One of the coolest parts of our conversation with Will is when we discuss the trial Bob is helping to judge down in South Carolina called St. Hubert's Field Trial at H. Cooper Black.

Kali hunts all over the place with her dogs and is truly one of the most dedicated bird dog lovers we know.

The boys got to learn a bit about old school cut down calls and waterfowl heritage with Brad from Parish Waterfowl and Jim Ronquest.

Tonight we have the pleasure of sitting down IN PERSON with our good buddy and retriever training all-star, Kevin Cheff (The Retriever Coach). If you haven't heard our other shows with Kevin, then do yourself a massive favor and scroll back to our previous shows and enjoy them: Episodes 97, 118, 126, 158 and 159A. The last two shows were a two-part series where Kevin explained all sorts of unique drills to help train your dog and tonight's show is similar. We begin the show getting to know Kevin a little more and hear about getting into the retriever world and then we hear about some of the seminars he has been at this summer. Kevin has a very impressive history competing with dogs in the HRC and Field Trial game, so his seminars are super thorough and educational. Seriously, if you haven't been to one or joined his FETCH program, then you should look into something like that. Then we dig into a full Q&A with Kevin from our patreon friends and he and Bob tag team some ways to solve problems while training duck dogs at all levels. Here's some of the topics covered: long swims in AKC tests and Derbys, building confidence, cold water and pups, fetching objects, creating an effective training plan, teaching swim by and the common pitfalls to watch out for, Master tests, poison birds and a ton more.

Tonight we have a special show with our well-bearded buddy from RGS, Nate Kennedy. Nate is an awesome storyteller and works hard to preserve habitat that we all like to hunt and explore. We begin the show chatting with Nate about his background in hunting and fishing and how he got hooked up with a cool job at RGS and we learn more about where dollars go when donated to RGS and AWS. Then we chat a little about bird habitat and dig into Nate's new hunting dog and how he has worked for the past year to prep him for this upcoming bird season. A special thank you to Nate for joining our show to get us all fired up about RGS, bird hunting, new dogs and all the things I'm drooling over as we get closer and closer to Fall.

Well, cheers to Lizzie and Elizabeth. After a whole lot of hard work, Bob finally got a dog to earn a QAA. Tonight's episode is just Bob and Kevin talking about the highs and lows of training, field trials and the long road it took to get a dog to earn that title. We also talk about the difference between Master Test and Field Trials because yea, it can be a bit confusing sometimes.

Today we have the pleasure of sitting down with Purina's Ray Voigt, one of the most insightful dog trainers you'll ever encounter. We've had Ray on the show in the past and the feedback was that he's a genius and a storyteller... so he is now a repeat guest. We had Ray at the kennel to record the show and hear about his summer roadtrip around the northeast and we review the National Amateur Field Trial Competition. We also discuss Master National and what Ray is doing to plan and prepare 3 months out from that level of competition. Then, we hear how Ray has conditioned dogs in the past with a roading system and get this... a kayak. We take a slight detour in conversation to hear about Ray's hunting trip to Argentina and how it's now on bucket list (and I bet yours, too). Okay, we jump back into dog training and talk about issues people have with their dogs and go into specific detail about how Ray would suggest fixing problems like loopy or crooked sits, bird boy blinds, line manners, watching birds and more. This is an extremely thorough conversation and Ray does a great job of explaining timing and what to watch for. Finally, we talk with Ray about some of the dogs he has trained in the past because they're often the "famous" dogs people refer to in their dog's pedigree. Seriously, go look through your dogs pedigree and you might find a dog Ray helped train. Want more Lone Duck? Join our Patreon and have Bob personally help work with you and your dog.

