Episode 05: Justin’s First Upland Hunt

Opening day of Dove Season 2025 was a milestone—my first upland hunt. After a quick story about a flat tire on the way to camp (with Erik coming to save the day), I dive into the hunt itself. Erik and I each dropped 10 birds, and his son bagged his very first—making it a day of wins and lasting memories.

We wrapped it all up with dove poppers, bacon-wrapped breast, and plenty of stories from the day's hunt. In this episode, I share the highs, lessons learned, and what it felt like to finally step into the upland tradition I’ve been chasing.
