Three decades of public-land hunting distilled down to one podcast ... yeah, I learned the hard way so you don't have to. I'll cover everything from finding it, planning and research, to hunting walk-in and public property for Phasianus colchicus, the ringnecked pheasant. From travel tips to tactics for overcrowded parking areas, habitat hints and coping with bad weather, I've dug deep into my notes and compiled a few dozen suggestions you might want to consider if you're traveling this season. You'll get some states, regions and towns to start in ... then, it's up to you.

"Handle It" extols the virtues of food treats - not just for pups ... and we look at last season's scorecard: how many wild birds did YOU shoot?
