The subject of the day is the phenomenal popularity of Burchell Davis’ Rosedale Phrogger, a four-year-old Treeing Walker with an impressive competition resume and a mouth that’s drawing coon hunters to the hound like mosquitos to a good dose of bug dope. The impressive part of the Phrogger story is the hound’s habit, on a consistent basis, of passing his coon-treeing ability and his indescribably loud and unique mouth on to his pups through what Steve calls the Phrogger Phenomenon. Each of the b...

The conversation involves coon hunting and has just enough canine nutrition and puppy rearing to quality the effort as time well spent. Some listeners require useful information in their choices of podcasts. For most, the conversation will qualify as an hour and half of typical dog talk by three guys with a combined history of 180 years of following hounds and a passion that has only grown stronger through the years. When you’ve gone to the dogs, it doesn’t matter how long it’s been. What really...

The account of Mark’s recent successful black bear hunt with hounds is a pretty cool listen as he describes the hunt turning western, putting him smack dab in the middle of a man-to-bruin smack-down. Let’s just say the 350-pounder turns the tables on Mark and the pack forcing our buddy to reach deep into his bag of woods-savvy and courage to stop the bear from reeking havoc on the pack. Yee haw! Kesten remanences about early hunts with some great hounds and both the boys talk about training pups...

At 73 years of age, Junior has 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.

Bear hunter Holt Collier, who was the guide for the famous “teddy bear” hunt that earned President Theodore Roosevelt his nickname, can lay claim to taking a sitting president bear hunting. That’s a distinction similar to that of our guest but not quite. Our guest Mark Israel of Smithfield, Georgia, took the 39th President of the United States coon hunting and not just once, but several times following the family friend’s term in office. Steve met Israel during his PKC days and Mark related to o...

If you ask 100 houndsmen, you usually get 100 answers. But the topic today usually only brings one of two answers with both sides being pretty set in their ways. To tone, or not to tone, that is the question. Will it kill a dog’s drive? Will it make them not want to tree? How will toning a dog off track or tree affect them down the road? The guys also go down a rabbit hole and do some talking on dogs homing abilities and following backtracks. Have your own point of view? Let us know!!! We would ...
