Something a little different in this new episode. While building content, I often have interviews and topics that don’t need a full 30-40 minute dedicated episode. I have decided to take these ‘shorts’ and pool them together plus offer you an update on what is in the works with the A Break in the Action podcast.

*A Hunter’s Prayer*
For the cunning of the fox
and the obsession of the hound;
The majesty of the whitetail deer
and the frost upon the ground.
For humbling shots at dove and teal
and their acrobatics on the wing;
The exhilaration of bringing trout to hand
and the satisfaction that it brings.
For the patience spent with stalking glass
o’er thistled hills for stag;
The hard-earned hare, the cock, the squirrel…
a simple man's mixed bag.
For the explosion of colors in the spring
and winter’s steely greys;
The rusts of autumn, harvest golds
and summer’s steamy haze.
For calming evenings spent by campfire
and the intoxicating walks that fill our days;
There are no greater gifts than these -
Almighty Father, we give You praise.*
*Ryan Doughty, 2010

Best Quail Gun: A panel discussion with Reid Bryant, Durrell Smith and Charlie Jordan
Q*uail hunting in the US is filled with tradition. A symphony of sights, sounds, and sensations that has a special way of connecting today’s hunters with those of the past. How does shotgun selection fit into the discussion on quail hunting? I have invited a few familiar names to join this panel discussion. Reid Bryant, Durrell Smith, and Charlie Jordan – each has a significant presence and voice in the upland community and regularly pursues quail. In this episode, we will discuss the type of shotgun, gauge, and configuration that they feel is best suited for hunting quail.

28 gauge: Magic or Myth?
*For the single shotgun or single gauge hunter - is the 28g. or the 20g. the superior choice? Shotgun and shotshell manufacturers and shotgun columnists have been boasting some pretty impressive claims about the 28g. Are they realistic or is this just a way to encourage you to look over the new 28g shotguns they are selling? I am joined today by Gregg Elliott and Phil Bourjaily. Each a shotgun expert in his own right. We are going to try to cut through what is fiction and get to the facts about the 28g as a legitimate, do-almost-everything choice.
