EP:245 | A Longing for Gentleman Bob
This week we have Dr. Mark McConnell, Asst. Professor of Upland Birds at Mississippi State, to talk about the current status and future of a bird we all love so much. The flush of a wild bobwhite quail is an experience that many younger hunters may never have, and we discuss just how did we get to this scenario and what realistically can be done. It’s a deep subject, and you’ll hear it’s one that evokes frustrating emotions. Mark is a well-spoken knowledgeable expert that loves every aspect of the upland experience, and is the perfect guest to tell us what we need to know. You’ll even learn that French Poodles were originally bred to retrieve. Lastly, woodcock are discussed and they may be the target species for wild bird hunters of the South and beyond. Listen, Learn and Enjoy.
