  • 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.

ED And Scott Bates
Q: How did Scott Bates become involved in the sport and what role did he play in continuing the family legacy?
Scott describes being raised in a hunting family, getting his own start through his father's guidance, and later partnering in hunting, breeding, and promoting dogs, which helped sustain the family's influence in PKC and UKC circuits.
ED And Scott Bates
Q: What is the significance of the Speck lineage in the broader history of English, Walker, and Blue Tick breeds?
Speck's success and his cross-registry journey highlighted the period when crossbreeding between English, Walker, and Blue Tick dogs influenced the breed lines, ultimately contributing to debates about single-breed purity versus broader registries and influencing future breeding decisions.
ED And Scott Bates
Q: How did Ed Bates first become involved in coon hunting and what catalyzed his success with Hardtime Speck?
Ed credits early mentorship and a culture of hard work, plus timely opportunities at major hunts, for shaping his path; the story of Speck's acquisition and subsequent rise illustrates how skill, timing, and alliances propelled him to Grand Night Champion status in multiple registries.
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.
