    Hound Dog Network - The Tailgate Test: What Your Hounds Really Did This Season

    The season may be over, but the work of becoming a better houndsman is just beginning. In this episode, we take a hard, honest look at post-season evaluation—what your hounds actually showed you this year versus what you hoped they were doing. Every race, every loss, every cold trail tells a story. The hunters who improve year after year are the ones willing to sit on the tailgate after the season and ask the tough questions. We break down how to evaluate your pack honestly, what traits you should be looking for, and how those observations should guide your off-season training plans. Spring isn’t just the end of hunting—it’s the beginning of building better hounds.   IG - heathhyatt147 FB Heath Hyatt Youtube - Heath Hyatt      Follow our Sponsors: Inukshuk  Darkenergy OnX  Double U Hunting Supply Quick-track.com Muddy River Transport    Inukshuk: Inukshukpro.com Corey.ca   Darkenergy:  best-charging banks on market.

    Hound Dog Network - Of Hounds and Horses

    This week Steve dons his racing silks and takes the listener to 800-horse two-year old thoroughbred sale in Ocala, Florida for a day of education and inspiration.   Rarely does he do anything that doesn’t bring him full circle to his world of working dogs. The world of coon hunting, especially concerning the animals that are central to the sport, has many parallels to the horse-racing game. We extoll the value of breeding and proof of ancestry through pedigrees for dogs and horses, we value reproduction success and keep records of performance of the offspring by listing wins, earnings and titles on registration documents.   But, rounding the clubhouse turn and heading home, the ponies stretch out the lead in terms of providing the information and vehicle to move the top-performers into the winner’s circle. With thoroughbred racing, breeders, trainers and owners are privy to a plethora of information in print and online that coonhound enthusiasts can only dream about..  Steve’s visit to a sale of national prominence held in an unrivaled venue allows him to fantasize about the possibilities of the same type of program for coonhounds and ends with the question, “Who is the best coonhound trainer in the world?”    We would like to thank those who support this podcast.  Special thanks to Double U Hunting Supply for sponsoring this episode.   www.dusupply.com https://www.youtube.com/@DoubleUHuntingSupply/podcasts Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
