Ep. 37: Walking Cover, Finding Birds: No Shortcuts in the Uplands with Reggie Tokarski

In this episode of Bird Camp Radio, we sit down with Reggie Tokarski, an upland game guide with Sun Catcher Acres Pheasant Outfitter. Reggie spends her days doing what many hunters only see a small part of: walking miles of cover, handling dogs, reading bird behavior, and putting clients on pheasants day after day throughout the season.We dive into what life as a pheasant guide actually looks like behind the scenes, from the early mornings and long walks to the lessons learned from countless days in the field. Reggie shares her perspective on dog work, reading habitat, finding birds in changing conditions, and why success in upland hunting often comes down to experience, observation, and effort.We also discuss earning respect in the hunting industry, the realities of being a female guide in the uplands, and why the birds, dogs, and traditions of pheasant hunting continue to keep people coming back year after year.Whether you're a seasoned upland hunter, an aspiring guide, or someone who simply appreciates hard-working bird dogs and wild flushes, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.Pull up a tailgate, grab a cup of coffee, and join us Around the Campfire for Episode 37 of Bird Camp Radio.Suncatcher AcresMouse River OutfittersTraveling with bird dogs?
