Bird dogs come and go over a hunting life, and every new puppy is a chance to do it better than the last. Fresh off bringing home a new setter pup, Nick Larson sits down with Steve Snell of Gun Dog Supply to talk through what 50-plus dogs have taught Steve about raising the next one, from the first weeks at home to a lifetime in the field. It had been since 2018 — episode #12 — that Steve was last on the show, and a lot of ground gets covered here. The conversation opens on bird dog safety: heat and when to call a hunt, the real risk math on rattlesnakes versus ticks, and the hazard most owners underrate (porcupines, not snakes). From there it works its way through nearly every stage of a dog's life — breed selection, the first few weeks with a puppy, crate training, sound exposure, table work, and the gear that actually matters — before closing on Garmin's new TT25 beeper and why Steve runs mini flex bands on every dog he owns. A throughline keeps surfacing: the hunter's job is to make good decisions on the dog's behalf, because the dog won't make them for itself. Expect to Learn: - Why Steve sees protecting the dog as the hunter's responsibility — the dog won't protect itself. - How heat, sun, wind, and terrain change the call on whether to run a dog at all. - Why porcupines may be a bigger day-to-day problem than the rattlesnakes everyone fears. - How Steve thinks about matching a breed to where and how you actually hunt. - What Steve focuses on in a puppy's first few weeks, and why he keeps sessions to five or ten minutes. - Why he raises every dog inside the house, and how exposure to noise, crates, kids, and vehicles builds a bulletproof dog. - The only two pieces of gear Steve insists on for a new puppy — and why a drag line does so much work. - What's new with Garmin's TT25 beeper, and why Steve recommends a mini flex band for every bird dog. Frequently Asked: When should you stop hunting a bird dog in the heat? Steve uses roughly 65 degrees as his cutoff in Texas and says he'll never run a dog over 70 when it's sunny with no wind. The number isn't fixed — humidity, cloud cover, and wind all change it. His larger point: bird dogs won't quit on their own, so it's on the hunter to make the call, even when that means not hunting at all. What's the most underrated danger for a bird dog in the field? Porcupines, in Steve's experience. Snakes get treated as the boogeyman, but porcupine encounters are far more frequent, and they smell appealing to a pointing dog. The real trouble is the dog that doesn't learn its lesson — the one that goes back for revenge. He'd take a skunk encounter over a porcupine any day. How do you choose the right bird dog breed? Steve's rule is to match the breed to where and how you actually hunt the majority of the time — not to the breed you find most appealing. He also starts his search geographically, buying pointers out of lines hunted in tough country like Texas, Oklahoma, and the Southwest, because a dog bred where you hunt is built for it. What should you do with a bird dog puppy in the first few weeks? Steve keeps it simple and short. Sessions run five to ten minutes, broken up across the day, so the puppy never gets burned out or sour. He focuses on self-control and exposure over drills, and he always leaves them wanting more — and he prefers raising the dog inside the house from day one. Notable Quotes: "To me it's the hunter's responsibility to protect the dog 'cause the dog's not gonna protect himself." — Steve Snell "Developing a puppy — that's my favorite part of the game." — Steve Snell Resources Mentioned: - Steve Snell's "7 Puppy Tips" puppy-raising article (Gun Dog Supply): https://www.gundogsupply.com/2026-04-23-7-puppy-tips.html - Garmin TT25 Mini (the beeper/collar Steve discussed): https://www.gundogsupply.com/garmin-tt25-mini.html Follow Steve: Gun Dog Supply — https://www.gundogsupply.com Follow Nick: Instagram @birdshot.podcast — https://BirdshotPodcast.com Listen: - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/17EVUDJPwR2iJggzhLYil7 - Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/birdshot-podcast/id1288308609 - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkIF3w6P9rkuciwX-jEMG3g Support the Show: - onX Hunt — use code BSP20 to save 20% on your onX Hunt subscription. - Trulock Chokes — use code BS10 to save 10%.

