Interview by Amy Thomas_
Coy Sullivan has made a name for himself in the PKC competition world. He has won big hunts and National races but the one thing he has yet to ever win before this year was a cast in the Truck Hunt. For nine years Coy Sullivan has traveled to this event with the dream of just winning his cast but that never happened until now. Once Coy broke his string of bad luck he was going to win his casts all the way to the Final Four.
The Walker gyp that Coy is handling is Wipeout Jessie Jane owned by Brad Mitchell. Brad asked Coy if he would mind handling Jane for him and trying for a truck ticket. The timing was perfect since Coy had just lost his famous winner American Express. Since Coy did not have anything much to run after the humongous loss he agreed. He also fulfilled the goal that month by earning a truck ticket that September.
Since achieving the initial goal that Brad had set for Coy with Jane there have been other successes to follow. Coy got Jane two rounds in the world hunt. He has won several added purses and got in the Pro Showcase in Texas. Coy also earned another truck ticket this past January so Jane is also qualified for the Truck Hunt next year.
Coy traveled to the Isle of Capri Casino hoping to break his bad luck at this event. He knew that he had a dog that was capable if he could catch the right breaks. Coy shared what strengths Jane brings to the cast. He said that she has a squeaky mouth. Though it is not good to hear sometimes it is easy to call. He also said she is like most Wipeout dogs because she opens quickly is almost always to herself and likes to have a coon.
In the early round Jessie Jane and Coy were judged by Mike Hensley and guided by Jerry Hudson. They had drawn Rough Mountain Lizard Track Joe owned by Donnie Bracht being handled by Mark Hall. Also S 40 Shot owned by S 40 Kennel being handled by Chad Callender and Smokey Mountain Faith owned and handled by Dennis Thornhill. Jessie Jane would win her cast with 75 points.
Coy shared how the cast went Jane struck for 50 points out of the truck to the left hand and had a coon by herself. One of the dogs took strike minus on that. Another dog treed for 200 points and when we went to her it was slick. The other two dogs came into that tree and got handled. Jane was treed and she had another coon. The coon was in a den but it was on the outside. We had an hour left to hunt. We pulled off and I struck for 50 points. One dog got in the ground. Another dog came in to the cast and the handler withdrew. Jane and Lizard made a tree and I treed for 75 points. It was slick. That guy also withdrew. It was a two dog cast then. We pulled off. The other dog went into the ground and it was circled. I was struck through the country for 75 points. We walked the minute and listened. They started the six and I could barely hear her. No one can hear Jane but me. Then the wind picked up and the six caught her. The other guy cut his loose dog loose but it never opened again.
In the late round Jessie Jane and Coy were judged by Mike Hensley and Doug Compton and guided by Lonnie Stafford. This time they drew Clippertons Starving Cull owned by
Kiehn and Meyers and handled by Brett Meyers. They also had Slow Talking Pace owned and handled by Preston Hampton. Last they drew Triple Lockdown owned by Tidwell and Moody being handled by Michael Moody.
We turned loose and all the dogs left barking. I struck for 50 points. Lockdown struck for 100 points and Cull struck for 75 points. Pace later struck for 25 points. Jane and Pace went to the left. Lockdown and Cull went to the right. I treed Jane for 100 points. Preston treed Pace for 25 points. Lockdown came into the tree late for 25 points. It was a den tree with a split in it and you could see the coon in the split. We pulled off to where we last heard Cull to recast. Lockdown struck back in for 25 points and we struck back in for 25 points to Cull. Lockdown fell treed and Michael treed him but the two caught him so Lockdown took 100 minus. We start tightening in on the dogs and Preston treed Pace for 100 points. Michael retreed Lock for 100 points. Jane was still on the ground. We could not hear Cull anymore. Pace had a den. We walked the minute and recast. In the process of going to Lockdown, Pace went back to same tree. Lockdown had coon. The two caught Pace. Jane treed to the left by herself. We were in the process of going to Jane when Lockdown treed. Jane had the coon. That was her second coon. We walked and cut her and she cut. Lockdown had a den tree. We walk with 15 minutes left. We heard Jane and cut Lockdown into Jane. We could barely hear her. Preston struck Lockdown back in for 25 points. Jane treed in there and Lockdown treed to the right. I treed Jane for 100 points and Lockdown has to have a coon to beat me so Preston treed him. The hunt would be over by time we get there. We decided to go to Lockdown first because if it was the same tree or if it was a circle tree, there was no way that he could beat me no matter what Jane had. It was a circle. Doug and I went and gathered Jane up.
