About this episode
My buddy Randall Lykens stopped by to hang out and run the dogs while the rest of the South continued to thaw out. We sat down and touched on a few of his takeaways from the previous "Flipping the Switch" episode with Nate Kennedy as well as a few other topics:
Random hold over training bird contacts
Recognizing when your dog is on a track
"Ripped birds" as opposed to "worked birds"
Listener Feedback | CRP, land prices, pheasant stocking
Listener Question | Working left to right in the field, reigning in the dog
