Fred Moran, a frequent guest to the Gone To The Dogs podcast, is eighty-seven years old.  The remarkable octogenarian coon hunter continues to hunt raccoons regularly with his beloved Redbones at an age well past the point most coon hunters have retired from the game.  Not only is Moran still hunting, he continues the pursuit of good hounds wherever they may be found.  In this episode he discusses going to Mississippi to try a new hound.   This is a vintage Fred Moran conversation that listeners have come to appreciate over the life of this podcast.  Enjoy. 

Georgia's Peach State Shootout winner Gregory Mitchell joins his father Greg Mitchell and event founder Caden Riley to discuss Gregory's recent success in capturing the prestigious year-long coonhound series designed exclusively for youth hunters.Riley was a guest in June of this year to discuss the event already in progress.   Barely out of the youth competition age group himself, Riley is the architect of the event which consisted of eight qualifying events across the State of Georgia with successful cast winners vying for one of the Top Nine spots in the final.Listeners get the full account of the event from both the management and participant's perspective.  This is big league youth hunting at its finest and the listener will realize it from the opening bell until the final tree is scored.  Enjoy.  

Steve's guest is Tennessean T. L. Jones. Many of Jones' friends know him as Tracey. Tracey is a third-generation houndsman and bear hunter. He is also an ordained Baptist minister and a newly-published author. He appears as our guest in this episode because he is a great speaker and an altogether interesting fellow on many subjects. Tracey has written a unique book titled The Old Men. Born in 1970 in East Tennessee, much of his boyhood was spent in the company of old men, farming, hunting, fishing and as he puts it, “loafering” in the Appalachian Mountains. Jones' book consists of eighty-four essays representing conversations with the old men of his experience that help boys become men. Steve and Tracey are longtime friends. They share a love for the Plott Hound and much of the conversation in this episode centers upon their experiences with the special old houndsmen in their lives. For Steve, it's the many years he hunted with his dad. For Jones, the experiences with his dad and his grandfather continue to inspire his pastoral work and his writing. Each attribute their attitudes and accomplishments to the good sense to listen to the old men. Whether you are young or old, you are bound to find something to enjoy in this unique episode.

Where did the Leopard Dog come from? That is a question we may never know the answer to.  Were Leopard Dogs and Plotts crossed? While opinions differ, today's author proposes that is exactly what happened.  On the quest to make the best bear dogs in the land, there are lots of twist and turns.  But to sculpt a masterpiece a sculptor must use a combination of the finest materials and the highest quality of tools.  Building a bear dog is no different.  It takes the keen eye of the sculptor to seek out the greatest raw material and then work his magic. Did Henry Plott have the same vision in mind for the Plott dogs? Did Henry Plott see the Leopard dogs as a vital piece of the Plott hounds we know and love today? Listen up ladies and gentlemen, class is in session. A special thank you to Next Level Dog food for supporting the Full Cry Magazine.  https://nextlevelpetfood.com/You can download classic issues and subscribe to the all-new Full Cry Magazine at https://www.fullcrymag.com/products/new-subscription-usahttps://www.fullcrymag.com/collections/allhttps://issuu.com/fullcry/stacks We would like to thank those who support this podcast.

James Oliver Laws provides many alternatives to the heretofore accepted accounts of the development of the Plott Hound in North Carolina.  Recorded with rudimentary equipment on the front porch of James Law's home by Stewart Biesecker at Steve's request, the interviews are a step back in time, illuminated by the amazing recollections of the story's teller, Mr. Laws.If you enjoy history and especially Plott Hound history, you are in for a treat.  The stories, some humorous, some eye-opening, and some perhaps blasphemous to those convinced of the accuracy of former accounts, will certainly be informative and no doubt entertaining.   With rockers squeaking on rough-sewn boards and traffic passing on the highway out yonder, you are fixin' to sit a spell with an eye-witness to Plott dog history in this exclusive interview.  Enjoy.

