Chasing PKC History With Ed Green | The Holt Outdoors Podcast Ep. 9
Welcome back to The Holt Outdoors Podcast! In this episode, host Brennan Holt sits down with the legendary coon hunter, Ed Green. Ed shares his incredible journey, starting from when he first began hunting at 12 years old with his mentors, Wayne Rosson and Bud McCartney, in Southeast Kansas.
We dive into how the sport has changed over the decades, from the days of hunting for $40 raccoon hides to the high-stakes world of modern competition hunting. Ed talks about the importance of patience with young dogs and the difference between hunting styles then and now. He also tells the amazing story of his Bluetick dog, Zeke, who is on the verge of becoming the number one winning Bluetick of all time in PKC earnings. Join us for a fascinating conversation about hunting, competition, and the unmatched camaraderie of the coon hunting community.
