  • Everything Hunting Discussed

    My favourite podcast right now. Despite not being a falconer or huge into falconry, I enjoy all the aspects of all the hunting and different styles of hunting being discussed. I also love the working/hunting dog work being discussed. This podcast even inspired me to buy the sporting chance book written by Mannix. The hosts are great. Keep it up!

  • Brutally Honest & Entertaining

    You guys can definitely make some serious conversations lighter. Enjoy the content on dachshunds and all the non-falconry hunting is great. Could listen to a part III with Geoff Hirschi, interesting dude. Thanks for making mundane chores go by faster.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 134 - Amy Buckendahl
Q: What could... What's the likelihood that somebody from the East Coast is going to be able to come there and catch like a pheasant?
Buckendahl says pheasants are common in Iowa and often travel through roadside ditches between feeding, wintering, and roosting areas. A bird suited to pheasant hunting has a good chance of catching one.
Episode 134 - Amy Buckendahl
Q: For those people who have not been to NAFME, what could they expect there?
Buckendahl describes a Sunday-through-Friday schedule with hunting time, workshops, speakers, vendors, a weathering yard, raffles, and family-friendly activities. Newcomers can join hunting groups and attend beginner-accessible talks.
Episode 133 - Dennis & Tammy Kerekes
Q: What is your opinion on logging? Is it a net negative or net positive?
Dennis calls logging a double-edged sword: goshawks nest in mature hardwood stands, while snowshoe hares and ruffed grouse are found in dense second-growth habitat nearby. Logging can displace a pair, though suitable habitat close by may allow it to shift its nest.
Episode 133 - Dennis & Tammy Kerekes
Q: How do you find goshawk nests?
They use habitat clues and sightings to locate likely areas, check for old nests, and return before sunrise in spring to listen for courtship calls. They mark compass bearings and later walk those lines to find active nest sites.
Episode 132 - Bill Smith
Q: What do you think about the claim that killing coyotes is futile because they reproduce more?
Smith says coyotes can return in similar numbers, but attributes that mainly to surrounding populations moving into newly available territory rather than females deliberately increasing reproduction in response to removals.
