In this episode, Garreth and I head out into the Grouse Woods in search of Ruffed Grouse.

This episode contains a few stories of upland bird hunting from my youth, especially when we travel back to Nana and Papa's farm to hunt. Being in that space always makes me nostalgic, and having Garreth around to ask me to share stories is a good excuse to talk about past times spent in the woods with a shotgun and dog. Plenty of tips in this episode on how to hunt upland birds too. 

At the end of the trip, we did find a few birds, but a bit of a blunder occurs with the new shotgun. More accurately, with the owner of the new shotgun.

The Food Afield Podcast is now on YouTube! There are already a few videos there. Over time, we'll put some behind-the-scenes content along with documentary and how-to videos.

An important change to the podcast. Things are still new and evolving here with the Food Afield Podcast. We are enjoying the weekly schedule that we've set for ourselves. New episodes will continue to be released each Monday. Because we have committed to so much content moving forward, along with the difficulty in production because of our format, we will scale back the episodes to 30 minutes and make them more of a series. This way, you can follow along with our year and the outdoor wild food adventures that we go on. Hopefully that makes sense. As always, please get hold of us with any questions, comments or concerns!
