Hound Dog Network - Gone to the Dogs: Lifetime of Memories May 12, 2025

Show notes

In this episode Steve sits down with his best buddies Nubbin Moore to talk about, among several life-changing subjects, Nubbin’s recent election to honored lifetime membership status with the American Black and Tan Coonhound Association. The ABTCHA memberships votes one member into the exclusive group each year with the award presented the following year at Black and Tan Days. Nubbin questions his worthiness while Steve sets the record straight. Nubbin enjoys fishing as well as coon hunting and the two discuss Moore’s recent trips and successes. The conversation moves to the question, when does a coon hunter recognize it’s time to retire? Neither, by their own admission, has reached that point in the game but do discuss the possibility. Black and Tan fanciers will enjoy Nubbin’s reflections on two of his most famous Black and Tans, Hank and Zack. Each were successful on the biggest stages in coon hunting during their primes including Hank’s win overall at the 25th anniversary Autumn Oaks. When does a hunter realize he’s too old to start another pup is a question the pair wrestle with in this laid back, easy-listening podcast. The talk is as smooth as Tennessee whiskey. Have a virtual “sip” and enjoy.
