    Chasing Birds Across America: Jeff Hotz on Bird Dogs, Big Country, & Life on the Prairie

    From the dove fields of South Texas to the wide-open prairies of the American West, Jeff Hotz has turned a lifelong passion for hunting into a way of life. Jeff grew up hunting deer, dove, and quail before finding his competitive side in sporting clays during college and again in his 40s. But it wasn’t until his 50s that bird dogs truly changed the game. What started with a Brittany and two-week hunting trips to Kansas eventually evolved into month-long adventures across the prairie. The addition of a Deutsch-Drahthaar gave him the horsepower to tackle even bigger country. Since stepping into semi-retirement as a tech entrepreneur in 2020, Jeff has taken his passion to another level. Today, he spends September through December chasing birds across nine prairie and western states, followed by January and February pursuing quail throughout the South. In this episode, we dive into Jeff’s hunting journey, the dogs that helped shape it, the lessons learned along the way, and what keeps him coming back to the prairie year after year. We also explore HuntIntel.info, a resource Jeff created to help hunters navigate season dates, regulations, bag limits, and licensing information across states.
