In this episode co-hosts Steve Fielder and Corey Gruver are joined by coon hunter, trainer and handler Mark Miller of Taylorsville, North Carolina. Miller recently completed the Holy Grail of coon hunting, the United Kennel Club Grand Nite Champion title with a Plott dog co-owned by Steve and himself, Bear Pen Fever. The trio drill down into Fever’s success story discussing the young hound’s progression from a five-month-old puppy to reaching the pinnacle in competition hunting at less than two and one-half years old. Corey leads the interview leaving few stones unturned in terms of exactly what’s involved in achieving the Grand Nite Champion and other UKC titles. Fever currently holds titles in Field Trials, Water Races, Nite Hunting, Hunt Tests and Bench Showing in UKC as well as Nite Hunting in Professional Kennel Club events. The expense, the determination, the challenges and the setbacks are all fair game. Of particular interest to listeners will be the reasons a confirmed, highly successful Treeing Walker fancier would embark on the arduous journey with a Plott of all available breeds. Steve wades the murky waters of why Plott hunters may be more prone to breed to dogs in their own backyards. You expect dog talk at its finest on the Gone To The Dogs Podcast and there’s plenty to enjoy in this episode.
This past summer Bear and his hounds avoided a natural disaster by the skin of their teeth. Hear about it and what Bear has in his hound-bug-out bag and his plan for getting the hounds out safe and sound. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
In this episode Steve and Corey put on their legislative caps and address a piece of current legislation in the State of Pennsylvania that portents big problems for the dog hunter. The bill comes under the umbrella of anti-trespass legislation and provides exorbitant penalties for hunting dogs and their owners that find themselves afoul of the provisions of the bill, whether advertently or not. The boys hash out the bill and provide information for hunters in Pennsylvania and elsewhere that want to let their voices be heard before the bill reaches the dangerous environs of the Senate floor. The conversation takes on a more pleasant vibe as the boys cover the oldest and one of the most-popular breeds of trail and tree hounds, the American Black and Tan Coonhound. The boys’ love for history is evident as they discuss early history, early founders and a long line of movers and shakers, human and canine, that have played such an important role in the breed’s seemingly timeless reign of popularity. If you like black dogs, or if you just like to look back over the many years of our tree hound sport, this is a good one for you. Them ole black dawgs!

Nick Muckerman is freelance outdoor writer, houndsman, professional bird dog trainer and school principal. Chris was browsing articles on Field Ethos https://fieldethos.com/chasing-dogs-chasing-cats/ when he came across an article about hunting mountain lions with hounds. Of course, he had to read that one. What Chris found was a fascinating, well written article that took a deeper dive into the nuances of hunting mountain lions written by Nick. The article was almost poetic and it was full of articulate details.

Tanner Herr, Ed Barnes and Cody Jenkins hunt the Rockin’ 4D Tournament with Clay Mindemann, Luke and Ty. It was an exhausting three day ordeal hunting in central Oklahoma. Despite getting away from the mountains of Northeast Oklahoma and going where it is relatively flat we still ended up in some rough hills wearing out our boot leather. We caught some good hogs but nothing big enough to put us over the edge and into the winners circle. On the drive home we recorded a run down of the hunt and ideas for future hog hunts.

Hunting is more than spending time in the woods taking in all of mother nature's wonders and pursuing our passions. You meet people along the way that end up being life long friends, some even close as family. One such person Heath met in 2000, Anthony O’Neill. It started over a phone call set up by Dale Cameron, to one of the best western big game hunters of his time. Heath and Anthony talk about how they met, dog trouble, how Anthony’s kids took their first bear with Heath and some of their most memorable hunts. They finish up with the deer hunt they were just on. Hunting is so much more than meets the eye. It’s all about the Journey we partake in.
