You are one lucky so-and-so. Great dog, friends in the field, tolerant spouse, incredible hunting spots. This soon-to-be annual podcast celebrates it all as we give thanks for everything to do with bird hunting.

Your comments, ideas, photos, add to the season's wonderment, warm feelings, and fuel our constant state of gratitude. But I'll also offer a tech tip that might be of use to you on your next road trip.

And it's all brought to you by: Sage & Braker Mercantile, LandTrust.com, HiVizSights.com, Pointer shotguns, @midwayusa, #midwayusa, MidwayUSA, Mid Valley Clays and Shooting School, TrulockChokes, HiViz shooting systems, Purina Pro Plan Sport and FindBirdHuntingSpots.com.
