Semi-auto on your mind? Often we pooh-pooh this choice … yours truly included. Shotgun choice is a complicated subject. Aesthetics, tradition, comfort, accuracy, budget, even what you’re hunting all enter into the process. And in the end, shooting what works for you is most important, not some snob’s opinion or fashion. Here are some things to think about … and some specs on the new Pointer FT12. Plus, some great bird dog work: wild Kansas pheasants handled artfully by an old shorthair and eager Vizsla. https://PointerShotguns.com

Let's all go back to e-collar school with Pete Fisher. A consultant to Dogtra, the collar company, he's also an award-winning pro trainer and avid hunter. He gives a tutorial on all the critical uses from steadiness to retrieving, covers introducing a collar to young dogs, and reminds us that timing really is everything. We'll learn when and when not to use a remote training collar, other uses and capabilities he's built a career on, and transitioning from yard to field. "Fix It" offers a more realistic way to practice your field shooting at the range, and everyone has a chance to sound off on pet peeves, in our social-media segment.

Welcome. more access = more hunters = more conservation.

Why this website? Find bird hunting spots ... sounds easy, but it's more complicated than the statement above, with a lot of moving parts. But it's also absolutely true. Lack of accessible land is the biggest reason many of us quit hunting or never start in the first place. My hope is this website will help - because without hunters, there is virtually no conservation.

But that's not all ... there's the country's most widely-distributed upland hunting TV show, a podcast, educational video library, and weekly newsletter full of fun and information (sign up below).
