Episode 013: Good Friends, Good Dogs & Grouse Hunting with Adam Delude and Wiliam Bastian
b'
My two best hunting buddies, Adam Delude and William Bastian, are some of the most hardcore ruffed grouse hunters I know. William and Adam owned and trained 2 of the only 5 dogs to ever achieve the honor of earning the combination of titles of NAVHDA Versatile Champion, AKC Dual Champion, Amateur Field Champion and Master Hunter. In this episode they share insight on the type of dog it takes to achieve it all, the characteristics of a great grouse dog, advice for a successful grouse hunt, how dogs bring together lifelong friendships and some memorable hunting stories.
