Upland Bird Hunting in Michigan focusing on Ruffed Grouse and woodcock. The goal of this podcast is to have a conversation that is genuine and relevant while having the feeling of sitting around the campfire or dinner table. The conversations drift and detour as every conversation should. Habitat, methods, bird dogs, the past and future of hunting are some of the many topics found in camp conversations. You're invited to pull up a chair and join the BirdCamp conversation.

Lola was the lucky youth who benefitted from my Axis Challenge at the 2025 SASSS Classic. A series of gentlemanly wagers raised some funds to take a young shooter out hunting. Myself and Andrew Frank guided for Lola and

WARNING!! This may be my longest podcast yet. Jes and I talk quite a bit about the woman's perspective of the outdoors and a bit about bro cultures influence on the lady hunter. We both would like some serious input and
Matt and I get rabbit trailed early but finally get to the topic of pigeon shooting. Its a fascinating topic for me and this conversation only is a small beginning to the topic. Thank you to our sponsors Aspen Thicket Gr

Mike had me bring the microphones along to his open house at Haymarsh Hunt Club and recorded with a live audience. There were new and old friends taking a few minutes at the recording table. Thank you to our sponsors Asp

Jeff wanted to get the word out about the new V3 dog vest and catch up on this falls plans. Of course there was plenty of BirdCamp shop talk as well. The GoFundMe link mentioned is here. https://www.gofundme.com/f/7zmz6-
Nate and I eventually get into the topic I wanted to focus on with him, habitat crossover. The things he looks for when scouting for deer are many of the same things we upland hunters take note of. Brushy edges, concealm
I finally had Andrew on the podcast. He's one of the regulars that travel around Michigan shooting the SxS events. We mostly stayed on task. Thank you to our sponsors Aspen Thicket Grouse Dogs aspenthicketgrousedogs.com
