Versatile champion, bird dog trainer, hunter: Curt Fry's views on all things dogs and birds
Manage episode 423050348 series 2952084
He and his dogs are NAVHDA versatile champions several times over ... and those dogs are English Setters. It's one testament to this guy's training acumen, passion for dogs and bird hunting. Curt Fry is also a hunt test judge, clinician, hardcore grouse and woodcock hunter. We do a deep dive into steadying a bird dog from start to finish: objectives, tools, and strategy. His views on water work and dog handling are of value to anyone with a hunting dog.
Curt also offers hunting strategies and tactics and finding more land to hunt. We review the various types of hunt tests and field trials and why bird hunters benefit from participating. Curt even has suggestions on where to find training birds.
"Road Trip" covers one of my top-five states; and listeners chime in on why sometimes it's a good idea to use different loads in each barrel.
