Episode 9: Amaazen Outdoors with Brian Maze

Brian Maze has spent over a decade guiding clients through memorable outdoor adventures, beginning with turkey hunting, and later diving into fly fishing. But his true passion emerged with the arrival of Miss Rebel, a German Shorthaired Pointer whose first point ignited his love for bird dogs and upland hunting.

With the addition of a second dog, Miss Luna, his obsession with Ruffed Grouse hunting took root, shaping the vision behind Amaazen Outdoors. At its core, Amaazen Outdoors is about the simple joy of running bird dogs and sharing the woods with others who cherish the same experience.

Brian is also a dedicated advocate for public land conservation, working with organizations like the Ruffed Grouse Society, American Woodcock Society, and Pheasants Forever to protect the wild places that fuel his passion.

For Brian, it’s all about the dogs, the birds, and the land—and creating space for others to experience that same deep connection.

Topics covered include:

• ​Leaving the corporate world to have a more dog-centric life
• ​The hidden language we can have with our dogs
• ​Brian's transformation from a "partridge hunter" to a "grouse hunter"
• ​Wisconsin ruffed grouse drumming survey results
