When the talk is about English Coonhounds the name Bates is spoken with the same level of recognition and reverence as Petty in NASCAR or Griffey in baseball. Ed Bates, at 83 years old is still playing the coonhound game thanks to the family link to his son Scott, now 60. Scott has followed in his famous father's footsteps from a very young age. We join Ed and Scott to discuss their beginnings and that of the Hardtime English dogs for which they have been famous through the years. The discussion covers their beginnings in the sport, their competition and stud dog success with hounds like Red Bird, Hardtime Speck, Bates' Blue Cash, Meeks John, Hardtime Spider among their historic hounds and current standouts, The Dixie Chick and The Tennessee Stud. This a podcast for the purists in the coon hunter ranks that have been there, done that for a very long time but it will also resonate with beginners that love the sport's history and aspire to make a name in the sport themselves, notoriety that will hopefully propel them to the top tier of the sport as the Bates family has done.  This is the 350th th episode in Steve Fielder's podcasting career and will most likely be the last. But don't be surprised if another SPECIAL EPISODE shows up from time to time.

This week's episode recaps a stretch of hard-earned lessons in the outdoors—from finally breaking a tough streak on the river, to a close but unsuccessful opening day in the turkey woods, to working through the ups and downs of training a young hound.

Good handlers know when to step in. Great handlers know when to stay quiet. In this episode, we break down one of the biggest mistakes handlers make—overhandling. When do you step in, and when do you step back?

Sometimes it only takes an hour down the road to feel like you've stepped into a different world. In this episode, I talk about a recent trip back to where I grew up—spending time fishing, reconnecting with old friends, and being reminded of what “home” really means. Not just a place you live, but a place that shaped you. That trip sparked a deeper thought—about hounds, and how even the best dogs operate differently when they're back on familiar ground. There's a lesson in that for all of us.   IG - heathhyatt147 FB Heath Hyatt Youtube - Heath Hyatt      Follow our Sponsors: Inukshuk  Darkenergy OnX  Double U Hunting Supply Quick-track.com Muddy River Transport    Inukshuk: Inukshukpro.com Corey.ca   Darkenergy:  best-charging banks on market.

There's a different kind of bond between a handler and a police K9—one built on long hours, shared risk, and a level of trust you don't fully understand until you've lived it. In this episode, we're not talking about deployments or war stories. We're talking about the lessons that stick with you long after the dog retires. How our dogs can read us before you even make a move. How they pick up on things you don't realize you're showing. And how learning from that kind of awareness can make you better—not just as a handler, but as a hunter, trainer, and person. Because if you pay attention, those dogs will teach you more than you ever taught them.   IG - heathhyatt147 FB Heath Hyatt Youtube - Heath Hyatt      Follow our Sponsors: Inukshuk  Darkenergy OnX  Double U Hunting Supply Quick-track.com Muddy River Transport    Inukshuk: Inukshukpro.com Corey.ca   Darkenergy:  best-charging banks on market.

This episode features the owners of the current PKC World Coonhound Champion Willy's Little Ann.  Fresh off her latest in an amazing string of major wins including the UKC World Championship and the Tournament of Champions, Little Ann is writing a chapter in the coonhound record book that may never be duplicated. In this episode John Strickland, Ashley Oxendine and Randy Smith, three of the four partners that own the reining world champion in two major registries, join Steve to tell Ann's story to our listeners. Partnerships in the dog world are rarely successful and often are more of a business deal than a friendship.  Not so with these guys.  Each tells their personal versions of Ann's story and illustrates that partners can be successful and have a close personal relationship at the same time.  These guys care about their hound and they care each about the other and it shows. This is a don't miss listen and easily makes the list of best efforts by the Gone To The Dogs Podcasts to date.  See if you don't agree.  We would like to thank those who support this podcast.  Special thanks to Double U Hunting Supply for sponsoring this episode.   www.dusupply.com https://www.youtube.com/@DoubleUHuntingSupply/podcasts Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The season may be over, but the work of becoming a better houndsman is just beginning. In this episode, we take a hard, honest look at post-season evaluation—what your hounds actually showed you this year versus what you hoped they were doing. Every race, every loss, every cold trail tells a story. The hunters who improve year after year are the ones willing to sit on the tailgate after the season and ask the tough questions. We break down how to evaluate your pack honestly, what traits you should be looking for, and how those observations should guide your off-season training plans. Spring isn't just the end of hunting—it's the beginning of building better hounds.   IG - heathhyatt147 FB Heath Hyatt Youtube - Heath Hyatt      Follow our Sponsors: Inukshuk  Darkenergy OnX  Double U Hunting Supply Quick-track.com Muddy River Transport    Inukshuk: Inukshukpro.com Corey.ca   Darkenergy:  best-charging banks on market.
