I am an old Coonhunter I’m 78 years old I really enjoyed this me and my brother my nephew spent many a night in the woods like to see some more thanks you’re doing a great job
Your welcome .. glad you enjoyed it .. comments like these are what keeps me going to do more .. bet you have some good stories yourself .. Thank you !
I'm a coonhunter in Mississippi. And I have always wanted to go out west and tree a lion. You're videos are a joy for me to watch. Thanks for sharing your adventures with me.
I've known that man all my life. My father and Mike are good friends. It's been awhile since I've seen him. Was nice to come across your interview and watch these two houndsman legends sit and visit! Thank you.
Great interview. You’re right. I wished I had thought of interviewing all the WW2 and Vietnam Nam vets I grew up with. As a kid I heard a million stories. All are gone now. God bless you and your family.
I am late viewing this one but I enjoyed watching. Mike Root is a very interesting man. He has a ton of experience training hounds and running his outfitting business taking hunters on lion and bear hunts. Great podcast. Thanks.
Ran across your channel because my wife always tells me “you were born 100 years too late.” Well ran across your channel and figured it was meant to be. I love these interviews. I’m young compared to you guys but I love to sit around with the old timers. I run cur dogs on wild cattle but I love listening to any kind of dog man.
I believe there are a lot of us that feel that way .. I have talked to a lot of guys that run wild cattle ..mostly with catahoula's .. I can see how that can really get in your blood .. Glad you found the channel ... Thank you!
Great session you three hunter had, so glad you had a camera on it. Lots of experience came out. Love hunting campfire stories. Love dogs too, always had huge dogs……memories . Can relate to not pulling that trigger, the older I get. 🤠. Video was tops, Thanks 🤠
We just found this channel and we are enjoying it too. Love hearing about the lives of those who have lived a different life than me, and learning different things from these videos. I even subscribed because your videos are so interesting and just watching so many different scenes of where you ride I love it.
The interview was great!! Its super neat to hear y'all talk about Otis....he truly does have a lot of good stories! He's very humble...he tells me stuff and I say Otis that's amazing and he says aah I don't know about that. He's definitely one of a kind!
I've watched probably five or six of your videos in the past couple weeks and I gotta say I enjoy the content. This is the first interview type one and I'll watch another. 👍🏻
I love the vedo, im 78 ahd never got to hunt in the west, but here in mountains of North Carolina got in about 50 years of it. Im amazed at how well the pack animals handle the stonny trails. God Bless
@BrettVaughnB100 Deer, coon, rabbit, bear anything that had 4 legs. And old two Legg Tom turkey. Used straight recurve bow, we with cedar Arrows, then a compound, but the greatest joy for years, with a 45 cal. Custom built Kentucky Rifle. My stomping grounds was all over Mount Mitchell, not near as tall as your Mtns but 6,680 ft. I'm only able to watch people like you, on internet. Had tripple by- pass, then ruptured stomach, and took Dr's almost two weeks to find out what was going on. Now I have been opened up 3 times and all inside played out on table and put back together. Thank our Good Lord and Savior, I'm walking and cooking and such. Brett, don't wast o half day on frivolous things, DO WHAT YOU LOVE, WHILE YOU ARE ABLE. Agin I spend howers watching you and dogs and our late friend "BIG AGNUSS". OH I WAS RAISED ON FARM WITH DRAFT STOCK, I LOVED MULES, ESPECIALLY ONES THAT WAS SMART, AND WORKABLE. BEST ANIMAL THAT EVER SET A FOOT ON A MOUNTAIN TRAIL. TAKE CARE MY FRIEND THAT I HAVENT MET YET FACE TO FACE. NUMBERS 6:25
Really enjoyed your interviews. Keep them coming. I wish I had interviewed some of the guys I hunted with over the last 50 years. There is only one left. You encourage me to interview him. They were all deer hunters.
