Episode 57: Decades of Wingshooting Media with Scott Linden

And it's just something that we can't seem to escape and get away from, which I love.

I think it's great.

And on that note, you know, you've interviewed and you've hunted with countless people and dogs and gone to these amazing, crazy, cool places and hunted all these different types of birds.

What's maybe a moment or a story or something that like really resonates with you or just really left a big impression upon you?

You know, if I really worked at it, I could probably find a spot where I was up on a chucker hill and pondering the world and that sort of thing.

But what it really amounts to for me is the dogs and the people I'm with.

I love the places we go.

Yeah.

And they're all different.

They're all beautiful.

And even some of the places that most people would call desolate and forbidding, those to me are magical places.

The people I'm with, and I curate my hunting partners fairly carefully.

they're, they're, they're close to me in one way or another.

And I, I like that a lot, but it's all about the dogs.

It really is.

And that's why I called the first book, What the Dogs Saw Me.

By the way, it's, it's still in print.

They changed the publishers, changed the title of it, but it's still in print.

So I'm grateful for that too.

you know, it's the first time you see a dog point.

And the one example I can think of is one of my old music school buddies and I, we became really good friends after we graduated.

We started fishing together and then we started hunting together.

And he finally came over to the dark side and got himself a Britney puppy a couple of years ago.

And that dog, named after another great jazz saxophonist, Lester Young, we call him Prez, he was Dave's first pointing dog.
