A peek into the operations of a leading choke tube maker, and insights into the need for a new non-profit to help bird dogs - and their owners. This week in our periodic "Industry Insider" series, Scott Trulock of Trulock Chokes joins us to delve deep into their manufacturing process, materials, engineering, and he previews the company's newest project - a classic .22 cal. rifle. Scott also talks choke tube selection for various birds, matching choke size to non-toxic ammo, and offers shooting tips.
Then Jim Burris, founder of the Bird Dog Society explains why there's a need for his relatively new organization. Filling unfilled niches, and helping dogs and their owners lead richer, more fulfilling lives together is the overall goal. But there's much more to this growing group, including a clever, more-inclusive and fun field trial format plus help with a number of topics not addressed by other groups.
"Road Trip" answers a listener question on finding places to hunt where motorized traffic is minimized; and we find out how many of you hunted out of state last season.
