Summary
It has been a very long road to get to this place with Rusty. He and I have spent countless days and more miles than I care to think about chasing birds from the artic circle to the mexican border and everywhere in between. But finally we have done it. Rusty and Me together have both managed somehow to hunt and harvest every upland bird species in north america TOGETHER.
Katie Willis and Kirk Adams helped make this possible.
In this episode we discuss how amazing valley quail are as a game bird. Covey dynamics, mountain lions, chukar and much much more.
