In this episode of the Holt Outdoors Podcast, host Brennan Holt sits down with David Lewis, a seasoned coonhound hunter and trainer. David, known on social media as "Virginia Dave," shares his personal journey from hunting with blue ticks as a young boy to his return to the sport and the world of competition hunting as an adult.

The two discuss the nuances of coonhound training, emphasizing the importance of patience, repetition, and understanding a dog's natural abilities. David talks about his own dogs, Johnny and Max, explaining why he prefers dogs with a lot of heart and a wandering, independent nature. He also offers essential advice on hound health, the proper use of e-collars, and the danger of setting unrealistic expectations from what is seen on social media.