For this episode, we sit down and talk with our buddy, Casey Everett, about small game hunting. Except, when Casey goes hunting, he brings hawks that he taught to trust and work alongside him and then they bring home cool dinners. Yes, he wins the coolest hobby award. We start the show learning about Casey and how he got into falconry as a kid and we learn what it takes for someone to legally trap and keep birds of prey. Then we hear about his first bird and how one time it tore up his hand pretty bad while hunting. Then we dig into the nuts and bolts of the training, which is super interesting. If you listen closely, there's some similarities between what he does and what we do. It reminded me of bringing home a high drive puppy with tons of natural instincts and you have to build trust and a bond and help nurture those instincts so the dog realizes "ohhhhh we're partners here." Casey is a super knowledgeable guy and is really fun to chat with. Enjoy the show and give him a follow and tell him we sent ya. Cheers! Want more Lone Duck? Check out our patreon and chat with Bob, personally. He can help give you advice for your dog, ideas about training or maybe just some dating advice... the possibilities are endless.

Today we had the pleasure of speaking with Pat Stuart from the Canine Paradigm Podcast. Aside from being a highly intelligent, hard working and extremely knowledgeable about training dogs... Pat is truly a great storyteller. His ability to break down complex dog training scenarios and then explain it in a way that makes sense to just about anyone is not something you find anywhere. That's why we called Pat from across the world to chat about dogs, training and hear a few stories from his past. We begin the show hearing about Pat's podcast (which I'd encourage you to check out), his military background and how he got into working dogs. He said being near dogs in the military was so interesting, he wanted to dig into that world more. Some of the conversations we had during the show discuss positive reinforcement training, negative reinforcement training and we talk about the "unforced force fetch." One of the cool parts about listening to Pat is hearing how calculated and intentional he is with everything. There is a how and why behind his training and he helps explain it all so you can replicate it with your dog. Thank you to Pat for coming on our show and hanging out for a bit.

Today we sit down to hang out with our good friend, Marie, from Silver Lion Kennels. You may remember Marie, as she used to work at Lone Duck for a couple years and now she is crushing it with her own kennel over in Acworth, NH. Marie and her husband, Steve, recently got married and instead of going to sit at the beach or snorkel some island, they took the dogs for a midwest hunting trip.... I like to call it a huntymoon. We get to hear about how she took her GSP, Colt, to hunt alongside his father and grandfather and how cool it is to notice similarities between generations and bloodlines. Then they took their other dog, Sprocket, on their first real deal duck hunt and we got to hear about some memorable retrieves and moments from the trip. We end the show hearing more about her business and how she built her 15 run kennel on their property. It's interesting to chat with people about this sort of thing because it's always tough, exciting and fulfilling to create a business like this. We often have people DM us asking about starting their own kennels, what it's like, what you learn and wish you did differently, etc. so it's cool to chat with Marie and hear how she is making things happen. If you're looking for someone who is extremely knowledgeable, patient and will work super hard to train a dog for you... Marie is a solid choice. You can check out her instagram here. Cheers!

Welcome to Lone Duck's GDIY Chronicles! Today we have a different kind of show so hang with me... I was fortunate to have a conversation with Nick Adair and Jeremy Moore (from DogBone) on Nick's podcast, Gun Dog It Yourself and we meticulously dug into a whole lot on training hunting dogs. While this show was recorded for Nick's podcast, we thought it was extremely honest and educational, so we asked Nick if we could share and post it on our feed, too. We begin by defining "force fetch" and "collar conditioning" and the different ways to teach a dog. There's a lot in the conversation, so I won't detail each portion of the show but the goal was to debate the various ways to train a dog and further clarify each step in the process. We certainly go back and forth a little and we agree and disagree and that's ok. There's more than one way to train a dog and Jeremy has great dogs doing things his way. We have great dogs that are trained the lone duck way. Thank you to Jeremy and Nick for having an open conversation. Are you looking for more Lone Duck content, 1:1 conversations or can we help remotely train your dog? Check out our patreon here and maybeeee you'll win a spot on our hunting trip this fall. Cheers to you.

