E 194. Hardworkin' working dogs at Orvis

Today we have the pleasure of speaking with our buddy John Carpenter from Orvis Sandanona. For the past decade, John has been running driven hunts and tower shoots and he is the man behind the dogs for all of it. John is a passionate dog guy and his dogs are hard working, blue collar workers that retrieve like a hundred birds per hunt. They're absolutely fantastic to watch and always seem to know how to dig out a crippled bird, no matter where it'd hidden itself. We talk with John about his time working at Orvis, what it's like to be in charge of the hunts, what it's like training his dogs, hunting with good dogs vs great dogs and a whole lot more. John is a wealth of knowledge and it's great catching up with him. We'll have him back on the show again for sure. Plus, if you're looking for some help with your dogs or want to learn more from John, check out his site here. Gear up for the training season and get anything you need at our store....
