This hunt was more than birds in the bag — it was THE COMEBACK.
After two years away from the field due to neck and back surgery, I’m finally back on a quail hunt with bird dogs in Georgia.
In this special collaboration with Catch & Cook, I took Tyler & Jace Walker on their FIRST EVER upland bird hunt at South Fork Preserve in Royston, Georgia. What started as a first-time quail hunt quickly turned into a powerful comeback story.
This hunt marked:
My first bird hunt back after 2023 & 2024 neck and back surgery
KOA the Black Lab’s first-ever bird hunt
KAPTAIN the GSP’s return to the field after 2 years
Quail, pheasant, and chukar hunting in Georgia
A true upland bird hunting experience with dogs back in action
This video is about more than hunting — it’s about recovery, perseverance, faith, and getting back to what you love after setbacks.
