Hound Dog Network - Part 1 - Into the Wild: The Chase Begins Oct 15, 2025

Show notes

I finally drew an elk tag but not in Montana like I had been putting in for, it was in Wyoming. First timers luck one would say, as this hunt unfolds there is a lot of first timers luck. If you’re into steep climbs, sudden encounters, and the raw, unfiltered adrenaline of the chase. Not just a hunt —but a high-stakes pursuit where every moment counts. Don’t miss out on this episode — it's a front-row seat to the intensity, challenge, and thrill of chasing elk deep in Wyoming’s backcountry.

Hound Dog Network - The Emotional Side of Coon Hunting Oct 13, 2025

Show notes

In this episode Steve takes an inside look at the hound sports by exploring the things that radiate from within the soul of the hunter, from the emotional side. Houndsmen may display a plethora of emotions, the usual suspects being jealousy, envy, greed along with often being overly competitive.

But there’s a soft underbelly to the sport that macho men may be reluctant to admit, much less talk about. Steve delves into feelings of pride, self-centeredness, disappointment, exhilaration, and even disgust that often comprise the houndsmen’s personality, making it difficult to form and maintain meaningful relationships with other members of the sport.

Feelings of love and adoration for hounds as well as grief when a good hound is lost come under Steve’s emotional microscope in this introspective episode.
