What started as a simple, personal goal in 2014 evolved into a print magazine and a vibrant community that encompasses a diverse group of hunters and dog lovers.

      First launched in 2018, this research project was created to better represent the nuances and details of upland culture in response to a lack of understanding from the larger hunting community, which tends to lump all bird hunting into a single category.
