A Weekend in the Woods: Hunting, Hounds, and Honest Talk

This week, I hit the road for a weekend hunting trip with my longtime friend, Bob Melville. We've shared a lot of miles and a lot of hunts over the years, so the conversation naturally goes beyond just the chase. In this episode, we dive into the constant challenge of evaluating our hound packs—knowing when to be patient, when to make tough decisions, and why building a solid pack is never as simple as it looks from the outside. We also have an honest discussion about the realities of raising hounds. From the time and effort required to the disappointments and rewards that come with developing young dogs, we talk about what it really takes to build a pack you're proud to hunt behind.
