A peek into the operations of a leading choke tube maker, and insights into the need for a new non-profit to help bird dogs - and their owners. This week in our periodic "Industry Insider" series, Scott Trulock of <a href='https://trulockchokes.com'>Trulock Chokes</a> joins us to delve deep into their manufacturing process, materials, engineering, and he previews the company's newest project - a classic .22 cal. rifle. Scott also talks choke tube selection for various birds, matching choke size to non-toxic ammo, and offers shooting tips.
Then Jim Burris, founder of the <a href='https://birddogsociety.org'>Bird Dog Society</a> explains why there's a need for his relatively new organization. Filling unfilled niches, and helping dogs and their owners lead richer, more fulfilling lives together is the overall goal. But there's much more to this growing group, including a clever, more-inclusive and fun field trial format plus help with a number of topics not addressed by other groups.
"Road Trip" answers a listener question on finding places to hunt where motorized traffic is minimized; and we find out how many of you hunted out of state last season.

Insiders talk bird hunting chokes, enriching your and your dog's lives ... and what about those off-road vehicles?

The "first couple" of bird dog training joins us from the floor of the 2024 Pheasant Fest: Ronnie Smith and Susanna Love cover all things puppy development, from mindset to introducing birds, getting pup ready for gunfire and introducing steadiness. They have some fascinating insights into how a dog thinks and how we should alter our own thinking as a result when training these "little domestic predators."
Then, for older dogs, we talk retrieving, more steadiness work, and why they don't teach "sit." We'll get the reasoning behind whoa posts and flank collars, from these incredible trainers, hunting guides, and all-around wonderful people.
The "Handle It" segment answers a question from Tim Wright on why his young dog was startled by birds - and what to do about it; and we total up the number of dog breeds we've hunted with over the years ... your count and mine!

Back to Pheasant Fest for an in-depth tutorial on everything from dog training to sharptail hunting from two guys who hunt hard and often: Trevor Walz and Tom Dombroski of LandTrust.com. For fun, to scout new properties, a little guiding, and to work a long string of dogs, these guys are on the ground all season and have a couple lifetimes of experience. We'll cover habitat, tactics, dog care and more.
"Handle It" touches on the importance of collecting dead birds ... and listeners chime in on how important a limit is to them and why.

Pro's talk hunt strategy & tactics, habitat and dog care

What is the meaning of death? Gotcha! You thought I'd ask the meaning of life. Okay, we'll address both, within a hunting context, thanks to <a href='https://www.grossmanacademy.com/about-the-colonel'>Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, </a>one of three authors (with Linda K. Miller and Capt. Keith A. Cunningham) of the new book ON HUNTING ... A definitive study of the mind, body and ecology of the hunter in the modern world.
A former U.S. Army Airborne Ranger, Dave's combat experience, experience training military and tactical teams, and as a hunter combine in this book that will make you think about why we do what we do. He and his writing team's take on hunting is comprehensive and thought-provoking, addressing why we hunt, how our dogs fit into the equation, and why hunting is perhaps more important in this "civilized" world than ever before.
Ever think of yourself somewhere besides the top of the food chain? Dave explains why we aren't, and how it affects everything we do in the field, under pressure, and in life.
Anti-hunter in the family? Vegetarian at your dinner table? Dave has suggestions on how to carry on a conversation with them as you take pride in your chosen passion.
Listeners share their best hunt of the season and why it was spectacular, and the "Handle It" feature tips you to calming your dog for better training.