Send us Fan MailA spring bear bait run can feel routine… until a sow comes in hard and closes the distance to two feet. We're joined by New Brunswick hunter, guide, and podcaster Wesley Thebeau for a wide-ranging talk that moves from traditional archery fundamentals to the real workload behind running a bear outfitting camp, plus the bird dog obsession that takes over every fall.Wesley explains how he got hooked on trad bow hunting, why “trad bow close” is a non-negotiable standard for many hunters, and how he sets baits to deliver true 10 to 15 yard shots. We dig into spring bear hunting strategy, tracking decisions, and why spring can outperform fall when natural food is everywhere. Then we get the backstory on March and Milco and how an unexpected partnership forms with NHL star Brad Marchand, including what it's like to watch a world-class athlete bring that same mindset to archery practice and camp life.From there we shift into upland hunting in New Brunswick, woodcock migration, thick clearcut cover, and what makes the region a legitimate destination for grouse and woodcock hunters. Wesley talks versatile hunting dogs like the Deutsch Drahthaar, why they demand year-round structure, and how fat biking groomed winter trails keeps both dogs and handlers ready. We round it out with wild game cooking, the carnivore diet discussion, and his push to improve the outdoor industry through United Guides and Outfitters of New Brunswick.If you enjoy spring bear hunting, traditional archery, bird dogs, woodcock hunting, and honest outfitting stories, hit subscribe, share this with a hunting buddy, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.Check us out on Facebook  Hunts On Outfitting, or myself Ken Marr.

If you are struggling with lower back stiffness, particularly from a herniated disc or degenerative disc disease, your instinct might be to stretch the area using common mobility exercises like knee hugs, child's pose, or pelvic tilts. However, this approach often perpetuates the injury. When you have a lower back injury, the structural integrity of your spine is compromised, leading to profound instability. In response, the body tightens the muscles in the hamstrings and buttocks to protect the vulnerable area. Stretching the lower back in an attempt to relieve this stiffness merely forces the spine into further flexion, exacerbating the underlying instability and weakening the injured segments.Clinical evidence, including routine X-ray analysis of patients with chronic back issues, frequently reveals a pronounced flattening of the lumbar lordosis and a posterior pelvic tilt—meaning the spine is chronically flexed. Subjecting a flexed, unstable spine to further forward-bending stretches provides no rehabilitative value and actively prevents healing. Instead of attempting to increase spinal mobility, the focus must shift towards establishing spinal stability in a neutral posture. By mastering foundational core control and progressively building load-bearing capacity through targeted strength training—such as squats and hip hinges—you can effectively support the spine, alleviate compensatory muscle stiffness, and facilitate true recovery within your rehabilitation programme.Key Topics Covered

  Emily has been involved in the dog sport world for a while, starting with agility and training and eventually moving into shed hunting when she met her husband. She trained her Lab and then her first German Wirehaired Pointer for shed hunting. They even started a shed dog club in their area. Through this club, they met friends who took them chukar hunting and soon after, they were hooked. Although her first GWP didn't show a lot of interest in shed hunting, he excels as a bird dog. Emily rescued another GWP along the way and is now training her new puppy, a Wirehaired Vizsla named Kanyon, for the NAVHDA Natural Ability test and being a wild bird dog.    I'm sure you'll enjoy listening to Emily's story.

This week, Ali and Jon sit down with Steve Hall, a bird hunting guide and owner of Cast Iron Kennels in Iowa, to talk all things upland hunting and dog training. Steve shares his experience running a breeding kennel specializing in English Setters, offering insight into what makes a great hunting dog, how he trains them, and what goes into guiding successful bird hunts. Whether you're passionate about upland birds, working dogs, or the craft behind a well-run kennel, this episode brings expert knowledge straight from the field.

For the first episode of the year, I'm kicking it off with another story of someone who got a pointing dog as a pet and then decided to get into hunting later.  In this episode of Tales of Accidental Bird Dogs, I sit down with Jeff Beck, whose journey into the bird dog world started with one goal: finding an active dog he could train and do fun things with. Jeff's first dog, a GSP named Jinx, was originally meant to be a versatile companion—obedience work, UKC shed dog competitions, and staying busy. But everything changed when he took her to a pro trainer for some bird exposure. The moment he saw her lock up on point, he was hooked. Fast forward to today, and Jeff is deep in the bird dog life. He now owns five dogs (four of them GSPs), runs hunt tests with his kids, guides, maintains a serious pigeon coop, and operates a small obedience training business. What started as "just wanting a dog to train" has turned into a full-blown family lifestyle centered around dogs, birds, and learning together. You can get in touch with Jeff on Facebook at Point Perfect K9 Academy.  -- The Accidental Bird Dog Podcast is sponsored by OnX Hunt and part of the HerUpland Podcast Network.

