It's easy, and ultimately helps preserve the habitat and our legacy. But it's up to all of us to find and recruit the next generation of bird hunters. We'll learn how with two of the best in the business: Ashley Chance is Hunting Heritage Programs Manager for Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever; Justin Morrisey oversees the National Shooting Sports Foundation's +One program. We'll cover the existential need for funding via hunters' and shooters' spending, then talk theory and practice from identifying potential recruits to resources available to us and them for getting involved in our sport. "Fix It" is about not thinking when shooting - it's too late! And listeners sound off on their command words and why they use them - especially some of the more common ones.

Welcome. more access = more hunters = more conservation.

Why this website? Find bird hunting spots ... sounds easy, but it's more complicated than the statement above, with a lot of moving parts. But it's also absolutely true. Lack of accessible land is the biggest reason many of us quit hunting or never start in the first place. My hope is this website will help - because without hunters, there is virtually no conservation.

But that's not all ... there's the country's most widely-distributed upland hunting TV show, a podcast, educational video library, and weekly newsletter full of fun and information (sign up below).