Wipeout Jessie Jane would win that very important cast with 275 plus. It would not only give Coy Sullivan his second ever cast win down at the truck hunt in nine years but it would put him in the Final Four. Not a bad change in luck. The very ironic thing about it all is that Coy thought that this was going to be his worst truck hunt yet because Jane came down with Erhlichia. He had to have her on antibiotics and put her on rest for two weeks. He was not sure how that would turn out for this event but so far it has turned out pretty well for him. Guess you never really know what to expect in life.
With his success to this point Coy did want to mention some of the people who have backed him. I want to thank my mom and dad for all their support of me. They have been my biggest fans. I want to thank Brad Mitchell. He is a great guy to hunt for and I want to thank him for letting me take her wherever I want to go and supporting me. I could not ask for anybody better to hunt for. I want to thank my cousin Troy for coming down here with me and Derrick Kuroda for coming down today to root us on. When it comes to the Final Four Coy said that the only thing that he will be focusing on is Jane and himself.
Good luck on this possible third cast win in nine years of attending the Truck Hunt. When you have a change of luck you definitely have a change of luck. Jane could be resting up again after such an eventful weekend in the back of a brand new truck as she heads home from Lula, Mississippi.

PKC SCH Stoney’s Swamp Rat’s Son is a Treeing Walker male, owned by Allen Stonecipher of Centrahoma, Oklahoma and handled by Eric Henson also of Centrahoma, Oklahoma. Son’s date of birth is 05-07-2009, he was bred by Armes/Hughes of Fredericktown, Missouri. Son’s sire is GCH Swamp Rat by SCH Rat Attack and SCH Shonuff Mary Jo. Son’s dam is Hicks Buck Creek Molly by Buck Creek Buck and Craddock’s Jill. Son has been previously owned by Bill Bierschwal, Bill Nolan and Armes/Hughes. Eric and Son’s lifetime earnings to this point are $1,337 and $4,131 respectively.
Interview by Amy Thomas_
Eric Henson coon hunted on and off about twenty years ago. He handled some dogs for people and finished some out but never in the PKC registry until here recently. When Eric Henson started working for Allen Stonecipher on a ranch in Oklahoma two years ago he was going to get back into coon hunting and he was going to do it in a completely different way than he had done in the past.
It was in the July of 2012 that Eric was going to start back into the sport and this time the registry that he would be hunting under would be PKC. Allen had him handling a six year old Tequila Sunrise female and Eric not only liked the quality of hounds that Allen Stonecipher owned but he also liked the venue that Allen liked to compete in. Things would explode quickly for Eric in PKC. They were going to get even more exciting when Allen put him on Stoneys Swamp Rats Son.
Allen has owned Son for about a year. He purchased from James Baskins in Tennessee. When Allen first brought him home Eric was hunting that Tequila Sunrise female. Allen was going to change things up though and put Eric and Son together. Son and Eric were in their first hunt on August 8th of 2012. It was in the following month of September that Eric would earn this truck ticket with Son. He attributes the success to the caliber of hound that Son is. Son is a very good dog and well rounded. He is very independent and accurate. Son gives one hundred percent no matter what.
In their short time together Eric and Son have done well. Eric shared that he hunted Son seven days a week at every hunt he could possibly run because the dog has heart. The two did very well in the Little Dixie Jamboree in McAlester Oklahoma. They won their cast and got in the Final four. When the others wanted to hunt it off Eric and Son were the overall winners. .They would also be the overall winners of the two rounds Friday necessary to get to the Final Four to compete for the cosponsored PKC Purina SportDOG and the Isle of Capri Casino brand new Chevy pickup truck from Mitch Smith Chevrolet.
