Customer Reviews
Dusky in the bag
As a solo hunter without a bird dog, this podcast has been extremely helpful. I live in Colorado and mostly hunt waterfowl but wanted to expand and take shot at dusky grouse. The episode with Noah Davis and Ann Jandernoa gave me the knowledge to be successful on my first ever DIY dusky hunt. I love the show and appreciate the information you provide, keep it coming!
Good podcast, mostly
Nick Larson does a great job with his topics and interviews. Larson has some unique subjects and very good guests. Boy do I not like listening to Nick Adair! Adair is on this podcast more and more, and I find myself listening less.
Thanks from Michigan
As someone who has alot of access to grouse habitat this is extremely informative. As someone who also drives across the country to poke at sharpies and chickens, this feels oddly specific to me. Then you get to hear from the dog trainers and guides and hear the input that comes only through multiple breeds, thousands of flushes, and countless amounts of walks through autumn days armed with shells and always heavy dog waters. These guys do a phenomenal job and it shows how much work they really do put into it. Hopefully I’ll see you in some eight year old aspen!