This week on Bear Grease, your host Clay Newcomb, brings you this second part in our series on Plott Hounds and how they've been interwoven into the lives of the Appalachian people. Developed in isolation deep in the Great Smoky Mountains, the Plott breed was tailor made for the rugged landscape, its people, its bears. The folks who've dedicated big blocks of their life to this bear hound are called Plott Men and Women. If you cut them they bleed brindle and in the very niche hound world, some rise to the top as Plott Royalty - and one such man is the late Barry Tarlteton of Greenville, Tennessee. His life will give us a much bigger vista than just dogs, but a rare, authentic peak into Appalachia, its culture, its people, and ways. It will be told to us both first person through an archival interview of Berry and also through the collective voices of his grandson and great-grandson, Tracy and Ben Jones. Berry started the Houston Valley strain of Plotts, he's in the Plott Hall of Fame, the Tennessee Bear Hunters Hall of fame. He was also a legendary lawman who took up a badge and gun in the name of family honor and spent decades chasing down and busting moonshiners in East Tennessee. The stories are as wild as these mountains themselves including car bombing, shoot outs, and being bushwhacked with a Tommy gun. You're about to see that Plott Hounds are just part of the plot.

On this week's episode of the Bear Grease Render, your host Clay Newcomb is joined by Isaac Neale, Gary “Believer” Newcomb, Brent Reaves of “This Country Life,” Michael Rosmond of Sunspot Lights, and Chris Powell of Houndsman XP. Topics discussed include Brent's horse “Ken's Reward,” sunspot lights and the superiority of Coon Hunting lights, the Colorado ballot initiative to ban Mountain Lion, Bobcat, and Lynx with hounds, as well as the previous Bear Grease episode “Pure Americana: The Plott Hound, Origin Story.” We really doubt you're going to want to miss this one… Connect with Clay and MeatEater Clay on Instagram MeatEater on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube Shop Bear Grease MerchSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this week's episode of Bear Grease, your host, Clay Newcomb, is bringing you the saga of the American Plott Hound - a story not without drama. Plotts are a breed of big game hound specializing in bear hunting. They were originally bred deep in the mountains of Southern Appalachia, specifically Haywood County, North Carolina. The breed, which carries the family name of Plott, was kept in isolation for nearly 150 years while being refined by the frontier mountaineers of Appalachia. The Plott Hound is anything but mainstream, but in his extensive travels to meet Plott Hound men and women, Clay has met some of the finest, salt-of-the-earth people in America. This is a fascinating story of true Americana and we really doubt you're going to want to miss this one… Connect with Clay and MeatEater Clay on Instagram MeatEater on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube Shop Bear Grease MerchSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Plott-Tober fest is a new festival set to take place in Canton in 2023. This festival celebrates North Carolina's State Dog, the Plott Hound, as well as the German heritage of Haywood County.

We talk about his plotts, his new litter of plott crosses, his border collie herding plotts, MMA, epic beards and the rewards and challenges of striving for the best results with our hounds. This is one worth listening to!

I sat down with Heath Phillips, Gary Bowen, and Katie Woodward this past weekend at the American Plott Association's Dixie Classic. We discussed some of the dilemmas and the growing pains that the association had to go through to change with the times. We also discussed how they have successfully adapted and how they plan to continue to grow. I also couldn't let them go without hearing a few good Plott Hound stories.  https://www.americanplottassociation.com/  https://www.dusupply.com/hound-hunting-organizations/all-podcast-apparel.html https://www.patreon.com/treetalkintime https://www.facebook.com/treetalkinmedia https://www.instagram.com/treetalkinmedia  

In this episode, Steve's partner Mark Miller is in the studio to discuss pup training, how he has successfully trained his Grand Nite Champion (2) Treeing Walker and how he is applying his training principles to a project he and Steve own together, an eight-month-old Plott Hound pup named Fever. Fever is a bright pup and is responding well to Mark's training regimen. Miller goes over the steps he's applied to bring Fever from a green four-month-old to a pup that has treed his own coon and split treed from the dogs at less than eight months of age.This podcast is designed to help coonhound trainers realize success when starting a well-bred pup, from weaning age to the competition stage. Newcomers as well as old hands to the game will benefit from the conversation.Enjoy.www.stevefielderbooks.comGONE TO THE DOGS PODCAST with Steve Fielderhttps://www.dusupply.com/gone-to-the-dogs-coonhunting-book.html