Tonight we have the pleasure of sitting down to speak with one of the most respected dog trainers in our country, Pat Nolan. We begin the show chatting with Pat and learning about how he got into the dog world and how a unique hobby caused a dog training epiphany for him. We could have spent hours talking with Pat about how this happened and how it evolved over the years to become a successful philosophy... so we'll have him back on the show. In talking with Pat, we discuss "training in drive" and how to shape a dog's behaviors by using their own internal motivation to complete the task at hand. Stay with me here, it's a lot to process and digest but it's brilliant. We then ask Pat how he knows when his dog is ready for the next step in the training process (this is super interesting) and we hear about his online training course, Retrieving from the pup up. Bob and the Lone Duck crew are working through this training course and it's worth the time and energy. One of the best parts of this conversation with Pat was hearing all of his little gems of knowledge formed by years of experience over many, many dogs. If you're like me, you'll find yourself feverishly scribbling notes and rewinding this to hear and digest his insights over and over. Of course, we had to ask Pat about his work with the military dogs and how that came to be and holy cow, what a story. We finish the conversation with Pat by discussing mistakes and disobedience when training dogs and how to handle each... think about that for a second because it's very intricate and important. Thank you to Pat for sitting down with us and sharing a few stories and training tips. We'd highly recommend you check out his website if you're interested to learn more. Want more Lone D? Join us for a beer and you could win a free duck hunting trip to Missouri in December '23... seriously!

A dog training debate on the use of shock collars and force fetch for training your gun dog with Bob Owen of Lone Duck on the GunDogIt Yourself Podcast platform!

After a great day of training together in a group, Bob Owen's of Lone Duck Kennels and the host of The Lone Duck Gun Dog Chronicles Podcast join Jimmy, Adam and Lorne for some great conversation. We talk multiple marks, head swinging, and what it takes to make it in the dog training community. Tons of great information in this episode, hope you enjoy. 

For tonight's podcast, we had the pleasure of chatting with Jake Smith, the man behind The Pointing Dog Journal, The Retriever Journal and Just Labs Magazine. We begin the show learning about Jake's background, his books and how he got into the outdoor world. We chat a little about some of our favorite stories and how they've shaped our experiences in the outdoors. Is anyone else a big fan of Gordon MacQuarrie... I know I am. Then Jake talks a little about how other people can get into the writing world and we dig into some of the great moments we've shared hunting alongside dogs. We learn about Jake's dogs and find that he is also a Setter Man-- he has great taste in dogs and guns. It was fantastic meeting Jake, learning about his time in the outdoors and sharing stories with each other. It's funny how easy it is to connect with someone over a few stories about old guns and bird hunts. If you're interested in learning more about Jake, then check out his two books here and here. Check out more Lone Duck action on youtube or find even more on Patreon! Cheers!

Tonight's episode is a bit different than our usual retriever training and hunting stories and I know you're going to enjoy the conversation as much as we did. It finally happened. After what seemed like forever, we finally got the chance to record an episode with our buddy, Rob Kugler. Rob is an extremely special guy with a unique story to tell about his life, his family, his service and his dog. If I had to describe Rob, I'd begin with his character and reference his passion, determination, resiliency and selflessness. He is a fantastic storyteller and the next two hours will have you on the edge of your seat, laughing and pretending not to cry. Rob truly embodies "the unspoken bond" and it's one of the many reasons we appreciate him. Cheers to you, Rob. If you're interested in hearing more of Rob's story or just want to support him because man, it's the right thing to do.... then check out his book here.

