Hunting in the U.S. has become increasingly challenging due to various factors, including stricter regulations, diminishing wildlife populations, and the anti-hunting advocates trying to disregard the North American wildlife model over emotions and feelings. Seth Watts is a well-known and accomplished bear hunter from Northern California. Seth tells us about some things going on with the bear management plan in CA. He also believes hounds are the best way to manage bear and tells us a cool story or two.

When your dad’s the most successful Treeing Walker breeder in recent history with major money wins, World Championships and Hall of Fame inductions at every turn, it would appear that sharing the big stage, the limelight if you will, would be a long time coming in the shadow of dad Randy’s success. When you have the attitude, work ethic and the respect for the game of a seventeen-year old Troy Smith, being recognized for your own achievements seems as natural as summer rain.
In this episode, Steve heads up to western Pennsylvania to hunt with Troy and Randy and to record Troy’s story. The trip entailed two nights of hunting with a pair of Lone Pine yearlings, Lone Pine Phara at seventeen months and Lone Pine Phalse Profit at fourteen months. A total of nine raccoons were seen on as many trees on the two-night hunt. The second night was a short one as Steve respected the early departure time for his homebound flight.
This recording is worth your time for a number of reasons, especially if there are young hunters in your family or circle of friends. It presents the opportunity to view the sport and what it holds for young ones that indeed will inherit it and carry it forward. Refreshing is the word that comes to mind.

When host Steve Fielder was a young hunter attending coonhound events in Virginia and West Virginia, prior to his registry days, he often hunted with John Sturgill and Les Bolen. The duo were coon hunting buddies and were a force to be reckoned with in competition and on the numerous pleasure-hunts our host enjoyed with them in those days. Each man was noted then and now for having world class Plott Hounds.
Recently, Jamie Estep, who joins Sturgill and Bolen in this episode, designated the annual National Plott Hound Association’s West Virginia Plott Sectional the John Sturgill Tribute Hunt and Show. Sturgill was honored throughout the recent three days of hunts, shows and bear events. Estep invited Steve to judge the bench show on Friday, setting up the perfect opportunity for the friends to get together and recall old times.
This is a feel-good conversation centered upon hunting in the rugged West Virginia mountains with Plott dogs. Estep recalls Sturgill and Bolen as role models for his own career which now includes the title of Field Representative for UKC and anchor for the YouTube video coverage of the popular Tournament of Champions for coonhounds.
Steve is betting you will really enjoy this one.

No doubt Cur dogs are responsible for a lot of meat on the table and a valuable part of our hunting dog history. We hope you enjoy learning about a not so well known breed to modern hunters, but a dog that helped pave the way for treedogs.

Does a hound have more drive and stamina than a police K9. This is a question Heath gets asked all the time. Travis Legler is a 24-year Law Enforcement veteran who works for a federal land management agency. Travis is also an experienced hound hunter. Heath and Travis discuss the differences in what they see in the two types of dogs. From tracking groups crossing the border to chasing some of the most mystic creatures in North America.

There are 118 species of reptiles in Florida. The largest, the American alligator is the state reptile. The most common is the brown anole, a commonly seen lizard. Within the gauntlet of creepy, crawly things are rattlesnakes, cottonmouths and the fairly recent invasive threat, the Burmese python. Living, and hound hunting in Florida is an exercise in dealing with reptiles on a regular basis.
Florida coon hunter Mack Britt of Parrish, Florida, an unincorporated community in Manatee County near Sarasota on the west coast, began coon hunting with his dad as a boy. He was bitten by the hound dog bug at an early age and has remained true to his calling for nearly fifty years.
The reasons Mack was chosen as a guest for this podcast are manifold. First and foremost, he is a “good old boy.” I’ve never heard a disparaging word uttered about Mack among his peers within the community of Florida coon hunters. I’ve driven thousands of miles with him to PKC hunts, his hunt of choice, and have enjoyed every mile. I talk with him regularly by phone.
Secondly, Mack is a veteran coon hunter in an area the is not for the faint of heart, an area where the numbers of coon hunters has dwindled over the years. He knows Florida coons and their habitats as well as anyone and better than most. He isn’t afraid to brave the hazards of hunting alone in a jungle swamp and does so regularly. When a dog trees, his or yours, he will hack, crawl, and crash his way through palmettos, cat-claw briars and soft-bottomed, snake-infested swamps to get to the dog.
If you’re wondering what it would be like to hunt coons in Florida, here it is. It ain’t pretty, but if you are the adventurous type, there ain’t nothin’ like it!

Spring has sprung across the podcast sphere and the boys have moved the Gone To The Dogs operation to the front porch where the air is fresh and the conversation flows a little more freely.
This episode will be Corey’s last for awhile as he and his wife Kayla welcome their second child, another girl, into the Gruver household. It could happen at any time. It’s an exciting time for sure and one that will demand a little more of Corey’s attention than usual. He’ll rejoin the show as soon as things settle down a bit over there in Greenville, PA.
In this parting episode, the discussion moves to the winners of the UKC Tournament of Champions briefly before plunging headlong into the interesting realm of multi-purpose hounds. The boys explore every conceivable application of the term from competition versus pleasure dogs to targeting multi-species with the same breed and virtually everything in between. Imagine a dog that you can leave the porch and with which you can catch anything from a gray squirrel to a big ole stinking bear before the sun sets and turn around and hunt nocturnal furbearers with until the first gray streaks of dawn! Now that’s what we’re talkin’ about! Pull up a rocker. Things are finna start.

We are happy to announce Alpha Dog Nutrition as an official sponsor of the Double U Hound Podcast and a new product available at https://www.dusupply.com/alphadog. We would like to thank them for supporting our hounds, listeners and now our customers. Listen in and get to know the people behind the product and their mission to make sure our dogs have all the tools to succeed in the field for years to come.
Things have come a long way for Alpha Dog since things started in Joe’s garage. Their commitment and reputation of providing the tools our dogs need to perform at a top level has resulted in a very loyal customer base, and some very happy dogs. With a background in waterfowl hunting, both Joe and Zach know that all dogs can benefit from balanced nutrition, but after one bear hunt Zach knew that hounds were a different breed. His appreciation and respect for what our dogs do sparked a fire for hounds, bringing him back to bear camp year after year.

Tracking game with hounds takes a good hound. Tracking game without takes mad skills. Legendary tracker and Big game hunter Rick Labbe has done both. Rick has logged thousands of miles tracking deer through the north woods. He has also run hounds on coon, cat, coyotes and bear. Heath and Rick discuss topics from types of dogs to what Rick sees with animal habits while he’s tracking. This one is jam-packed with training tips, advice, and wild stories.
