Recorded March 14th at Haymarsh Hunt Club at the end of a weekend of fundraising to renovate and expand the kennels at Second Chance Bird Dogs. Mike Mapes, sponsor Jeff from Field Armor, and handlers join me for a poorly recorded round table in the clubhouse. Contact for 2nd Chance is:

Gerry and I finally were able to connect and chat about his dogs and where the breed has taken him.   Thank you for listening and consider supporting the podcast through Patreon at patreon.com/BirdCamp 

Another Michigan native encouraging participation in many aspects of the outdoors.  

If you hunt with a flushing dog this is a must attend event.  A top quality trainer presenting his system that has true benefits for the hunter.  Give this quick episode a listen.

Andrea and I have had these kinds of conversations before and it's about time BirdCamp was involved.  We wander around conversationally 

for quite a while and jump topics regularly.   Hunting, dogs, conservation, outdoor picture taking, women hunters and shooters, and so much more.

Travis and I could easily talk the night away about hunting.  He seems to be a man that embraces all the right things about hunting's finer things.

We finally were able to get this recording done to wrap up Season 3 for the podcast. There is a lot of detail to consider in this conversation.  As well as how to best promote the flourishing of wild pheasants in a place trying to rebound its wild birds.

Ryan Reddick journeys to Michigan every year to hunt in the U.P. for grouse and woodcock.  Many friends also head to the panhandle of Oklahoma to join him in hunting his beloved quail.

Dennis Stachewitz, Perry Masotti, and David Weaver sit down after breakfast on our last day and conversate about the weeks challenges.

We also head into the proverbial weeds of hunting ethics, slob hunters, and more.  

This is just me going over the lessons learned from camp.  A few stories for good measure as well.
