    E 196. Chasing birds with Kali Parmley

    E 196. Chasing birds with Kali Parmley

    We're excited to have our friend, Kali Parmley, back on the show today. As the editor of Gundog Magazine and host of our favorite tv show, Wild Upland, it's no surprise that Kali is an awesome storyteller and bad-to-the-bone hunter.
    We catch up with Kali and hear about her first time at SEWE (a Lone Duck favorite) and how her hunting season was this past year. Kali hunts all over the place with her dogs and is truly one of the most dedicated bird dog lovers we know. We also get to hear about how Kali's dog is learning, getting more bird contacts and really becoming a fine dog. As if she couldn't be any cooler, she has both a lab and a setter.

    Do yourself a favor and watch her show and give her a follow on the ol' Instagram.

    E 195. Grouse hunting with English Setters

    E 195. Grouse hunting with English Setters

    Tonight we have the pleasure of welcoming back our buddy, Kyle Warren, from Paint River Setters. We had Kyle on the show a few episodes ago and felt like we didn't get enough of him so he is back and we talk for a while about anything and everything. We begin the show discussing grouse hunting, what's great about it, what trees to look for, types of covers and the difference between lake states and NY hunting. All of that is basically enough educational content for one episode but we keep talking through what birds eat and when, the type of gear Kyle has punished over the years, finding covers, using onX and other maps and then we rapid fire some fun questions at him. Take some notes, there's a lot to digest in this one.

    Kyle is a fantastic storyteller and the man knows more about grouse, and good grouse dogs, than anyone I've ever met. A big thank you to Kyle for hanging out with us and trading a few stories. If you're looking for some more information about Kyle, his dogs or grouse hunting... check him out at the link above. Cheers!

    E 194. Hardworkin' working dogs at Orvis

    Today we have the pleasure of speaking with our buddy John Carpenter from Orvis Sandanona. For the past decade, John has been running driven hunts and tower shoots and he is the man behind the dogs for all of it. John is a passionate dog guy and his dogs are hard working, blue collar workers that retrieve like a hundred birds per hunt. They're absolutely fantastic to watch and always seem to know how to dig out a crippled bird, no matter where it'd hidden itself. We talk with John about his time working at Orvis, what it's like to be in charge of the hunts, what it's like training his dogs, hunting with good dogs vs great dogs and a whole lot more. John is a wealth of knowledge and it's great catching up with him. We'll have him back on the show again for sure. Plus, if you're looking for some help with your dogs or want to learn more from John, check out his site here.

    E 193. You Should Know Barrows Outdoors

    Today's podcast is special because we sit down to chat with McGehee and Michael from Barrows Outdoors. If you haven't heard of them, then check out their store and definitely check out their whistle... it's the only one we use at Lone Duck because it's that good. In this show, we hear about the guys and how they got into the dog world, how they develop their products and how Michael has had (what must seem like) 500 dogs. These are two extremely passionate dog trainers and entrepreneurs and you're going to love this episode.

Episode 173

This podcast is reflective of your substantial growth as a host. The guest was brilliant and you gave him latitude to communicate with the audience. You made appropriate parallels to the gundog community, but let him speak specifically with regard to his experience. Thank you for the show and keep up the good work!

Ep. 156: Best ecollar podcast ever!

18 year trainer of dogs here. Protection sports, not knowledgeable about bird dogs. BUT, this was the best round up discussion on why you should use an ecollar: the ultimate in safety training and the improved confidence and freedoms a well trained ecollar dog enjoys when off leash are paramount. No other tool can do this.
A perfect podcast for beginners to learn exactly how to condition your dog to an ecollar and have your dog love it.
