Amaazen Outdoors Podcast

In this episode, Brian and Dave discuss their hunting season experiences, including their travels to Montana and hunting for sharp-tailed grouse and huns. They also talk about the impact of ice and snow on grouse covers in the Northwoods. Dave shares insights into his YouTube channel, Under 40 Yards, and the challenges of the YouTube algorithm. They also discuss the differences between woodcock hunting and grouse hunting, including the behavior of the birds and the hunting strategies involved. This part of the conversation covers woodcock hunting, choosing a hunting dog, the cost of well-bred dogs, the importance of hunting dogs, childhood memories of a short hair, the misadventures of Bandit, transitioning to a short hair, choosing a hunting dog breeder, considerations when getting a hunting dog, the connection to the Northwoods, exploring new hunting areas, the diverse landscape of the Northwoods, grouse hunting in the Barrens, and tips for grouse hunting. In this conversation, Dave Lessard and Brian discuss various aspects of hunting, including the role of a hunting dog, getting started in hunting, the joy of hunting in October, hunting in December, hunting in the snow, hunting quail in Arizona, popular hunting destinations, Pheasant Fest, the challenges of Chicago, and future hunting plans. Follow Dave on Instragram @underfortyyards Watch Autumn Blaze 10 on Youtube on the Under Forty Yards channel  Book a October Ruffed Grouse Hunt with Brian at Amaazen Outdoors    Takeaways A hunting dog can greatly enhance the hunting experience and make you a better student of the species and the hunt. Getting started in hunting is simple - just grab some shells and a shotgun and go for a walk. It may be challenging at first, but it's a rewarding experience. October is a special time for hunting, and spending time in the woods during this month is highly recommended. Hunting in December can be tough, but it offers the opportunity to hunt when the birds are grouped back up again. Hunting in the snow presents its own challenges, but it can also be a unique and enjoyable experience. Arizona is a popular destination for hunting quail, and the desert birds provide a different hunting experience. Pheasant Fest is a great event for hunters to connect with others and learn more about hunting. Chicago can be a challenging city to navigate, and the Northwoods offer a more peaceful and enjoyable hunting experience. Planning future hunting trips and exploring new hunting spots is an exciting part of being a hunter.

They also touch on the presence of quail and grouse in Iowa and the impact of winter on bird numbers. Finally, they discuss Nick's experiences running Griffons and the loss of dogs.

Good boots are essential for hunting in rough terrain. Winter weather can impact bird numbers, but successful nesting in the spring is crucial for population growth. Running Griffons can be a rewarding experience, but losing a dog is always difficult. Training a puppy requires patience and understanding of their behavior.

High School Shooting sports are at risk of funding. I think most folks don't understand this issue at its core. Now coming to light are some of the most outrageous overreaches which should wake people up. The Biden administration not only is pushing to defund one of the fastest growing High-School sports, shooting sports. They are trying to defund Archery and Hunters Education. Weak minded Republicans are also to blame for this mess due to a bill comprising the issue which is now being misinterpreted to defund these activities. Mark also shares some insight into his recent co-authoring of an article in a wildlife biology journal. This publication was in rebuttal to a group of quail biologists who claimed that Bobwhites would be better off today if they were included in the migratory bird treaty act. Mark brings up some interesting points in the debate and shares more about the publication.

Audio Quailty Warning - Zencastr FAILED and Brad had to call into the studio. Our phone call was poorer audio than Brian expects. He apologizes for this show not meeting normal standards from guest audio quality perspective. However, the conversation is too good to not to air. Data collection - we are all aware of it. Most of us probably acknowledge our privacy is invaded daily but give in to the modern world without much caution. Brian is guilty as charged. He definitely has a love hate relationship with technology and its dark side. Have you wondered - should I give the Feds the real numbers or just make them up? In all seriousness, Brian as been there. Why do I have to give how many birds I hunted last year (goose, ducks, woodcock, ext.). I had a good season last year - We ate a lot of woodcock. Am I going to draw attention from a Warden if I answer that I harvested 20 woodcock last year? These thoughts I'm sure have crossed your mind as the clerk behind the license machine asks those HIP Certification questions. Brian and Brad clear the air on HIP. What the data is used for. How submitting information helps hunter opportunity and proper management tools. Even more, How this data helps protect our hunting heritage from encroachments by other governmental agencies. Brad Bortner' s Background. Brad spend an extensive amount of his career working for United States Fish and Wildlife Service. After many different roles around Migratory birds he was promoted in 2011 to the Chief for the Division of Migratory Bird Management. THE GUY for all things migratory at USFW. During his tenure, Brad played an vital role implementing the collection and analyzation of data. After sometime the HIP Certification was formally launched as a tool for USFW to understand real harvest and success rates of hunters. This information has been paramount in setting regulations and implementing changes to waterfowl and migratory birds species. The data has impacted our populations, habitat, and opportunity to recreate immensely.

Warning - this podcast contains cuss words, beer drinking and smoking - please be advised. May not be suitable for young children. Brian dropped a few too many F-bombs to make this a family friendly show. With the kick off of the 2022 bird hunting season Brian and a pack of dogs headed west to make a pilgrimage to the last best place on earth... Montana. Brian was able to wrangle Travis to come over to camp and hang out behind the Yukon (to stay out of the wind) and bull sh** about the week. Travis had great success chasing Huns. Brian didn't do so well on the Huns but banged out sharp-tails! Travis and Brian both hunt Kansas so there is a smattering of bird hunting talk. Enjoy the show!

Brian has an in studio guest for a great conversation regarding some of the under appreciated fish that get little attention. Drew has been angling for Redhorse, gar, bowfin, and other species the state of Minnesota regulates as "rough fish." Drew and his brother started www.roughfish.com in 2000 to promote and change public opinion on these fish. With some public opinion changing, Minnesota is also proposing with a new bill (No Junk Fish Bill) to list and regulate these species separately. The debate around game and non-game species has been going on for a long time. Today, the Sportfishing Restoration act provides federal funds to game fish species. The non game fish are left out. Getting this bill passed will provide more options, funding, and tools to fisheries managers in Minnesota. This is HUGE because these fish have a symbiotic relationship with our game species. Furthermore, they are NATIVE to our waters. Giving the future at stake, managing ALL fish is important. There are native fish that are categorized by "rough fish" that are endangered or threatened.

Mark Jones comes on the show to talk about his past career as a wildlife biologist and his new direction. Mark has taken on a new Role with Gun owners of America to spearhead their Second Amendment Hunters initiative. Brian and Mark stumble onto a fairly heated topic around Bobwhite Quail research and some recent publications asserting better quail populations. This publication definitely impacted Brian's view on gentleman bob. However, Mark is working with other Wildlife Biologists to rebut that publications. This was an unexpected turn in the conversation so early. Mark promised to come back once their article is published later this year. The main meat and potato's of this episode - Mark and Brian discuss the important role hunters have in the nations gun debate. Mark called Brian a few days after recording when the Biden administration released new potential regulations on gun sales, parts sales, and an effort to make a national gun registration. If you are a hunter and love the outdoors - you should be supporting GOA.
