Okay, for all of you who can’t catch the show on cable, satellite or over the air, I’ll put ’em here. [Note that there are “black holes” between segments of the show where the commercials went, generally about 15 seconds long. ]

Scott Linden Outdoors 
Many of us can’t use a dog because of were we live. I find there are 2 groups of dog hunters those
That will help you out in every way and invite you along like you seem to be. Or affeitte snob who make you feel like shit for just trying to hunt remember not all of us are lucky enough to be able to have a dog.
Glad I’m in the first group!
Many of us have spent the hours training dogs and smoothing over hard feelings toward terrible hunters (trespassers) held by many private landowners. All of which take a great deal of effort. If you don’t have a dog, try finding good places to hunt (or offer to pay for the hunting reserve) and invite someone with a good dog. One way or another, you need to apply yourself – starting with a positive attitude and a willingness to be a productive member of a team.
Hi Scott Could you be so kind as to upload online some more shows. Thanks very much.
Regards
Paul
Scott please some new shows online. Thank you!
Just uploaded one last week. More to come. Be patient.
Hi Scott On the Southern tip of Africa can you please put a few more episodes on line. I would be very grateful. Regards
Paul
I’ll try!
Hi Scott for online viewers is episode42 your last episode. I see online a few old ones remain but not a lot of new episodes.
We have plenty more but parcel them out. Probably time for a new one?
Scott what are your latest episode numbers? I do not see them uploaded here. Can you assist or if you go online where do you find them. Your assistance would be appreciated.
New program schedule in development now, Paul. Watch this space.
Again Scott, thank you so much for posting episodes. NBC Sports is quickly becoming a soccer-only network. I don’t think it’s showing all of your new episodes. Since it’s the only outdoor channel I receive I count on watching episodes right here. Consistently my favorite hunting show.
Thanks Mike. Watch for news in 2014 on the network front.
Thanks for the new episode for us no TV folks! Great as always.
One of the many free services from Buddy & Manny!
Hey Scott, Is it ok to teach my pointer to sit or not?
I’m leaning toward not teaching “sit.” My dogs tend to sit when they are confused or want better direction from me. A soft point and the wrong situation might encourage it too. Others, though, have no problem.
Scott,
Three years ago I was in an airport and found a copy of gundog magazine on a chair. Everything in it appealed to me. I’ve now been hunting for two years and while my golden is too old to start at 13, I have a lab pup that’s passed her hunt test and did real well on her first pheasant hunt. I learned to train her from Richard Woltons awesome books on dog training I got from the library!….how old school is that? My first gun was an Harrington Richardson single shot 12 (I was nervous about my first gun). I quickly outgrew that and invested in a nice Weatherby. I’ve noticed most of your shows are on preserves. How about an episode showing how to get permission from a farmer and going after wild birds? Also, what about an episode about how modern farming techniques have decimated pheasant hunting in the Midwest? And please have an episode with a chef with some good game bird recipes. Oh, and I think it would interesting to invite a bird hunter from England and look at the contrast the styles. These are all great ideas scott, and I’m sure you’re excited to get started so ill let you go for now. Seriously though, great shows and thanks.
Dan, thanks. I’ve looked at all those suggestions before, and executed many of them. I set priorities for the show based on what my viewers tell me they want to see in my annual survey (you might get one this year).
We do hunt wild birds on private property, simply don’t make a big deal about the permission-getting process. We stay off public land because the bureaucrats make it so difficult to get permits, make payments, etc. Example: they want a MAP of every place we plan to put a camera. Even the time invested in “freelancing” a hunt, knocking on doors gets spendy – I pay my crew by the day, whether they’re driving around or running a camera.
While beautiful habitat is a high priority for viewers, watching a TV show about conservation and management is not.
Did the food thing – it’s a priority for me, as I believe we can make many allies via their stomach – but I’m loathe to take time from the topics viewers really want (not food).
