Brent and I have been friends for many years. So of course we need to sit down and catch up on our season, our dogs, our misses and our hits!

The efforts that go into building relationships and habitat, have come together. The Ruffed Grouse Society and OnX hunt are working on the next chapter of advocacy. What we love as upland hunters can not be taken for granted. I see the next generation of hunters will be the BEST!

And thanks to Kevin and his team across the state, they will continue to have the BEST hunting, fishing and camping reputation in the entire country. We talk about why South Dakota is the number one non-resident bird hunting state and how they are planning for the next hundred years. Oh yeah, and we talk about his dogs and mine.

I am so glad I ran into these guys a couple of years ago. Alberto and Adrian got their start in an unconventional way. Their journey is one that is family based. Family founded and dog centric. Desire and cooperation traits are not canine specific. They are human specific!!

I was able to get Anthony and Will to jump on the show and talk all things shotguns. From their start to the present day. Why we miss and why we could be better! Sure a good dog helps find cripples, but a great shot puts birds in the bag.

Stopping off on my way home from the annual South Dakota trip, I hit some spots with a great group of locals, who welcomed me with open fields, open doors and opened beers. For those of you who say it's all about the dogs.... well, for me it's all about the friends!

On my way home from SD I stopped into the Boss headquarters. While my dog Vee ran from office to office, I brought the recorder into Brandon Cerecke's office and went on a deep dive on all things BOSS from their legecy brand to the new Warchief and a couple others you may not have heard about. It's easy to see why this company has taken over the marshes and the prairies by storm ( no pun intended ;)
