This episode features a young hunter, both in years and in the number of years he has been involved in the sport.  Like many young hunters, the lure of competition has been at the center of his involvement and he is known to be very successful at it.

Duell Murphy of Huntington, Ind., is a major player on the major stage of competition coon hunting.Hunting dogs for Heather Island’s Ike Rainey, his earnings and those of the hounds he has handled have reached six figures and beyond.

In this entertaining hour and a half, Steve talks to Murphy about his job with Heather Island, his early beginnings in the sport, the tragedy of losing a favorite hound and the near-death experience on a Texas highway that nearly ended, not only his career, but his life.

This is one for the listener that watches the amazing changes in the world of coonhound competition, including astronomical entry fees and purses and wonders what it’s like to experience it all from the inside.