I have an open file on a trip to Great Britain and am just waiting for the right opportunity.
Best,
Scott
Scott,
what size shot do you use if you are hunting for a mixed bag of phesant,chuckar,and quail. Im always afraid of using phesant loads because they might destroy the quail, but if i use quail loads you wont make a clean kill on the pheasants.
Thanks, Connor
I usually split the difference, Connor. Sixes are my load of choice, and I will wait a bit before shooting quail. Larger shot means more holes in the pattern, but I’ve killed enough birds and don’t mind missing a few quail.

I got my dog Boone (gsp) as a fathers day gift two years ago. He is four now. He had been in another hunting home with two other dogs. Would it be better for him to hunt with other dogs because of how he was raised, or should he hunt just as well solo?
I have been watching on direct tv going on the second season now. Love watching during our off season.
Jamee
First, Jamee, know that you are Boone’s hero for “adopting” him. If his breeding is sound, he should be able to hunt by himself just fine. He might even “bold up” a bit without another dog to rely on.
Thanks for watching the show.
Thanks for posting these Episodes Scott, I have really enjoyed them. For those of us that don’t do television but would still like to watch your program this is a great venue. I rather be training or hunting with my GSP than watching TV but we have made an exception for Wingshooting USA. I hope you are able to post more episodes in the future. I’d be happy to see advertisements from companys that support your program.
Thanks Cuz … without sponsors, there would be no shows.
Scott,what was your first shotgun
Scott,what amunition do you use for pheasent hunting. What about quail.
Connor, I use Kent Five Star Penetrator Turkey loads in size 5 for pheasants – tungsten matrix plus two kinds of steel make a lethal pattern especially in late season and long shots – and legal everywhere. Quail – Kent’s Ultimate Fast Lead size 7-1/2.
Scott
I found your show by accident on NBC Sports TV. I do not have a hunting dog but I love your show. I have watched all your shows you have archived and I really want to hunt with dogs soon. I started hunting dove three years ago and have really loved it. We do pass shooting and it has been fun. Since then I can’t wait until the next years season opens. I look forward to seeing more of your shows on TV and seeing the dogs working. At 57 years old and retired I look forward to going on more hunts. Thanks for your show.
Craig
You are at a great time in your life Craig! Take advantage of it, get a dog and go hunting! And you’re welcome.
But every network must close-caption shows now, and they make us pay for it! You can thank the Obama administration for this one.
Are you sure about thanking the Obama administration? I may be wrong, but I believe it predates his administration.
But his FCC extended the regulation to “startup” networks.
i watch the show on dish network channel 240 and it isn’t close captioned, is dish network to blame? we pay dearly for there t.v. service, yet i’m deprived of the dialog for your show.
would you please consider close caption on your show, for us near deaf folks its difficult to understand the dialog.
Gary, our shows are closed-captioned and have been for years, which I pay for out of my own pocket at considerable personal expense, as do all other producers (it’s another unfunded government mandate). If you’re watching on the website, you won’t see it. The technology is too expensive. But every network must close-caption shows now, and they make us pay for it! You can thank the Obama administration for this one.
Scott, have you ever been involved in any sort of competative shooting and what is your favorite of the upland birds to hunt
Connor, I’ve done a bit of sporting clays competition on a local basis and had a ball. Just ran out of time. My favorite upland bird is probably valley quail because they hold so well for a pointing dog … and because they are the closest bird to my house! I’m studying sharptailed grouse a lot – and hope to do more hunting of them as my experiences have been a lot of fun.
Scott,
I see where episodes 27-32 are available online, but is there any way I could catch episodes 1-26? Thanks, and great show!
I may have DVDs soon, or if we can find the digital room, might be putting them on the site. I’ll keep you posted. Thanks Reed.
Thanks. I enjoy the show and would love to see them
Scott, why is it that you use a side by side in the field. I always use semi automatics in the feild and over unders on the range. Is there a reason why you use side by side?
