Longtime passionate Upland Hunter, Doug Davis, joins us to talk about how he has found himself getting the most enjoyment from helping new people get started hunting and training their own dogs. Who is Doug Davis? Does the first impression of seeing bird dogs for the first time predict what breed you want to buy? What learning resources did people use 30 years ago pre-internet? Should you work dogs closer in the desert on Quail? Is your tracking collar making you a worse dog handler? Do you compare your dog/hunt to others on social media? Is the "school of hard knocks" always the best place to learn? Why pass on the knowledge and help the next generation? Is simple always best? How does a gun shy dog lead to finding a mentor? Will you quit apologizing on behalf of your dog?!? -- Presented By: Standing Stone Supply [Use Code: GDIY to save 10%] onX Hunt Maps [Use Code: GDIY20 to save 20%] DT Systems [Use Code: DTSocialMedia15 for 15%] Final Rise Upland Gun Company - Other Partners: Eukanuba // Bird Dog Society - GDIY Links: Patreon//Instagram//Facebook//Website Learn more about your ad choices.
