Wild valley quail and chukar hunting strategy and tactics are the main topics this week, as I talk with Andy McCormick, executive vice president at Legacy Sports, importer of Pointer Shotguns. Andy walks his talk, spending much of his free time in the field chasing these two iconic western game birds, he's learned a lot and is willing to share.

We'll trade stories about finding birds, calling techniques, and taking care of your bird dog on arduous hunts in desert country. Andy will open his hunting vest and tell us what he carries, he'll rave about his chosen breed, Wirehaired Pointing Griffons, and we'll even learn how hawks can be our best friend in the field.

The "Handle It" segment suggests a way to ensure your dog will execute your command flawlessly by eliminating one simple problem, and listeners will share the highlight of their season ... so far.
