The 2025-2026 Upland season is winding down. In this episode of Fin And Fire With Jeff Mishler, I revisit my favorite clips from past episodes focused on the processes of hunting upland birds: gun dog training, the gear we use, and the ethics inherent in our hunting experience. If you love hunting upland birds or are curious about the processes, sit back and enjoy. 

A new approach to working with England's upland communities has been announced by the Government, starting with Dartmoor and then Cumbria. Clubs have been formed so farmers and other enthusiasts can come together to enjoy repairing and maintaining old Land Rovers. This week we're focusing on cheese, from the very big brands you find in the supermarkets to the small artisan producers.Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.

Start the year with a training reset that actually fits real life. We lay out a practical vision for 2026: less bashing between camps, more education, and a class model built for consistency. Instead of forcing rigid rules that fall apart on hard weeks, we show how to meet owners where they are, build trust, and add tools later when it makes sense. The throughline is sustainability—habits you'll keep because they're simple, fair, and aligned with how you live.We break down why variety matters and how a gym-style schedule keeps both dogs and humans engaged. Reactivity classes focus on early interruption and neutrality, obedience sessions sharpen markers and play, detection taps into real nosework, and guided pack hikes bring nature back into the routine. You'll hear how small, repeatable skills—shuffle back, pay, reset—turn panic into a plan, and why those reps create calm confidence faster than any quick fix.We also take on the myth that a flat, silent dog is a well-trained dog. Training shouldn't crush personality. By channeling drive, rewarding curiosity, and teaching clean off-switch behavior, you can keep your dog's spark while gaining real control. That balance is where owners rediscover joy: an off-leash hike in the morning, a cafe settle at lunch, crisp heel work at class, and a happy dog who still lights up for play.Under it all is community. Weekly sessions turn effort into a habit, reduce isolation for reactive dog owners, and lift everyone's standards. We're building a space in Upland, east of LA, where people feel seen and dogs get the outlets they deserve. If you want training that lasts beyond a boot camp and a dog who stays fully alive, this one's for you. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review with your top training goal for 2026.Visit us on the website here to see what we've got going on and how you can join our pack of good dogs and owners.

In this final series about raising puppies, we discuss the importance of maintaining the right balance between control and focus, retrieving and upland work.  Upland dogs can run blinds without hunting, do hard marks, and still be confident and accomplished in the upland field.  It takes time and experience to learn the nuances of bird hunting, scent, feel, etc.  Allowed the opportunity to acquire the skill of bird location, the well-balanced dog can run the Triple Crown and Master National in the same time period - with complete success. But it's all about the balance....

In dieser Folge von „Bei uns am Diemelsee“ spricht Frank L. Mause, Leiter des Amtes für Bodenmanagement, über seine Leidenschaft: Grenzkrimis im Sauerland-Waldecker Land. Sein aktueller Roman „Alles (m)ordentlich“ spielt am Diemelsee und bringt spannende Ermittlungen zwischen Hessen und Nordrhein-Westfalen mit sich. Bürgermeister Volker Becker eröffnet die Folge mit Gedanken zur Weihnachtszeit.

Send us a textOn this episode we discuss one America's great modern singer-songwriters -Robbie Fulks, and his wonderful 2016 album Upland Stories. Produced by the late, great Steve Albini, Upland Stories combines folk and traditional country elements into a rich collection of narrative-driven songs. The album and the fantastic opening track “Alabama at Night” both earned a Grammy nominations, recognition for what is considered by many to be Fulks' finest batch of songs. The album is full of poignant character studies, told with emotional and literary lyrics that are deeply rooted in American storytelling (Let Us Now Praise Famous Men - James Agees' Great Depression account of impoverished tenant farmers is a major touchstone). Like much of Fulks' discography, the album is an eclectic yet highly satisfying mix of tunes, both serious and humorous. Upland Stories explores diverse themes sung by a remarkably rich voice, backed by some topnotch musicianship, and told by a songwriter at the absolute top of his game.  Visit us at www.tappingvinyl.com.

