EP 198: Gone To The Dogs with Ricky Hawkins

Steve catches Hawkins tending the fire as he hickory-smokes jalapeno and cheddar cheese-laced summer sausage, a six-hour process at 165 degrees.  The two old friends use a third of the time to catch up on memories of their days with PKC hunting, with mutual friends like Tam and Clay Young and publisher Terry Walker. This one is also for the straight-talking good ole boys among us as Hawkins talks straight about today’s dogs and hunters and the way things have gone in the hunts from his many experiences over the years. The boys talk on into the night as the smoker breaks down the fat and the back and forth renders some pretty solid content, proving that all coon hunting conversations are not just about good ole boys blowing smoke.  Get yourself a beverage and savor the coon talk, Arkansas-style.       We would like to thank those who support this podcast.
