So, this one was a podcast i was worried about. The pay to play arguement is a real issue for me. Im not in favor of it, so I was uneasy with the idea of doing a podcast with a company called landtrust when they emailed me.  Im still not in favor of it and wont pay to hunt myself, but I did enjoy the debate with Nic. 

My first trip to Pine Ridge Grouse Camp in Minnesota didnt disappoint! We moved lots and lots of Grouse and Woodcock. Ate some amazing food and shared stories and laughs.
