The Upland Rookie Podcast
The Upland Rookie Podcast, brought to you by Upland Britts is a podcast not only for those new to upland hunting but for those veteran hunters too. No matter where you are on your upland journey, I hope that this podcast can inspire you in one way or another to get out into the uplands, put some miles on your boots, and follow your favorite bird dog. Through conversations with each guest we will take a deeper look into how each person got started and what keeps them coming back time and time again.
