Fresh off his win at the 2025 ProSport National Cup championship in Brazil, Ind., Daniel Sneed of Cherryville, North Carolina joins Steve for some dog talk at its finest, chiefly surrounding the hound with which Sneed won the prestigious event. At thirty-eight years of age, Sneed has a story that’s all too familiar to the host having grown up in the home of a houndsman and developing a love for coon hunting at an early age. Steve and Daniel compare notes on their development in the sport and readily find many similarities in their backgrounds. Sneed is an articulate story teller and listeners will enjoy his precise accounts of the three-night Pro Cup event leading up to his hound No Name Epp being declared the overall Pro Cup champion. This one covers all the basis of pleasure and competition hunting and includes an admission by Sneed that may surprise listeners given his obvious success in the competition realm. Dog talk at its finest one more time on the Gone To The Dogs Podcast.