4th in the puppy series, the upland part.  This is often an unpredictable phase, where dogs do what they do, and not always what we expect or want.  With a good balance between the control of retriever work and the independence of the upland hunt, a youngster can learn to be an adept and confident partner in both.  It is a process, and it takes time; entirely defined by the way your pup's little head works.  It is one of the most fun aspects of dog training I have ever experienced.

Retired professor Simon Denny comes to the 2025 Carter Jonas Game Fair Theatre to talk to Charlie about the future for upland gamekeepers.

Fear doesn't mean stop; it usually means go. Meg sits down with trainer and coach Oscar Mora to trace the real path from a steady aerospace paycheck to a ranch built for teaching, trialing, and building a club where honest feedback and consistent reps change both dogs and handlers. We talk about the moment his wife said “it's time,” the practical signs he watched before quitting, and how discomfort became a compass for growth rather than a reason to freeze.From there we dive into the craft. Oscar breaks down why pet skills and sport skills speak the same language—clean markers, fair criteria, and rewards that match the dog in front of you. He lays out how to get into sport without weekly decoy access by focusing on obedience, neutrality, and structured play. We explore off-breeds in sport, what a Corso can teach a handler about patience and pressure, and how finishing something with the dog you have often builds more skill than endlessly chasing a “perfect” prospect.Puppy selection gets specific: confidence over defensiveness, love of chase, possession, and full grips. For dogs with too much gas, he explains how to install breaks early so the dog can think under conflict—like clearing a jump with a toy screaming from behind. We get candid about social media pressure, why trainers should serve clients instead of peers, and how a culture of private, constructive critique grows people faster than public takedowns. Most importantly, we show how play isn't just fun; it's a system for building engagement, solving reactivity, and turning stress into skills that hold up in real life.Stick around for details on Oscar's upcoming course, a free newsletter that translates training videos into step-by-step takeaways, and a two-day play workshop on February 21–22 in Upland designed for pet owners and aspiring sport handlers alike. If this conversation helps you, subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a quick review—then tell us the one skill you're training this week.To sign up for Oscar's upcoming workshops, check out his website here.Visit us on the website here to see what we've got going on and how you can join our pack of good dogs and owners.

Leash meltdowns aren't random—they're rehearsed. We pull back the curtain on what “reactivity” really means, why barriers like leashes and fences supercharge emotion, and how to swap chaos for structure without crushing your dog's spirit. We map the two major lanes of reactivity—overarousal versus fear—then connect them to what's happening inside the body, from dopamine-fueled excitement to cortisol-driven stress. That biology lesson turns into timing and tactics you can use today.We start at home, not on the sidewalk. You'll learn a simple marker-based game that opens and closes a training window, plus why tethering is a crucial skill for teaching calm under restraint. We share step-by-step ways to build reliable loose-leash walking in low-distraction spaces, then show how to move from management to real behavior change. When and how should you layer tools for clarity? Why are forced sits and tight leashes making things worse? How can a flexi line help you test choices safely in open areas? We answer it all, with examples from Bella's progress and Muffin's spicy genetics.Along the way, we talk emotion in training, why precision can wait, and how structure builds confidence in anxious dogs. If dog parks and on‑leash greetings have been fueling your problem, you'll leave with a practical plan: short engagement loops, crate and tether reps, movement over standoffs, and controlled exposures that don't reward barking. Plus, we share facility news, new classes in Upland and San Diego, a community holiday party and giving tree, and details on an upcoming seminar with our mentor Oscar focused on markers, communication, and play.If this helped reframe your dog's outbursts, tap follow, share with a friend who's struggling, and leave a quick review telling us what you'll try first. Your questions for Oscar are next—send them our way.Visit us on the website here to see what we've got going on and how you can join our pack of good dogs and owners.

Officials revealed a remarkable twist: the car that stopped the fleeing motorcycle suspect was driven by an off-duty deputy who put himself on duty and performed a legal intervention, ending the dangerous pursuit. The focus briefly turned to Dodgers vs. Toronto, Game #3 at Dodger Stadium. The tragic news deepened — Deputy Andrew Nunez was confirmed killed in the line of duty. Meanwhile, LAX faced a ground stop amid Day 27 of the government shutdown, and SNAP funds were nearing depletion. More details emerged: the off-duty deputy's intervention caused a major traffic jam on the 210 East in Upland, as the region mourned the fallen San Bernardino hero.

