GTTD with the Kentucky Sporting Dog Alliance

Kentucky has long been noted as the cradle of coon hunting as we know it today. The famed Walker family, noted for their namesake the Walker foxhound which was the forerunner of today’s Treeing Walker, the most popular of all coonhound breeds, lived in Kentucky. In this episode Steve recalls the first licensed hunt in which he participated took place at a coon hunting club in Kentucky. Considered by many to be the Kentucky Derby of coon hunting competitions, the massive PKC World Hunt was held in the western Kentucky town of Aurora for many years. Our guest Billy Carter joins Steve in remembering their great experiences hunting there and throughout the Bluegrass State. Upon learning of the formation of the new Kentucky Sporting Dog Alliance, Steve contacted former podcast guest Billy Carter to learn the skinny on the new group. It’s all here in this episode including the purpose and goals of the association, its plans to bring Kentucky sporting dog owners of every stripe under one tent and divulges the organization’s plans for statewide competitions involving monetary awards, all for the purpose of bringing hunters together. Everybody needs somebody and hunting dog enthusiasts nationwide need to realize and practice the adage “there’s strength in numbers.” We need to come together if our sport is to survive and thrive.