Alright, folks! Kevin Cheff The Retriever Coach is back for the second part of this mini series and if you thought part one was thorough, then you haven't seen anything yet. In this episode, Bob and Kevin Cheff discuss the fundamentals for creating a phenomenal dog and the drills used to get them there.... and stay there (that part is important). Here's a few topics they review: teaching multiple marks, wide open marks, developing confidence with memory, Kevin breaks down a training schedule for a Master level dog, we run through check down birds, the ABC Drill, live flyers and then we dig into water. Holy cow, do we dig into water. We review simple water marks (

Tonight we have one of our favorite guests back on the show, Kevin Cheff, the Retriever Coach. We catch up with Kevin and learn about his new online coaching platform he calls Fetch... you should check it out if you haven't yet. The main topic of tonight's conversation is super timely. We discuss important drills and tasks to do right now before your dog gets back into advanced training and the hunt test season rolls around. One of the themes I noticed in the conversation with Kevin was simplification and establishing high standards with your dog training. Kevin does an extremely thorough job of explaining how he does this with drills and how to correct the dog properly during the drills. We talk about a whole bunch of topics like: holding blind manners, wagon wheel, refining targeting, having discipline with your dog, reviewing swim by to keep your dog crispy and stalling at the right time, marking drills, retired guns and walking singles. Oh, just all those topics? Yes, and with meticulous detail. In fact, we dig into these drills so much that we decided to make this a two part series! I'll leave you with a great quote from Kevin during this episode, "good reps enforce good behavior." It seems simple, right... but ask yourself if you consistently do that with your dog or just doing lots of reps.

Welcome, welcome. Oohhhhh baby. Today's podcast is with Kevin and Bob where we chat about a whole bunch of things so settle in for a goodie. First we chat about the D-O Double G, Miss Prairie Dog and how her hunting season has been. As some of you know, we have been spending more time with her in the field as Memphis is getting a little older (more to come on that), and she is doing a fine job. We also hear about Bob's sabbatical to Costa Rica. Is that Kelly Slater? Nope, just Uncle Bob The Shredder out there riding waves, saving lives and eating fish like locals. (Insert hang ten emoji) Finally, we get into some of the plans and goals for Lone Duck Kennels in 2023... you won't wanna miss them. Please listen until the end if you need a motivational speech from Bob. Cheers to you. If you're reading this far down, then you should go read through the force fetch course to see how Bob coaches dogs... you'll be glad you did. With the course, you get Bob's personal help so you can feel more than confident in force fetching your dog. If you're not at the force fetch stage, that's ok. Join our Patreon for gun dog talks, happy hours with Bob and Kevin and tons of other people just like you. Honestly, it's a damn good time.

In this dog training podcast, Tom Davis speaks with Bob Owens, founder and owner of Lone Duck Outfitters. Bob specializes in waterfowl and gundog training. You can find Bob on Instagram @loneduck  NO BAD DOGS COFFEE!   Get my courses here

Today's episode is devoted to properly collar conditioning your dog. Using an e collar is controversial and some trainers use them, some trainers do not, some people think their dog is "too soft" for them and some dogs (most dogs when used properly) jump up and down in excitement when the collar comes out. Because of this confusion, we decided to create the most in depth episode to teach anyone and everyone to be confident and educated enough to collar condition their own dog. In this show, we call several professionals to hear their specific routine for collar conditioning protection dogs, pet dogs and hunting dogs. We hear from Blaine Tarnecki from Hudson River Retrievers and The Brown Dog Academy, Adam Campbell from Campbell's Hillside Kennels and the Doghouse Podcast, Oscar Mora from Elevated Canine and then Bob finishes the show by explaining his process. Listen to this show and if you have questions, please reach out to anyone who chimed in on this episode (links to contact them are above ^^) If you'd like to properly force fetch your dog or want more Lone Duck action, then check out our patreon here and you can meet us for some beers and talkin' dogs.

Today we have the pleasure of speaking with a real beagle man, Bob Ford. Aside from having a great name, he's also a fellow dog man who loves being out in the woods while carrying a gun and following his dogs.... I know I can relate. If you've read anything about beagles and chasing rabbits, you've probably read some of Bob's work. He has been in all sorts of magazines and has even written some awesome books. If you're interested in his work, then you should check out his website here. We have a great conversation and dig into Bob's years and years of experience running trials and raising fantastic rabbit dogs. It's always great speaking with highly passionate people and you can hear how driven Bob is regarding his faith, his writing, his dogs and runnin' rabbits! Do you want more Lone Duck?