I know ... I think this is a critical time .. when these old timers are gone ..the ones that started the hard way we will lose all those stories with them .. need to document them ..as many as we can .. Thanks Mark !
Len Collins can be viewwed on the EASY RIDER movie. As the boys have run out of gas on the back road between Prescott and Seligman they push their bikes oast a farmer shoeimg horses ...which is kinda wierd cuz hes looking all around and hammering .. they pull up to Mrs. Collins picnic table on the west side of thenhouse and they all had steak and beans...
Good guy. He’s been a friend of ours for over thirty years. I go over there every year or so and help take care of his animals. I’m Schneberger’s son, Miles over here in the Gila Black Range.
interesting,, my grandfather was a government hunter in the silver city new mexico area, and a lot of southern new mexico, he was born in that area, as was my mother,, got some great old pictures of his hunts, including do i dare say a spotted cat and i will leave it at that,, he used mules also,
i will see what i can come up with for the year,, i would guess it was in the 1930s maybe, but i will do some research on it, and get back with you,, on some dates,, if my relative will help me, maybe she can scan a few pictures as well,,
This has been the best one...I'd love to be a contributor one day when I I to am an old guy until then I'm just going to keep chasing these dang land sharks all over gods creation. there's always something to catch...sometimes when your dog's are treeing on some off game and you're setting back away and calling them out in your heart you still get that flutter of excitement of having some fur caught.
Thanks I liked talking to Mike he really is one of a kind .. One of these days when your old if I'm still around we will make it happen ... in the mean time keep running those hounds ...
The red roan everyday ( everday or cotidiano) was named by Cecil Muncy. He was a hard pounding energetic mount. when I went to work on the diamond A I was hired by Art Evans and sent to Hermosa. Typically each man got a string of seven. Cecil turned him to me out’a his string probably because he was so rough and didn’t know cow. Cecil didn’t always keep him shod as a way of slowing him down. Which, if I remember correctly (I have pictures of him somewhere) he had light colored feet at least on a few feet, but it didn’t really slow him down much. I took him to Cave Creek and I guess that’s how he came to be at headquarters for Royce to give him to Root. Royce came to the ladder about ‘81 when Art retired. Mike never mentioned the everday story to me so its interesting to know part of what happened.
Yes I do enjoy hearing their stories ... if you listen to podcasts you can get more on the Double U Hunting Supply Podcast .. I have some interviews up on there .. Thanks !
Victoria Peak? He said he used to hunt up and over Victoria Peak he got a bear is he talkin by Cerrillos and Madrid New Mexico? Between Santa Fe and Albuquerque along the Turquoise Trail? Because if he is I used to Camp right on the Old Santa Fe railroad out in the desert there with my wife and kids and there's the ancient turquoise mines their mind by the Spanish and Navajo and other tribes and in those days it was wide-open I searched and found it it was amazing these ancient turquoise mines up in the desert in the Hills! Now I heard it to National Monument I live in southern Missouri Ozarks
Avery Hurt brought Mike down to Animas, bought ‘89. We were in the Pellincios on my in laws outfit. The dogs ran flat into a batch of cudos! Never forget that day.
Man this is a good one, Do he’s dogs go back to the Henderson hounds too or they go back to the Shelly dogs and Homer Brains ? I try to join to support your channel but I’m not good with technology, all have to ask my 6 year old how to do it😀
I think mainly the Shelly and Homer Bryant hounds and no telling what else .. he does hunt the hide off of them ... lol yep get that 6 year old to help you ..Thanks Roy!
I'm in Washington state, I let our goat out of her dog pen. She was eating round next to the creek when a cougar attacked and killed her. I called WSFW they came up with a guy who had dogs and had the cougar harvested within an hour. It was a 130 lb Tom. The officer told me the state is down to 88,876 cougars. Our state made it illegal to hunt with dogs a few years ago. Our elk and deer herds are suffering greatly because of this. The cougar population is way out of control. Each cat has to have one deer or elk kill every week. Washington State needs to reinstate hunting with dogs. The game department did a good job managing the game in our state before they past that law. Petitions brought it to a vote. The game department had it handled.
