Matt Rinella started a podcast to voice his opinions on a problem that many of us experience, but not many talk about. Matt started Hunt Quietly to be a voice, and to give a voice to those who think its getting harder to find hunting spots. But that's not all he is concerned  about. Listen to an opinion that you may, or may not agree with!

Dr Sarah Love is a Sports medicine Veterinarian. We talk about all the things we (you and I) don't do with our K9 athletes. Warm-ups cool-downs and stretching. That's right! maybe we could develop a simple per hunt routine that could help get a little more out of the creatures that we ask so much of!

We also talk about the onset and maintenance of Osteoarthritis, and what we can do about it.

My friend Jill was in the Valley this week. We took our dogs on a walk and swim and the conversation that developed was worthy of hitting the record button. Jill spends half of her year traveling to learn from some of the best trainers in the country. Then she applies it to her string of bird dogs while she guides hunts at otter Creek Farm and Distillery in Georgia. Just a great conversation that only dog people can enjoy!

It took some selective breeding about 60 years ago, but they got what they were looking for in Hungary. We just wrapped up a weekend in Wisconsin, learning some training methods that were new to me. But in the end, there are many roads that lead to success.

My daughter Jessi joins me to talk about our family, our dogs and her career path. As a Registered Dietitian, wife and mother. Jessi is taking those skills to the world of teaching and podcasting. Her show is called Kitchen Invitation. We talk about everything from Archery to Avocados and why she still loved some of my dogs that didn't love her cats.

More of my conversation with Max about the DD and why I may need one someday. But dont worry I have a new Cocker to get trained first! 

I finally sit down with a DD owner, breeder and club member.

And I did not have to brush up on my German. Max and his wife live and love the breed and the club that comes with it!  VDD-GNA is a group that sticks to the traditions that gave us many of the breeds that we hunt with and brag about today.

Gunner Kennels engineer, Colton, found a job that justifies having a kennel full of bird dogs. One of the many ( dog crazy) employees that makeup the staff of the worlds safest dog crate.

I stopped in Nashville to talk with Addison Edmonds. We talk about his new pup and his first pup. "Gunner" was Addisons college project. He was also why Gunner Kennels was created. We talk about dogs, children, and how that all keeps us grounded in the lifestyle that we love!

What happens when you meet  a retired Marine Corp General? You talk bird dogs, and hunting of course. I had the pleasure of spending a morning in the quail fields with Walt Boomer. Along with meeting his beloved GSPs later in the evening. A day I will remember for a long time.

Scott Miller is the resident trainer at Brays Island. Before that his dogs earned more than 700 placements in field trials. he was the NBHA Open Handler of the year for 15 consecutive years. Starting out with training and competing and wining in the Coon Dog World Championships. He then took the NBHA trial world to a new level.

Jess Johnson from Wyoming Wildlife jumps on the podcast to ask listeners to help. Help can come from in many forms. We need you to act, not just listen, ACT. Go to wyomingwildlife.org and stand up for our most iconic species of upland bird. The Sage grouse stands for wild places and only you can help preserve this bird.

Domenico is a resident of Brays Island SC. but his history covers a life in Italy, Africa, and finding heaven in the good old USA. He brought his Pointer from South Africa to the states and never looked back!

This one is just a short rant about how people who live in glass houses throw stones.

Oliver Burgess is a sportsman in the United Kingdom. He is not a member of the royal family, but he is (like us)  a member of the fraternity of upland hunters that do everything they can to keep the passion and lifestyle intact for the next generation.

It's been a few years since Seth paid us a visit. Updates on a well traveled season, some old dogs, some new dogs and a grocery bag full of Michigan craft beers, makes for a great episode on a cold Michigan afternoon.

Jill Koran spends her summers traveling the country. With a truck full of dogs, a fifth wheel camper and buddy to share the road with, They meet trainers, hunters, breeders and work their dogs along the way. She is on a grail quest to explore the world of bird dogs.

Bob St.Pierre joins me to talk about his last season and the upcoming event in Omaha. After a year of closures for public gatherings, Pheasant Fest and Quail Classic is returning. This event is like no other in the bird dog world. Hell, it's like nothing else in the universe!! I hope to see you all out there this March 11-13.

Way before the pointing dogs emerged, the dogs that could track, made the pack. To this day there is a primal connection to our past as hunter-gatherers. The Houndsmen of today are keeping the traditions alive. Might be lions, bears, fox or raccoons, no dogman works harder at their passion. Jason and Brett are two genuine sportsmen,and good story tellers!

Sean Rogers from Patriot Retrievers joins me to talk about his favorite dogs and his favorite pastime. Hunting has always been his passion, but competing in tests and trials has its own addiction! Why do we do this?? because hunting seasons just aren't long enough.

A little closet cleaning getting everyone up to speed and prepared for the New Year and all that it will bring to the show. Topics include getting fired, examining social media and the loss of yet another one of my Horcruxes.

Nashville's Nick Hoffman and Brent Pike took a little trip recently.

Getting the dogs used to helicopter rides was the easy part! The language gets a little salty on this one. PG 16 rating

I was a guest recently on the Silvercore Podcast. Travis Bader is the host. Travis reached out to me about breed choices of dogs, and the next thing we know, the tables were turned and I was his guest. Funny how that works sometimes.

Dan Abdelnoor aka Doggy Dan joins me to talk all things behavior and training. or is it training and behavior?? Dan works with pet owners all over the globe with his on-line training. We compare notes of how this relates to our bird dogs and our training. Remember in the end they are all K9s and they all learn like K9s. It is usually us that thinks they speak and listen in english.

Listen up and take action. Ben Jones, CEO of RGS, AWS jumps on to give us the State of the Union report of my favorite conservation organization! and a few stories about the new dogs in our kennels.