Connor, I learned to shoot with a side-by-side, it’s as simple as that. I shoot them with confidence because I’m used to them, even though as you know, I’m not a very good shooter! In my book, there are no “right” or “wrong” shotguns, so use what you are comfortable using: semi-auto, O/U, pump … just get out and hunt with it!
Scott, still enjoying the show on the net. Still having problems with my DVR. Set it to record and still didn’t get the show.
I had hoped to meet you at Gun Dog Expo next month, but I have to be out of town. Perhaps next year.
Give the dogs a pat for me.
Bob
[…] https://scottlindenoutdoors.com/wingshootingusa/watch-the-show/ […]
Really enjoyed watching some of the shows from last season today. I am being held captive in the house today with a heavy steady rain coming down. If there was something to hunt in the area I would brave the rain. It was nice to take a break and watch your shows on the net since your shows aren’t in my satellite package this year. Even though I enjoyed the shows I am not sure it was a good idea, I think it made me miss hunting season even more than normal.
You sure can’t please everyone. I noticed in the above comments that some are sure critical of the dog work. Sure I noticed some creeping, a stolen point or two, but I would’t enjoy hunting with a machine. I thought your comment that your show is about hunting and not field trials was right on the money. It seems to me that some FT people are hard to please, and many of them don’t do real hunting. In fact I had one FT person tell me real hunting would mess up his FT dog.
Enough of that. I did enjoy the show. Keep up the good work. It shows that you love what you do, and that you love and enjoy your dogs. To me that is what it is all about.
Thanks Bob. We were dry so got one training run … dogs recovering from three days of hunting early in the week. Oops, just made you jealous, didn’t I? Watch for “HNT” which is the Pursuit Channel on both satellite systems … we are on that network through March, Saturdays 6:30 p.m. Eastern, Fridays 4:30 p.m. Eastern.
Everybody’s dog is a star in their own mind. That’s a good thing.
SUGGESTION! Label the title content of your archived shows, i.e. Mott ND Pheasant Hunt
Great idea. Will do ASAP. DONE 1/13/11.
After watching the Pheasant hunt in ND. I watched Buddy break point and flush a Rooster which got up low and the dog rushed in. As the dog was moving in, a shot made it’s mark and downed the bird. This shot was too close to Buddy from my point of view.
A versatile hunting dog should not move his feet. He whould be steady to wing, shot, fall, and kill.
The dog shouldn’t move his feet utill released. Either by voice command or a tap on his side. Mine won’t move untill I tell him to.
He won’t eat his dinner until I say so either. I don’t need to reinforce it by showing him the palm of my hand.
He won’t eat until I say so. Even if I am not in the room.
Deutsch Langaar
Don’t worry – I won’t shoot too close to my dog. I have too much time and dog food invested in him. This is a common problem with two-dimensional television images, just as birds look farther away than they really are.
On the steady to wing shot and fall thing, there is a time and place for it. And not. You say toe-mah-toe; I say toe-may-toe.
Not a hero, just love my dogs. She loves to run (we call her Forrest Gump), and she loves to hunt. We’ll see…
All the best, and please keep me posted.
Scott,
What a great job!! Really enjoy your video’s. Thanks for making these for all of us.
Guy Shelander
You are welcome. Yep, it’s a dirty job, but …
Hi Scott
Like i said earlier you are doing a unbelievable job on putting
on a show.After a long day at work it is nice to sit back and
watch the show when it is on.The show is realistic and the way bird hunting is.I do alot of it in a year.It is never a walk in the park.KEEP UP THE GREAT JOB
Mike
Hi Scott!
I’ll start by saying you do a brilliant brilliant show.. A hectic work life off late has reduced hunting trips for me over the last couple of years (my bird of choice is partridge here in Central Pakistan), and you’ve brought back SO many fond hunting memories..
