, in the woods and on the bench. At one time in coon hunting history, there were many commercial coonhound and combination dog kennels operating out of the Ozarks.  Ads appeared in the classified sections of not only the tree dog publications but in major outdoor magazines as well.  Writers like Wilson Rawls created a narrative that the Ozarks were the cradle of coon hunting in America.  Lasseter’s stories emanate from the same root and place him as the perfect visitant to the Gone To The Dogs microphone. Lasseter has owned National Champions on the bench in both the UKC, PKC and ACHA registries and has a final four appearance in the UKC World Championship to his credit.  He’s the first, and perhaps only handler to win a pickup truck showing hounds.  Lasseter’s hounds like Table Rock Flying Hawk, Table Rock Mundo, Jr., Biggerstaff’s Little Buck, and Morgan’s Tree Jamming Mundar fill the conversations in this episode.  Lasseter was known far and wide in the 80’s when Steve began his career at the UKC registry.This episode is smothered with Ozark flavor, like cathead biscuits under a blanket of fried squirrel gravy. You’ll enjoy Junior’s stories.  You’ll want to follow them to the source, and you will, where mountain music echoes off the ridges and swells up from the cold stream hollers of tree dog country. It’s all right here so, enjoy!
