In this week's episode I am joined by retired Pennsylvania game warden Rod Burns. Rod was a long time coon hunter that became a game warden later in life. The job took him away from his passion of running hounds but when retirement came around he was quick to get a pair of pups and pick up right where he left off. In this episode we talk about a few of Rod's wildest and most memorable moments on the job, as well as the differences in coonhunting from when he stopped to recently picking back up. Towards the end of our conversation we speak about the recent political battle we just had here in PA. Luckily we were able to get our point across to a handful of Senators but this is just a warning that we need to be organized and prepared for these types of attacks.  Sponsors: https://conkeysoutdoors.com  Promo Code TREETALKINTIME5 https://www.stonecreekhounds.com Promo Code TREETALKINTIME5 https://fullcrymag.com Merch: https://treetalkin.com/collections  Social Media: https://www.patreon.com/treetalkintime https://www.instagram.com/treetalkinmedia https://www.facebook.com/treetalkinmedia

In this week's episode I am joined by father/son duo Greg and Josiah Pulling. Greg and his brother Jim were on the podcast a few years ago. Once again I caught up with them at the Great American Outdoor Show to record this episode. On the way to the show I was listening to Bear Siragusa's podcast The Hunting Hound as he talked about being a father and a houndsman. This made me want to get the input of this father/son duo on the matter. I thought Greg being an accomplished houndsman and Josiah being a budding houndsman that has been immersed in this way of life since he was only in diapers would both have a good perspective on the matter.   Sponsors: https://conkeysoutdoors.com  Promo Code TREETALKINTIME5 https://fullcrymag.com Merch: https://treetalkin.com/collections  Social Media: https://www.patreon.com/treetalkintime https://www.instagram.com/treetalkinmedia https://www.facebook.com/treetalkinmedia
