The Western Wingshooter Podcast

I usually try to keep politics out of the podcast, but the time has come to discuss some of the issues that we face as hunters today. Try to keep an open mind.  Sam and myself break down some of the issues that have come up in the last few years.

Parker and Sam and Myself sat down after getting our butts kicked for a few days while filming a Flush episode.  We also talk about the stresses that go into filming a hunting show. We also got to spend some time in the new Teddy Roosevelt Presidential Library and IT WAS AWESOME! 

For the last few years Ive had this thought in my head....Let me give you a little back story. I had a buddy a few years ago that had a dog that was 8 years old jump up on the tailgate after a pheasant hunt. His feet were wet and there was some snow on the tailgate. The dog slipped when it hit the tailgate and tore its ACL. Sure it was a freak accident but ive seen my own dogs slip and tweak things.  So, for the last few years ive been thinking about some sort of a tailgate cover to help prevent it. I contacted the guys from Aqua Traction here in North Dakota with my idea and they came up with a soulution!  We also spend a good bit of time talking about running the missouri river in search of giant walleyes!

On this weeks podcast George and Wess from the Prairie Tails Podcast join me to talk about bird numbers in our area.    We also talk about the Sharptail Ridge 2026 Golf Championship. And we wish Rusty a Happy Birthday and tell a few stories about the Old Boy.

In this episode of The Method Men we talk alot about overlooked small things that we do with young dogs that helps set them up for the future!  We talk about using paint rollers with puppies for retrieving, the downside of letting dogs chew on tennis balls, and how to interupt bad decisions in training.
