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.
