On this week's episode, I am joined by Mike Hamilton. Mike has been a long-time cur dog enthusiast. He has owned and campaigned a few very well-known Original Mountain Curs as well as served on the Board of Directors for the OMCBA for a number of years. Now in his retirement, he has recently purchased the World Tree Dog Association. The WTDA has been around for over 30 years and in its prime was one of the premier organizations hosting competition squirrel and coon hunts. Mike plans to see the WTDA to its former glory and is already working hard to see it there one day soon!
