As I was sitting at the Joe Smith Memorial Hunt and Show, I thought of our next podcast. Jeff Brown, Jordan Brown, Charlie, and Katelyn McPherson have been putting thousands of miles on their trucks in the last several years campaigning their dogs in the nite hunts. Cousin Charlie and Double Deuce are no strangers to winning, and it seems logical to highlight the owners and their dogs. Hope y'all enjoy. God Bless and Go Black!
