In this week's episode I am joined by Owen Brayson. Owen had a humble beginning with a neighborhood squirrel dog that turned into so much more many years later. Even when he went looking to get into squirrel dogs he stumbled a bit and was finally given some direction that put him on the right path. That path was a River Run Feist, and Dutchess was her name. She was the start of many successful years in the squirrel dog business. Unfortunatly Hurricane Katrina made squirrel hunting almost impossible and Owen was forced to get rid of his beloved squirrel dogs.

In this week's episode I am joined by Cody Hess. Cody hails from the great state of Texas where he pursues hogs with his pack of dogs while riding mules. Cody has been a lifelong hunter and started following hounds at an early age but didn't get into hog hunting at least seriously until he was in his 20's.

Most importantly he is passing his love of the sport down to his young son.    Sponsors: https://conkeysoutdoors.com  Promo Code TREETALKINTIME5 https://www.stonecreekhounds.com Promo Code TREETALKINTIME5 https://fullcrymag.com https://redfernsupply.com  Merch: https://treetalkin.com/collections  Social Media: https://www.patreon.com/treetalkintime https://www.instagram.com/treetalkinmedia https://www.facebook.com/treetalkinmedia

In this week's episode I am joined by Jeff Caubble. Jeff has a long history with hunting dogs but a few years ago he fell hard into the feist world. Looking for a fun way to spend time with his daughter he got back to his roots and got a feist to squirrel hunt. It wasn't long before he had another and another and now has six. He has also been heavily involved in the American Treeing Feist Association and competes regularly in their hunts. The feist have been a family affair and they themselves are family members, proving you can make a hunting dog a pet and still be successful.  Sponsors: https://conkeysoutdoors.com  Promo Code TREETALKINTIME5 https://www.stonecreekhounds.com Promo Code TREETALKINTIME5 https://fullcrymag.com Merch: https://treetalkin.com/collections  Social Media: https://www.patreon.com/treetalkintime https://www.instagram.com/treetalkinmedia https://www.facebook.com/treetalkinmedia  

This week I am joined by Joe Seaburn to talk all about Willow. Willow was Joe's first squirrel dog and they have racked up quite the list of accomplishments. This is even more impressive after you hear the story of where she came from and how it all started. This episode has been in the works for a few years as we were supposed to record it at a hunt but ran out of time. Glad to finally get Joe on the podcast.
