This week, we tell the story of my lovingly named, "Disaster Dog", Thelma.  Learns a few lessons from my story if you are looking to acquire someone else's bird dog, or just shake your head as you hear the many mistakes I made along the way.   This podcast is brought to you by OnX, and Boss Shotshells.

We all start somewhere.  For many of us, that place was not as a hunter.  This is the story of what took me, a non-hunter, to being a full fledged huntress, bird dog lover, and conservationist.  From trying to find game for my falcons, to starting to train bird dogs, it evolved rather quickly, as these things tend to do.  Thank you to our sponsors!  OnX Hunt, and Boss Shotshells A HerUpland Network Podcast.