The Lone Duck himself, Mr. Bob Owens, dropped in to catch up and just have a fun conversation about training dogs. He also let's us know about his new complete Force Fetch course! Force Fetch course overview Why is force fetch so overwhelming for some? The biggest hurdle for the average person? Is "hold" a command or is it implied in "fetch" Direct vs Indirect pressure Where does Perceived Pressure land? "Sensitive" dogs compared to "hard" dogs Is "pressure free" force fetch actually possible? Attrition and high repetitions Study all methods and stay hungry!

Tonight, we chatted with our good buddy, Dr. Joe Spoo (The Gun Dog Doc... check him out!), about all things sporting dogs. First, we talk about chasing upland birds and hear about Joe's lab (that he said he'd never own... and he explains why). Then we dig into a couple of Joe's late dogs. We chat a little about why chukar are great for training but overall, they're just the worst. Then we hear about Joe's newer dog, a Cocker Spaniel and how she's just the coolest little dog. Joe's spent some time at Spaniel trials and highly recommends anyone in the dog world check them out. We continue chatting with Joe and talk about sporting dogs and how they're athletes and how you can adjust your hunting to match (and support) each stage in the dog's life. Joe has years and years of experience as a Vet and has interesting thoughts on keeping your dog healthy and in the field longer. We talk about tick-borne diseases and common injuries and his thoughts on them. Joe also gives Bob some interesting thoughts on Memphis and her struggles from her tick-borne disease. One of the quotes from Joe that really struck me was when he said "age is not a disease" and he's right. We need to take care of our dogs so they not only live a long life but can live one with as much time in the field as possible.

*Uncle Bob ruins Christmas for children so don't listen to this in the car with your kids. Tonight, Bob and Kevin do a quick look back at the year of podcasts, interviews with cool people, good dogs, memories and hunting trips. After the holly jollies, we do some good Q&A that came in and here's a few examples: managing dog training and family, force fetch questions (learn how Bob force fetches dogs here), mouthy dogs on birds, plans for Bob's winter trip, best dogs ever and the top things to work on with a 4 month old pup. Not sure if people actually read these little descriptions but regardless, we wanted to say thank you to anyone listening. This podcast has been a great adventure for us both and we're grateful for those who listen and those who join us to chat dogs over a beer. Cheers to you. Buy Bob a beer via patreon and join us on our patreon only duck hunt next season.... Lone Duck's Gun Dog Chronicles is part of the Waypoint Outdoor Podcast Network

Tonight, Bob and Kevin review the long roadtrip Bob took from New York to Texas to Oklahoma and then back to New York. You'll hear about the goals of the trip and how Bob got to spend time wrangling cattle like a real man. A few highlights to mention here: hunting swamps with a coon dog in tow, almost burying the truck in the middle of no where, Prairie Dog gets the call to hunt some midwestern birds, hunting with Memphis, etc. Then we dig into some Q&A from people. Some of the topics include: why good duck dogs need discipline, expectations of a young dog, holding birds vs bumpers and proper force fetch. We also talk about the benefits of floating food and how to fix a hard-mouthed dog, what comes first: collar conditioning or force fetch and then we dig into the difference between American, British and English Labs.

Tonight is a show with Bob and Kevin chatting about the recent action of hunting season and the tale of Ol' Nubs. They also dig into Kevin's deer season and a duck trip out to a beaver pond in the eastern part of NY with some friends. This is when Bob shares a story about Memphis' time chasing geese. Oh, we also share some news about a project we've worked on for literally two years. Lone Duck's Gun Dog Chronicles is part of the Waypoint Outdoor Podcast crew.

