The Tailgate Test: What Your Hounds Really Did This Season

The season may be over, but the work of becoming a better houndsman is just beginning. In this episode, we take a hard, honest look at post-season evaluation—what your hounds actually showed you this year versus what you hoped they were doing. Every race, every loss, every cold trail tells a story. The hunters who improve year after year are the ones willing to sit on the tailgate after the season and ask the tough questions. We break down how to evaluate your pack honestly, what traits you should be looking for, and how those observations should guide your off-season training plans. Spring isn’t just the end of hunting—it’s the beginning of building better hounds.   IG - heathhyatt147 FB Heath Hyatt Youtube - Heath Hyatt      Follow our Sponsors: Inukshuk  Darkenergy OnX  Double U Hunting Supply Quick-track.com Muddy River Transport    Inukshuk: Inukshukpro.com Corey.ca   Darkenergy:  best-charging banks on market.
