    • It's Complicated...But It's Not Hard, Featuring Andrew Bray
      Feb 18 2026

      This episode was special, featuring a conversation with one of my best friends! These types of conversations happen often between him and me, and we thought it was time to share them with others. This one is the first of many we hope to share along the journey of our friendship. These Leopard Curs have brought two worlds together, and nothing is more powerful than sharing a common interest and goal with another person. We discuss what matters in coon hunting, the Leopard Breed, and other topics that came up along the way. We believe this one will be enjoyed; it is not every day you get to create a podcast with your best friend! What you hear is a natural form of friendship; the laughs are genuine, and the passion is evident! Give it a listen and tap into the minds of two Curs guys as they share a conversation about the things we love!

    • Coon Dog Paralysis Explained for Beginners: Causes, Risks, and Prevention
      Feb 11 2026

      Coon dog paralysis is something many handlers have heard about — but few truly understand until it hits close to home.

      In this episode of Thoughts of a Dog Man, I break down what coon dog paralysis is, what it does to a dog, why the onset can take time, and the hard lessons that come with it.

      This isn’t a scare tactic episode.

      It’s an understanding episode.

      We talk about:

      • What coon dog paralysis actually is
      • Why symptoms don’t always show up immediately
      • How it affects a dog’s nervous system and mobility
      • Why some common practices can increase risk
      • The difficult reality that there is no guaranteed cure
      • Prevention, awareness, and perspective for new handlers

      There are things in this sport that are avoidable — and things that aren’t. The goal of this episode is to help new and beginner handlers think critically, protect their dogs, and avoid putting them in unnecessary risk situations.

      Sometimes experience teaches hard lessons.

      If this episode helps even one handler make a better decision, it’s worth it.

    • Titles Aren’t the Only Measure of a Good Coon Dog
      Feb 4 2026

      Coon hunting didn’t used to feel this complicated.

      Somewhere along the way, pressure replaced enjoyment, titles replaced memories, and a lot of people — especially new handlers — started to feel like they were doing something wrong just for wanting to enjoy the dogs.

      In this episode of Thoughts of a Dog Man, I break down 15 ways to make coon hunting fun again, with a focus on protecting new and beginner handlers from unnecessary pressure, unrealistic expectations, and burnout.

      This episode isn’t anti–competition hunting.

      It’s about reminding people that coon hunting is bigger than titles, scorecards, or trends — and that enjoying the sport still matters.

      In this episode, we talk about:

      • How pressure quietly drains the fun out of coon hunting
      • Why young dogs get rushed and over-corrected
      • How chasing a “winning” dog can ruin honest dogs
      • Why pleasure hunting still matters
      • How to redefine success so you and your dogs can enjoy the process
      • Why beginners deserve space to learn without judgment

      If you’re new to coon hunting — or you’ve been around long enough to feel burned out — this episode is a reminder that coon hunting was never supposed to feel stressful.

      Your dog is allowed to learn.

      You’re allowed to enjoy the hunt.

      And success doesn’t have to look the same for everyone.