Welp, tonight's show is a doozy (& maybe not one to enjoy while the kids are around). We have the pleasure of enjoying a couple drinks with Marie Madaras, a dog trainer working alongside Bob for the past 18 months or so, and Grayson Guyer of Lost Highway Gun Dog Kennels. Grayson has been on the show before and he is an awesome trainer and storyteller and this is Marie's first time AND it's her last week working at Lone Duck Kennels. Let's just say we had a little celebration and thought why not turn it into a podcast, too? Topics include: all sorts of BSing, Marie likes horsing around, grouse and woodcock hunting in NY, how to be a dog trainer, what makes good animal trainers, how Bob wants to take a six month hiatus and Marie's kennel, which you can (and should) check out here.

Tonight is special because we get to hang out with Pat Burns, we get to pick his brain about how he develops strong, confident dogs by building a bomb-proof training routine andddd hear about his new project he's been working on... Bob and Kevin talk with Pat about his Bomb-Proof Basics course he is launching soon and he is inviting people to a free webinar on 11/01 and 11/02 at 8pm EST. If you're interested in meeting Pat, asking him questions, etc. you can check out their website here and sign up to join the show. We also get to hear about the three dogs Pat took through his training and how each dog learned and progressed. It's very interesting to hear Pat speak about each dog and their owners because he's very meticulous and passionate. Some of our discussion topics include: working dogs through problems determining if your dog is being lazy or misunderstanding creating confident dogs collar conditioning and force fetch training sensitive dogs knowing when to move onto the next building block of training keeping dogs happy Needless to say, this guy knows his stuff. You can also sign up for his bomb-proof basics course, which is open for purchase from Tuesday, 11/01 through Friday, 11/11 @ 3pm. After that, you can't join for a while so don't miss out.

Tonight we sit down and chat with Craig Zimmer of Hero to the Line. We learn about Craig's background, how he got into the dog business and how he got started this non profit that introduces veterans to the sporting dog world. It's good to know there's people like Craig out there who are actively coaching and encouraging people to join this community. In the show, Craig mentions that the hunt test and waterfowl hunting community is full of hard working, patriotic people who are willing to help each other and work together... not a bad transition if someone is a veteran and looking for a new hobby. If you're a veteran listening to this show and you're interested in learning more, or you're someone who wants to help pitch in to support this cause, then please reach out and we'll help connect everyone.

Tonight, Bob and Kevin sit down and talk dogs with Courtney Wolf from Wolfhaus K9 and this is a show you won't want to miss. First, we learn about Courtney and how it feels to jump out of a plane but then we hear how he got into the dog world. Most people we speak with talk about building confidence in their dogs, searching for good genetics to create certain desires in a dog, creating a relationship, etc..... and we're talking about gundogs. Well, tonight we're talking about that but with police dogs and dogs that "want to eat you." It's always super interesting to chat with people from the bite dog world because the stakes are so much higher and there's a ton of parallels from their world to ours. We also talk with Courtney about being a decoy and what it's like to have dogs run you down and how to coach dogs through that process. We talk about making good dogs, what "good dogs" means to each of us, what makes good trainers and most importantly, we hear about his dog, Pig. Overall, this was a really cool show and we're grateful that Courtney wanted to come hang with us for a bit. If you're interested in what his world is like, check him out on instagram here.

I'd be shocked if you haven't heard Freddy King's name or seen any of his work on TV... it's everywhere and he is the man. Freddy has helped thousands of gun dogs by coaching their owners via hundreds of how-to videos and tonight, he helps the Lone Duck Community. Tonight, we sit down with Freddy King and we talk about everything imaginable. We learn how Freddy got into dogs and we have the "dogs of a lifetime" chat. You know, the one where some people swear you only get one good dog in your life and others have that dog a few times. Then we talk about The Retriever Trainer and how Freddy can help people (check it out here). We talk about how he adds realism to his training so even the dogs who don't retrieve thousands of ducks per year can still gain experiences. We end the show as Freddy shares his most memorable retrieve, a common question we like to ask people. Well, Freddy sure has an uncommon answer.

