EP 33: Andrew Quintana and The Dog Trailer That Launched a Manhunt

What happens when a retriever trainer’s meticulously customized dog trailer is stolen in the middle of the night? You get one of the wildest episodes yet. In this installment of the Hunt Test Hobo Podcast, Chris Rud sits down with Andrew Quintana to unpack the incredible true story of how his six-hole Ainley-topper trailer was swiped right out of his front yard. From a suspicious bark in the night, to a high-speed chase through Tennessee backroads, to a helicopter and K-9-assisted manhunt that ended in an arrest—this episode has it all.

Andrew breaks down the timeline, the adrenaline, the split-second decisions, and how sheer luck (and a very vocal dog) brought his trailer home. If you’ve ever trained dogs, towed gear, or left something valuable out for just one night, this story will hit hard. It’s part thriller, part cautionary tale, and entirely unforgettable.
