Two hardcore hunters join me to share their seasons ... highs and lows, stellar dog work, insights and observations. Jim Millensifer has hunted 14 bird species (including snowcock!) and spends more time hunting than anybody I know. We'll talk Kansas, Arizona, North Dakota and who knows where the discussion will go - from mountain tops to desert plains. Jim offers tips on traveling, what helps the lightbulb go on in a younger dog (or more mature one for that matter), and recounts a "chicken chase" where the goal was one of every grouse species in the country.

Steve "Grouseman" Grossman then offers an outfitter's perspective on the past few months, plus passionate observations on dog development and how weather affects bird populations. Steve also suggests something intriguing about dogs scenting birdy cover, as well as his practical tips and tactics.

"Fix It" reminds everyone of a chore we often shelve during the off-season, and listeners as a whole sum up their season: epic, average or dismal ... find out where you fall in.
