128. What is Force Fetch and Why Do It? (Force Fetch 1) Mar 08, 2022

Show notes

In part 1 of our Force Fetch series we have Josh Flowers join us to discuss what exactly Force Fetch is and why should we even consider going through such a retrieving program. We also discuss the important factors for someone brand new considering starting such as common questions or errors, timing, place, and equipment.

This is just the first part of many in a series that we will be putting out over the coming weeks that we hope really breakdowns every aspect of Force Fetch. Its our goal that we provide a much better understanding of Force Fetch rather than just discussing the individual steps. Please keep any questions you may have as the series comes out because there will be a Q & A after all of the episodes!

127. Shed Dogs Mar 01, 2022

Show notes

Its that time of year again where we are no longer chasing birds but its still a little too early to go target Turkey. So what are we supposed to do to help pass the time with our dogs? Give shed hunting a try! Jeremy Moore of Dogbone joins us to discuss everything shed dogs. We break down some different drills and tips to help train your dog to not only pickup sheds when stumbled upon but to actually start searching for them. You'd also be surprised at how much training such as this translates and bleeds over into our other training goals! This is a fun activity that I personally look forward to every year. Its a very relaxed way to get out with your dog to get some exercise and search out new hunting cover for next Fall!

125. Savannahs and Grasslands Feb 15, 2022

Show notes

Can you imagine hunting Prairie Chickens in Tennessee? A long time ago you wouldn't have had to imagine as they used to be plentiful on the landscape. Throughout generations, the mismanagement of our lands and habitat have resulted in different regions becoming unrecognizable to what they once were. The Southeastern Grasslands is just one example of these unrecognizable ecosystems that have been replaced with unhealthy and aging forests. Kyle Lybarger of the Native Habitat Project and Jeremy French of QF and SGI join me this week to discuss this historical landscape and the current challenges we see in present day. If we aren't careful and proactive, we will eventually lose one of the historical staples of the upland world in TN: The Bobwhite Quail. Take a second and really think what it would be like to not hear that whistle come spring time. This is a great reminder to not become complacent when it comes to protecting wildlife habitat. What's it mean for us as bird hunters or our bird dogs if there aren't any birds to chase?
