Brett I hope you know what a gift and a treasure this is you’re bringing to the world. I’m not even a lion hunter but I’ve hunted hounds all my life But these are houndsmen telling hound stories and I’m loving it. Thanks for your hard work
Thank you very much ... its guys like you and these comments that make it worth while ... Thanks Mathew!
I sure am glad someone had the fore thought to document all these guys. Their knowledge is irreplaceable. I have learned a ton from your interviews. I went from not being able to find a track, to being able to identify a scrape, where to find them and how to find crossings. I sure appreciate all that you’re doing, Brett!
Thanks Rowdy .. glad your making progress .. I'm still working on it too .. talking to these guys sure helps .. hopefully more to come
I always enjoy listening to the stories that older timers, and people in general, tell about about they got into hunting how they do. Not to mention the amount of knowledge they are willing to share, just a wealth of information. Always great to hear the interviews you do.
Thank you Curt .. like you I really enjoy listening to them

You can go to my other channel hereruclips.net/channel/UC6QqvAFi_uoJF5KqIVYc-5A
This was one of the best interviews. Very interesting and lots of information
Glad you enjoyed it!
That was very enjoyable! I would love getting with these old hunters and swap stories or ideas. your very lucky. There’s no better way to learn than fallowing the hounds for days & days, but I would love to hear their ideas on sent, breeding , lion knowledge, and hound training. Thanks for the great content.
Thanks Jaysen ... Yeah after I get done with one of these I can always think of questions I should of asked ... hopefully I will get better at this
Loved every minute well done by both the sound of the hound is are love for sure
Thank you!

Your welcome Stephen .. Thank you for watching
My God, I sure love listening to these guys talk!!! Keep these interviews coming.
Les from Eastern Oregon
I'm going to try ... I have to try and reach out to brands or something to find a way to pay for it .. lots of guys to talk to but are all pretty far away Thank you!
Looks like you have been posting for awhile and I just found you. Been telling the hound people I know here in eastern Oregon about you. Hope I can drum you up some more support. Lots of lions in this country!!!
Les
@@mcleod1960 Thats great thank you ... we don't have as many but our laws are a little different lol
Just finishing this n very great video. Great guy so glad you shared sir.
Thanks Thad glad you liked it !
@@BrettVaughnB100 im goin to start watching them all very interesting n information. Its always good to listen to the older generation n the people that live the life very interesting. Thanks for doin the interviews n all your videos. Great stuff bud!!!
Really enjoyed that. Hounds and bird dogs to. That's unusual
There is so much knowledge and great techniques to learn from men like these guys!!! And alot of hound hunters are like me and Mr Mike in that we didn’t have family to teach us the ropes on breeding/training/owning good dogs. It came from years of trial/error mixed with blood,sweat and some tears too. Thank you so much for putting this together for all of us. These are so great to listen to while driving on road trips!!
Yes ... I have more to come .. Thanks
Thank you for this content.
I learned a lot from this.
Thank you for watching .. Mike has a lot of knowledge about hounds and hunting
This is my favorite one of your interviews, iv listened to it multiple times. I sure would love to see an updated interview with Daryl fry, I think that guy has a lot more info a guy like you could dig out of him! Keep it up!
Thanks .. I was planing on doing another one with Daryl just haven't had time .. I think Ben Sheets did one with him for the Double U podcast .. not sure when it will be out
I really enjoyed this interview and the few other of your hound videos I have seen since I stumbled across your Chanel. It’s been 27 years since the “do Gooders” here in Oregon voted down our bear and lion hunting. I had a half dozen hounds at that time Walkers, Redbones, Black an Tans, really lost my interest after that. So great to hear guys talk hounds again, keep up the good work!
That is a shame .. glad you liked it ... Thank you!
Thats one thing I hated about the comp hunting and seeing the leopard curs become part of the comp hunting coonhound breeds. More go yonder, hot nose than anything, but thats what they want. Plus they wanted a lot slicker hair dogs. I miss the old hairy leopards curs lol. great interview. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you ... I've never been around any of those competition type hounds .. I have always stayed with these old hounds that they use around here
Thanks for the great content
Your welcome thanks for watching Daniel!
Accuracy over speed any day, great interview
I already listened to this episode on the double U podcast but it’s good to rewatch it and put faces to voices
Great .. thats kind of the idea of having them both places .. plus there are a lot of guys that will just listen to the podcast and some that just watch on youtube .. Thanks Joshua !
Great interview
A very good and honest interview.
Thanks!
I been waiting for this interview for a while, this is a good one !, I enjoy Mike Leonard post on the BGH forum, he’s full of knowledge on the ancestry of them old hounds and always helpful on shearing his knowledge to people about lions and dogs on his posts.Do you know if he still hunt the Southwest Nance stuff or he’s got something else going on?
I'm not sure Roy ... I know he has a lot of his hounds farmed out to different hunters ... I would love get over there and interview you .. maybe one of these days ? Thanks!
@@BrettVaughnB100 Not me, I’m just a weekend warrior, I just walk hunt and I and can’t cover much ground doing so,I don’t get done like some guys do around my area, I still have to work and be provider for my family, hope the good Lord will give me a long life and be able to retired from the forest circus so I can hit it full time like you and other great Houndsman do, keep up the good work, I enjoy every interview you have done and thank you for bringing back to life all this knowledge that could be lost if it wasn’t for what you doing, God Bless!
A pack of wolfhounds would be really useful in Wyoming and Montana.in fact 10 or 20 of em!
Maybe
I like hearing about a bit of utah hunting, the Basin.
Some of the best . Thanks
Got me a 100 years too late sticker to go on my Mule trailer! Can’t wait till it gets here
Perfect thank you !!

