I invited Boss Ammo, Gunner Kennels and Garmin to test their Dog related knowledge. Turns out I needed to make them all multiple choice!!!  Play along and let me know if you got more than 5 correct. You may be on the next one!!

I stopped by Pyke Gear to pick up a few new items, and brought the microphone and beer to catch up with Brent. A few updates on gear followed by a run down of our season so-far with our young pups. never enough time, never enough birds, should be the title of this episode.

I hit a milestone Bday today. So while I was feeling nostalgic, I found an old photo album and it had my first hunting license in it. That brought back a flood of memories, and I wanted to share one with you!

Terry Wilson is running for VP of The North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association. It doesn't happen very often, but occasionally one of the rank and file members steps up to throw their name in the hat. Terry lays out his platform and vision for the future of NAVHDA. Listen up and be able to say "I VOTED"

Two first time bird hunter, drove from Florida to Michigan's UP. why would some try the impossible? Well there is an old saying about something being wasted on the young.... Evan and Amanda had alot of firsts on this trip. Listen up and count the first for yourself!

Trevor Hubbs joins me to talk recruitment. No not,"you" joining the Military, the Military joining you in the fields, woods and lakes of this country that they protect, even after they fight a war!!

Rachel Willard decided to jump into the dog world with both feet! her husband Andrew became her cheering section. It all paid off for the opening season in Montana. So much so, that they just got another pup to add to the family.

Last trip to ND, I kept the recorder on the picnic table. That way those short stories that never make an episode can be saved. This is what we all do and wish we could do again, or forget....

We did this around the kitchen table, while we were on the great plains in search of Sharptails. Congrats to you if your score is higher than Trents???

Greg Blair from Purina joins me in Wisconsin to talk about all the different venues there are for bird dog lovers like us!  This was the day that I ran Tagus in his NA test. Greg got to watch us in the field and water portions then we took a break and chatted about how all the styles of testing and trialing come together.
