Early season Sharptail Grouse in North Dakota,
Part 2
Click

Continue to enjoy the early fall in North Dakota.
The grouse were plentiful and we bagged a lot of birds.
The scenery is haunting for those who enjoy the wide open
prairies. We often drove on paved roads for ten miles without
encountering another vehicle. Giant hay bales, plentiful
potholes, and plentiful grouse—everything needed to
make for a memorable hunt.

Click

This is the very first television show I ever produced.
We went to south central North Dakota in pursuit of early
season Sharptail grouse. We were not disappointed. Despite
a terrific wind, we wore through considerable shoe leather
and encountered a lot of game. Two black Labradors who had
never hunted together teamed up to make this a very satisfying
experience.
Stay tuned, we will be introducing our premium podcast very
soon—more features, more content, more news.

An Interview with Dez Young of Hunting with Hank.
Click

Where did you first hear the phrase, “Never
spoil your bird dog?”
It was on OLN and the author of the phrase was Dez Young
as he—tongue in cheek—admonished people to keep
their bird dogs tough by not bestowing on them the niceties
of life and close human companionship.
Dez has seven seasons of upland hunting on OLN. Currently
he hunts with Hank’s son, Dash. Come and listen to
Dez as he describes how he got into the TV business and
his thoughts on bird hunting and dogs.

Last week we started this terrific hunt. Now we
conclude it.
Imagine getting your limit in woodcock and seeing the majority
of the shots on tape. Credit to Bill’s dog, JD, Francis
Smith, and the fall flight of woodcock. The night of the
hunt, we enjoyed our woodcock cooked to perfection by the
staff at the Heerminsmith Inn and they allowed our dogs
to enjoy the dining experience with us. I highly recommend
this hunt to any body wanting to experience the fall hunting
in New England.

the sport we all love so much.

An interview with Dale Wallis, DVM
Click
here to play
In many areas of the country we have to share the
upland bird habitat with some unwelcome reptilian friends.
Rattlesnakes pose a risk to both dog and human. Until now
the options consisted of not hunting when snakes were out,
“de-snaking” your pup, or taking the risk of
a bite and relying on anti-venom (and a couple thousand
bucks) to save your pup’s life if Rover got a nasty
bite.
Now a new option is available and it is pretty darned exciting:
Rattlesnake Venom Vaccine for your dog. Dale Wallis, DVM
is a principal researcher in the development of this product.
Her company Red Rocks Biologics (http://www.redrockbiologics.com/)
has received approval from the U. S. Department of Agriculture
for the use of this vaccine in dogs. In this podcast we
interview Dr. Wallis about the vaccine’s development
and its application to our hunting dogs.

The continuation of one big bird-getting adventure:
This was a whale of a lot of fun.
It is the first time I have ever got my limit of Huns.
