So-so spots: bird hunting's second best places may be your new favorites
About this episode
Scott Linden discusses the benefits of exploring lesser-known hunting locations and shares personal stories and strategies.
"Nobody goes there anymore - it's too crowded." Yogi Berra said it, and sometimes, we live it when searching for great hunting ground. But what if you adjusted your expectations, settled for second-best to access uncrowded territory that might, just might, have some decent hunting? That's today's soapbox session, as I encourage you to seek out the runners-up states, regions, and places that don't end up on magazine covers. I'll share some of my own stories, offer some strategy and tactics you might employ, and provide incentives that might get you far from the madding crowd. Our social session covers favorite post-hunt libations, and "Fix It" suggests some help wearing your strap vest that allows you to carry more water and shoot better. And it's all brought to you by: Mid Valley Clays and Shooting School, CableGangz, TrulockChokes, Pointer shotguns, ClayCopter, USA Clay Target League, Purina Pro Plan Sport and FindBirdHuntingSpots.com.
