Smith and Strickland are profits of the Davis Doctrine every time they release their immitigable Lone Pine Lady female into the deep dark woods of a major coonhound competition hunt and they are fulfilling Davis’ commission on an incredibly frequent basis these days.

GONE TO THE DOGS PODCAST host Steve Fielder catches up with Smith and Strickland just a handful of days following Stickland and Lady’s mastery of the JOY Dog Food Super Hunt in Texas on the last weekend in February.   The trio talk about their hound, about John’s winning ways in competition and Smith’s prowess, and long- term success as one of coon hunting’s most dedicated and effective breeders.

If you want to know how the upper tier of the game operates, from selection of the breeding pair to cashing in at the payout window, this one will satisfy your every whim.
