Since this episode was recorded we won. After hundreds of thousands of phone calls, emails, and letters written by sportsmen and women Mike Lee from Utah finally admidded defeat for now and ppulled the public land sale out of the budget bill.

In this epiosde we talk about the little things that we can do to help insure that our bird dogs can stay running at a higher level! Kevin Bauer is the owner and man that created Furvor. Furvor is a bone broth supplement that help keep our dogs motors running at a high level.  

The United States Senate has included in the "Big Beautiful Bill" a land sale of YOUR Public Lands. The time to fight is right now! They are planning on voting on this bill in the next few weeks.

On this episode we continue our species specific series. Mountian Grouse in Montana is this weeks focus.  Primarily we talk about Blue Grouse but we do talk about both Spruce and Ruffed grouse also. George hasnt hunted them before but is very interested in them, so he asked Wess and Myself the questions that he was curious about and Wess and I did our best to answer.

About 7pm last night they removed the Public Land sale from the reconsiliation bill! This is a big win for those of us that enjoy hunting on this land. A HUGE thanks goes out to everyone that did their part in this fight. OnX Hunt deserves a huge thanks for putting their post out yesterday where they discovered it wasnt 500,000 acres set to be sold, but 1.5 million acres.   

Randy Newberg is a life long Hunter, trapper, and fisherman. He also has a long history of being one of the most outsporken public land advocates that we have. We talk about the history of public land and previous attempts to sell it off. We spend alot of time talking about the polititians that are pushing this agenda aswell as their previous voting records on this topic. We also talk about fishing on Fort Peck in Montana. 

Roger is one of the best fisherman I know! Hes the Owner of Schumann Fishing Guide Service based out of Minot North Dakota. When he called me and asked if I wanted to jump in the boat with him to go pitch jigs and place with his forward facing sonar I jumoed at the chance. Sadly, the fish werent as cooperative as they were the previous day. Fun was had anyway! The walleyes werent active but we caught enough Northern Pike and Smallmouth Bass tp keep us entertained. 

Warning! This episode is going to contain some adult content! Bray is a local rancher here in North Dakota and one of my good buddies.  We talk about hunter/ land owner relations from the land owner perspective. We try to figure out why nearly all of the private land is posted, unlike 20 years ago. We also discuss some Do's and Don'ts as to how and when to approach a landowner to get permission.

Tim, Wess, George and Myself sit down to tell some lies and share some laughs after the first few days of the 2025 turkey season! 

The MOST asked question we get is what kind of boots do I wear....The answer is Crispi! So, we asked Lars from Crispi to join us for a poscast to chat about the new models they have coming out as well as some changes to their standbys. We also spend a good bit of time talking about chasing chukars and other birds that are still on Lars's bucket list.
