Chukar hunter, mentor, and my good friend Eric Thompson joins us from the floor of Pheasant Fest to talk about his effort to recruit and motivate new hunters, Hardwired Outdoors . Then, it's all about chukar hunting: habitat, bird behavior, strategy and tactics, and how to find - and shoot at - the "devil bird."

We'll look at how many of you have used a pro trainer in the past ... and in the Handle It segment, I broach a somewhat-touchy subject: silence or talk when a dog slams a point?
