Bird Dogs and Big Game
Hosted by professional bird dog trainer and lifelong big game hunter Tyce Erickson, Bird Dogs & Big Game is all about gun dogs, bird hunting, western big game, and becoming a better hunter and handler in the field.
We cover everything from bird dog training, upland and waterfowl hunting, and gear to elk, deer, and backcountry hunts, along with conversations with trainers, breeders, guides, biologists, and others who live and breathe the outdoors. You'll hear stories from the field, practical training advice, and plenty of discussion about both retrieving and pointing breeds.
Whether you're training your first bird dog, working toward the next level with an experienced dog, or getting ready for your next elk season, our goal is to help you become a more confident handler and a more successful hunter.
You can also catch the show weekly on the Outdoor Radio Network.
Formerly The Bird Dog Podcast. Thanks for listening, and good hunting.
