Project Upland Podcast show

Summary: On this week's episode of the Project Upland Podcast, Wess Larabee joins the show to talk about western wingshooting and planning upland hunting trips. Wess lives with his family in New Castle, Wyoming. His home is only his basecamp however as he regularly plans extended upland hunting trips throughout each fall that take him to wild places in pursuit of wild birds. During today's conversation, Wess and I talked about his upland hunting traditions including how he got started chasing roosters in South Dakota. We talked about his two bird dogs, a German wirehaired pointer and a German shorthaired pointer as well as his next bird dog which will be a Ryman type English setter. Wess also shares a lot about the extended upland hunting trips he plans to hunt chukar, quail, grouse and just about any kind of upland game bird he can put his dogs on. Wess enjoys planning trips and he has a lot to share on the topic. He talks about how he picks a location, finds huntable cover and he also shares some tips and hacks for the traveling upland bird hunter.
