Ep. 354 Upland Social: Flames and Feathers with Drew Conner

Drew Conner is from a small town in South Carolina named Edgemoore. God comes first in his life with his family close behind. Hunting and work constantly battle for that third position with fishing inching its way there, especially in the spring and fall. He has a wonderful wife who deals with his constant hunting and fishing trips. He has a two year old daughter and a 13 year old son that he drags along with him every chance he gets. He has an English setter and a black lab and they hunt all over the Southeast on a regular basis. While he spends most of his time chasing bobs and woodcock, Appalachian ruffed grouse are by far his favorite.

Topics covered include:

Hunting with flushers and pointers

Bobwhite quail management

Healthy fires on the landscape

The unhealthy stigma of fire

Appalachian grouse advocacy
