  1. Field Notes: Raising Better Bird Dogs | Steve Notebaert

    Field Notes: Raising Better Bird Dogs | Steve Notebaert

    In this episode of the InCamp Podcast, we’re talking bird dogs — how to pick one, how not to ruin one, and what actually matters when you’re raising an upland hunting dog. Steve walks through why he chose a Vizsla, how he fell back in love with grouse hunting, and what it was like getting his first pointing breed after growing up around family dogs. We get into breeder research, expectations, field trial vs meat dog goals, and the reality that most people aren’t training the dog — they’re training themselves. We talk about gun introduction mistakes, why no dog is born gun shy, why short sessions beat marathon training days, and why bonding outside of hunting might be the most important thing you do. We also compare running a 10-year-old Vizsla next to my 2-year-old French Brittany — and how instinct shows up when you least expect it. If you’re picking a puppy this spring or thinking about getting into upland bird hunting, this episode will save you time, money, and frustration. Decide your goal before you buy the puppy (field trial dog vs hunting dog). Budget for training help — you’ll pay for it one way or another. Short sessions. Low expectations. High consistency. Gun introduction is not something you “figure out.” Bonding matters as much as bird work. Instinct is real — you just shape it. https://www.instagram.com/stevenotebaert/?__d=1%2F https://www.instagram.com/birddogcustomwoodwork/

    Comprehensive Musky Fishing Guide | Kyle Friedges Ep. 52

    On this episode of InCamp, I sat down with Kyle Friedges to talk all things musky fishing—the obsession, the grind, and the moments that keep you coming back. Musky fishing isn’t for the impatient. It’s long hours, blown opportunities, and figuring out fish that seem to have a different personality every single day. Kyle walks through how his fishing techniques and fishing strategies have evolved, what separates anglers who occasionally hook one from the guys who consistently move fish, and why true fishing confidence only comes from time on the water. We get into reading water, understanding pressure and weather, dialing in fishing gear, and why the figure eight technique flat-out matters if you’re serious about catching muskies. Kyle also talks about filming his fishing adventures to break down mistakes and sharpen execution—something more anglers should probably be doing. This one’s about growth. About learning from missed fish. About stacking small wins until they turn into real opportunities. And about the tight-knit fishing community that makes the grind worth it. If you’re into fishing stories, improving your fishing tips, and building confidence in your system—this episode is for you. The thrill of musky fishing is the bite—everything else is earned. Time on the water beats theory every time. Every musky behaves differently—adaptability wins. Master the figure eight or lose fish at the boat. Filming your fishing experiences exposes mistakes you don’t see in real time. Confidence in baits comes from commitment, not constant switching. Pressure and conditions dictate feeding windows more than most anglers think. Community sharpens skills faster than fishing alone. https://www.instagram.com/kylefriedges/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/beyondthe8outdoors/?__d=1%3Futm_source%3Dig_embed! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCY8_9NT1ef3mFDnjFbeUKGw/videos

    Earning it in the Back Country | Josh Kirchner Ep. 50

    In this episode of InCamp Podcast, I sit down with Josh Kirchner and we dive headfirst into bear hunting, backcountry preparation, and what keeps us coming back to public land year after year. Josh talks about how his passion for hunting started young and evolved into a deep respect for wildlife, conservation, and the storytelling that surrounds hunting culture. We get into bow hunting bears, risk assessment in the backcountry, and why preparation — mentally and physically — matters more than any piece of gear. We also talk about the reality of public land hunting. It’s challenging. It’s unpredictable. And it forces you to get comfortable with failure. Bears are stealthy, agile, and flat-out impressive animals. The thrill isn’t just in the shot opportunity — it’s in the chess match. We hit on social media expectations, keeping things simple, culinary surprises like bear meat becoming a household staple, and why new hunters should prioritize experience. Preparation beats hype — especially in the backcountry. Public land hunting rewards grit and punishes shortcuts. Bears are incredibly stealthy and demand respect. Social media doesn’t show the failures — but failure builds real hunters. Experience > trophies, especially for new hunters. Risk assessment matters more than bravado. Bear meat is underrated and absolutely worth the effort. Hunting is a therapeutic reset from modern life. ⁠https://dialedinhunter.com/⁠ ⁠https://www.instagram.com/dialedinhunter/⁠ ⁠https://www.youtube.com/dialedinhunter