In the early round Son and Eric were guided by Bernie Wright and judged by Jackie Newton. They drew Hillbilly Bone Slayer owned by Shelby and Young and Wilson being handled by Tyler Young. They also drew Poison Harriet owned by Chambers and Cravey and Horne being handled by Michael L Chambers. Also in their cast was Wipeout Hellbillys Image owned and handled by Harold Williams.
Eric shared how the early round went. I had third strike. Bone and Harriet got treed and then my dog got treed about 200 yards from them. When we got to their tree it was a den. We went to Sons tree and there was a coon. Image got treed but left and was minused. From there on it was all den trees for the rest of the night for Son and I.
Rat’s son had 50 plus for the cast win there. That would put him in the late round. In that one Son and Eric were judged by James Tirey and Brendon Toney. They were guided by Terry Dye. This time they went into the woods with Dirty Whiteboy owned by Cochran and Hopkins being handled by Ashley Hopkins. They also drew last years truck winner Hissy Phitt owned by Jeff Barnes and being handled by Eric Piatt. Also in their cast was Chillys Midnight Buddy owned by Cash III and Taylor being handled by Bobby Taylor.
This one was a tight cast for Eric and Son. Eric shared how the cast went for them. It was down to the wire on this one. Phitt and White Boy got first and second strike and got treed. Son and Buddy treed from them. Phitt was minused. White Boys tree was deleted because it had a hole in it and a squirrel came out. Sons tree was circled. Son had third strike again on a den. The other dog struck and had second and fourth and treed with a coon. The Phitt female withdrew after some taking some more minuses. It came down to the last seven minutes of the hunts. My dog was a mile deep when I heard him. We walked a ways and the judge pinpointed him. I said to tree him and Son had a coon there. Son was tied with Buddy but beat him on tie breaker. It had come down to the hunt being over and going fifteen minutes past the time to my dog who had been there about forty-five minutes. The judge had looked straight up and said there he is. I fell to my knees. One guy did not think it was the coon. I got up hit on my squaller and the coon looked at us. It was my most exciting hunt ever.
Stoneys Swamp Rats Son had 100 plus points for the cast win and quite the dramatic ending for Eric on that one. Eric credits this success to Allen. He said that he has to give Allen a lot the credit for all this because he has really good dogs that are independent. He said that Allen loves to pleasure hunt and he just picked up the slack and took off.
Now that he is in the Final Four Eric wanted to mention a few people. I want to thank Larry Clifton because he has played a big role in this. He has pushed me like Allen. He got a club started in Tupelo. We meet each other at every hunt we go to. I want to thank my wife Heidi who came here to support me. We went to Breeders Showcase last year and to the Preston Luft Memorial. She helps me drive and keeps me company.
As for the last cast between Eric and the new Chevy truck what are his thoughts. Eric said I know they are all good dogs. You can look at their titles and look at the magazines and know they are all good dogs. May the best dog tonight win.
For someone who has only been hunting in PKC since last July Eric Henson has started out on top of things. There are a lot of people who have hunted many years who have not gotten to the place where he is right now. Maybe his beginners luck will pay off for himat the Isle of Capri casino and his wife will be following him back home to Oklahoma while he and Son ride in a brand new Chevy pick up.

PKC SCH Mo Phrisky is a Treeing Walker female, owned by Marchant or Horne of Hazlehurst, Georgia and handled by Glynn Horne of Glenwood, Georgia. Phrisky’s date of birth is 02-22-2009, she was bred by Matt Marchant of Hazlehurst, Georgia. Phrisky’s sire is PCH Boogar Hollow Mojo by PCH Davis’ Sty Harry’s Hammer by CH Ball’s Stylish Harry and Ball’s Nite Heat Abby. Phrisky’s dam is GCH Stylish Phret by GCH Skuna River Fred and Hardwood Phree. Phrisky has been previously owned by Pace/Horne. Glynn and Phrisky’s lifetime earnings to this point are $17,852 and $5,802 respectively.
Interview by Amy Thomas_
Out of all the contestants and hound in the Final Four Mo Phrisky and Glynn Horne have the most ties to the Final Four of the PKC Purina SportDOG Isle of Capri Casino Mitch Smith Chevrolet Chevy truck hunt off. Last year Phriskys sister Hissy Phitt won the truck and three years ago Glynn Horne was in the Final Four with Just Call Me Snap. Both hound and handler here have the most connections to this very desirable position at this event.
