Friday Fave: Bird hunting road trip! Nevada and California wild birds

Enjoy this trip into the field - maybe you need a hunting fix about now.

Buckle up for a first-hand report on a recent wingshooting road trip in search of quail and chukars ... and better weather. We'll be hunting Nevada and California and learning a lot. Some astounding dog work and fascinating observations on bird behavior and habitat, especially in the Golden State. Strategies need adjusting in the high desert of California, where cactus is king and rattlesnakes roam all year ... even finding birdy places requires a different point of view.

"Fix It" covers some practical pre-hunt tips and listeners share some fascinating dog and bird hunting trivia.

You get a chance to enter to win a pair of Pyke Gear Dakota pants (value $230) in our furfeathersfriends.com sweepstakes, too, but only if you listen and know the Word of the Week.