Anyway, we don’t get any satellites here that show your shows, so i wanted to ask you if there’s any way i can see them online. I just see 4 epi’s on this post and would absolutely love to see the rest of them.
Cheers!
Welcome to the “Upland Nation” Abbas. Hunting is one way to bridge cultural gaps, wouldn’t you agree? I hunt the same bird here, I believe – we call them chukar. Yes, generally I post the episode about a week after it goes on the air. So check back in regularly.
Hey Scott.. you’re very right about bridging cultural gaps.. Nothing like a good shoot to turn strangers into friends as they say..
We don’t have Chukar’s near where my family farms. We hunt some migratory quail and a kind of partridge that’s more likely a relative of the Grey, with minor differences in appearance. That’s the most abundant kind here. Game preserves are non-existent in Pakistan (apart from hapless people like me trying their hand at releasing ring-necks on their land) so we have no concept of released birds. Man they’re a handful when the flush!
Going down for the weekend next week for two full day shoots.. Can NOT wait after watching your episodes.. Anything to keep me away from my day job 1200 miles from the farm!
Thanks for the upload.. Looking forward for more!
and PS: Loved the Chukar double in episode 4! Great shots!
You are welcome Abbas. Safe travels and good luck. When you have a moment please email me (scottlindenoutdoors@gmail.com) a photo of a Grey partridge or that quail, if you have it. Many of us would be interested … Thanks.
Thanks for the fine show. I think more and more people are doing what I’ve done: switching from deer hunting to upland. As the prices of hunting properties go up, and with outfitters and landowners managing their properties for trophies, the Average Joe is getting nudged out of deer hunting. More people are realizing they can buy a pup at a reasonable price, buy a $15 training book and end up with a longtime companions and many fond memories.
I’d like to see some episodes with greater focus on training, as well as some on how a newbie can get into the game.
Keep up the great work!
Thanks Brian. I’m with you; never was a big-game hunter so didn’t have to get over that hurdle, but am madly passionate about dogs. The show is not about training per-se, there are plenty of books and videos on that subject by folks more expert than me. The show is dedicated to getting you motivated enough to buy them and become a better trainer and hunter! That said, beyond the “Buddy & Me” segment, which is sorta about training, watch the handlers within the show for some subtle training ideas. I try to point them out in the voiceover as well, when I notice them!
HI scott
Great first show i was a big fan of what the dogs taught
me.Being a big time bird hunter and a breeder of german
shorthaired pointers.I reaaly enjoy the way you do your
program.It is nice to have another upland show when
everything is deer hunting.When i am not hunting i will be
watching.Keep up the goood work scott.
Mike
Thanks Mike, and welcome back. Please don’t forget to vote! Again.
Hi Scott
Nice to talk to you again.The 2nd show hit it out of the
park.It was a great show.I look forward to each show
it gets better and better.
Keep it up.
Mike
I will get back to you about what we talked about.
KEEP THE GREAT SHOWS COMING
Scott…as a newbie to upland hunting and dog work I wanted to thank you for providing an opportunity to watch and learn more about this new hobby and your love of it. As hunting season approaches I find myself searching to find these types of programs to help gain a better prespective of things to pay attention to in the field. As a new hunter it is difficult to find these types of reasources. I would encourage you to consider a show about introducing youth to the sport so that they don’t have to wait as long as I did. Thank you again and I look forward to watching all season.
You’re welcome Joe. I, too, came to this passion late in life so there’s hope! While we don’t have any kids on this season’s show, we’re still doing our part with the wingshootingusa.com “Win a Shot on the Show” sweepstakes. Go there. Enter to win. Take a kid hunting. And tell your friends.
Great show with a lot of good information. Let us know when the show airs and on which channel.
Thanks for the comments. Go here for air days/times: https://scottlindenoutdoors.com/wingshootingusa/.
