Gone To The Dogs With Al Metcalf

Steve lands the interview with one of his most-highly sought-after guests in this episode.  Al Metcalf of Barnesville, Georgia is a tree dog enthusiast like no other.  His transformation from a 32-year veteran of the Georgia Highway Patrol to what can only be described as the renaissance man of tree dog enthusiasts, Medcalf is a throwback to a time when men hunted for food and the tree dog was essential to their survival.   Medcalf’s mantra “If it climbs, it’s not trash” and his waste-not-want-not attitude toward tree game reveal the soul of a real hunter and woodsman, the kind rarely seen today.  Medcalf hunts a mixed bag of Plotts, Mountain Curs and Plott/Cur crosses, with little concern for popular breeds or bloodlines and proves, when the record button turns red, to be a storyteller par excellence.   You’re going to love this episode.   We would like to thank those who support this podcast.
