Hunter, conservationist, CEO: Ben Jones updates us on the RGS/AWS re-organization

Upland Nation

A lot of water under the bridge since we last talked: pandemic lockdown, a major restructuring of his organizations, and a new puppy. Ben Jones is CEO of the Ruffed Grouse Society and American Woodcock Society, and we've got a lot of ground to cover. We'll get an update on the new strategic direction and how it's affected the groups' operations and funding, jump into the groups' works on the ground and politically, and talk habitat, conservation and ... puppies.

Ben has some tips for ruffed grouse and woodcock hunters, puppy training advice, and shares the most important items in his hunting vest, and listeners offer advice on hunting a brace of dogs in our "Handle It" segment.
