I catch up with some buddies and we talk doves from Virginia to South Dakota. Then we get excited about the bird reports from my favorite place. It sounds like we are in for a doozie!!

Nate Akey stopped over to the kennel to catch up on everything from soup to nuts. Nate has hunted with his shorthairs from Michigan to the Pacific Ocean. Since grad school he has been working in the outdoor industry, training and testing his dogs and recently started working for ONX. We talk about that and a whole bunch more!

For fifty years the Carters have been the OG couple in NAVHDA. We share some stories and some history of the "Why" we do what we do with our friends and our dogs. The past can help guide us into the future. The future is now!
