In the episode I sit down and try to give a brief overview and explain the Greyhound Protection Act and what it is. I also, go over how they are trying to make using, "live lures" for dog training illegal. This can be a problem for people that train dogs. This could affect anyone that wants to have a bird dog and train that dog with live birds. Below, is the link to let your legislators in your state that you can use to let them know that we want the wording "live lures" removed from the bill. We must maintain our hunting heritage and freedoms. Please take a minute today to send them your opinion and let others know. Thanks and have a great day! Link below!https://www.akc.org/legislative-alerts/u-s-congress-amendment-to-farm-bill-could-threaten-akc-events-hunt-training/?utm_source=chatgpt.comAn amendment to the House Farm Bill (HR 7567) proposed by animal rights groups threatens the future of AKC performance events and recognized hunt training techniques.Please join AKC and leading sportsmen’s organizations in defending responsible dog enthusiasts, sportsmen and trainers. Please contact your member of the U.S. Congress and respectfully ask Congress to remove language derived from the “Greyhound Protection Act of 2025” (HR 5017) from the Farm Bill before final passage. Scroll down for easy ways to make a difference.Why This Matters While the stated intent of the Greyhound Protection Act is to address concerns related to commercial greyhound racing, the provision attached to the Farm Bill is overly broad and risks eliminating or banning standard training and event practices for certain field trials, performance events, lawful hunting with dogs, and other widely accepted training methods used by responsible dog owners and handlers.AKC is a participant in affiliate advertising programs designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to akc.org. If you purchase a product through this article, we may receive a portion of the sale.In fact, the amendment goes well beyond “commercial” greyhound racing – which currently only exists in one state; it also bans live lure training, use of live lures, and open field coursing events involving live animals.Because these terms lack clear statutory definitions, they could be interpreted in ways that affect lawful hunting activities and traditional dog training methods. For example, controlled exposure to live birds, or other game animals, is a widely accepted and essential component of preserving unique breed characteristics and training bird dogs, retrievers, hounds, and other working dogs. Dog trainers and hunters commonly use farm‑raised birds such as pigeons, ducks, or pheasants to teach scent recognition, steadiness, retrieval skills, and humane handling of game. These practices help ensure that hunting dogs perform their work effectively and minimize harm to wildlife during hunts.Without clear exemptions, prohibiting the use of live animals in canine events that showcase breed characteristics, responsible hunting, or dog training could effectively eliminate long-standing, responsible training methods.These restrictions could easily be interpreted or amended to severely impact or eliminate:    •    Field trials,    •    Hunt tests,    •    Earthdog competition,    •    Barn Hunt,    •    Nite Hunts, and    •    Other organized dog sports/events that are conducted under carefully controlled conditions._______________________________________________________________________________________________Introduce your dogs to guns and start them out right or help

In this episode we headed out to SD to pickup a puppy and attend Pheasant Fest.  It was great to see conservation in action, but I was also disappointed for my first time going to SD to see the lack of wild pheasants. For some reason in my mind I imagined driving down country roads and just seeing a good number of pheasants along the road. The whole time driving through SD I saw one pheasant and it was dead on the highway. Lots of ducks and geese on the ponds, but pheasants it was a big let down.   Listen to the podcast to hear what we learned and what Pheasant Fest was all about. Thanks for listening everyone!
