## Resource

Today's guest is Trey Murphy, a lifelong Pennsylvania hunter whose upland journey started with one unexpected trade. Back in his mid-20s, his best friend Garrett sold a dirt bike, found a good deal on a Brittany, and unknowingly changed the direction of Trey's hunting life. Not long after, Trey got his first Brittany, Finley, and began traveling the country chasing birds and building a bird dog family that now includes five dogs alongside his girlfriend, Bethany. From the grouse woods of northcentral Pennsylvania to pheasant country in the Dakotas and quail country in Kansas, Trey has become a passionate upland hunter, conservation volunteer, and guide. Today we're talking bird dogs, grouse, road trips, conservation, and the friendships that make the upland community so special. Topics Covered: ​Fluctuations of grouse populations in PA ​A dirt bike creating an upland opportunity ​Trey finding romance in the grouse woods ​Why Brittanys are awesome ​The value of DIY public land hunting Proud Sponsors: Gundog Central Ballad of the Bird Dog
