Happy Easter from Hound on the Run

A quick update and a few new things coming up!

I don’t have any interesting Easter-related hound hunting stories to share, but I realized it’s been a while since my last dispatch and wanted to check in.

Other than a handful of YouTube videos I’ve put out over the last few months, there hasn’t been much excitement on my end. The Oregon bobcat harvest season ended on February 28th, but unfortunately due to heavy snows, I wasn’t able to hunt the last week and a half of the season. This was terrible timing as some things were starting to click for my dogs, specifically Roux who started striking from the truck and starting his own tracks this season. I also got the Blue Pups on a few good snow tracks this year, and although we never found the critters in the trees, I felt it was very good experience for my young pack to get some cat scent up their noses.

Enough snow accumulated in the mountains that I hadn’t even been able to get my dogs out for exercise until yesterday. Needless to say, we’ve all been going a bit stir crazy and are completely ready for summer to get here so we can do some serious camping.

Anyways, to keep you up to speed on future Hound on the Run happenings, here are a few things to look forward to.

Audiobook Version of “Cat Dog Chronicles”

I have been blown away by how many copies of my book, “Cat Dog Chronicles,” you all have bought. But through conversations I’ve had with many friends, family members, and strangers on the internet, I have learned that many folks simply don’t have much time to read actual books these days. But many do have lots of time while doing other things—like driving—to listen to audiobooks. I, also, am a huge fan of audiobooks.

So that’s what I’m working on—turning “Cat Dog Chronicles” into an audiobook that will be available on Audible.

Recording will start soon and I’ll keep you all posted when it’s ready to go. It will be a big project for sure, but I’m aiming to have it done in a few months.

More YouTube Videos Coming

I have been having a great time editing and publishing videos on the Hound on the Run YouTube channel. Many, many hours of video were recorded in the field this hunting season, and I still have 3 or 4 more hunting vlog videos in the works. But once those are up, I’ll be shifting focus slightly on the YouTube channel and covering some of the other aspects of owning hunting dogs and some non-hunting training-related stuff. I might even be scheming up some hound-centric comedy videos.

Here’s my latest video where Roux and I spent a beautiful morning following tracks in the snow!

Anyone want to see me take my dog Finn to a salt spa therapy session?!?! Should be pretty funny!

Hound on the Run Finally has a Real Logo

Hound on the Run is clearly a bootstrapped operation and business decisions are made on an as-needed basis. So, it took me a long time to get an actual logo made. But the time has come and the talented designer over at Outer Agenda came up with a logo that I love. Check it out!

If all goes as planned, we’ll have this sweet design available on t-shirts and hats among other items coming soon.

Thanks for Stopping By!

I hope everyone has had an excellent Easter and got to spend some quality time with family. I appreciate all the love and support you’ve shown me and look forward to sharing some exciting new projects moving forward.

That’s all for now, see you next time!
