From pheasant country in the Midwest to prairie chickens on the grasslands, this episode dives deep into the world of upland hunting with Tim Brown — better known as The Bearded Uplander. Brian and Tim swap stories about growing up in bird camps, the bond between hunters and their dogs, and the unique obsession that keeps upland hunters chasing feathers across state lines.
They cover everything from managing CRP and cattail habitat, to the difference between sharptails and prairie chickens, to how dogs adapt to each bird species. Tim shares how his passion grew from his first dog, Gus, to hunting over 100 days a year, and why he builds his life around watching dogs work. If you’re an upland hunter — or just want to understand why bird hunting can take over a life — this one will hit home.