I liked the show alot it was nice to see close working dogs. So what if these dogs were not trained to perfection…. most hunters dogs aren’t. People enjoying their hunting companions in the field and throw in a few birds for the pot.. life is good. Liked the meet the breed showcase was nice too… :).
Diana, you’ve hit the nail on the head: “People enjoying their hunting companions in the field …” That’s what I’m talkin’ about!
Very nicely done. I liked the lack of whooping, hollering, hi-fiving and blazing raucous rock and roll music. I also liked that it wasn’t a push ‘n drive gang hunt.
I also liked the focus on the dogs. Whether preserve hunts or wild bird hunts, for me the focus is always on the dogs.
Good luck.
Thanks Rick. While most of that is simply a reflection of my evolving view of the hunt, those same sentiments were clearly voiced in the research and polling I did with people like you … and me!
Enjoyed the show. Any show spotlighting pointing dogs working draws my attention. This show was a cut above most……avoiding obnoxious music, mindless chatter, etc. More video on the dog work was nice…..although the dog work was mediocre at best. Both dogs creeped and moved on point. But, that’s the way the majority of dogs are…..so, I guess it’s acceptable. Especially on preserve birds.
I’d like to see a show on Ruffed Grouse and Woodcock hunting. I realize it would be much more difficult to shoot (and maybe even cost prohibitive), but I think it can be done. Certainly a Woodcock hunt should be viable. Nothing like coursing through Grouse & Woodcock cover in the fall accompanied by wonderful dogs.
Mediocre is in the eye of the beholder! But I won’t go argue poe-tay-toes vs. poe-tah-toes. I’ve turned down a couple ruffie hunts because the odds of getting even a few clearly-visible flushes are so astronomical. An alternative timberdoodle hunt with ruffs as a “side dish” started to make sense, and we are still on the lookout, if you know somewhere we can fly 10-15 birds a day.
Scott,
How many days do you need to film a Woodcock hunt?
Capt.: We would need two days in the field, two more for travel, plus one extra for weather or other unforeseen issues.
If you are serious about filming a Woodcock outing contact me, I may be able to help. PM me at info@adventureguideservice.com.
Capt.; go here, learn more, then give me a call …
https://scottlindenoutdoors.com/wingshootingusa/lodges-preserves-host-our-tv-show/
Very nice, Scott! There were a lot of things I liked, a few I didn’t. For starters, I love that you highlighted the dogs, not the hunters. And I really enjoyed seeing the different styles and experience of two different breeds put down together. Thank you for not bombarding us with mindless chatter and constant sponsor plugs. There were just a few things that bothered me:
* lose the bells. I know many people hunt with them, but in the future, you might want to ask the hunters to remove the bells for filming. They were distracting and interfered with the audio.
* your comments about the dogs may be true, but they did not match what was shown on film. The brittany was creeping and stealing point, whereas the pointer was more staunch and mannerly. (though both were better behaved than many dogs on hunting shows)
* you did a very good job of showing and explaining that it was hot and damp, which affected the scenting. I think it came across pretty well that even wild birds will sometimes run or hold, but…I was 3/4 of the way through the film before I realized what species you were hunting and only because one walked across the road. I have never seen wild bobwhites that large or slow! I have no problem with hunting pen raised birds or watching it on film. Both are fun and entertaining. But I wouldn’t try to pass them off as wild, unless they are some lumbering jumbo sub-species known only in Kansas.
* I’m sure that it is difficult to capture a covey rise on film or to show how much time and acreage was covered between shots, but from where I sit, it looks like you guys are only hunting singles, and quite a few of them in a fairly short space of time and distance. I have no problem with that if they are pen birds. But if they were wild, and this was only one covey, some might view your hunting style as bordering on unsportsmanlike. If you maintain that they are wild, you might want to explain that the singles were from several scattered coveys taken in different territories over time. I would hate to think that a single covey of rare Kansas jumbo quail was decimated for the sake of a TV show.
