Listen "Texan Ray Dismukes"
Episode Synopsis
This episode represents a Texas-style homecoming for host Steve Fielder as he reunites with longtime friend Ray Dismukes of McDade, Texas. Dismukes, fresh off a major win at the UKC Texas State Championship, joins Steve to talk all things coon hunting, Texas style.
Fielder and Dismukes are contemporaries, having been born less than a month apart in 1946. They met at the UKC American Heritage Hunt in 1992 and took a hunt together at that hunt that’s part of the conversation.
Dismukes has remained active in the sport despite being 78 years old, an age when most coon hunters have hung up the leashes for good.
Dismukes shares his ideas on pup training, describes his young Texas State Champion English dog he calls Sandhills Jack of Diamonds, and gives an account of the hunt, his first Texas State win despite hunt the event for many years.
Ray is one of the most-respected coon hunters among the legions of them over the years in the Lone Star State. Ray’s passion and pleasing demeanor make this an enjoyable listen for anyone, young or not so young, that loves the sound of the hounds. Vintage coon hunting conversation in a podcast that will listened to by many, again and again.
