Anyone Can Hunt With Us — The Story Behind Our Public Hound Hunts

We launched the public hunts because people kept asking if they could come hunt with us — folks from Maine, Missouri, and all across the country. They didn’t want trophies or drama.

They just wanted a real chance to experience hound hunting the right way.

From day one, the mission was simple:

Give people an honest, ethical, first-hand experience of hunting with hounds.

Back in 2023, after the wreck that nearly killed me, I couldn’t run these events like I used to.

But the houndsman community stepped in without hesitation.

Kenny kept the mission alive, running hunts at Angola and Holly Shelter in my absence.

Dayna and her crew at the Sandhills have been phenomenal all year — welcoming new hunters, teaching them the right way, and giving people an experience they never would have had otherwise.

And we can’t forget James, who has sponsored the Bertie Gamelands hunt for four straight years.

That trip has become its own tradition: good people, good memories, and always done the right way.

Now we’re preparing for Public Hunt #19 — and we’re proud of every single one that came before it.
