We're back on the floor at Pheasant Fest, talking with the editor of Pheasants Forever's magazine, Tom Carpenter. Tom will explain how and why he chooses the stories he does. Then we get deep in the cattails talking about his own hunting calendar, and he offers tips on hunting and dogs garnered from his decades in the field.

The Road Trip feature returns on a rotating basis, this week covering a mixed-bag public-access destination in Kansas. Listeners share what they'll be shooting at next, and I've got a tip for cold-weather training.