Glynn and Lynn Horne owned Phrisky since she was a pup. Matt Marchant brought them the spunky little pup off his Mojo Phret cross who earned her name from her bouncy spirit. Glynn and Lynn raised her and got her running and treeing but at eighteen months Matt and Jarvis Marchant came back into the picture. Matt had hunted with her and Jarvis had always had an eye for her and they then took her to continue her training and hunting. Since then she has been in both families names.
Phrisky not only lived up to her name with her personality but also in her hunting style. Glynn shared what strengths this little gyp brings to the woods. She is a good little worker. She does not blow through the country. She will go in there and find a track and play with it and work it. More times than not she has a coon. She is not a fancy coon hound but she is a busy thing. She is just a nice sweet little dog.
That busy style has brought her success. Phrisky has made a lot of Final Fours. She placed second in the Georgia State Race. She is currently in the Top Ten of it this year. She has also been in a lot of added purse Final Fours. Now she is in a very important Final Four. However that almost did not happen.
If you would have told Glynn Horne that he would be sitting in this spot earlier this week he would not have believed you. Glynn is handling for the Marchants who he credits with all of Phriskys success and with her even being at the truck hunt by earning her truck ticket in December. Matts work schedule made it impossible for him to get to the truck hunt and since they live close to the Hornes who had another female qualified they decided to send Phrisky with them. It was decided that Glynn would hunt Phrisky and his twin brother Lynn would hunt Poison Harriet another coowned dog they had qualified. The Marchants sent Phrisky to Glynn a couple weeks ago so he could hunt her and get reaccustomed to her.
Then when an accident occurred in the Horne family with Lynns son this week it did not look like anyone was going to be handling any of the qualified dogs in Lula Mississippi. Glynn shared how things came about. I thought it was best to skip this hunt. At the last minute after we found out that my nephew was doing well my cousin Littlen Chambers and I decided to come. Littlen is hunting our other female for my brother Lynn. We left Friday morning from middle Georgia and came straight out here with not much time to get ready and very little sleep.
Even though they lacked prep time and rest things would end up turning out well for Glynn though each cast he was in would get down to the very end and keep him on edge the entire time. In the early round Glynn and Phrisky were judged by Drake Roberson and guided by Clint Crawford. They drew Trips Hardcore Sissy owned by Coselman and Burkholder being handled by Brandon Coselman. They also drew Dear Abby owned by Lynch and Howell and being handled by Jeremiah Howell. Also in their cast was Stockyards Billy owned by Dunnavant and Floyd and being handled by Danny White Jr.
Glynn shared how the cast went. Most of my casts came down to the wire. You could not write a better script. Brandon was hunting Sissy and it came down to us. Everyone had taken some minuses except for me and I had stayed clean. All I had was some circle points. Brandon had some minus and also some circle points. Phrisky treed and got minused for a slick and Brandon was winning then. Phrisky was behind us treed and Sissy was deep. They scored Sissy and I was waiting at my tree. I knew that if they had a coon he would be winning whether I had a coon or not. It turned out when they came to me that Sissy had a coon. If I had a coon I could get closer but I would still be losing with fifteen minutes left in a hunt that did not have a lot of action going on. I did not think I had good chances. We did have a coon. When we pulled off Sissy was out working and Phrisky went back to her tree and had the stationary on her. I thought that with not much time left that I had better tree her so I could handle her and pull her off. It was my only hope. So I did and cut her off there with five minutes left in the hunt. She went to the dog to the left. She opened so I struck her. I thought that was it but then all of the sudden she threw five tree barks and I thought maybe it was not it. Then she shut up again. Then she did five more tree barks. I saw that there was less than a minute left in the hunt and when she opened again I treed her with thirty seconds left and she had a coon. We found Brandons dog three quarters of a mile away with a coon and if he could have called her he would have won. Mo Phrisky had 150 plus for the cast win.
The next cast would be no less intense for Phrisky and Glynn. In the late round Glynn and Phrisky were judged by Brad Durham and Justin Gobble and guided by David Gregg. They drew Hardwood Icon owned by Bingham and Bingham and handled by Curtis Eldridge. They also had Cottons Carolina Red owned by Wallace and Monroe and Simmons being handled by Chris Simmons. Also in the cast was Cabos Kati owned by Johnson and Clifton and being handled by Billy Johnson. It was going to keep Glynn on edge to the very very last second!
