    Firsts

    Every houndsman remembers his first. Your first dog. The first time you heard a hound open on a track.The first time you followed that voice through the dark.The first time you walked up to a tree with the game in it.The first dog that really meant something to you. But some of the best firsts come later. The first time your son or daughter hears a hound open.The first time they grab the lead.The first time they walk into a tree and realize what this life is all about. Those are the moments that stick with us.   IG - heathhyatt147 FB Heath Hyatt Youtube - Heath Hyatt    Send your stories or questions to:  creeksidechroniclespodcast@gmail.com   Follow our Sponsors: Inukshuk  Double U Hunting Supply Muddy River Transport  Darkenergy OnX    Inukshuk: Inukshukpro.com Corey.ca  Darkenergy:  best-charging banks on market.

    The Morning Of The Switch

    Sometimes a race doesn’t go according to plan—and sometimes it's an even bigger surprise at the end. In this episode, we take a look back on a race when the hounds made a switch in mid-race, something we never knew about until just before dark when we corralled a giant in the rocks.  It’s the kind of chase that reminds you why these moments stick with you: the chase, the instincts, the adrenaline, and the surprise waiting at the end. What started as one race quickly turned into a story worth telling—and a memory that takes you right back to being there.

    Nine Finger Chronicles - Pheasant Dogs & Family Traditions

    Pheasant hunting gets a whole lot better when you learn how a father-son crew turned South Dakota bird camp into a 30-year tradition, and why the best hunting stories sometimes start with World Series tickets. Brandon Marcourt breaks down the kind of upland and waterfowl setup most hunters only dream about, from wild pheasants and pothole ducks to the dogs, land access, and family rituals that keep the whole thing running. Dan Johnson and Brandon trade stories about getting ready for youth season, the pull of cool August mornings, and what it means to finally have the gear, cameras, bow, and stands ready to go. But the real hook is Brandon's story about his dad and a buddy swapping Minnesota Twins World Series tickets for hunting permission in South Dakota, a deal that led to years of pheasant hunts, new land access, and a hunting tradition that has lasted decades. You'll discover: How Brandon's crew built a reliable pheasant and waterfowl routine across multiple South Dakota trips each year Why hard winters, iced-over grass, and a bad hatch can make or break pheasant numbers What it takes to train a Labrador to hunt both pheasants and ducks, and why a fully trained bird dog is worth the investment How experienced dogs like Finn learn to read birds, scent, and wind with less input over time Why Brandon believes the best hunting memories now come from watching his kids and dogs work birds together Brandon also shares what it costs to buy and train a real hunting dog, how he handles different commands in the field, and why pheasant hunting offers a completely different kind of challenge than deer hunting. If you've ever wondered what makes bird camp addictive, how family hunting traditions get built, or why upland hunting becomes more appealing as the years go by, this one will hit home. Perfect for deer hunters, bird hunters, dog lovers, and anyone who misses that first fall chill and feels the season calling. If you love hearing how hunting traditions get passed down and why the dog is often the heart of the hunt, hit play. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    When To Call It A Day: Enough Is Enough

    How do you know when it’s time to call it a day? After multiple dumps, long hours in the woods, and one blown track after another ending without success, every hound hunter eventually faces that decision. In this episode, we talk about the reality of tough hunts—the frustration, the exhaustion, and the temptation to keep pushing when the woods just aren’t giving it up. Sometimes the best decision isn’t another drop; it’s loading the dogs, heading home, and living to hunt another night.

    Heat, Hustle & No Hunting

    This episode is all about the reality of trying to balance work, the summer heat, and the hunting season you’ve been looking forward to all year. Sometimes the grind doesn’t just make hunting harder—it takes opportunities completely off the table. We talk about how work schedules and brutal heat can keep you out of the woods, the frustration that comes with missing opportunities, and why you have to make the most of the time you actually do get. Then we shift gears to a little dog training. We talk about one of the most important commands you can teach any dog: the recall (“come”) command. Join us every week on Creekside Chronicles and get your weekly dose of hunting with hounds.  IG - heathhyatt147 FB Heath Hyatt Youtube - Heath Hyatt  Send your stories or questions to:  creeksidechroniclespodcast@gmail.com Follow our Sponsors: Inukshuk  Double U Hunting Supply Muddy River Transport  Darkenergy OnX  Inukshuk: Inukshukpro.com Corey.ca Darkenergy:  best-charging banks on market.

    Training Camp: Week One

    This week on the podcast, we start with a hunt that manages to hit both a frustrating low and an exciting high in less than 30 minutes. What begins with frustration turns into a breakthrough—and serves as a good reminder that sometimes the best thing you can do in the woods is slow down, pay attention, and be patient. We also dig into scenting conditions and some of the data I’ve collected over the past two years, looking at temperature, humidity, and how those conditions can influence what’s happening on a track. Rather than simply blaming or praising the dog, the goal is to understand the environment we’re asking them to work in. We end  by talking about something every hunter eventually has to learn: you’re not hunting the same dog you were last year. Next week opens Pandora's box into how your dog is changing and so are you.
