Gone To The Dogs - Stuff & Things

In this heartfelt episode of 'Gone to the Dogs' from The Hound Dog Podcast Network, Steve Fielder and his brother Randy reminisce about their shared love of coon hunting, barbecue, and family heritage. The conversation begins with a nostalgic dive into their childhood in Middle Tennessee, recalling hickory-smoked pork, country ham, and the iconic smokehouse where their grandmother made sausage in cheesecloth sleeves. They reflect on the joy of outdoor cooking, particularly their current pork rib smoker project, and share vivid memories of their beloved dog, Pee Wee—a fine-tuned, joyful hound who never caused trouble and was a joy to hunt with. The brothers also discuss the evolution of coon hunting competitions, including the UKC Tournament of Champions, and express concern over the increasing violence against hunting dogs, condemning senseless shootings and calling for moral and spiritual renewal. They close with a poignant reflection on the state of modern society, urging listeners to return to kindness, faith, and community values.
