    Hound Dog Network - Bloodlines by Design: Big Game vs. Competition Hounds

    We talk about the older line of coon hounds that have brought my pack up to where it is today. How do we look at breeding moving forward with today's competition style dogs? Do we breed that into our big game hound and does it change the style of hound we produce?    IG - heathhyatt147 FB Heath Hyatt Youtube - Heath Hyatt  Send your stories or questions to:  creeksidechroniclespodcast@gmail.com 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 - ED And Scott Bates

    When the talk is about English Coonhounds the name Bates is spoken with the same level of recognition and reverence as Petty in NASCAR or Griffey in baseball. Ed Bates, at 83 years old is still playing the coonhound game thanks to the family link to his son Scott, now 60. Scott has followed in his famous father’s footsteps from a very young age. We join Ed and Scott to discuss their beginnings and that of the Hardtime English dogs for which they have been famous through the years. The discussion covers their beginnings in the sport, their competition and stud dog success with hounds like Red Bird, Hardtime Speck, Bates’ Blue Cash, Meeks John, Hardtime Spider among their historic hounds and current standouts, The Dixie Chick and The Tennessee Stud. This a podcast for the purists in the coon hunter ranks that have been there, done that for a very long time but it will also resonate with beginners that love the sport’s history and aspire to make a name in the sport themselves, notoriety that will hopefully propel them to the top tier of the sport as the Bates family has done.  This is the 350th th episode in Steve Fielder’s podcasting career and will most likely be the last. But don’t be surprised if another SPECIAL EPISODE shows up from time to time.