It was starting to flurry. Phrisky struck for 100 points and worked close in. We spent most of hunt walking a mile away to other dogs. A couple of dogs drew minus. In the end it came down to Red and Phrisky. With about 45 minute left they were still hitting some tracks and split up. I had drawn 100 minus because I treed her even though I knew that should not have. With about 30 minutes in the hunt Icon treed and Red treed in behind Icon for 25 points. Phrisky treed the other way. I know if I have a coon I will win the hunt. If I do not have a coon then I will not win unless they are slick. They go to their dogs. The back up judge goes with me to Phrisky and the first thing we saw in the moonlight was that my tree is a big old den tree with no branches. It was broke off at the top. The back up judge says nice den. The other cast members came back to us and they had a coon. The hunt was nearly over. I had to see a coon to win. I found a hole about three quarters of the way up and I shine in it and squall. I thought maybe I should just forget it, but the coon looked out the hole. I called everyone back over because they were standing off at this point pretty much thinking it was a lost cause. They get there and the coon quit looking. They were probably thinking I was just saying it. I kept trying to get him to look out. I heard a guy saying I got him. I had gone from thinking I lost to thinking I had won to thinking I had lost again to thinking I won again. But the judge did not see him so I am thinking I have lost again. Then I go back to squalling and trying and then Brad said that he got him. Now I had truly won. Brad told me that I had used 7 minutes and 47 second used off the shine time. That is how we won the last round. Phrisky won her cast with 100 plus. They were both nail biters.
Now that Glynn has gotten to this point again in his life he wanted to take a moment to thank the people that have helped him get here. I want to thank my wife Amy for her support. We have three children Dawson Gracie and Kyleigh and it is busy and hard to leave them and her. I want to thank all those who are showing me support from back home. There are so many people who have called and texted me. I especially want to thank my partners Corey Cravey and Wendell Smith along with all the other guys I hunt with back home. I want to thank my twin brother Lynn who has always been a part of coon hunting with me. We do not have a chance to hunt like we used to hut but it is still fun when we get the chance. I also want to thank Jarvis and Matt Marchant for all they did to get Phrisky here. They earned the ticket and they did all the work. I owed everything to them.
As for how Glynn feels heading back out for his second Final Four of the truck hunt he shared that he really has not changed how his thoughts about it since being in that first Final Four of the truck hunt. I do not get excited or nervous. It is just another hunt. I think it helps to have been here before because you can take it into perspective better. You also have to handle each dog differently. It really comes down to is it your time and can you get some good breaks. I am in it to win it but I am comfortable just doing the best I can and seeing what happens when it is over.
For a handler and hound that did not think that they were even going to be in Lula Mississippi for this event and did not leave Georgia until early Friday morning at the last minute they have come a long way. The question remains if this second chance for Glynn is the one that will pay off and if Phrisky will live up to her family lineage of truck winning.

PKC CH River Bend Snoopy is a Treeing Walker male, owned and handled by Jeff McCallum of Westphalia, Indiana. Snoopy’s date of birth is 06-22-2009, he was bred by Max Berg of Parker City, Indiana. Snoopy’s sire is SCH Berg’s River Bend Style by PCH Stylish Clover and River Bend Cotton. Snoopy’s dam is Berg’s Hard Knockin Sty Ann by CH Hard Knockin St Hayes and Purvis Sty Hickory Nut Lacey. Snoopy has been previously owned by Larry Raines and McCallum/Raines. Jeff and Snoopy’s lifetime earnings to this point are $9,744 and $3,515 respectively.
Interview by Amy Thomas_
Jeff McCallum started competition coon hunting in PKC around 2000. It was PKC veteran Bud Hood who got the fellow Indiana native involved with the registry. It would not take long for Jeff to like what PKC had to offer. Jeff stated that it was more competitive that any other registry he had been involved in and he liked winning money instead of trophies.