Not to get off topic, but is there something to their eyes turning green Brett? The lion that snuck up on me in Northern California had eyes like the grass in my avatar. Does that mean they're pissed? She definitely was. I thought she had me. I'd camped about 100 feet from her kittens. Good thing she was well fed. This was a great interview. I can listen to stories about dogs all day. Thanks for sharing this.
I have heard that before .. main thing that I have noticed wa when there are a bunch of hounds barking and that lion takes his eyes off of them and looks directly at me with his ears back snarling .. Thank you JC
Great interview as always! Has Mike every published a book?
Thank you .. no he hasn't but he has talked about it and a lot of people have asked him too
smokie river blue ticks Vaughn ecko ll are what are my favorites I have had lots of the Vaughn and smokie river I have a dual grand nite champ now .he is smokie hill and uchman they come from the old Vaughn bred dogs they are good cold nose dogs hammer is another line of blue tick they hunt lots of bear with them I have had about every bred of hounds the blue Gaston I have never had but they are a dog bred for big game they are a bigger dog than the regular blue tick but nimble of foot I always wanted some of them ppl just don't care for them around here because they are so much bigger
Still have him ?
@@houndsman406 I won't sell him but up for stud
Need to look into one of the best lion hunters that lived in Southern Utah by the name Jim Worthen!
I would like too .. thanks
Thanks
Your welcome …thank you !
Mike Leonard once told me if the dog false trees once, the dog comes out, if the dog false trees again, just the collars come out.
Probably a pretty good thing ... time you bust your hind end getting down into one of those rough canyons and they are slick treeing .. doesn't take very many of those lol thanks Chuck
FIRST!!!!!! Hey Brett
lol yes you were
What about the deer runers in the south
Kinda far away
I have hunted dogs for over 50 years and I don't care what kind of dog bred you have each bred has good points and bad I have had several Finley river cheif dogs some were great some were terrible I have had black and tans English red and blue plot red bone if I was to bred a hound for big game I would make a cross bred of the best of all of them and throw some July hound in there to they are far more guty of a breed than fox hounds in my opinion
I think the biggest problem we have down here is getting hounds that are willing to cold trail in this dry country in the SW .. Thanks Mark
fox's here will be in pairs and they switch off and keep doing that all day they wear down some of the best dogs
I know sometimes its hard to tell the difference between trailing a fox and a lion .. thanks
Never kill a sound dog. Love the K 9,s. Bears , I wont kill, they are spiritual. Thats jus me, no offense. I went into a little stand of spruce up high,north of Pagosa Springs , on a elk hunt…..someone had killed two smaller black bears, skinned and hung them it there, shocker, skinned and hung the way they were, looked like a human body…..So me no kll um….observerd bears traits in time….luv um.
Love your stories….and vids, because you get out there a lot, me not enough. Gracious.
I have caught a lot of bears but I myself have never killed one .. I have been with others who have I don't have anything against killing them I just never had the desire .. I do know what you mean about how they look when they are skinned out .. looks human ... Thanks
Meh,hunted and seen Mike Leonard hounds....put em on a mean bear,even cold trailing.I love your uploads and desert hunting but I've seen too many of those hot nosed walkers either quit or trash.Any hound can tree a hot lion track,not many dogs or strains can stay with a mean bear,let alone trail up an older lion track.I am no pro,I got my dogs years ago,I mean years,there was better,some out of Northern Idaho,mixed breed out of the east Kootenay of BC,Washington, Oregon. Bought a decent Walker out of a line from the Kootenay, my buddy had bought many from Mike,zero success but the man did honor his buyback and I'll give him top marks for that.As cold trailing,gritty,running/treeing Walker dogs is what they are....I'm not slamming him but damn,they can't cold trail like some of yours or fight a bear like mine.Mine aren't cold trailers in the dirt,but they catch,yours cold trail way better....Leonard's have neither except the odd one out of 50.Im saying from watching and performing,never owned one after I saw the first.
I understand .... I'm going to start prefacing these with a disclaimer "Following are the opinions and views of the interviewed and not necessarily the views of the channel" lol After the Ruban Lassman interview I got a call from a friend of mine that was upset about something he said ... then he watched the interview again about 2 weeks later and called me and got mad all over again lol ... I just report you decide lol Thanks for watching it anyway
@@BrettVaughnB100 There's no anger here,I love watching those hounds cold trail in the dirt and enjoy your uploads. It's a different hunt than I'll ever see and respect the dog work and handling immensely! I apologize if I came off brash,thanks again.
Speed accrocie brains color means nothing breed means nothing acoritcie means all track speed means a lot. Dog that circle tree before treeing hard to find.
What is accrocie ?
