Project Upland's A. J. DeRosa and the millennials This age group of hunters may just pick up the slack in hunter numbers. A.J.DeRosa started with a simple idea, and it's making a difference in the R3 movement. Starting with one short film, Project Upland has grown to be a force in the world of young hunters.

His approach to getting your dog ready to hunt, comes from a deep hunting background and even a deeper training background. He started cleaning kennels before he was old enough to drive a car. Learning from his mentors and applying that to wild bird hunting, gave him a no-nonsense approach to what it takes to have a dog that truly ready to go afield. I learn more every time I visit him, and you will too!!! /episode/index/show/thehuntingdogpodcast/id/8023904

Amber Miller rescuing GSPs in Texas 11/12/2018

Amber Miller rescuing GSPs in Texas What an eye-opener for me, to hear about the number of dogs in just one breed and in just one area of the country. Amber Miller and the network of "true" dog loving folks. We get some sad numbers, yet happy stories from the world of dog rehoming. Amber and her husband Bo, along with dozens of others, help the German Shorthaired Pointer world. I'm sure this plays out in every state and every breed.

Hunting South Dakota 10/21/2018

After last year's low harvest, pheasants are springing back in great numbers. 46% overall increase, which means over one million roosters will fall to the gun this year. With any luck, I'll bring home a couple dozen for the freezer. America's most popular non-native is waiting to see you in America's friendliest state. /episode/index/show/thehuntingdogpodcast/id/7256417
