In this week's episode I am joined by Robin Powell. Robin caught the hound hunting bug at just nine years old, and more than six decades later, he's still turning loose hounds with the same excitement he had as a kid. Growing up in Oregon, Robin experienced a time when hound hunting was a way of life. Every weekend, every holiday, and every vacation revolved around dogs and the outdoors. Today, at 71 years old and happily retired, Robin spends his time doing what he loves most—running a small pack of crossbred hounds in pursuit of bobcats throughout the rugged country of the Pacific Northwest. In this episode, Robin shares stories from a lifetime spent behind hounds, how hound hunting has changed over the years, and why he's stayed committed to breeding the same family of dogs for an incredible nine generations. We also dive into what makes his crossbred pack so effective on bobcats, the importance of consistency in a breeding program, and why the passion for good hounds never fades. Whether you're a seasoned houndsman, a bobcat hunter, or someone who simply enjoys hearing stories from hunters who have dedicated their lives to the sport, you'll appreciate Robin's wisdom, humility, and unwavering love for hounds.   https://conkeysoutdoors.com  Promo Code TREETALKINTIME5 https://www.facebook.com/groups/1420083161566245  https://www.facebook.com/p/Animal-Housing-Solutions-Inc  https://fullcrymag.com Merch: https://treetalkin.com/collections  Social Media: https://www.youtube.com/@TreeTalkinMedia  https://www.patreon.com/treetalkintime https://www.instagram.com/treetalkinmedia https://www.facebook.com/treetalkinmedia

In this week's episode, I am joined by Junior Pyles. Junior made a name for himself in the Walker breed when three hour coon hunts were common. He hunted hard his entire life and still enjoys getting out there at 88 years old. While we roll the calendar back and talk about how things use to be Junior drops numerous little tid bits of knowledge that can only be gotten by years of raising and training coonhounds. Even without those tid bits of knowledge this episode is worth a listen just to hear the stories Junior tells.     Sponsors: https://conkeysoutdoors.com  Promo Code TREETALKINTIME5 https://www.facebook.com/p/Animal-Housing-Solutions-Inc  https://fullcrymag.com Merch: https://treetalkin.com/collections  Social Media: https://www.youtube.com/@TreeTalkinMedia  https://www.patreon.com/treetalkintime https://www.instagram.com/treetalkinmedia https://www.facebook.com/treetalkinmedia
