Experienced Ruffed Grouse and Woodcock guide for Pineridge Grouse Camp, Stephen Faust of Stoneybrook Gordon Setters, joins me for a tailgate lunch between hunts to talk about some of his takeaways after so many years in the woods guiding beginner and experienced hunters alike. Why Gordon Setters? Keeping genetics fresh with imported dogs How did Stephen fall into guiding? Old stands with the right understory and food sources Switching from Grouse to Woodcock in the southeast Using Woodcock to develop a Grouse dog? Different bird scents Being stewards of the Woodcock population while still hunting them Should you shoot Woodcock if you don't plan on eating them? Guiding 101 and considerations for new timers More impactful: a person's first grouse or the dog's first grouse?
