Tonight we have the pleasure of speaking with Ronnie Cowan, the Outdoor Recreation Specialist from the the University of Tennessee's Extension Institute of Agriculture. Working for UT, Ronnie teaches students about hunting, fishing, hunting dogs, mock AKC hunt tests, field dressing animals and wild game cooking.... how cool is that? Imagine if we had a program like this at more colleges?
Here's a few highlights from the show:
Lone Star Ticks... what are they, what to look for, what happens, etc.
Using dogs as a way to get younger people interested in the outdoors
Hunting is a hobby and a culture
We learn all about the UT program that Ronnie is building and how his dog, Whiskey, gets to help out.
Building advocates for our sport and the R3 program
Gun Dog College with Ronnie. If you had this when you were in school, would you have enjoyed classes more? I would have showed up more often, that's for sure.
