In this episode Steve and Nubbin invite a brand, spanking new coon hunter to the microphone in an enjoyable conversation with ten-year old Brantley Whittle. Brantley became interested in coon hunting after reading Wilson Rawls’ classic Where The Red Fern Grows as have so many children through the ages since Rawls penned the story of Old Dan and Little Ann in 1961. The parallels in age between the book’s Billy Coleman and Brantley Whittle, Coleman is ten when the story begins and Whittle is ten now, open the door for an interesting discussion on the mindset of boys that age as they enter the sport for the first time. In our discussion we learn that Whittle sought, through the help of our Nubbin Moore, a female Redbone pup with which to start his journey because, as was Little Ann, the females were thought to be smarter. This episode will refresh the memories of youth for older hunters and will spark a desire to join the fun for novice hunters Brantley’s age and beyond.
