Hound Dog Network - Gone To The Dogs: 300 years
11/08/2025 Duración: 01h14minEach of the four players in this episode have hunted coons for sixty years or more. Their combined age of 297 autumns is nearly 300 years and each year now. They gather to follow hounds in the big woods of the Arkansas delta. At the heart of their annual hunt is the endless discussion at mealtimes and around the camp when hounds are fed and watered and beverages poured, of the memories of bygone hounds or hunters gone on to their rewards that continue into the wee, small hours, only to be rejoined over steaming cups of coffee and heaping plates at the breaking of each new day. These are the coon hunting conversations that form the foundation of the experience that continues to motivate these men to come year after year to the White River Refuge. Join Nubbin Moore, Morris Hardy, Randy Smith and Steve as they talk dogs and all things coon hunting in this, the last Gone To The Dogs podcast of the 2021 year. Happy New Year!We would like to thank those who support this podcast. Special thanks to Alpha Dog Nutriti
