Nick Larson, Host of the Birdshot Podcast, gives us a bird hunting 101 today. We break down the types of birds you can target, where to find them, and their differences in behavior. He tells us what is the best shotgun to get started with, some useful tips to maintain your composure while shooting, and which gun to get next as you become a more experienced hunter. 

We discover how to hunt birds with or without dogs and how OnX maps change the game for upland bird hunting. Nick also shares the story of how he started his podcast which was not far from when we started our podcast too.

04:30 – Nick Larson’s got a podcast – Birdshot Podcast

05:20 – Nick used to hunt upland birds without a dog – he tells us how dogs change the game

08:45 – They’ve got sharp-tailed grouse, ruffed grouse, pheasants, wood cock, prairie chickens, and spruced grouse

10:30 – Nick tells us how to get started with hunting – google a bird species and the state you’re in, for ex: ruffed grouse Minnesota. Make sure you secure a hunting license from DNR and pay attention to the state rules and limits. Ruffed Grouse Management Area is a good resource to learn more about ruffed grouse hunting in Minnesota.

23:30 – Another bonus bird that they get a chance to hunt is the Hungarian Partridge – a non-native species

35:45 – Tip for sharp-tailed grouse: If your dog is on point, you’re walking in and a bird flushes, keep walking until you see the group of birds. Don’t shoot right away.

39:40 – Wingshooting is a term that is used as a broader term to include Waterfowl hunting or Dove hunting. Upland hunting generally refers to the upland game birds which are grouse, quail, pheasants, or Hungarian partridge, etc.

42:25 – Nick works for Upland Gun Company and they sell a very specific kind of gun. He doesn’t recommend their gun if you’re just getting started with hunting.

51:20 – Their guns are made to order and the price starts at $2000

55:24 – Tip: Relax and maintain composure when you see a bird. You got more time than you think.
