EP 114: Gone to the Dogs with Ray Conrad

Vendors play an extremely important role in hound sports.  Houndsmen, and especially those whose activities take them into the outdoors in early morning or late evening hours realize the importance of a bright, dependable, portable source of light in order to safely and successfully follow our hounds.   This episode features a vendor that has been involved in the design and manufacture of his Bright Eyes brand of lights, primarily for coon hunters, for more than twenty years.  A coon hunter with a penchant for Black and Tan Coonhounds, Ray Conrad has served as national president for one of the nation's largest breed associations, The American Black and Tan Coonhound Association.  As an entrepreneur, Conrad has continually brought new products to the forefront at major coonhound events and in his advertisements in major coonhound publications.  Ray's story of his commitment to always produce something new is an interesting and informative journey into the behind-the-scenes world of one of our sport's most innovative vendors.      We would like to thank those who support this podcast.  Special thanks to Double U Hunting Supply for sponsoring this episode.  www.dusupply.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@DoubleUHuntingSupply/podcasts
