Hound Dog Network - HOUND DOGGIN’ IN WEST VIRGINIA
Wed Feb 04 2026
Gary Knapp says he’s married to the prettiest girl in Big Scary, West Virginia. Steve calls him the Will Rogers of the Appalachians. Bear hunters remember him as an effective president and spokes person for the West Virginia Bear Hunter’s Association. Part woodsman, mountaineer and houndsman, Knapp never fails to entertain with his stories and likewise, never fails to inspire with his dedication to keeping the sport of hound hunting alive for future generations.
Knapp believes upcoming changes to West Virginia laws concerning hunting over bait will be detrimental to the bear population. Steve tends to take the middle ground on the issue but the conversation is no less important to anyone that is concerned with the continuance of black bear hunting in the Mountain State as it reveals all sides of the issue.
Enjoy talk from two mountain men, one in memory, the other in action, as Gone To The Dogs goes hound doggin’ with West Virginian Gary Knapp.