All these videos ive seen, Mike Root is the best. He ate that doughnut like there would never be another. Never met him but would not mind, and Im someone who dont care for meeting people. I think Jeff Allen lost a whole pack from a lion slapping them off a cliff. Another one who would be good to interview. Watching them dogs work is worth all of it. That lion at the end dont matter.
Amen on stick together and one good word of advice don't talk politics as in political parties only as it relates to hunting. The whole Damm country is divided and we can't accomplish shit if we are all divided Democrat versus republican
Very few of the houndhunters I aligned with politically in our long expensive fight to save our hound hunting but we came together in one way and that was our universal agreement, love of the hound s and the chase and because of that and tons of hard work we won, but it wasn't easy just hard work canvassing and raising money by every conceivable way because it takes lots of it to save our way of life but we did it here in Idaho.
Bill Murphy got 32 in one month. ORO is next tona Lion Preserve east of Camp Wood. Where i was doing fire crew . I had just surveyed west yavpai with USGS and was just outnof the Marines . Call came in from Larry Hendricks USFG lion hunter for New Mexico was niw GM of the new JJJ. Gramps photograohed and oil painted Charlie Greenes Last Roundup. The old rail lawyer took the man who invented television Ralph George an RCA man. So I cowboyed with a big war hero my.mom interviewed as she was at the courier ... She married the white guy developed Navajo Code . 1966 declassified and Jim Garner said gonfind Crocodile Dundee on the the res. So Ringo was at Dounle O with Len Collins who was his Ww2 buddy. Started talking sheep ! Jeez ! So we sokit for ORO ..Bear Camp. I invited sheriffs rangemaster to go hunt quail.. he missed both barrels and he gave me his snubby for snakes ...i blew its eue out on the fly 80 meters. He cooked the quaail ... The cowboys all noticed the bears and cats avoided me. Im bigger than Hulk Hogan. They were getting jumped ! Most cowboys are little guys.. 150 pound male on a 135 pound Ringo... So wherever i went they went somewhere else .. So i picked up an injury at the forest camp...Carl Cox kept swatting.my.mule and finally i went flying and i get the oerfect job. Larry says come on up for a sit down . Ya wanna kive in Col. Greenes mansion ? I drove by it for years ... We need a gunman... Just chop wood keep the lions off the billionaires...sure ... Wasnt long and Im playing chess with Chase as he and Kissinger flew in from China Accords ... So Im eating on ambassadorial silver and Chippendale and i have an arsenal ...oh yeah . The ranch guns are up front . Till the PLO comes parachutimg in ...then theres the button. As i look at the Remmingtons and Russels ... The queen sent us a full length Stienway.. As i sat down to dinner Larry grabs a winchester and says cat on the roof. Dont shoot my dog he found the wood pile hes doing perimeter search on the roof . So as we peeked out from under the porch slobber hit my face and the #1 German shepherd AKC CDX from a retiring LA detective . #1 german shep in US ... Trained not to bite people.. State dept loved it. ... She said my dog is bored gonhave adventures ... So Larry smiled stuck out his hand on the back porch shook hands and said Yer hired Mr Murphy... Oh indid pull up in Ed Marts old detectives car and it was ...impressive. I got lucky. Prescott had Billy Stewart ..#1 shot in the world ... Which meant he had a truckload of Ww2 ammo ...a truckload. To me it meant sore shoulders as we fired the most accurate weapons ever developed. Springfield bolt and an M1 Garand both 30:06 and tumed by the best gunsmith in the world. He was hiding in the alley behind the Kirby Co. on Gurley and Grove ... Had a 55 Gullwing Mercedes parked their since 1955.. it disappeared in the 80s ...So sore shoulders were the day as Billy and I desteoyed rocks all day at various distances ... Wow ! So i got so good nonone ever tried me... Half my graduatimg class cauhht a bullet coming out if the Palace Bar... Old Ralph Chapmam went to town 3 times . Once for WW1 once for ww2 