From our first trip west of the season, my oldest shorthair.

Tried to explain to my wife why I still need to hunt with a newborn at home. Birds were holding tight so I thought a video of THE view when you come over a rise would do better than my words. She didn't get it, but I figured folks on here would.

My name is Zachary Byers, I am an Iowa Ducks Unlimited member and I am going for my bachelor's in Outdoor Conservation. I think it's really interesting the sheer number of bird dog breeds out there. I like the look of the Boykin Spaniels. I'm not a hunter yet but I will be taking my hunters safety done online here soon. Better late than never at the age of 22.