Well, tonight we tried something new. We have a lot of people ask about our patreon happy hours and what they are and why we do them, etc. so we thought we'd share one. This is a one time deal because they're exclusive to our community but they all said it'd be fun to hop on a podcast, so here we are. We get a lot of awesome dog training questions and hear how other people's dogs are doing as we all gear up for hunting season. Settle in, listen up and let us know what you think.

Tonight we have a very special podcast for a few reasons. First, Bob and Blaine host the show together, which is something we haven't done before but also, we had the extreme pleasure of chatting with one of the greatest dog trainers around, Pat Burns of Elite Retrievers. Pat has 3+ decades of training and competing at the highest levels possible. Think about that for a second...because it's wild. He is one of the most knowledgeable trainers currently in the game and boy, do we dig into some awesome training discussions. Bob, Blaine and Pat chat about a variety of training topics that you could apply to your dog (regardless of the level they're currently at). They begin discussing the importance of building trust and challenging dogs, especially with high level dogs. Pat emphasized that each dog should have a strong foundation and he encourages people treat it like an investment in the dog's lifetime, so don't rush the small steps. He also pointed out that most people fail because of the "simple" things at a test like sitting and other obedience things. Then we dig into some topics Pat is meticulous with like whistle sits. We often get questions about how we train for this and Pat explains his process, which begins way before you actually teach a dog to sit on a whistle. Finally, we end the show with some parting advice from Pat. Overall, this show was extremely educational and interesting. Be patient and invest in your dog, it'll be worth it. If you enjoyed listening to Pat, then check him out at Elite Retrievers and catch one of his seminars... you won't be disappointed. Cheers!

It's an extra special show because we have Blaine Tarnecki from Hudson River Retrievers at Lone Duck Kennels. Blaine, his wife and their swarm of little brown dogs are staying in NY for a couple weeks to get out of the hot, southern sun. After dining on some finely smoked fish from a recent trip that Blaine took out west, we sit down over a drink to chat about gun dog training, fishing for Stripers and we answer some really detailed training questions. Overall, we had a pretty awesome time and I think you'll enjoy. *Lone Duck's Gun Dog Chronicles is part of the Waypoint Outdoor Podcast Network.

Tonight was extremely special for the Lone Duck crew because we not only got to hang out with our patreon friends and talk dogs and hunting but then we jumped on a very special call to meet a new friend. Tonight, we (at least from our side) became best friends with the creator of Duck Camp Dinners on the MeatEater youtube channel and wildly talented chef and Bronco man, Jean-Paul. We had one of the best conversations with him and heard about his show and what he's excited to share in their second season (which airs 08/12/2022). What we enjoy about his show is how relatable and authentic it is to the deer camp, ice fishing and duck camps I've been to. It's impressive how they nail it but also so simple because that's really how it is when you hang at a duck camp with your buddies... they just turned their good times into a show we all love and appreciate. I hope you listen and enjoy our episode with Jean-Paul. He's extremely passionate, driven and thoughtful and hey, the guy can shoot ducks and cook 'em like a champ... isn't that just the ideal buddy to sit around and BS with? Well, that's what we did. We got to hear about his time growing up hunting, his first dog, his time learning to cook, what makes cajun food, how much bob enjoys boudin, his life in NYC and a ton more. If you want to learn more about Chef Jean-Paul then check out his IG here. Lone Duck's Gun Dog Chronicles is part of the Waypoint Outdoor Podcast Crew.

Tonight, Bob and Kevin sit down to chat about a whole bunch of topics but first we review the latest field trial bird by bird and dog by dog. We dig into what went well and what went wrong and how to train for these situations. We also get into Bob's new strategy for field trials. Then we dig into a few good questions from patreon people about the beginnings of Lone Duck and starting a kennel and what it actually took to get to today.
