Clay Newcomb and Brent Reaves hunt the lowlands of Arkansas’s White River. Following an afternoon of chasing squirrels with Clay’s Feist, the guys introduce their host and second generation coon hunting camp owner, Randle Whitmore. Randle shares some hunting camp history along with his appreciation for Walker Coonhounds. Clay considers one of these Treeing Walker’s for his own, but not before a trial run in the field. Presented by Weatherby.

Clay and Brent are such a great addition to the meateater crew. I love to see the beautiful state of Arkansas represented. There is no school like the old school.

@davidcaves1872 2 ай бұрын

Talking bout old school: You guys are going to think I am lying, but from my ages of 12-18 (1976-1983), I had a Feist dog would "still hunt" squirrel. She would follow me to the woods. When I would sit down, she would go hunt about a 250-yard circle around me. If she treed, I would go to her and make the kill. If she didn't tree, she would come and sit beside me until we moved a little further into the woods. I killed more squirrels and walked less distance than with ANY squirrel dog than I ever hunted with. I trained her from a pup and never had puppies off of her. When I left for college, my dad sold her and sent me the money. I heard that the old girl finally had 1 litter of pups. Judy was her name.😢

@@wasidanatsali6374 what’s crazy is we used to have a male Jack Russell and female Feist and they would make the best squirrel/coon/rabbit dogs and they were also great pets and my dad would give them away. Free. $500 dogs at the time he would give away for free

My dad hunted walker coonhounds for a lot of years. Used them on bobcats and coyotes also. I sure hope his hounds that went before him met him at the gates! He carried baler twine to skin em in the woods and used that stick trick for the tails.

It great buying a finished dog but there is something special that happens when you raise and train a dog from a puppy. There is a bond that if forged through all the crazy and wonderful times that you experience together. Brought back great memories of my younger days! I grew up hunting Blueticks. It is hard to change breeds once you have raised and trained a good dog.
