CÆSAR GUERINI with Wes Lang
Q: Where do you think the shotgun markets are headed in the next, say, 10 years?
The trends in shotgun markets will continue towards smaller gauges, but significant challenges like accessibility to hunting and non-toxic shot regulations will impact the industry.
America's Wingshooting Traditions: Ruffed Grouse
Q: What is one mistake that you often see new grouse hunters make?
New grouse hunters often do not realize how quickly birds flush and fail to be prepared for fast reaction shots, which can lead to missed opportunities.
America's Wingshooting Traditions: Ruffed Grouse
Q: How can OnX really aid somebody who's exploring a 100% brand new and foreign area to them?
OnX provides GPS mapping tools that help hunters understand private and public land ownership, improving their chances of finding grouse by pinpointing the best hunting areas and managing safety.
Wild Game: From Field Care to Flavors with Hank Shaw
Q: What would you say is a go-to first step for hunters to improve their cooking skills?
For birds, get a pan very hot with oil, add the breast side down, and spoon the hot oil over it for even cooking without flipping.
Wild Game: From Field Care to Flavors with Hank Shaw
Q: What would you say to hunters who maybe don't want to deep dive into the cooking side of things?
There are two things that you should know if you're a little nervous; most amateur cooks overcook tender parts and undercook tough parts.