and whwn he was 86 and not worthna shit he said take me to town... He got a room a bottle and a hooker ... He went with a smile on his face. He and Ringo and Len Collins had run Garands and flame throwers up thr Jap islands ...That wasnt enough for Ringo ...He made Chisin Reservoir and fouhht his way out of Korea back to the boat ... He orobably killed more men face to face than any other in history ...He slept with his 44mag cowboy gun. He had the 1905 Winchester 30:06 box clip... Nothing safe within a mile or twomof that guy. Nothing lives.....unless we let it... Ringonshowed me where we bury the rustlers whenni was 12 .Its a very serious business at 8500 feet in Northern Arizona ... But a dirt poor cowboy family got adopted by the rail lawyer and oir family were thrilled to pieces to just breathe the same air . I followed him around like a puppy dog. Suddenly his VA disabilty came in a lump...Gramps is a federal prosecutor with J Edgar on speed dial... Grams isnHuey Longs cousin. Yup got an assasinated presidential candidate in the fam... Which meant Uncle Russel his Hueys son ascended to Senate Finance Chair my first 33... Ringo a simple dirt farmer would made Masonic initiation for my brother and the COG SW Commanders son. You see the Prescott VA had a little secret.. the emergency president of the sw united states was our boss. Chief of Staff Col. Dr. Ben Whitman . Mom became a lietenant and nurse under the nations highest command. Then OSS Wildman at the Historic Comgregational Church threw a preflight in my lap...i was 12 ..i assured him all the way to the airport i hadnt driven a car yet ....off we go. ! We split out of east coast politics after JFK .grams was fkipping out and a for sale sign went up that evening and a few hours later we made the 1964 4th July Bicentenial Rodeo Celebration ...this was a relief. As gramps had my brother on the chair arm and said i would be Jack and my brother Bobby . It wasnt hours and he was deleted. I cant tell you the confusion in my mind... I dont wanna get shot ya know ... So Im the best trained gunman in the world ...and i never shot anybody...talk about survivor guilt ...now inhad a friend in Prescott . When we were 13 we built guncases and took them home . He soon had ruger convertible 22 and the big 44 for his dad who fired the big 15" guns on the Iowa all over the war areas ...He would takenout his watch and lick it and say takes a lickin keeps on tickin ...he wore that watch 25 years. which was amazing ...So i went to his bible studies and he was a good catholic .. So his son got married had four kids and a lazy wife . Lost his job moved backnin with dad... Now his dad had shot himself two yrars in a row and mom weotenit upninnthepaper one year and was his nurse the next . Well..his son came home from work and found dad knofe above his wife trying to kill her ..he reached for the 44 and emptied it.. they gave him time served ... Now i could tell youngood stories about Prescott . My friend blasted trumpet in my ear 7 years became the juvenile judge and helped so many kids and married the prettiest girl in Prescott and had a sack full of kids himself ... Its a world of duality . And we get to choose ...i choose to hear the wind blow and medtate my way into the light and develop God hood . No better way to meet God than on some expedition to nowhere...
Let me check with my wife .. she ordered it for me because I get so sunburned .. that long rider lady Bernice Ende wears one also .. I will let you know ..
Don't make much sense to sit way up high and have the people that you are interviewing sitting way down low.seems a backwards kind of arrangement for asking somebody you are supposed to respect any questions sitting way up above them looking down on them kinda. At least you know how to keep your own mouth shut and let them talk a little bit.if I was you, I'd get down offa my perch though.

I think Jeff Allen lost a whole pack from a lion slapping them off a cliff. Another one who would be good to interview. Watching them dogs work is worth all of it. That lion at the end dont matter.
Yes my favorite .. you said it best .. "Watching those dogs work .. that lion at the end don't really matter" Thanks Chuck !
