Feb 06, 2024In this week's episode I am joined by Noah Clark. Noah's passions include Christ, coonhounds and cur dogs just like the name of this episode suggests. He is a pastor but can often be found in the woods during the week training and hunting dogs for others. We discuss some of his upbringing as well as hunting dogs for the public. He hunts squirrel dogs during the day and turns around and coon hunts at night. His life revolves around Christ, his family, and the dogs he hunts.
