Videos and podcasts

Let's start planning your next road trip. In the first part of this series, we'll explore (literally and figuratively) the nuts-and-bolts of finding and making the most of public access hunting grounds. From narrowing your search, to obtaining local intelligence, some practical tips on what to do in advance and once you've arrived, and how to get the most out of a general area and specific spot, I'll share my experience in hopes you don't have to learn like I did - the hard way. "Fix It" offers a puppy night-time potty tip, and listeners share their memories on great starts to a season and end of a hunt day.

Here's 90 of them in my new e-booklet: https://findbirdhuntingspots.com/shop/ols/products/when-all-else-fails--wingshooting-tipsips on everything from caring for your dog to shooting better. They're compiled from conversations with pro guides, hunting partners' advice, friends' suggestions, and my own hard-won experience (I'm not bald, though from all the lessons, I should be). Somewhere in here is something you never knew, should have done, could do next season, or might share with someone else.

I cornered Dr. RuthAnn Lobos of Purina (@petvetruthann) on the floor of the recent Pheasant Fest and asked her how we avoid late-night, long-distance, and simply annoying reasons we need to rush our dog to the veterinarian. She rattled off a long list of first-aid and dire medical situations, and how to handle them until we can get to a vet. Then, she shared ways we can avoid most of those trips (and expenses) with preventive care. From torn nails to diet, eye injuries to barbed-wire cuts, she covers it all. Thanks to Pyke Gear for hosting the podcast at Pheasant Fest!

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).