Learn how to prep upland game birds for taxidermy including pheasants. Plus tired of the question "What's for Dinner?" Meal kits: are they worth it? Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! Season 5, Episode 259 Why Proper Prep Matters: Upland Game Bird Taxidermy Basics The Do, The Do Not & Did You Know About Pheasants Upland birds taken early in the season do not make great mounts due to the fragile pin feathers. Best to mount pheasants harvested in November and December. Do not ring the neck of a possible pheasant to mount as it will stretch the neck. Cool the pheasant immediately. Wrap the feet and beak in wet paper towels. Double bag the pheasant before placing it in the freezer. This will keep the bird from drying out until received by a taxidermist. Do NOT place birds in panty hose. A panty hose causes a bird to quickly dry out during freezing making it difficult, to almost impossible, to mount by a taxidermist at a later date. How Meal Kits Compare to DIY Cooking (Pros & Cons) Meal Kit Companies: Examples - Hello Fresh, Blue Apron, Home Chef too many to mention. I have personal experience with Hello Fresh, one of the oldest of the Meal Kit Companies out there. Are Meal Kit Companies actually “Good”, like taste good? YES - There are typically close to a 100 different recipes to choose from, and the meals typically take only 30 minutes. What's included? Your proteins of choice plus delicious sides. Never liked Sweet Potatoes… Follow their easy recipes, and you might change your mind. I did! Are the ingredients Fresh? YES! They are packed in a box with ice and in packaging that keeps everything fresh, if there was ever a leak - No questions, money was returned with the option to send another meal. Cost? Is it really affordable? Depends on your spending habits. If you are someone that is tempted by “Impulse Buys” like… Ohhhh I need that, even though it's not on “The Grocery List”... Then you are like me, and every trip that keeps me out of the store typically saves me money! Costs typically range from $3 to $12 per serving, based on the service, meal plan What is my favorite part about meal kits?  1st - Learning new culinary skills! We are currently not subscribed to a Meal Kit company, however I greatly improved my skills in the kitchen thanks to them! For example, I typically strongly dislike Meatloaf… Sorry, I know it's a comfort food for many. However - Thanks to here and there subscribing to a Meal Kit service… I now make an amazing Balsamic Rosemary Meatloaf… And if you've not had my Garlic Mashed potatoes.. You are missing out! YUM! 2nd - Taking a break from the nightly battle of “What's for Supper.” They service actually helped me plan better when not using it as I realized that if I just take out some meat from the freezer on Sunday nights, than I have set us up for a successful week of “getting it all cooked” throughout the week as no one wants to throw away the most expensive part of any meal… The meat!

