In this Christmas episode of the podcast, Steve and Kesten Jessee entertain Clayton Stark, producer of the Stark Outdoors YouTube channel and podcast.
The subject of the day is the phenomenal popularity of Burchell Davis’ Rosedale Phrogger, a four-year-old Treeing Walker with an impressive competition resume and a mouth that’s drawing coon hunters to the hound like mosquitos to a good dose of bug dope. The impressive part of the Phrogger story is the hound’s habit, on a consistent basis, of passing his coon-treeing ability and his indescribably loud and unique mouth on to his pups through what Steve calls the Phrogger Phenomenon.
Each of the boys have some degree of experience with Davis’ Rosedale Phrogger or his offspring.Stark is hunting a 10-month-old pup for Davis and Kesten is starting a four-month-old Phrogger/Lone Pine-bred pup that he and Steve co-own. In each case, the boys come away being more than impressed with the results.Phrogger is on center stage on this one and it’s a story that can only be labeled as phenomenal, told by guys that have nothing to gain in the telling.
Closing the podcast, Steve and Ella share the mike to extend warm Christmas wishes and lasting gratitude to Gone To The Dogs listeners everywhere.
