Answering your calls and questions on the bird hunting podcast: dog training and care. And training the trainer!

From force breaking to whining in the duck blind, if you don't learn something from this bird hunting podcast - about you or your dog - you need to turn up the volume!

We had calls on everything: the importance of patience and reasonable expectations for young dogs ... hunt test tips ... using backing dogs and silhouettes ... pointers vs. flushers for ringnecks and training a young dog alongside an old dog. I'll put in my two cents' worth.

A capsule review of the new book from Ronnie Smith Kennels and some suggestions on finding training birds from less-common sources.

A record number of callers, hopefully a few helpful answers, and of course, a new place to hunt open to the public that you've probably driven by on the way to other hunting spots!
