71: Bluegrass Bird Doggin' with Tyler Duvall
Today we are joined by my friend across the border in Kentucky, Tyler Duvall. Tyler is an avid bird dog handler and bobwhite quail hunter. After losing a dog too soon in life several years ago, Tyler made the decision to do things differently with the following dog, doubling down on training and hunting with it. And although he loves hunting quail around home, he, like many of us, likes to explore outside the realms of what is familiar. In 2025, he found himself successfully hunting public land pheasants in South Dakota. He now has more trips and consequent species planned for this upcoming season.