Overall, I liked it very much and will definately watch the series. Even the rough cut was way better than most of what’s out there! Keep up the good work!
Aline Scharpf
Thanks Aline … I’m with you on the bell thing, but handlers call the shots. You’ll hear them ringing on a couple more episodes this season. We actually covered several miles on this hot, humid hunt. But you wouldn’t want to watch that part. We got some covey rises recorded the next day and you’ll see them later in the season.
Just a comment on the use of bells. I’ve never used a bell on a dog until recently, and I know this is not really related to the episodes you’re referring to. I have a 3 year old GSP that is losing her eyesight due to a retinal condition that’s irreversible. The K9 eye specialist suggested we hook a bell to the collar of one of our other dogs when we run/hunt them while she can see because it will help her stay connected with the other dogs when she finally loses he sight. I’m hoping my girl will be able to continue to hunt and exercise with her sisters her entire life, the bell may aid in this…so don’t be too quick to judge bells on dogs, there may be reasons you’re not aware of.
I am not against bells, Dave. I like beepers too, when warranted. In your case, I am all for bells, beepers, and maybe even a Garmin Astro. You are a hero for helping her to continue hunting as long as she’s able and willing. Good luck and keep everyone here posted on your situation.
Scott,
Great show and congrats I would give my left well maybe to be in your spot, let me invite you to come out to High Desert Hunt Club and hunt behind my boy Hunter, he is a beautiful GSP 4yrs old and has become a popular dog out there. The hunt club is located in North Los Angeles County and is part of the Tejon Ranch, it is beautiful out there. Look us up and good hunting this season and I look forward to more shows. Thanks for what you do for our sport of upland game hunting. Bryan Giesen
Bryan, thanks – we did several episodes for my most recent Outdoor Channel series “Cast & Blast” at HD Hunt Club a few years back. Great place and we had a wonderful time! I’d heard the club was folding up the tent due to the lead ammo/condor thing. Please give me more details.
Scott
I liked your demo. Good Luck with it.
Down the line if your interested in doing a show, for wild Chukar out here in California, or even an Arizona Mearns Hunt let me know.
Larry Lowell
Thanks Larry. Wild chukars are my passion; California is just down the road. We should talk!
Hey Bill, no apology needed. They were presented as wild … considering the conditions, I’d believe it. We all know there are both at Flint Oak, so let’s just leave it at that and appreciate the dog work, surroundings, etc.
We will be shooting preserve chukars on another episode … and this fall, we’re hunting wild chukars for next year’s show.
Colin and Danny, if we didn’t include “less productive” work by less-than-finished dogs and shooters, there wouldn’t be enough footage for a show! Glad you like the approach. Kinda how we all hunt, if we’d be honest about it.
Thanks Bryce, still hoping to get out your way on leg #3 of the Awesome Upland Road Trip this fall.
Sorry Scott,
If you say those were wild birds I’ll have to believe you.
Flint Oak is a well known shooting preseve that releases pen reared quail, chukar, and pheasant as depicted for it’s shooting guests.
I guess some shooters would not know the difference between flushing and flying characteristics of pen-raised and wild birds.
Loved the segment and that it included the productive and less productive dog work. Shows that have all solid action do not seem real. Good friendly and familiar conversation instead of all bragging and instruction but with good information still.
Not sure I can get the channel showing these but will watch this site for clips and programming info!
I thought it was a very nice effort for a rough cut. Under the conditions mentioned the dogs were doing a good job. Personally, I like a show that portrays real hunting…and if that means showing an occasional dry point because of a running bird…well, that’s just reality.
Script-wise, maybe a comment about how well the wild bobs were holding would dispel any notion that these were planted ‘training’ birds.
Good luck on the show.
Buddy Knox, Colonel (ret) USAF
Very nice, Scott, you have captured how it really is.
