The guys sit down with Tony Smith and Aaron from Red Cedar Retrievers to break down what it’s like running your very first hunt test. Tony shares how he went from barely knowing what a winger is to passing his first tests, what went right, what went sideways, and the rookie lessons learned along the way. From holding blind wrestling matches and the “junior scoop” trick to handling real flyers and sticking to standards, it’s an honest look at training a gun dog while balancing family life, T-ball games, and a full plate. If you’ve ever wondered what to expect when you step to the line for the first time — or just want to feel seen about your own hunt test screw-ups — this episode’s for you.
