The Western Wingshooter Podcast

It has been a very long road to get to this place with Rusty. He and I have spent countless days and more miles than I care to think about chasing birds from the artic circle to the mexican border and everywhere in between. But finally we have done it. Rusty and Me together have both managed somehow to hunt and harvest every upland bird species in north america TOGETHER.  Katie Willis and Kirk Adams helped make this possible.  In this episode we discuss how amazing valley quail are as a game bird. Covey dynamics, mountain lions, chukar and much much more.  

Man! 2025 has certainly been the year of the Pheasant in North Dakota! Wess, George and Myself recap our favorite moments of the season. We also chat about an EPIC hunt to finish off the season in style!

Im 4 days away from the start of my big winter trip so I asked George to join me on the podcast to talk about all the gear and planning that goes into a trip like this.  We also talk about the last few days of our pheasant hunting....spoiler alert! Its been AWESOME!!!

George, Wess and Myself sat down for a fun debate. We tackle some of the topics that we get asked the most. Our favorite birds, best dogs for pheasant hunting, and much more! 

This is the episode that I recorded with Tim all the way back in early October! Seems like years ago at this point. We talk about sharptail hunting with a couple of old school pheasant hunters and share some laughs about them and us.
