Hound Dog Network - Gone To The Dogs

Sportsmen's Empire - Western Big Game Hunting

In this episode Steve is joined by bear hunter Wes Woodyard of Narrows, Virginia to roast, if somewhat mildly, their mutual friend, professional trainer and Double U Hunting Supply podcast personality Heath Hyatt.

Wes and Steve have known and have made many hunts with Heath over several years. It was on a Freedom Hunter’s Adventure with Heath that Steve and Wes became well-acquainted. This week the two come together to discuss some “Hyatt-style Adventures” that adequately spill the beans on the professional trainer. Woodyard credits Heath with bringing him into the hound sport and when he asked for the opportunity to give credit where credit is due on a podcast, Steve was glad to comply. The episode illustrates the importance of mentoring new hunters into the sport.

This is a feel-good episode that just goes to show that while bringing someone into the sport isn’t always easy, it can pay big dividends. Woodyard, formed in the Hyatt mold, is an extreme hound hunter that never shirks the hard stuff when it comes to hunting and harvesting black bears. Every hunting party needs one like Wes. You’ll enjoy this one.
