Bird Camp

Joe Schwenke

Upland Bird Hunting in Michigan focusing on Ruffed Grouse and woodcock. The goal of this podcast is to have a conversation that is genuine and relevant while having the feeling of sitting around the campfire or dinner table. The conversations drift and detour as every conversation should. Habitat, methods, bird dogs, the past and future of hunting are some of the many topics found in camp conversations. You're invited to pull up a chair and join the BirdCamp conversation.
