Missouri Upland Birds in 1985

The adventure begins with quail hunting, following bird dogs through prime cover and fast-paced flushes that define one of America’s most traditional hunts. From there, Buck continues the upland action with pheasant hunting, showcasing the excitement, teamwork, and marksmanship that make pheasant season a favorite across the country. The episode wraps up at the range with trap shooting, highlighting shooting fundamentals and the skills that carry over from the field to the clay range — a perfect way to sharpen instincts and enjoy time behind the shotgun. From bird dogs and upland cover to clay targets and open skies, this episode captures the heart of classic wingshooting and the outdoor traditions that helped build The Outdoorsman from the ground up. I’m sharing these early episodes to honor my dad’s legacy and to preserve the history of The Outdoorsman for longtime viewers and a new generation of outdoor enthusiasts.
