Ep. 88 - From Maine Bears to Western Lions | The Whitaker Brothers
Fresh off a successful few days in the Maine woods and a hunt that ended with a giant black bear on the ground, Rob Fickett and teammate Nathan Theriault sit down with the Whitaker Brothers to talk all things hounds. From their beginnings as young hunters fascinated by dogs, to becoming dedicated houndsmen pursuing bears and mountain lions across North America, the Whitakers share the stories, lessons, and experiences that shaped their passion for the sport. We dive into what it takes to build a successful pack of hounds, the challenges of hunting bears in the thick Maine woods, and the incredible adventures they've had chasing mountain lions and bears in the rugged country out West. The conversation also explores why hunting Maine is unlike anywhere else, the traditions that make it special, and the deep connection between houndsmen, their dogs, and the wild places they hunt. Whether you're a houndsman, bear hunter, or simply someone who appreciates the heritage and grit of the outdoors, this episode is packed with stories, insight, and a look into a style of hunting few people truly understand.