How about a video of some dog first aid kits, if you carry anything like that?
That’s a good idea … I will put it in my list thank you
Amen on stick together and one good word of advice don't talk politics as in political parties only as it relates to hunting. The whole Damm country is divided and we can't accomplish shit if we are all divided Democrat versus republican
So true .. Thanks
Very few of the houndhunters I aligned with politically in our long expensive fight to save our hound hunting but we came together in one way and that was our universal agreement, love of the hound s and the chase and because of that and tons of hard work we won, but it wasn't easy just hard work canvassing and raising money by every conceivable way because it takes lots of it to save our way of life but we did it here in Idaho.
How can someone get ahold of mr. Root to talk bout information on doing a 10day hunt?
When I get back from my elk hunt I will get you his number
Have you ever got his number? I would also be interested in doing a hunt.
"Praise the lord and pass the ammunition" Mike Root
lol thats about right .. thanks
It's nice to see that it's for the life and hunt, sure doesn't seem it's for the money.
No not for the money .. for the adventure the hounds among many other things … thanks!
Interesting culture.
I guess from the outside looking in it is ..but it’s all we know ...thanks !
Bill Murphy got 32 in one month. ORO is next tona Lion Preserve east of Camp Wood. Where i was doing fire crew . I had just surveyed west yavpai with USGS and was just outnof the Marines . Call came in from Larry Hendricks USFG lion hunter for New Mexico was niw GM of the new JJJ. Gramps photograohed and oil painted Charlie Greenes Last Roundup. The old rail lawyer took the man who invented television Ralph George an RCA man. So I cowboyed with a big war hero my.mom interviewed as she was at the courier ... She married the white guy developed Navajo Code . 1966 declassified and Jim Garner said gonfind Crocodile Dundee on the the res. So Ringo was at Dounle O with Len Collins who was his Ww2 buddy. Started talking sheep ! Jeez ! So we sokit for ORO ..Bear Camp. I invited sheriffs rangemaster to go hunt quail.. he missed both barrels and he gave me his snubby for snakes ...i blew its eue out on the fly 80 meters. He cooked the quaail ... The cowboys all noticed the bears and cats avoided me. Im bigger than Hulk Hogan. They were getting jumped ! Most cowboys are little guys.. 150 pound male on a 135 pound Ringo... So wherever i went they went somewhere else .. So i picked up an injury at the forest camp...Carl Cox kept swatting.my.mule and finally i went flying and i get the oerfect job. Larry says come on up for a sit down . Ya wanna kive in Col. Greenes mansion ? I drove by it for years ... We need a gunman... Just chop wood keep the lions off the billionaires...sure ... Wasnt long and Im playing chess with Chase as he and Kissinger flew in from China Accords ... So Im eating on ambassadorial silver and Chippendale and i have an arsenal ...oh yeah . The ranch guns are up front . Till the PLO comes parachutimg in ...then theres the button. As i look at the Remmingtons and Russels ... The queen sent us a full length Stienway.. As i sat down to dinner Larry grabs a winchester and says cat on the roof. Dont shoot my dog he found the wood pile hes doing perimeter search on the roof . So as we peeked out from under the porch slobber hit my face and the #1 German shepherd AKC CDX from a retiring LA detective . #1 german shep in US ... Trained not to bite people.. State dept loved it. ... She said my dog is bored gonhave adventures ... So Larry smiled stuck out his hand on the back porch shook hands and said Yer hired Mr Murphy... Oh indid pull up in Ed Marts old detectives car and it was ...impressive. I got lucky. Prescott had Billy Stewart ..