15: Dogs, Coons, And 40 Years On Lake Erie With Randy Woolum (Ohio)
Randy Woolum has seen it all. From running bird dogs across the Midwest to hauling in monster walleye on Lake Erie, his stories come laced with grit, humility, and a lifetime outdoors. Raised in a family that depended on hunting and fishing for supper, Randy cut his teeth trapping groundhogs, running a cur dog after school, and later coon hunting to help pay for Christmas.
In this episode, he sits down with Mitchell to swap tales about coon fights gone sideways, the heartbreak of losing a world champion bird dog, and the sheer joy of training English pointers to lock up on wild coveys. They dig into thermal coyote hunts, long days on Lake Erie chasing steelhead and smallmouth, and the hard lessons learned running dogs in unforgiving country.
This isn’t about fame or glory—it’s about tradition, family, and the bond between a hunter and his dogs.
Listen in and let Randy’s stories take you back to cold mornings, cut-up boots, and the sound of a coon dog on a hot track.
