Bird Camp

Todd Agnew and Craney Hill Kennel are a big presence in the Spaniel world. I'm glad to have him on the podcast talking about the handlers and experiences beyond the usual training topics. This conversation would be a great fit in camp lounging around the dinner table.

I had Ben on the podcast 2 years ago and it was time to catch up and talk birds, habitat, and what PF is working on next. There is some good news for pheasants, bird hunters, sharptails, and woodcock?

A bit of fun from the Society of the American Side by Side Shotgun Spring Classic. This is the second year that I've issued the Axis Challenge to raise money for habitat. It's a 5 dollar gentleman's bet based on a number of scores throughout the days shooting. I was easily beaten by every taker of my challenge. I picked up the microphones after that and made my way around the clubhouse and campfire securing a number of street interviews with some of the participants. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/birdcamp/support

This isn't your typical grouse and woodcock episode. If you have wanted to travel for hunting opportunities further abroad LandTrust may be an option to try. Nic and I highlight how his company can help you enjoy your days afield and some of the changing trends in private land access. I hope you find the conversation as thought provoking as I did.

Dennis, Dave, Perry, and myself took most of a week to pursue grouse and enjoy conversation. We took a little time before departing to discuss the week and sum up a few of our thoughts.

An unusual solo start to this episode and a guest joining me later on. I start by addressing the reason why we don't hunt covers at the same time and Nate reflects on some of the benefits of camp. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/birdcamp/support

I found Landon on social media in a group called Michigan Grouse Camps. Having only hunted birds for 5 years, he offered a different perspective from the long years many more hunters have.

Larry is the new guy at RGS in Michigan and is the forestry coordinator. We spend a lot of time on the many ways to manage a forest and then devolve into a bunch of nerd stuff.

Kevin and I talk about running dogs in wild bird trials and the differences between hunting and trials.
