    Deep In The Hunt of Texas - Tracking Dogs 101 w/ Ricky Loftis

    Most hunters underestimate how critical shot placement and tissue damage are—and how they can make the difference between finding your deer or losing it forever. Ricky Loftis (litehounds on Instagram) a renowned deer tracking dog handler with over a decade of experience, pulls back the curtain on the gritty realities of tracking wounded game, revealing surprising insights you'll want to hear before your next hunt. In this episode, Ricky shares how personal hunting failures sparked his passion for tracking, including his eye-opening stories from the legendary King Ranch and firsthand lessons from gut-shot deer that challenged even his expertise. You'll discover the most reliable shot scenarios for recovery—like how shot location, broadhead choice, and angle dramatically impact your chances—and practical tips on managing blood trails, tracking in tough terrain, and recognizing signs that tell you everything about your deer’s condition. We break down specific tactics for hunting scenarios, including how weather, property size, and coyote interference influence tracking success. Ricky sheds light on common mistakes hunters make with shot angles, broadhead selection, and early race conditions, giving you actionable advice to improve your kill-to-recovery ratio. Whether you're an archery enthusiast, rifle hunter, or want to understand how an experienced tracker handles the toughest cases, this episode will elevate your knowledge and confidence.

  5. Coonhounds and Cabin Fever

    FEB 10

    Coonhounds and Cabin Fever

    Thirty-five degrees in Miami, Florida?   Headlines read “Freezing in Florida:  Artic chill reaches Sunshine State, breaking records and causing power disruptions.” Steve takes the opportunity to check on friends that are coping with the chilling effects of a Polar Vortex that is causing hunters across the country to stay by the fire. In many cases hunters are bringing in the hounds in order to cope with what has become one of the harshest winters in memory, even for octogenarian hunters like Pennsylvania’s Fred Moran, the Redbone Man who will be 89 when this podcast airs. Steve checks in on Fred and finds him in the throes of a three-week layoff from coon hunting, something he normally does nightly.  Fred sounds a little rough but the dog talk begins to flow as the friends talk about the weather, old dogs, old trucks, old friends and stories, old and new, all framed in the hope that better days are coming. This is an episode for those experiencing the effects of cabin fever on steroids the last few days.  We’re hoping the stories, the laughs and the optimism will help to cure the fever in your neck of the woods.  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 Show Contributors   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Wiley Coyote

    We’ve all had an off game race or two, but coyotes pose a challenge that requires time and effort to overcome. First we must understand why they are so captivating to our hounds. This episode compares the similarities of both races and what draws the hounds into a full blown dog race that tests the patience of a saint.  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.

    Gone To The Dogs: HOUND DOGGIN’ IN WEST VIRGINIA WITH GARY KNAPP

    Gary Knapp says he’s married to the prettiest girl in Big Scary, West Virginia.   Steve calls him the Will Rogers of the Appalachians.  Bear hunters remember him as an effective president and spokes person for the West Virginia Bear Hunter’s Association.   Part woodsman, mountaineer and houndsman, Knapp never fails to entertain with his stories and likewise, never fails to inspire with his dedication to keeping the sport of hound hunting alive for future generations. Knapp believes upcoming changes to West Virginia laws concerning hunting over bait will be detrimental to the bear population.  Steve tends to take the middle ground on the issue but the conversation is no less important to anyone that is concerned with the continuance of black bear hunting in the Mountain State as it reveals all sides of the issue. Enjoy talk from two mountain men, one in memory, the other in action, as Gone To The Dogs goes hound doggin’ with West Virginian Gary Knapp. West Virginia Bills for Your Attention HB 4688 and HB4559 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.
