Jim Meeks was, at his peak, known as one of the hardest hunters in the sport of raccoon hunting.He is most noted for his association with the Yadkin River strain of Treeing Walkers. He takes no credit for naming the strain but no man has hunted and promoted more of the famous dogs from the line. Hounds like Yadkin River Tom, Jeff, Champ, Chico, and Tar Rattler lace his conversations like rawhide on a well-worn pair of Irish Setters. Jim Meeks and Yadkin River Walkers are forever intertwined.
Jim and Steve have been sharing conversations around the barns at the Grand American for over forty years. This episode is but the latest collection of coonhound-related chatter that flows when the two get together. Readers have enjoyed Jim’s writing in coonhound magazines through the decades as well. Never claiming to be a competition hunter, his Just Coon Hunting columns are ripe with some of the most entertaining stories to be found. Coon hunters wet behind the ears and long in the tooth alike will enjoy this episode recorded live at the largest annual gathering of coon hunters in the nation, the incomparable Grand American.