In this episode, Steve's hunting buddy Gordie Schroeder of Oklawaha, Florida occupies the guest chair for a good conversation on all things Plott.  Like Steve, Gordie prefers the brindle dogs and has had remarkable success in major UKC Nite Hunt competition with a Plott female named Bayou Banana.  Nana has made her presence known in the winner's circle at the Florida State Championship, the Georgia State Championship, Autumn Oaks, the UKC World Championship and as the three-night opposite-sex winner at the National Plott Hound Association's annual Plott Days.Steve and Gordie each drive fifty miles to meet at a favorite hunting spot, a privately owned ranch in central Florida.  In this episode, the friends talk about those hunts with Nana, Ole Hoss and with their longtime mutual friend Bob Frazier, a snowbird from Ohio. The Plott breed is the smallest in number of the originally-recognized UKC coonhound breeds but though small in number, the Plott fraternity is tightly-knit and doubly-proud when a Plott dog, regardless of the owner, makes the news.Having a Plott fancier as the host should warn listeners that a fair amount of Plott-related content will be aired from time to time.  This one is especially for Plott enthusiasts but will appeal to anyone that loves tree dogs and perhaps are curious about the mysterious breed coon and big game hunters know as the Plott. 

Bear sits down with Bob Plott to discuss the upcoming Plott Fest at the Meadowlark Smokey Mountain Heritage Center. Afterwards we discuss topics like, buckskin plotts, the NPHA and the APA, and how hard it is to hide genetics and how some genetics traits have a way of popping up years after the sire that introduced them has passed on into legend. Follow us on Facebook Instagram @thehuntinghound, and give us a like and follow wherever podcasts are available.

In this inaugural episode of Gone To The Dogs, Buddy and Jason interview the show's host, Steve Fielder.Fielder is revealed to be the sole owner and host of the show with DU Supply providing the platform on which the podcast will stand.  The group gets to talking dogs and presents an overview of the latest member of DU Supply's family of podcasts.   Fielder is questioned about his earliest beginnings, his dog-related journey from the mountains of West Virginia to the cornfields and swamps of Michigan, his three-step journey with three of the nation's largest and best-known dog registries, UKC, PKC and AKC, and finishes with his goals for coming episodes.  If you don't know Steve Fielder, you will enjoy this entertaining first introduction.  If you have followed Steve in his previous adventures in the podcast realm, this episode will be more of what you've come to expect and enjoy from his seemingly limitless storehouse of experiences and memories. If you want to get current updates from Steve, make sure to check out the GONE TO THE DOGS PODCAST with Steve Fielder facebook group! https://www.facebook.com/groups/1261416840966633  You can also find his book  “Gone To The Dogs - A Coon Hunter's Journey” at https://www.dusupply.com/gone-to-the-dogs-coonhunting-book.htmlhttps://www.stevefielderbooks.com  

Bear and Jason had the privilege to get Bob Plott, author, houndsman and historian, on the line. Bob is one of the foremost historians of the Plott Hound, and the balsams, gaps, and hollows of North Carolina where their legend was born. Bob describes growing up at the foot of some of the great houndsmen of a foregone generation, and what the Plott Hound means to him and to the Smokey Mountains. Bob is the Author of six books about the Great Smokey Mountains, the men that made their mark there, and the dogs they kept. We get to talking about the challenges of being a historian for family. What keeps him writing, and how he and his dogs still get stopped on the street and asked what breed they are. "We are Plotts" pretty much covers it.  This was one for the history books folks. 

The close bond between humans and dogs is undeniable. But how did our stories become so intertwined? David Ian Howe — anthropologist, archaeologist & science educator — studies the relationship between dogs and humans, and he joins us to share how dogs became domesticated. Tune in to hear how this story unfolds from the early human-wolf relationship all the way up to our modern times with hundreds of breeds of the domestic dog. Daniel also shares about his unique experiences hunting with dogs, including his own Plott Hound, Ellie.

