The hosts' passion for the culture, dogs, and history of hunting is contagious and their enthusiasm shines through in every episode.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is its unique focus on field trials.

In my heart I am restless, for I know I am called to the greatness of my true being. Let me not tarry in my weaker places.” -Marianna Williamson (follow on Substack) Hunting and conservation has taken me to places that have exposed and challenged the greatness of my being and my awareness of the presence of a higher Being. As the flower bends toward the sun, we too should bend toward the vibrancy of our calling.  Honor that call by responding to it. I was just on the phone with Michael O'Casey from TRCP and Brian Grossenbacher and we all have been blessed to work and display our passions every day in nature.  Our work takes us places when, just a year ago I was in a classroom. But bending toward MY sun was what put me on a path out of the classroom and onto a journey that has truly filled my spirit, from TEACHING in a new capacity (LTH with PFQF and BHA) to Guiding hunts and TEACHING and SHOWCASING my ART, DOGS, and KNOWLEDGE to people who seek new experiences in the Deep South. I am RESTLESS- seeking to explore new types of bird dogs, planning to go to France to look at an older breed of French Pointer (we will see), and investing my passions into getting Ícaro through the NAVDHA Utility Test down the road.  My Sporting Life is a life of inquisition and exploration and I am grateful and blessed for that.

Abbott is an avid and passionate horse and dog lover and she wanted to keep Don, Tom and Nancy's legacies alive as well. Abbott's main goal was to expand Field Trial and Bird Dog stories throughout the entire year. She made plans to expand the publication beyond the annual special issue and transitioned it into a magazine. Abbott's vision is to produce a high quality magazine for the sporting south. Hunt & Field's first rebranded issue will publish at the end of February recapping the 124th National Championships. It will highlight the 2023 National Champion, all the dogs contending for the Championship, the owners and handlers. It will also feature Historic Ames Plantation, Quail populations, Forestry & Conservation efforts as well as Deer related diseases and more.  You can read my latest article from Hunt & Field HERE  Subscribe HERE   ORVIS ADVENTURES Enlist the services of Orvis-endorsed guide Durrell Smith and staff at The Sporting Life Notebook on your wingshooting trip to Georgia Click HERE to Request more information  View more of our hunts on our TSLN Youtube Channel  STUBBEN NORTH AMERICA Check out custom saddles and equestrian accessories that bring heritage, tradition, innovation, and performance into the horseback bird dog and field trial communities of the uplands.  Check out your next saddle and request a saddle fitting at https://stubbennorthamerica.com/ THANK YOU STUBBEN FOR MY NEW CUSTOM SCOUT SADDLE!  Check it out HERE Learn more about BIOMEX seats DOGS UNLIMITED Get your GARMIN ALPHA 300i and TT25 Combo HERE Dakota283 Kennels D283 Promo Code GDN10 for 10% off your next Crate  THE CHARLES JORDAN GROUP https://www.charlesjordangroup.com/ Backcountry Hunters and Anglers  VIEW Durrells “Upland Hunting Elsewhere Seminar and the Backcountry Hunters and Anglers 2023 Rendezvous at the link below Check out Durrell's Picks | Dogs Unlimited & Cody Hunt Gear on Youtube
