In this week's episode, Allen and Trevor are talking to the newest member of the UKC staff, Bench Show Program Manager, Danielle Champ. They'll talk about Danielle's history, background, and all the exciting changes coming to this year's Autumn Oaks...spoiler alert, it includes puppies!

In this episode Steve sits down with his best buddies Nubbin Moore to talk about, among several life-changing subjects, Nubbin's recent election to honored lifetime membership status with the American Black and Tan Coonhound Association. The ABTCHA memberships votes one member into the exclusive group each year with the award presented the following year at Black and Tan Days. Nubbin questions his worthiness while Steve sets the record straight. Nubbin enjoys fishing as well as coon hunting and the two discuss Moore's recent trips and successes. The conversation moves to the question, when does a coon hunter recognize it's time to retire? Neither, by their own admission, has reached that point in the game but do discuss the possibility. Black and Tan fanciers will enjoy Nubbin's reflections on two of his most famous Black and Tans, Hank and Zack. Each were successful on the biggest stages in coon hunting during their primes including Hank's win overall at the 25th anniversary Autumn Oaks. When does a hunter realize he's too old to start another pup is a question the pair wrestle with in this laid back, easy-listening podcast. The talk is as smooth as Tennessee whiskey.

In this week's episode, we're rerunning our most popular and most downloaded episode of all time. We're throwing it back to Ep. 67, recorded live at Autumn Oaks 2023, when Allen and Trevor sat down with very special guest Steve Fielder to discuss the history of UKC Nite Hunts. This is a fantastic episode that any student of the coonhound game should absolutely listen to!   Follow Us on Social! www.facebook.com/UKCHuntingOpsPodcast https://www.facebook.com/UKCcoonhounds www.instagram.com/ukchuntingops https://www.youtube.com/@ukcdogs   Check Out Our Sponsors: www.eukanubasportingdog.com

This is an episode that offers a chance for listeners to unwind, to lay aside the stresses of world news and events and to get in touch with their inner houndsman. Steve describes it as “getting at the heart of the reason I follow hounds and enjoy the houndsman lifestyle.”Recorded at a coon hunting camp in southeastern Alabama in February, Steve and longtime friend and fellow houndsman Arnold “Nubbin” Moore drill down into the reasons they enjoy the many aspects of hunting with hounds by recounting their experiences. The episode contains a wide range of subjects including White River coon hunting stories, eating raccoons, a profile of Hank, Nubbin's Autumn Oaks-winning Black and Tan coonhound of a lifetime, a story about a coon hunting horse, tales of their roles as peace keepers at competition events and saying goodbye to a longtime hunting friend.

In this week's episode I am joined by John Saunders Sr. I met John at Autumn Oaks this past year and knew quickly into our conversation I wanted to have him on the podcast. He is a wealth of knowledge and stories but what would you expect after 50 years. John's son was on episode 58 and we talk a lot more about the squirrel dogs that they have owned in that episode. John talks about how he got started coon hunting "just by chance" and has stuck with it for 50 or maybe it's 51 years now.    Sponsors: https://conkeysoutdoors.com  Promo Code TREETALKINTIME5 https://www.stonecreekhounds.com Promo Code TREETALKINTIME15 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

Jason had a chance to meet TJ at Autumn Oaks this year so the two take a little time to catch up, talk some red dogs and about stewardship. Jason was able to walk a cast with TJ and came out with a couple good stories to tell. If you spend any amount of time with, or listening to TJ you can tell that these dogs and our sport bring a true joy to his life.  From his day job as a high school AG teacher to a Coon hunter and everything in between TJ has a calling to include and educate those willing to listen. National Redbone Coonhound Association We would like to thank those who support this podcast.  Special thanks to Alpha Dog Nutrition and Double U Hunting Supply for sponsoring this episode.  Want to learn more about Alpha Dog Nutrition?

In this week's episode I am joined by TJ Bolin. I met TJ at Autumn Oaks and breifly learned about his female redbone Penny. Penny had won her cast in the Dual Champions hunt and won the Redbone breed in the show. After having him on I learned a lot more about redbones and the people that hunt them. TJ is quick to give credit to others that have helped him along the way. He has owned, bred, and hunted some top redbones and I can't help but think that is because of how genuine he is.  Sponsors: https://conkeysoutdoors.com  Promo Code TREETALKINTIME5 https://www.stonecreekhounds.com Promo Code TREETALKINTIME15 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

When the Autumn Oaks interviews suffered a hit by unexpected electronic foes, the onsite conversation with Plott aficionado Bill Shininger and youth handler/hunter Hannah Cable had to be rescheduled after the event. What would seem to be a disappointment, lacking the on-site flavor of the crowd at Oaks, the interview turned out to be an easy-listening episode that listeners are sure to appreciate. Shininger is no newcomer to the podcast while Cable is a first-timer. The exchange runs the gamut of all things Plott dogs. Shininger is a breeder and fancier that has hitched his kennel's star to a standout stud dog named Lazarus, winner of the trifecta for Plotts with three-in-a-row victories at the prestigious Plott Days event hosted annually by the National Plott Hound Association. The name Cable is legendary in the coonhound world through the exploits of Hannah's older brother Kevin, handler and promoter of the famed Big Money-line of Treeing Walker dogs. Kevin's seventeen-year-old sister Hannah has also earned considerable acclaim but with her Plott dogs. Showing and sometimes hunting Gambler, her first Plott and Joe, brother to Shininger's stud dog Lazarus, Hannah has compiled a long list of wins, largely in Bench Show competition but not all. Shininger and Cable appear in this episode because of their demonstrated willingness to give back to the sport they love. Shininger's efforts in encouraging hunters to preserve their hounds through frozen semen and Cable's efforts to encourage and help other youth to excel in the hound sport she loves make them both worthy of your time. The inspiration and encouragement they bring is infectious.

In this week's episode I am joined by Roger Norman of Cabin Side Kennels. Roger is a coon and bear hunter from West Virginia. I have followed Roger on Instagram for a few years and reached out ahead of Autumn Oaks. Luckily he was able to make it with the whole family and I was able to get him to sit down for a few minutes. His little boy is already obsessed with dogs at only a year old and spoiler alert he ended up with the Plott puppy Roger mentioned at the end!   Sponsors: https://conkeysoutdoors.com  Promo Code TREETALKINTIME5 https://www.stonecreekhounds.com Promo Code TREETALKINTIME15 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

The podcast moves this week down Texas way, to the northeast Ark-La-Tex region for a visit with longtime coon hunter and Bluetick enthusiast Dexters Whatley. Dex has been on the podcast a couple of times in our on-the-spot interviews at major coonhound events the likes of Autumn Oaks and the UKC Winter Classic. Co-host Corey Gruver and Steve have been addressing various aspects of treeing in reference to coonhounds in previous episodes. In this podcast, Whatley joins in a discussion based on exploring the many aspects of trail or track dogs in our sport. Whatley, in his competition days was well-known for following some mighty-good Bluetick hounds and Steve is not hesitant to explore with the man that fed them, the attributes of those dogs in regard to whether or not they could be identified as good track dogs. All the aspects of what it means to be recognized as a “track dog” are explored in this episode. Dex is very knowledgeable, can be extremely humorous and speaks with an accent and with the demeanor of one that is definitely Lone Star to the bone. Enjoy.
