Onex Hunt, Boss Shot Shells, Final Rise vests, Lucky Duck Kennels, gun dog grind coffee, and fervor pet supplements. Thanks. Hey there, everybody,

Tyler with a Western Wing Shooter podcast, joined here by my trusty sidekick, Rusty, and Wes Larrabee, primarily Rusty because tomorrow's his 12th birthday.

So he's laying right here by my feet. And we're also joined by Lars Anderson from over at Crispy.

I was, first of all, I really can't thank you enough for letting me kind of crash your guys as party last week, because that was a ton of fun, man.

So, Wes was busy. He had stuff to do. My other buddies weren't going to be out anywhere. And I was thinking I was just going to go to Montana by myself and then randomly texted Lars. And you were going to be up there. And so I kind of crashed your guys as party. And

we got to go out and chase some birds around for a few days, got to, you know, really put those

new Upland pros through their paces, got to tire out some dogs. And we did get to shoot a few birds.

So we left at like 6 o'clock that morning. And we got home at about 8, 30 or 9 that night. So we just made a couple quick pit stops. Jimmy Johns, grab the quick sandal, let the pups out of the party.

But yeah, we actually made pretty good time on that one.

Well, I mean, after Tuesday, we kind of, we really did leave it all out on the field on Tuesday.

I mean, we went pretty hard.
