The Orvis Hunting and Shooting Podcast

Several years ago you had Kristi Noem on the show talking about pheasant hunting in South Dakota. Your interview of her was nice, non-political and I recall she talked about her dogs, the farm where she also hunts, and training dogs. Given her revelation that she shot a GSP puppy because it wasn’t responding to training and went after a chicken, is there anyway you can make a statement about how she should have re-homed the dog, hired a qualified trainer, or returned the dog to the breeder rather than shooting it? Don’t think you or Orvis want to be seen as endorsing that kind of activity. Otherwise, great podcast.

This podcast promotes the commercialization of bird hunting. IMHO, that will contribute to the death of the sport as we know it and as our ancestors perceived it. DIY only! We don’t need more nimrods, we need more habitat and better outdoor ethics. Late season roosters epitomizes some of the worst.

Regarding the downward trend of shooting skills among the apparently all male south TX quail hunting set over the years: “I blame the wives.” Super hilarious joke. Give me a break. Nothing like being totally excluded and even chastised from our hunting community that gives constant lip service to diversity and bringing in new demographics. Giant eye roll.

Reid’s blend of stories, guests, and good old fashioned gun and gun dog talk is such a pleasure for anyone involved in the uplands in America. The occasional focus on outdoor literature has also turned me on to a whole new way of enjoying this space. side note: I’m pretty surprised at some of the sporadic negative reviews on here. I’ll just say that if you cosplay G.I. Joe on the weekends this podcast probably isn’t for you. This is more of a blued steel and walnut kind of scene.
