Description

Trevor Walz of Western Prairie Outfitters joins me for a deep dive into prairie bird habitat and hunting strategies. From the importance of shade, to scouting new ground, this guy has some useful insights. We dabble in Mearn's quail as well, as his outfit also guides Arizona in winter. 


We'll cover some of the early steps you can take to help your dog's steadiness, starting with creating a more "composed" dog, and touch on some essential gear. Trevor helps us be better clients and finally, reveals the answer to the most-asked question I get: how much do you tip a pro guide?


"Fix It" suggests a couple more federal alphabet-agencies that manage public ground on our behalf that most hunters neglect, and listeners sound off on why, when and how they use non-toxic shot - you may be surprised at their answers.


And it's all brought to you by: HiVizSights.com, RuffLand Kennels, Mid Valley Clays and Shooting School, CableGangz, TrulockChokes, HiViz shooting systems, Pointer shotguns, Purina Pro Plan Sport and FindBirdHuntingSpots.com.