I look forward to the finished product and future shows, most professional,
Neil Mace
Scott:
Great first cut. Hopefully we can share a few tips on dogs, handling, clubs and some special events. Just got the word on specific hunt dates for the hunts , give me a call or email and I will be happy to fill you in. Really like the Buddy and Me segment. Great way to condense the example into a few seconds.
“The difference between a good bird dog and a great dog is:
Birds & Shoe Leather”.
Bryce
I thoroughly enjoyed the rough cut. I thought that the show does strike a balance between education and entertainment. I love watching finished dogs as well as the not so finished dogs. Hunting with my not so finished dog is still a thrill to me and watching his “growth” in the field is rewarding.
Let us know when it airs… I want to set up my DVR to record the series!
Guys (and soon, hopefully, gals) …
Thanks for the feedback. Here are answers to your questions:
Believe it or not, most of those bobs are wild. Listen to the voiceover and you’ll learn that the ground was soaking wet as were the birds, hunkered down in mat-like cover, necessitating the kicking and “closeup” points. And frankly, I don’t have a problem with preserve birds, as long as everyone knows going in what is going on. Either way, I think the dogs handled them pretty well considering temperature and wet conditions. If you’ve never encountered this type of hunting situation, you may not appreciate the effort those dogs went to. Believe me, it weren’t easy!
Trying to strike a balance between entertainment and education, and frankly, most dog trainers’ material is better as an instructional DVD for avid enthusiasts, not a TV series.
You will see every flavor of dog and training by the end of the series, so be patient and learn something from every one, not just the finished dogs. If you’re a field trialer, you will be disappointed because that’s not what the show is about.
As I noted, this is a ROUGH cut. Among other things, the color correction has not been done. It is also a very low resolution version for web use. The finished high definition version will be very different.
“Rate card” is what we share with potential sponsors, telling them what they get for how much. If you have a few thousand extra dollars laying around, take a look!
And no, never any head-banging rock music. I promise.
Spread the word!
Whats a rate card?
I’m with Jim, and alot of other bird hunters, I grow weary of watching preserve shooting and drop kicked birds. Way too commonplace and about as exciting as watching all the bass, turkey and deer shows.
Show us wild bird hunting over finished dogs. Don’t care so much as to breed but ones that get out from under foot and are finished right.
I’m not so interested in the host’s shooting ability as I am in seeing good dog training, good dog performance and wild flying game birds in natural habitats.
It should be a lot more than just shooting and dropping poultry.
The pointer shows natural talent, seems stylish and did a nice job pointing, backing and retrieving.
I’d like to see more steadiness and finish in both dogs, and I think you give to much credit to the Britt.
Parts of the imagery seems too underexposed, and I’d edit out the kennel points. As in bird hunting I’d like to see how the dog moves, hunts, goes to objectives, not just standing at set up birds.
Too much consistent idle chat going on. Share some worthwhile info instead. Involve some really knowledgeable dog folk. There are some really good ones out there.
Thanks for not blaring head-banging rock down our ears.
I’d like to see video of some of todays top pointing dog trainers and their best dogs. Lets see them in the field trials, tests, and hunting afield. How do those pros get their charges in the fine athletic condition that they do?
I wish you the best of luck with your show, but hope to see more than whats so common.
Very well done. Great dog work by both dogs in my opinion. Thanks.
-Trapper
Scott,
Nice job! I’m envious of you. I’ve long wanted to create a DVD to go with my book “Upland Hunting in Alaska.” Don’t know if I’ll ever get it done.
My favorite bird hunting show has been watching Harley Jackson on American Bird Hunter. We were hoping to do a show up here in Alaska this fall, but it looks like he never hooked up with a sponsor to pay for it.
I’m not one for hunting where I have to kick quail out of the grass in front of the dogs nose, but your show was done well. I like the fact that the dogs weren’t running out of control like they are on a lot of shows.
I wish you great luck with your show, and I look forward to watching every episode.
Warm regards,
Jim McCann
