Tim is a 4-time member of the USA Olympic Team. He joins us this week to talk about his dogs and his love of bird hunting.

One of the wildest things that has happened through this podcast is the people I have got to meet. A few years ago I got a Instagram message from Paul Schommer I later found out after talking to him that he was a member of the USA Olympic Team. Now, I am thankful to call him a friend!  He has literally been back in the states from his second trip to the Olympics this winter. His second stop after being back from Italy was here in North Dakota for spring turkey season. We spend some time recapping his hunts this week. Spoiler alert.....he tagged out! We really spend a lot of time digging into the mental side of shooting. 

This weekend was absolutly AWESOME! It was great to be out exploring the Badlands with some great friends and oh yeah you bet we got a few birds! 

I apologize for the audio on yesterdays podcast. There was something going on with Jordan's mic george and I could hear a little bit of it at times but the recording came out pretty rough. We didnt rehash much of the podcast from yesterday. Today we talked alot more about bird hunting, fly fishing with a little binocular and spotting scope talk sprinkled in. If you have questions check out Mavenbuilt.com or give them a call at 1800-307-1109.

On this weeks show we are joined by Jordan Belser. Jordan is a product manager with Maven Optics out of Lander Wyoming. Jordan breaks down what scope I should get for my personal rifle. He explains to me which model and why. We discuss the ultra high quality and customer service Maven is known for. Then, we switch gears and talk about Jordan's bird hunting and his dogs chasing chukars, huns and pheasants in Wyoming. 

In this episode we talk about HR 5017 " The Greyhound Protection Act" which just got voted out of commitee in the house to add this to the Farm Bill. This Ammendment was written purposly vague and could make it illegal to train with live birds and outlaw dog trials.

Wess and I had what felt like a good old fashined Birds, Booze, and Buds talk. We talked alot about what we are excited about in the upcoming weeks. We discuss my Dog power problem. Also, the new Youtube video that I put up on sunday. 

We are joined by The Mad Scientist, Brandon Cerecke. Brandon is the owner and founder of Boss Shotshells and is also the brains behind the new CuProX Copper pellets.  We did deep into the science of how and why they are patterning tighter and penetrating deeper than any Boss Shotshell before it. We also discuss the all new Boss Chokes. Yes, they are now making their own choke tubes!  Sit down, take notes, and get ready to send your orders in!

You asked and We answered! At Pheasant Fest we got asked multiple times to bring the team back together so we did!  We talk about a scare with Tim's dog Mac. We talk about opposums  and practial jokes on road hunters. Enjoy!
