Nick and Tyler are joined in this episode with Josh from Upland Obsession. Josh has been in the bird dog world for a good number of years, is a big game hunter and spends many days each fall traveling to different states chasing birds.

He is not our here trying to get those pile pics and limits but rather get his dog the work they deserve first and the number of birds second. I feel this is a great way to approach hunting.
