I'm feeling I'm feeling spry

Hey everybody, it's Ron Baim with the Honeydog Podcast. It's the fourth of December. You know what that means? Well, two things. Christmas is 21 days away, so you don't have much time.

And our grow season is back open. Now it opened up the first of December, but I've been busy.

I'm going to get out today with V. I'm going to take a little walk in the woods down by the creek. See if we can put up a grouse or two.

I love December, but I don't like the feeling of having to buy Christmas presents. Now I'm pretty lucky.

My wife throughout the year shoots out ideas. My daughter, Jesse, takes care of it. She writes it down in November. We start ordering stuff. It goes to her house. She brings it back here. I'm good at wrapping. In fact, I'd like wrapping Christmas presents.

So I've got it, I've got it kind of, as we say, I've got it made. Okay, but I know the average listener does not have, they just, they procrastinate a little bit.

So here's the idea. If you're listening and both you listen to this show, it's very simple. Just get them something from my sponsors. They're going to love it.

If you don't know what to tell your other half, what other your other half is, just half, just tell them, how about get me, how about getting me a Patreon subscription for the Hunting Dog podcast?

Or how about getting me something from their title sponsor from Pike Gear? Or get me Onyx Elite that way next year, if I'm only an Onyx member and I'm not an Onyx Elite member.

Onyx Elite members will get, and they do get currently the only organization that can dive into the Upland Institute and watch some of the training segments.

That's the only venue you can do it on if you're Onyx Elite, and then you get a great discount through Onyx Onyx is just their Onyx. What do you want me to say about it?

But there's another great idea. Tell your other half, whoever you're, I don't care if you're giving this list to Santa Claus. Tell me you need some boss shot shells.

Even though it might be late in the year, you know what, they're not going to be cheaper next year. I guarantee that nothing's going to be cheaper next year. Get some boss shot shells for Christmas.

And if you really don't know what, go online and look at Walton's, because they got everything but the meat and you need the stuff to fix the meat, okay?

The spices, the machinery, the grinders, the stuffers, the casings, the, you name it, the brines, the knives, the sharpeners. It's all in Walton's. Get something from Walton's for Christmas.

If you're, if you're working with some shitty kennel, and like, you know, the only thing holding me back is a good kennel. Well, it should hold you back because I hate my whole life.

I've hated it. I've never had a cheap kennel in my life. Never. And now they got gunners out. I'll never have to worry about it. Put gunner kennel or gunner kennel food crate on your shopping list for your Christmas.

Or maybe a new Garmin 550 plus. Or maybe if you already got the Garmin, get the instinct watch. I'm telling you, besides, you do the Garmin connect thing on your phone, which I actually figured out.

I can see how, how my REM sleep was. I can see how my respiration was. I can see how my steps were. I love this thing. I'm turned into a watch tech because of Garmin.

And if you don't know where to tell somebody to get their Garmin, like, say, hey, honey, give me a Garmin instinct watch. That's what I want for Christmas. Well, you can also leave them a little note on a poster. Don't say, go to W hunting supply to get that Garmin. Now, there you go, because you're not going to get it from a better place with more support.

Or if you really want to be extravagant, like if you spoil your partner and you want them to spoil you, here's a big spoil. Get a deck drawer system. Yeah, that's a big spoil. If you notice on Instagram, how many people with the tailgates down have the pictures of the dogs, the kennels on top of them, you notice how many deck drawer systems are are.
