Hound PodCast: Double U Hunting Supply

This week we have a great episode with Brett Vaughn that starts  off with Brett's eyewhitness account of a lion picking its scent up and how the dogs reacted.  We all speculate what happens out there when the dogs make a loose, but its not often you actually get to watch it happen.  For the meat and potatoes of this episode Brett is joined by good friends and fellow dry ground lion hunters Jim Buh...

Audible books, for many, are replacing hardcopy for many reasons but mainly for convenience.  Hunters particularly enjoy the ability to listen while logging windshield time to and from the hunt.  Testing the waters so to speak, Steve has chosen to read an essay from his book titled Time Travel.  The piece spotlights Steve’s physical journey to the land of 1950’s author and self-proclaimed “perfect...

Jim Meeks was, at his peak, known as one of the hardest hunters in the sport of raccoon hunting. He is most noted for his association with the Yadkin River strain of Treeing Walkers.  He takes no credit for naming the strain but no man has hunted and promoted more of the famous dogs from the line.  Hounds like Yadkin River Tom, Jeff, Champ, Chico, and Tar Rattler lace his conversations like rawhid...

Buddy would love to just go hunting and not have to worry about testing equipment, but after the last results kept him awake thinking about what could be the reasons behind the data, he just couldn't help himself.  Buddy hit the woods again and changed some things around.  We did not want to give the advantage to one or the other so we swapped units and the placement of antennas to make sure thing...

Today we get to hear the rest of the story as Buddy was able to get out and do some testing of the Triple Mag Mount Ground Plane Antenna and the Browning Magnet Mount Antenna.  Buddy Jason and James take a look at the data and break it down.  So if you have been following the all the antenna talk lately, the results are in.  Make sure to check out our youtube video to follow along!  If you want to...

This episode could be likened to a fur trapper’s rendezvous as Steve brings the dynamic trio of Daniel Felker, Ryan James and Dustin Faukner to the table in an end-of-day session that results in word-rasslin’ and yarn spinning and an hour and a half of mayhem and monkey business.  The trio, a virtual Larry, Larry and Darrell combo of wit and wackiness, search out little furry forest animals, dogme...

Today Buddy and Jason get to catch up on a little "shop talk".  Buddy talks about the common factor in collars catching fire, how to detect a bad battery, tips/tricks and more.

The subject of the day is the phenomenal popularity of Burchell Davis’ Rosedale Phrogger, a four-year-old Treeing Walker with an impressive competition resume and a mouth that’s drawing coon hunters to the hound like mosquitos to a good dose of bug dope.   The impressive part of the Phrogger story is the hound’s habit, on a consistent basis, of passing his coon-treeing ability and his indescribabl...

The conversation involves coon hunting and has just enough canine nutrition and puppy rearing to quality the effort as time well spent.  Some listeners require useful information in their choices of podcasts.  For most, the conversation will qualify as an hour and half of typical dog talk by three guys with a combined history of 180 years of following hounds and a passion that has only grown stron...

The account of Mark’s recent successful black bear hunt with hounds is a pretty cool listen as he describes the hunt turning western, putting him smack dab in the middle of a man-to-bruin smack-down.  Let’s just say the 350-pounder turns the tables on Mark and the pack forcing our buddy to reach deep into his bag of woods-savvy and courage to stop the bear from reeking  havoc on the pack.  Yee haw...
