Jeff Funke joins me to talk about the VHDF.  Building a better mouse trap can be difficult, but a few dedicated people found that it was possible. The Versatile Hunting Dog Federation wanted to bring better clarity to the judgement of the versatile hunting dog.  For breeders and buyers, the more details in test scores will be invaluable when making decisions. The better the test. The better the dog!!

In this episode, Aaron and I are talking with turkey experts Marcus Lashley and Will Gulsby about what we can do as hunters and conservationists to help improve turkey populations. In most regions of the country, turkey populations are on the decline. But thanks to experts that have dedicated their life to learning about what turkeys need to survive all hope is not lost especially if we work together with the common goal being more turkeys for us and future generations to enjoy! 

Topics Include: 

-balancing hunter satisfaction and giving turkeys enough time to breed  

-what habitat types are we lacking across the country?

-what is brood rearing habitat and how to create and sustain it?

There is a dizzying amount of information online about rifles, bullets, and ballistics. And while you can find an answer for nearly every question, that doesn’t mean we have all of the real and definitive answers. Even a trained, experienced, professional ballistician — such as Hornady’s Jayden Quinlan — has questions that keep him up night. Today, we speak with Jayden about those mysteries, and also dive into some practical examples of the things that do and don’t matter for your shooting and reloading.
