Bird hunting podcast: trial champ, hunter & trainer trade notes, share their secrets

How do you become one of just five women to win a national amateur field trial championship? That's the question I asked of Camie Barrow, and Jim Keller, the pro trainer who helped her bring her Springer Bailey to the rarified air of a national championship. Their answers are helpful whether you aspire to competitive dog games, or simply to train a better hunting dog.

From "dog psychology" to the handler's mental preparation, the tools they use, what a trial encompasses and how it all translates to bird hunting, we'll cover it with Camie and Jim.

Our Road Trip public access segment covers some New Mexico quail ground, and listeners answer the question about their use of mobile mapping apps.