In this episode, I sit down with Geri Orta to talk about her incredible German Shorthaired Pointer, Ranger (VC TC AFC OTCH2 Sageflyer Gorta's Ranger UDX8 OGM GO VER RE MH NA CA BCAT). Ranger made history as the oldest dog to pass the NAVHDA Invitational and earn a Versatile Champion title—at an astounding 12 years and 9 months old. Geri shares how she set ambitious goals for Ranger from the very beginning, aiming for him to become the breed's first AKC triple champion. Even after retiring him from the field, Ranger wasn't content to slow down. At age 10, he returned to competition, and Geri decided to give NAVHDA a try. Together, they achieved more than most could dream of. This conversation is not only about titles and achievements, but also about the bond between handler and dog, perseverance, and what's possible when our bird dogs remain healthy and motivated in their senior years. Ranger has been an inspiration to me personally, especially when I was deciding whether to retire my own dog, Zara, from NAVHDA events. If you've ever wondered what older dogs are capable of, this episode will leave you inspired.

I interviewed Adrienne Barber in our latest installment of the Tales of Accidental Bird Dog series. Adrienne got a Spinone, Fig, as an active running and adventure companion in 2016. After a while, she noticed that Fig wouldn't stop pointing tweety birds while she was walking her in the city, so she decided to look into hunting. She got involved in NAVHDA and eventually ran Fig in the Natural Ability test for evaluation only as she was a little past the age cut-off.  Since then, Adrienne started hunting and recently got another bird dog, a Hungarian Wirehaired Vizsla, named Frankie. We talk about her journey into the bird dog world, how life circumstances slowed down Fig's development a bit, and what she's done differently with Frankie. Adrienne's story is very relatable and I think you will enjoy it!  You can find Adrienne on Instagram at @mostlyfigandfran.  -- The Accidental Bird Dog Podcast is sponsored by onX Hunt and Elevate Pet Provisions.

The AKC just made a major change to field trial rules: judges in walking stakes can now use ATVs and UTVs instead of being required to ride horses. To unpack what this means for the sport, I sit down with Paul Hermes — a Florida-based AKC field trial and hunt test judge — to talk through the impact. Paul is realistic about the situation and in an ideal world, he would prefer to have horses for judging. But he also recognizes the practical challenges: horses are increasingly hard to source, and many younger participants don't own them. We discuss the upsides of this shift, the potential challenges it brings, and why, overall, this move could help keep field trials alive and more accessible for the next generation. You can find Paul on Facebook or email him at phermes1@gmail.com.

I went down to get a barrel of beer from Watermark Brewery, and it turned into one of my favorite conversations. Like many of us, the idea to jump into the world of hunting with dogs can get us a little over our skis. It's no different than anyone who has the passion to start something that they know nothing about. Yet they have the desire and passion to stick it out and make the best of it!!

  Believe it or not, communication is about far more than just the words one speaks. This week's guest on The Unbeatable Mind, communication expert Michael Hoeppner, argues that much like dance or martial arts, communication is a full-body act.    As a world-recognized expert on public speaking, Michael, along with Mark, sheds light on the Navy SEALS' powerful spirit shout “Hoo Ya”, and how it embodies the physical essence of communication. Together they explore the intricacies of vocal variety, focusing on the significance of pace, pitch, pause, power, and placement, in the delivery of dynamic speech.  Michael digs into practical exercises one can use to overcome some common pitfalls in effective communication. He details how these exercises can transform one's communication skills to ensure that their messages will be impactful and memorable.    Lastly, he and  Mark touch upon the art of storytelling and the use of poetic devices in crafting narratives that stick with those that listen. Whether speaking in front of the public, or catching up with an old friend, Michael invites listeners to join him on the journey towards becoming a compelling communicator.    Key Topics Include: Communication as a Physical Act: Listen to Michael explain how communication is embodied physically—-it's more than just the words you speak, more akin to yoga or dance.  Eliminating “Um's”: Explore the various exercises Michael presents to eliminate what he calls “filler words”, and choose what you say with precision.  The “Five P's” of Vocal Variety: Discover how the voice is much like an instrument in how it implements pace, pitch, pause, placement, and power. Mastering these “Five P's” can radically transform how your message is received.  Leveraging Poetic Devices: Learn how to harness techniques from the art of storytelling in order to enhance the power of your message.   Michael Hoeppner, author of the National Best Selling Book "Don't Say Um," is the founder and CEO of GK Training, a boutique communications training company serving Fortune 100 companies, universities, and individuals around the world.