#1 shot in the world ... Which meant he had a truckload of Ww2 ammo ...a truckload. To me it meant sore shoulders as we fired the most accurate weapons ever developed. Springfield bolt and an M1 Garand both 30:06 and tumed by the best gunsmith in the world. He was hiding in the alley behind the Kirby Co. on Gurley and Grove ... Had a 55 Gullwing Mercedes parked their since 1955.. it disappeared in the 80s ...So sore shoulders were the day as Billy and I desteoyed rocks all day at various distances ... Wow ! So i got so good nonone ever tried me... Half my graduatimg class cauhht a bullet coming out if the Palace Bar... Old Ralph Chapmam went to town 3 times . Once for WW1 once for ww2 and whwn he was 86 and not worthna shit he said take me to town... He got a room a bottle and a hooker ... He went with a smile on his face. He and Ringo and Len Collins had run Garands and flame throwers up thr Jap islands ...That wasnt enough for Ringo ...He made Chisin Reservoir and fouhht his way out of Korea back to the boat ... He orobably killed more men face to face than any other in history ...He slept with his 44mag cowboy gun. He had the 1905 Winchester 30:06 box clip... Nothing safe within a mile or twomof that guy. Nothing lives.....unless we let it... Ringonshowed me where we bury the rustlers whenni was 12 .Its a very serious business at 8500 feet in Northern Arizona ... But a dirt poor cowboy family got adopted by the rail lawyer and oir family were thrilled to pieces to just breathe the same air . I followed him around like a puppy dog. Suddenly his VA disabilty came in a lump...Gramps is a federal prosecutor with J Edgar on speed dial... Grams isnHuey Longs cousin. Yup got an assasinated presidential candidate in the fam... Which meant Uncle Russel his Hueys son ascended to Senate Finance Chair my first 33... Ringo a simple dirt farmer would made Masonic initiation for my brother and the COG SW Commanders son. You see the Prescott VA had a little secret.. the emergency president of the sw united states was our boss. Chief of Staff Col. Dr. Ben Whitman . Mom became a lietenant and nurse under the nations highest command. Then OSS Wildman at the Historic Comgregational Church threw a preflight in my lap...i was 12 ..i assured him all the way to the airport i hadnt driven a car yet ....off we go. ! We split out of east coast politics after JFK .grams was fkipping out and a for sale sign went up that evening and a few hours later we made the 1964 4th July Bicentenial Rodeo Celebration ...this was a relief. As gramps had my brother on the chair arm and said i would be Jack and my brother Bobby . It wasnt hours and he was deleted. I cant tell you the confusion in my mind... I dont wanna get shot ya know ... So Im the best trained gunman in the world ...and i never shot anybody...talk about survivor guilt ...now inhad a friend in Prescott . When we were 13 we built guncases and took them home . He soon had ruger convertible 22 and the big 44 for his dad who fired the big 15" guns on the Iowa all over the war areas ...He would takenout his watch and lick it and say takes a lickin keeps on tickin ...he wore that watch 25 years. which was amazing ...So i went to his bible studies and he was a good catholic .. So his son got married had four kids and a lazy wife . Lost his job moved backnin with dad... Now his dad had shot himself two yrars in a row and mom weotenit upninnthepaper one year and was his nurse the next . Well..his son came home from work and found dad knofe above his wife trying to kill her ..he reached for the 44 and emptied it.. they gave him time served ... Now i could tell youngood stories about Prescott . My friend blasted trumpet in my ear 7 years became the juvenile judge and helped so many kids and married the prettiest girl in Prescott and had a sack full of kids himself ... Its a world of duality . And we get to choose ...i choose to hear the wind blow and medtate my way into the light and develop God hood . No better way to meet God than on some expedition to nowhere...
Talking while shoveling food into your mouth now that's a class act.
Takes skill

You better get that dude some more food he's starving to death !
I hate snares an frapps
Don't make much sense to sit way up high and have the people that you are interviewing sitting way down low.seems a backwards kind of arrangement for asking somebody you are supposed to respect any questions sitting way up above them looking down on them kinda. At least you know how to keep your own mouth shut and let them talk a little bit.if I was you, I'd get down offa my perch though.
Lol I like to be in a position of authority ….
eating and talking isnt a best idea
It is what it is ... I don't tell him what to do ....lol sorry
