Discover how a visionary young man
decided from an early age
that his career would not be restricted
by the established expectations of a society.
Know how this decision
led to the creation of The Sporting Life Notebook;
the Georgia-based organization continuously engaging in
a rich collection of sporting initiatives;
all with the hopes of creating curiosity
amongst unexplored, nontraditional markets
and welcoming them to the outdoors.
Understand how today,
these newly arrived enthusiasts
believe had it not been for The Sporting Life Notebooks’ commitment
to expose them to the invaluable experiences
found in a sporting life,
they may have never lived the outdoor activities
they are devotedly engaging in today.
By doing so, The Sporting Life Notebook
is bringing new generations & participants to the industry.
In turn, this new blood is enjoying activities
they never knew possible,
while bringing in fresh perspectives;
perspectives ensuring our sporting traditions,
wildlife, & habitat will be here tomorrow.
And in the end,
The Sporting Life Notebook’s belief
of never allowing deeply rooted stereotypes
to dictate what one will become or enjoy,
is inspiring thousands to learn more about & be part of,
our outdoor community;
a community whose richness will always be directly linked
to the diversity found in its members,
ideas, & opinions.

Customer Reviews
Great podcast
Durrell is just a real guy living with and learning from his dogs. For a guy like me who is training his first dog with aspirations of building his own kennel of retrievers (not even pointers) I learn something from EVERY podcast. His is must listening for me.

When people come to a “birddog” podcast, we don’t come to hear your politics.
