The Best
My favorite bird hunting podcast bar none. Nick is truly a blessing for both the bird hunting community and the outdoors.
Great Podcast!
Great Podcast! I started listening back when it was the Project Upland Podcast as a beginner to Grouse Hunting. Very informative!!!!
Part two Hunting Roughed Grouse….
Holy smokes, what a level of intensity! Podcast on steroids for sure. Maybe it’s just me, but I felt overwhelmed with all of the data and information given. I need to take a breather before the next episode. Love the topics, especially the guns. Keep up the awesome work!
