  • Podcast in General

    Love to listen to this show, but so many of the podcast has no consistency in sound.

    If I can here host, I cannot hear guest. When I can hear guest speak so many times I have to turn volume up to hear host then when guest speaks is way to loud.

    So many shows I want to listen to I don’t because of this.

    Please have all talk in to the mic from same distance and at same loudness.

    Thank You for hearing me.

Talking Points

Kentucky Thunder and Snow Bound Bears
Q: What differences have you noticed in the dogs over the years you've hunted with them?
The older dogs show reliability and consistency, while the two-year-olds are still learning; the pack dynamics and training approach rely on mixing younger dogs with seasoned ones to accelerate learning and build confidence.
Gone To The Dogs - The Amazing Little Ann
Q: How did the partnership between Oxendine, Strickland, Galbraith, and Smith form?
They describe a long history of hunting and helping each other at events, sharing dogs and opportunities, and gradually formalizing their collaboration around Ann, with each member bringing a different strength and network, ultimately creating a strong, trust-based partnership.
GTTD Revisited - Larry Meeks
Q: What advice would you give to young hunters?
They should remember that the sport is still about the dogs, and teamwork and fair play are essential.
GTTD Revisited - Larry Meeks
