We finally were able to schedule this recording and it was a very informative conversation. How the hunting community is viewed by nonhunters is a frequent thought topic of mine and Nick was able to bring some useful and encouraging statistics.

After two seasons talking about the whats and hows of grouse hunting. We switched it up and tapped into the decades of experiences accumulated by these gentlemen. This is the kind of conversation that makes a camp more than just about hunting. I hope you enjoy.

This is the 5th Stories recording. All are available on Patreon but every 5th reading I'll drop here as well. This episode involves Jon Osborn and Allen Crater with some newer outdoor writings. Enjoy!

This is the first time bringing the mics to my camp. It was a good time and the conversation was fun.

Uncle Grouse approved of me bringing microphones along to Bonasa Bonanza II and I was able to walk around the campfire colleting a few thoughts and answers to street interview questions. As you will tell it was a great event and a benefit to both the participants and volunteers.

A quick couple of readings from The Hunters Fireside Book by Gene Hill. Not all of these will appear in the podcast episodes but they will all be on the Patreon feed for supporters at any amount.

Scott Brosier owns and operates Pine Hill Gun Dogs. I stopped by the kennel to chat about getting older dogs ready for the season and introducing an older dog to hunting. We also covered some repeat BirdCamp topics of safety and manners.

Scott was nominated by a mutual friend Dave to talk with me about grouse camp and all the usual topics. It went exactly as expected.
