Birdshot has a steady rotation of guests and topics that keep me listening.
I’ve long enjoyed this show since Nick came over from the Project Upland Podcast. Even after years of listening and repeat guests, I learn something new each time between deep dives and quick tips. If you’re a hardcore bird hunter, this show is packed with helpful insights and impact entertainment from genuinely passionate hunters and outdoor enthusiasts. Top notch work, Nick! 👏🏼
Always enjoy each episode and look forward to the next.
Hands-down, the best guest and best podcast you’ve produced so far.
Thanks again Nick for an engaging interview with another Mark, Mark Dinsmore. My experience with started (and rescue dogs) are the same as Mark describes. Anyone thinking about getting a bird dog or training a bird dog would be well served to listen to this Mark (Dinsmore) and Mark Payton. Well done Nick!