Snoopy is not the first dog that Jeff has had qualified for the PKC Truck Hunt. He and Bud Hood had coowned a dog together that was qualified for the hunt but Jeff was not able to hunt in it due to his job. He was working nights for the mine and had not built up enough vacation days to take off to attend the event. Luckily that was not the case with Snoopy. Circumstances were much better this time.
Jeff bought Snoopy two years ago from Larry Raines. He had met Larry at the hunts and the two had become good friends talking quite often. When Max Berg made the cross of Riverbend Style onto a double Hayes bred female Larry and Jeff decided to partner up on a pup. That pup was Snoopy. The two owned him together as a one year old Super Stakes pup. Snoopy placed in the Top Six of that Super Stakes and afterward Jeff bought out Larrys share of Snoopy.
What Jeff likes about Snoopy is that he is mild mannered and handles super. He also said that Snoopy has a really good mouth. Jeff enjoys hunting Snoopy in the hunts because he is action packed and will get by himself or cover other dogs to get the job done. That style has won Snoopy over 3500 right now and placed him in the Top Twelve of the Indiana State Race. Snoopy earned his truck ticket in October.
Snoopys style has also taken him to this Final Four of this truck hunt. In the early round Snoopy and Jeff were judged by Tommy McQueen and guided by Lonnie Stafford. They drew out with Long Black Train owned and handled by Terry L Bush. They also drew High Dollar Rolln Stone owned and handled by Carson Brewer. Also in the cast was Tennessee Craw owned and handled by Corey Jeffries.
Jeff shared how the early round went for him. Snoopy treed a coon by himself for 175 points but then took 100 minus. The Train dog treed a coon by himself but then treed two possums. Snoopy won the cast with 75 plus points.
The two had now made it into the next round. In the late round Jeff and Snoopy were judged by John Granberry and Drake Roberson. They were guided by Bill Briscoe. They drew Valley Creek Kate owned by Ramsey and Ramsey and being handled by Chace McCaskill. They also drew Tennessee Primetime owned by Corey Sexton and being handled by David Fleming. Also in the cast was Backwater Collector Joe owned by
Smith and Cannon and Vogel and Crites being handled by Jack D Coomer.
This cast was not the most enjoyable for Jeff as a handler. He shared how it went. Snoopy was on a coon with Kate and then Kate treed a slick. The dogs were running in the swamp for the majority of the hunt. It was not very pleasurable. Snoopy won his cast with 100 plus points.
Jeff is one of two handlers in this Final Four to have this be his first trip to the Isle of Capri and to have made it to the Finals. In this position he would like to express some gratitude to the people who have supported him along the way. I want to thank Larry for selling me the dog of course. I also want to thank my wife for letting me hunt four or five nights a week and night and not complaining about it. I really appreciate the support of my family. My dad Tim got me into coon hunting. I also want to thank my friends Tom Chambers and Dick Gamble for helping me get the dog ready for this event.
Jeff McCallum has spent a lot of his time in competition hunting judging and guiding casts. His involvement in the sport may pay off for this Final Four. He has some knowledge of a couple of the dogs in his cast. I judged Jessie Jane in Super Stakes and I drew Phrisky in the late round in Super Stakes. She and I both got beat by Chip.
When asked how he felt about going into the event Jeff said that he felt pretty good because he has been hunting Snoopy since he was a year old and now he is three and a half years old so Jeff feels that he knows the ins and out to him. Jeff is hoping that Snoopy gets off to himself and is hoping for the best.
No matter how things turn out for Jeff McCalllum though he will be going home feeling very accomplished. He said that a fourth place win will make Snoopy a Silver Champion and that alone would make him very happy. It would be an added bonus though if Jeff had a new truck because he said that he could really use one. You can bet that he and Snoopy are going to give it their best to bring the Chevy truck home to Indiana.
The thing about the Pup Shoot Out is that you get to see some of the brightest futures in PKC competition coon hunting come together and battle it out. There are a lot of first time handlers here in the Final Four and there are also some hunters and hounds who have overcome bad luck to end up in this much desired position. We at PKC wish all of them the best of luck as they try to bring home the new extended cab Chevy pick up from Mitch Smith Chevrolet cosponsored by PKC, Purina, SportDOG, and the Isle of Capri Casino.
