Hound Dog Network - SHUCKIN’ THE CORN WITH FRED BRIGHT Jan 26, 2026

Show notes

When old friends get together, the stories can’t help but be told. In the case of the pair of coon hunting friends on this podcast, the stories go back to the days when Steve and guest Fred Bright began hunting, Steve in the mountains of West Virginia and Fred in the mountains of east Tennessee. It’s been a year since Bright made his first guest appearance and he brought a whole new set of experiences to the podcast studio. The boys cover coonhounds and beagles with equal shares of recollections of hounds and hunts long since gone. Bright is a great story teller with amazing recall and his tales never disappoint. From Black and Tan Coonhounds that lost their voices to beagles that refused to compete, here’s an hour of hound talk in the best Gone To The Dogs tradition. Enjoy!

Antler Up - Preparing the Mind and Body That Carries You There Jan 21, 2026

Show notes

In Episode 306 of the Antler Up Podcast, host Jeremy Dinsmore sits down with Dr. Nick Bechtold of MTNTOUGH and Movement Physio for a powerful conversation on what it truly means to be prepared as a hunter. This episode goes beyond workouts and routines, diving into the role physical readiness plays in mental resilience, confidence, and performance when it matters most.

Drawing from his experience training hunters, military personnel, and first responders—as well as his hands-on work in physical therapy—Dr. Bechtold breaks down why consistent, intentional training is essential for longevity in the field. Together, Jeremy and Nick explore how physical preparedness sharpens decision-making under fatigue, builds mental toughness, and helps hunters show up capable rather than merely hopeful. Listeners will walk away with practical guidance on integrating smart, sustainable training into busy lives, along with a renewed perspective on preparation, mindset, and accountability. Whether you’re chasing whitetails close to home or pushing deep into the mountains, this episode will challenge you to elevate both your body and your approach to the hunt.
