Creating real, raw moments frozen in time through the eyes of a houndswoman-& telling the stories that help preserve the lifestyle.

Kaw-Liga and I are headed to Saluda Coondog Day in Saluda, NC to visit with friends and do the show dog deal today.

He’s currently on his summertime hiatus from being an honorary fox dog (which he’s big mad about), so I figured he was due a little ‘venture, as we call it.

Be sure to say hi if you see us out and about. Kaw-Liga loves meeting new friends!

The great thing about events like this (and having an ambassador dog who’s both sweet and handsome) is the number of conversations with the public that are started about hunting with hounds. Chief (one of my retired fox dogs) and Kaw-Liga have helped create countless educational moments and positive interactions with the public for me over the years. Our dogs can be great PR agents!

Let’s continue the discussion about hunting deer with dogs on a positive note.

Tell us about a time you had an interaction that ended on good terms with a landowner or individual who maybe didn’t really understand the sport.

These are the moments that don’t get talked about enough, but I’ve spent a number of years as a journalist and photographer in the newspaper and outdoor media spaces trying to show “the outside” the moments that matter. It’s a task I’ve held close to heart long before dog related media really became “a thing.”

Thank you all for your support of our cause here in SC as responsible hunters. Locals, if you didn’t realize it, we have a lot of allies from outside our state rallying for us as well.

Onward and upward towards keeping South Carolina as THE dog hunters’ state in our nation. I’ve always said it to be true, and I hope I never see otherwise in my lifetime.

Cross-posting from my personal page because, well, I’d say most of my friends on Facebook are the responsible sort.

If you plan on taking yourself to any of these upcoming SCDNR meetings regarding dog hunting, PLEASE show your support silently if you can’t voice your opinion with some class and intelligence. If you plan on acting like trash, do us all a favor and stay home.

I really don’t care who this offends because it’s the truth, and a lot of you need to hear it. Many of the loudest and most publicly visible dog hunters in this day and time are the ones who I personally wish would find another hobby. Anyone responsible has to work three times as hard to try to make up for what that sort gets into, and the hard truth is we are no longer running at the front of that particular race.

The dog men that made ME a dog (wo)man spoiled me, I suppose. They instilled in me the importance of good relationships with our neighbors, and even though times (and people) were vastly different when I started dog hunting, conflict wasn’t something that happened often. I wish that was still our reality.

I thought about the first time I went dog driving on my way home from GA last night. It will probably always be one of my most vivid memories-a core memory, if you will. I’m not sure there’s anything I’ve ever fallen in love so quickly with, nor anything that totally changed the trajectory of my life the way that drive did. That one morning led me down a path to so many deer dogs, coonhounds, and fox dogs I’ve loved and cherished my working partnerships with-along with countless friends over the past two decades who I’ve met through these hounds.

I’m asking you as kindly as I can. Please be on your best behavior. And if any of this hit a nerve, I hope you’ll examine what you contribute to this sport and adjust accordingly.

Miss Virginia here has a message for the ladies on International Women’s Day.

Being a female doesn’t mean you can’t make it to the front. 🎀

I was a young woman who hadn’t yet fully grown into my self-confidence when my love of hounds took root. From the very first day, I never wanted to be a “female deer/coon/fox hunter.”

I just wanted to be a dog hunter. To make dogs that I was proud of. To be respected by those around me.

Every step I walked toward that goal was a step toward the woman I am today, at 40. Life with these dogs, walking within what has traditionally been a man’s world-it changed me.

It brought me out of my shell and taught me how to be assertive when needed.

It taught me that my emotional involvement with and deep love of these animals wasn’t a weakness after all. In reality, a lot of times it’s been “the secret sauce.”

It’s shown me my physical and emotional strength. And the hardest days taught me to not be selfish when it meant sparing them a single moment of suffering.

Most of all, every dog I ever hung my collar on has played a role in teaching me that I CAN do hard things. That just because someone says “you’ll never be able to do that” doesn’t mean you can’t prove them wrong.

Be a lady. Be prepared to have to work twice as hard to earn respect sometimes. Don’t expect special treatment. Love your dogs.

And watch this change your life 🖤

*I’d be remiss in failing to say that I’m eternally grateful for the houndsmen who took me under their wing, encouraged me, pushed me past what I thought were my limits sometimes, and always clapped the loudest even if my name was higher on the sheet than their’s. THANK YOU, for everything.