Summary: This episode delves into the world of invasive birds, exploring their ecological impact and culinary potential. Justin and Adam discuss various species, including rock doves, Eurasian collared doves, songbirds, and waterfowl like snow geese and mute swans. They share insights on cooking techniques, flavor profiles, and sustainable practices for harvesting these birds. The conversation emphasizes the importance of viewing invasive species as a resource and encourages listeners to experiment with historical recipes and modern cooking methods. - ⁠⁠⁠Leave a Review of the Podcast⁠⁠⁠ - ⁠⁠⁠Buy our Wild Fish and Game Spices⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠The Art of Venison Sausage Making⁠⁠⁠ Recipes: Breaking Up with Dove Poppers: Why It's Time to Move On Buttermilk Fried Dove & Waffles with Spicy Bourbon Maple Syrup Retro Recipe: Sous Vide Peking Dove with Pickled Veggies Sweet and Spicy Jalapeño Quail or Doves Roasted Doves and Maitake with Poblano Cream Sauce on Grits Tandoori Dove with Cilantro-Yogurt Sauce Takeaways: Invasive species can be a resource if harvested responsibly. Rock doves and Eurasian collared doves are common invasive birds in North America. Both doves are edible and can be prepared in various ways. Cooking techniques vary based on the age and type of bird. Songbirds like house sparrows and starlings are often overlooked as food sources. Mute swans are invasive and can be managed through hunting. Snow geese are abundant and provide high-quality meat. Cooking methods for waterfowl include roasting, braising, and grinding for sausage.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Pete Lang from Upland, CA. Thank you for your partnership with us through Project23. Your commitment is helping deliver God's Word with clarity and conviction. This one's for you. Our text today is Judges 5:9–12. “My heart goes out to the commanders of Israel who offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless the LORD. Tell of it, you who ride on white donkeys, you who sit on rich carpets, and you who walk by the way. To the sound of musicians at the watering places, there they repeat the righteous triumphs of the LORD, the righteous triumphs of his villagers in Israel. Then down to the gates marched the people of the LORD. ‘Awake, awake, Deborah! Awake, awake, break out in a song! Arise, Barak, lead away your captives, O son of Abinoam.'” — Judges 5:9-12 The song of Deborah shifts here from memory to momentum. She looks across Israel and sees leaders who stepped forward and people who volunteered without hesitation. And she blesses the Lord for it. But she doesn't stop there. She calls everyone — the wealthy (“you who ride on white donkeys”), the influential (“you who sit on rich carpets”), and the everyday traveler — to tell the story of God's triumph. Then her voice sharpens. Twice she says, “Awake, awake!” And then, “Arise!” It's the language of urgency. The sound of a spiritual trumpet blast. “Awake” means shake off the slumber, remember who you are, and recall why you're here. “Arise” means stand up, step forward, and move in the direction of God's call. Every believer faces two temptations after God moves powerfully — to relax into comfort or to retreat into passivity. But God's victories aren't the end of the mission. They're the launching pad for the next one. “Awake” is the inner shift — the moment your heart snaps out of distraction and into readiness. “Arise” is the outer step — the choice to act on what God has stirred in you. If you're sleeping through your calling, you're missing the reason you were rescued. Deborah didn't tell Barak to enjoy the win. She told him to get moving. God's Kingdom advances when His people stay awake and keep rising. Maybe your battle is spiritual laziness. Maybe it's fear. Maybe it's comfort. Whatever it is, you can't follow Jesus while hitting the snooze button on His call. ASK THIS: Where in your life is God calling you to “awake” from spiritual complacency? What's one concrete step you can take today to “arise” into obedience? Who around you needs the courage that will come from your obedience? How can you avoid the trap of settling into comfort after a spiritual victory? DO THIS: Say the words “Awake and arise” out loud this morning — then take one action that matches them before the day ends. PRAY THIS: Lord, don't let me drift into spiritual sleep. Wake me up to Your call, and give me the courage to rise and follow You into whatever comes next. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Awake My Soul."

Brian Maze has spent over a decade guiding clients through memorable outdoor adventures, beginning with turkey hunting, and later diving into fly fishing. But his true passion emerged with the arrival of Miss Rebel, a German Shorthaired Pointer whose first point ignited his love for bird dogs and upland hunting. With the addition of a second dog, Miss Luna, his obsession with Ruffed Grouse hunting took root, shaping the vision behind Amaazen Outdoors. At its core, Amaazen Outdoors is about the simple joy of running bird dogs and sharing the woods with others who cherish the same experience. Brian is also a dedicated advocate for public land conservation, working with organizations like the Ruffed Grouse Society, American Woodcock Society, and Pheasants Forever to protect the wild places that fuel his passion. For Brian, it's all about the dogs, the birds, and the land—and creating space for others to experience that same deep connection.   Topics covered include: Leaving the corporate world to have a more dog-centric life The hidden language we can have with our dogs Brian's transformation from a "partridge hunter" to a "grouse hunter" Wisconsin ruffed grouse drumming survey results The fulfillment Brian has in making memorable moments for people   ⁠https://amaazen.com/⁠ ⁠https://www.instagram.com/amaazen_outdoors/#       Check out the First Gen Hunter Website Follow First Gen Hunter Instagram: @first.gen.hunter Facebook: @first.gen.hunter Follow Alex: @east2westhunts_alex  Follow East2West Hunts: @east2westhunts Follow Caleb: @calebleedrake  Follow Noel: @noelgandy Follow Ryan: @theuplandsocial   Support First Gen Hunter by shopping at the following partners:   East2West Hunts Use promo code: firstgen10 = 10% off any purchase Old Barn Taxidermy Tell Them The First Gen Hunter Podcast Sent You!