In this podcast episode, we recall the stories of the individuals who brought about great dog breeds and how some famous breeds came to be named for individuals. The world’s beloved dog breeds are the product of careful, patient breeding by many people over many years. But, occasionally, a great breed is the product of years of painstaking work by an individual. Some of these people are fondly remembered by generations of dog fanciers. Others are forgotten and some live on through their canine namesakes. They are the hobbyists, scientists, even tax collectors whose purpose-bred dogs make the world a better place. This is a short history of how some dogs got their names. Bonafide Bits: In the early 1950s, a Doberman Pinscher named Storm won Westminster’s Best in Show, two years in a row. The Gordon Setter was among the breeds recognized when the AKC was founded in 1884. Hollywood elites Humphrey Bogart, Gary Cooper, and Cary Grant all kept Sealyham Terriers. The Dandie Dinmont Terrier is the only breed named after a fictional character. North Carolina’s state dog, the Plott Hound, was bred to be a big game hunter. Sir Edwin Landseer’s painting ‘Alpine Mastiffs Reanimating a Distressed Traveler’ hangs in the AKC Museum of the Dog. Featured Breeds: Doberman Pinscher Sleek and powerful, possessing both a magnificent physique and keen intelligence, the Doberman Pinscher is one of dogkind’s noblemen. This incomparably fearless and vigilant breed stands proudly among the world’s finest protection dogs. Discover more about Doberman Pinschers at AKC’s Doberman Pinscher Breed Biography. Manchester Terrier The Manchester Terrier is named after the English city where much of the breed’s early development took place. Sleek, racy dogs who possess a terrier’s ratting instinct and the graceful contours of coursing hounds, Manchesters are spirited, bright, and athletic. They combine the streamlined grace of a coursing hound and the instincts of a fearless rat terrier. These racy dogs come in two size varieties:  Standard (not exceeding 22 pounds) and Toy (not exceeding 12 pounds). Discover more about Manchester Terriers at AKC’s Manchester Terrier Breed Biography.

German Shepherd Dog There are many reasons why German Shepherd Dogs stand in the front rank of canine royalty, but experts say their defining attribute is character: loyalty, courage, confidence, the ability to learn commands for many tasks, and the willingness to put their life on the line in defense of loved ones. German Shepherd Dogs will be gentle family pets and steadfast guardians, but, the breed standard says, there’s a “certain aloofness that does not lend itself to immediate and indiscriminate friendships.” Discover more about German Shepherd Dogs at AKC’s German Shepherd Dog Breed Biography.

This week we have Jake from Bridge To Home Animal Rescue! Jake is a three-year-old, neutered male, Plott Hound mix who weighs approx. 60 pounds. With his gorgeous markings, it's hard not to stare at Jake. Jake is a healthy and happy dog who is appreciative of his second chance. In foster care we've learned that he does well with other dogs and cats. He is currently not living with any young children, but the rescue can test him if the right applicant comes along. So what does the ideal home look like for Jake? Jake is a pretty active dog that would enjoy a lot of outdoor adventures. He loves dogs and we think having a playmate will make him feel comfortable in his new home, as well as have a playmate to burn out some energy. All Jake wants in life is to find some stability and be a perfect companion for a family that will love him to pieces. Want to meet Jake? Please fill out an application which is found on Bridge to Home Animal Rescue's website, ‪www.bridgetohome84.org‬ See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.

On today's show Laurie pointed out how people stop learning new things as adults and why it's necessary to be open minded to successfully train your pet. A caller had an issue with a golden retriever who didn't listen well when excited and needed some suggestions about how to handle greetings at the door. The next caller wanted to convince Laurie that Labradors and Golden Retrievers were just too excitable to be trained and should just be loved and allowed to be uncontrollable . Laurie adamantly disagreed. Laurie recommended a product called SSCat to keep a cat off the counter. Another caller with a rescue Plott Hound wanted advice on handling his dog's random barking. The owner of 3 Bengal cats wanted help with the oldest urinating on a living room chair. A friend and fellow trainer called to partially agree with the premise that retriever breeds can be hard to train, and the last caller had used Laurie's help many years ago and wanted to share his positive experiences.
