Gone To The Dogs with Nathan Johnson

Steve is joined by his brother Randy as they entertain fellow West Virginian Nathan Johnson as this week’s guest.

Johnson, from the town of Rock View in Wyoming County, has never hunted in any other place than southern West Virginia where he, as were the Fielder brothers, was born and raised.  The conversation centers upon what it’s like to hunt in the rugged environs of coal-mining country and why, in fact, would anyone want to hunt in an area that has been named one of the worst states in the Union for coon hunting?

The boys agree that it takes a certain hunting style for a coonhound to be successful in the rugged terrain and provide the listener a detailed description of hunting there.  As the month of October approaches, the discussion moves to raccoon season, the abundance or lack thereof of raccoons in the area, preferred hunting methods, and their individual positions on taking game in areas where the species is not always in good supply.

This is West Virginia dog talk at its finest with one of the finest hunters to have occupied our guest’s chair for an interview.  Sit back and enjoy this trio of mountain boys having a good time talking dogs.  You’ll especially enjoy Johnson’s one-liners as the conversation stays on the lighter side.
