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.

The prior week’s show featuring current PKC World Championship winner Willy’s Little Ann generated quite a stir across the podcast sphere as the guests, including host Steve Fielder, allowed that Little Ann may be the best coon dog of all time.

Coon hunting entrepreneur Bruce Conkey posted his opinion of the matter on the Coon Hunting Conversations group page in social media drawing more than sixty comments in a couple of days.

In this episode Steve reviews Bruce’s contribution as well as several responses.  He then brings guest Dillon Orr to the mic to discuss the comment he posted. Florida coon hunter Mack Britt weighs in with thoughts the different types of coon dogs and the age old saw, which was better, then or now?  What determines a hunter’s preference in the type of dog he or she hunts becomes the anchor for a great conversation with a 30-minute bonus because the discussion is so darned good.  It’s truly dog talk at its finest.
