Podcasts about braker

According to Garden & Gun magazine, he's one of the top five dog trainers in the South. His track record as a field trialer and hunter, proves it. Todd Agnew of Craney Hill Kennels takes us to spaniel school in this episode. Pointer fans take note: his views on dogs cross the divide, so get ready to learn as well. From teaching range for flushing dogs, to what motivates a hunting dog, Todd's point of view is a little different than many other trainers. He's big on creating the right relationship between a dog and its handler ... and how dynamic that relationship can be. He'll outline some new ways to look at everything from retrieving to when the dog takes charge in the field. And what the heck is "spaniel action?" "Fix it" keeps your dog dry, and listeners chime in on empty shotgun hulls left on the ground. You get a chance to enter to win the Sage & Braker shotgun cleaning mat in our furfeathersfriends.com sweepstakes, too, but only if you listen and know the Word of the Week.

If you haven't had your close-to-perfect hunt yet this year, re-live mine and maybe learn something. Or get inspired to do one more trip. Either way, there are tips and observations, suggestions and hints from an uphill walk in Great Basin country. "Fix It" has a cold-weather shooting tip, and listeners share their artful dead bird photos.

If you have a young dog or are getting one, listen carefully! Jim Van Engen's Right Start Kennel has cranked out almost 200 field trial champions thanks to his unique specialty: the first two years of a dog's life. He'll outline his overall philosophy, as well as practical tips on everything from managing a dog's range to introducing gunfire. We'll cover retrieving and steadiness, verbal commands and e-collar use, too. Jim's specialty is Labradors, but he's owned shorthairs for decades, hunting them primarily for fun but also competing in NSTRA trials, so there's something for everyone in this episode. We'll review listeners' dog breed preferences from the Upland Nation Index survey, and "Fix It" offers a shooting tactic that might add a bird to your bag once in a while.

Need a chukar fix? How about a few valley quail too? I'll debrief a recent hunt of mine ... sort of a bookend thing, with stunning dog work at both ends. We pull a few thousand feet of elevation, miss a few birds and connect on others. I'll talk terrain, habitat, strategy and tactics plus some pure dumb luck too. A fascinating find or two, as well. "Fix It" has a few theories on why birds scatter this time of year, and we'll take a sneak peek at the Upland Nation Index and your responses to the longest-running, largest private-sector survey of upland hunters. Favorite dog breed? What are the key issues you face? We'll take a look.

Simon Braker joins Liz in this week's episode to discuss the vital importance of our yieldedness to Holy Spirit. It's possible to have Spirit filled language without Spirit filled experience. Recently, the Lord spoke three phrases to Simon that drastically shifted his perspective:“Many have a Charismatic theology with a cessationist experience”, “Many people know about the Holy Spirit without actually knowing the Holy Spirit”, and “Many have a business relationship with the Holy Spirit”. Anything that we put our confidence in other than God, is an idol. God has already given us everything, and we can access more of what God has given by our surrender and dependency on Him.
