Do you remember the feeling you had when you first started hunting? Maybe it was the first time you were able to hunt on your own with no supervision.

If you were born before social media it was not an event to capture content for likes and shares. More than likely it was not for a payout at a competition coonhunt.

In this episode Seth and Chris kick off this series of podcasts about what got us hooked on hunting. What is the driving force behind our continuing to hunt.

For the Love of Hunting.

Alexander the Great had landed a fleet of ships carrying his army on Persian soil with a mission to attack and destroy the Persian Empire. This mission was in retribution for Persian aggression and brutality against his people. After the landing, Alexander gave to command to burn the boats. By doing so he made it clear; there is no retreat. The only option was forward. If his army wanted to survive they had to be successful.

The hound hunting community is facing a similar situation. On this episode of the Houndsman XP Podcast Chris dives deep into what it is going to take for us to not only survive but to thrive. Chris discusses putting to death old rivalries, tribalism and grudges. He discusses social media, politics and more.

Tory Biddle joins us in this episode of the Houndsman XP Podcast and we are talking about physical fitness. That’s right, we are here to shame you for sitting on your butt.

Have you ever caught yourself thinking “I don’t want to make that hike to my hounds” It’s one thing when it’s a ball busting hike; it’s another when you are scared to get out of the road because you’re a fat a$$.

Chris and Troy are not physical trainers or experts. Just two Houndsmen talking about hunting and how working out has increased their performance and their desire to hunt even into older ages.
