Summary
In this episode Steve addresses the changes in the way coon hunters acquire information by reviewing two books written in 1948 and 1952 respectively.
The American Trail Hound by Fred Streaver and The Coon Hunter’s Handbook by Leon F. Whitney, DVM and Acil B. Underwood were two important works designed to make the training of coonhounds a successful experience 75 years or so ago.
Steve finds the more things change the more they stay the same as the methods of three-quarters of a century ago appear similar to the methods coon hunters use in training dogs today.
The episode also includes a tribute to a special friend who recently passed to the vast timbers and river bottoms of his eternal home, Hoosier houndsman and tree dog enthusiast George Danielson.
