Lone Duck’s Gun Dog Chronicles

Here's a few highlights from the show: Hunting there is not like hunting Bob's farm in NY Deer the size of kitchen chairs (Bob needs to work on his imagination) Choosing whether or not to pull the trigger When invited to a place to hunt... how picky are you on choosing deer?

Today we're joined by our buddy and fellow Setter guy, Marc Mussleman from Alclair Outdoors. Marc has a really interesting background and chose to bring his knowledge from the music industry into the hunting world. Marc and his dogs chase birds in some of the coolest parts of the country and yes, I'm jealous. If you're interested in learning more about Marc, his ear pro, why it matters and how you can get into some yourself, then I'd highly recommend reaching out to him. Here's a few highlights from the show: We learn more about Marc and his background in the music industry, hunting dogs and his business, Alclair Outdoors. Marc discusses hearing protection in the outdoor industry and how he took what was learned working with top tier musicians from around the world... and then put that into gear for hunters like you and me. Marc is a dog guy. After two minutes of talking with him, you know it. His dogs travel the country with him and they never a miss a day at the office. Marc shares a few hunting stories that include his dog, Oscar. What makes a good grouse dog? Getting a new pup to hunt birds and what to look for Kevin does a video breakdown of some Alclair gear. We learn what to do and how easy it is to get the ball rolling once your ear pro arrives.

Well, it might be less than 4 million but exchange rates with pesos was very confusing and we aren't really math guys... Joined by our friends from Standing Stone Kennels and their podcast, Ethan and Kat, we chat through one of the coolest hunting trips you could imagine. We spend a few days hunting in Cordoba Argentina for doves, pigeons, parakeets and perdiz. This is a two-part show so you'll have to catch the second part on THEIR podcast where we break down costs, planning and how it really is possible to plan something like that. If we can figure it out.... anyone can. Here's a few highlights from the show: Bob isn't great with silent auctions at conservation dinners What is it like traveling to Argentina and eating the greatest steak of my life. Dove hunting with people who reload the gun for you, eating lunches cooked over a bonfire, shooting parakeets (that bite). Inca doves are fast. Parakeets are loud. Perdiz hunting is very, very fun.

Today we had the pleasure of chatting with our buddy, Brandon Sweesy, from Northern Air Retrievers. Brandon has been on our show before and trains dogs with the best of 'em. Here's a few highlights from the show: We catch up with Brandon and hear about his winter trip We dig pretty deep into new rules for AKC hunt tests and they're trying to address a problem-- which is great, but this is not the solution. We're tired of the "pros vs amateurs" conflict because we should all be on the same team. Getting dogs to the Master Nationals is truly special. Getting dogs to pass is an emotional roller coaster.
