Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 23: The Bird Dog Inn with Garrett Baker
Q: What advice do you have for someone new to upland hunting?
Don't be afraid to reach out; the community is willing to help, and you can start by simply going on a hunt with someone, observing dogs at work, and gradually getting involved.
Episode 23: The Bird Dog Inn with Garrett Baker
Q: What have you learned from Lou and how does it influence how you train Lexi and Gracie?
Lou taught Garrett patience and the importance of slowing down, a philosophy Garrett now applies to training multiple dogs, balancing ambition with realistic pacing, and applying this to his kids and life.
Episode 23: The Bird Dog Inn with Garrett Baker
Q: What sparked the Bird Dog Inn and how did you get involved?
The inn came about after Garrett and his family accidentally discovered the concept, bought and renovated the place in South Dakota, and now offer a cost-effective, DIY-friendly base for pheasant and grouse hunting with access to abundant public land.
Episode 24: RGS Canada with Mark Symes and Andrew Lowles
Q: What makes RGS Canada uniquely different from the U.S. model?
Mark Symes explains that RGS Canada operates as a sister organization with country-specific access and habitat challenges; the organization is much smaller, and there is a focus on building a Canadian identity, improving habitat, and growing chapters across provinces to reflect Canada's diverse forest management and access rules.
Episode 30: Setters, Appalachian Grouse, and Guiding with Justin Madron
Q: Tell us all about Philly, your Llewellin setter.
Philly came into my life after I'd hunted for several years without a dog. She was started, and the decision to bring her home happened when I was already deep into grouse season, which allowed us to begin hunting together immediately and grow as a partnership.
