The boys engage in the usual “dog talk at its finest” in the opening minutes of the episode before cracking the lid on a can of mayhem and confusion centered on the age old “just who gives you the right” challenge. Triggered somewhat by comments on recent social media, Corey opens a discussion about who gets to decide what quality is in a given breed of hounds? And, beyond that, who has the authority to call the shots when it comes to breeding quality dogs? Does simply owning a great dog make th...

Today’s story is one of a hunter’s widow who decided to get out there herself. Just because her husband was at work didn’t mean the dog couldn’t get some work. With the company of her father, a good dog and the six shells her husband gave her she headed to the woods. Turns out 6 shells were not enough so her father digs through the vehicle and finds a box of deer slugs. In his attempt to “graze” Mr. coon he managed to waste a whole box of slugs. As bad as this may sound in todays world, imagine ...

We’re taking about cheating. When Steve was with the registries he dealt with it on a fairly frequent basis. Determined to keep coon hunting in a positive light, he rarely wrote publicly about the subject, choosing to let the system deal with perpetrators behind the scenes. Now, unburdened by what was before, he and Corey spotlight the pencil crooks, the blind voters, the dog pitchers and catchers, and the movers and switchers in a sport that was built, and owes its very survival to the premise ...

The men responsible for the beginning of lion studies, stocking zoo’s and even capturing the big cats that crossed the Hollywood screen. This article is all about the feeling of success when yo...

Where did the Leopard Dog come from? That is a question we may never know the answer to. Were Leopard Dogs and Plotts crossed? While opinions differ, today’s author proposes that is exactly what happened. On the quest to make the best bear dogs in the land, there are lots of twist and turns. But to sculpt a masterpiece a sculptor must use a combination of the finest materials and the highest quality of tools. Building a bear dog is no different. It takes the keen eye of the sculptor to seek out ...
