Videos and podcasts

Phil Puckorius and Dominic Grossi are avid hunters and the chief and assistant chief instructors for the National Sporting Clays Association ... who better to help us hit more birds? They've got theory and practice to share ... from "reading" the bird in flight to shotgun fit, foot position to a version of "follow-through" that actually works. We go into the deep woods for shooting tactics on ruffies and woodcock, and sit in a duck blind for a bit. Phil and Dom offer practice strategies for bird hunters at the range, too. Where does a mirror fit into your shooting success? You'll have to listen. "Fix It" helps you take control once a bird is pointed, and listeners and viewers chime in on their longest road trips. You can watch the video version of this podcast on Field & Stream TV Saturdays at 10:30 p.m. eastern/7:30 p.m. Pacific on any smart TV, Roku, and other streaming services.

Always the bridesmaid, never the bride ... Huron plays second fiddle to many of the marquee pheasant hunting towns in South Dakota. But that's one reason it should be on your shopping list: less attention means fewer hunters. Add a mixed bag and massive number of public-access acres, and you might want to take a look Here's my admittedly-biased perspective on a town I've visited a lot, hunting for work and play.

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).
