Brad Goes Pheasant Hunting | It's Alive | Bon Appétit

alright guys today I get to live around here and mop in Oregon and got our buddy lives from Olympic divisions and today we're going to be doing a little pheasant and chucker hunting so uh eyes on the field Vinny let's get a move on skate out of this ticket but Oh mud patch all right no birds in there but chuck them look seated [Music] [Applause] [Music] yeah we're gonna warm up doing a little bit of clay bird shooting it's been a little while I grew up hunting really excited to be back here at Elias to bring me out hunting with his dogs but before we get out into the field the right thing to do is to warm up on some unseen play bird beautiful you really got to be comfortable get some practice be comfortable shooting the gun we're not trying to wound birds we're trying to give them a real quick kill so we're gonna dust you know dust off some of the guns here and get me oiled up then we'll head out into the field huh let's do this load that bad boy all right Vinnie can't stress enough gun safety button you know like I only have a lot of fun on this show but all jokes aside this is a serious thing and I mean safety first the last you know we're out here having fun trying to get you know delicious delicious birds to eat but the end of the day it's all about safety so you stay behind me all right Vince we're going for a double see if we can nail it no pressure no pressure there are three people I know can't teach that that's alright though that's a hell of a start right there put more shells hey hey buddy how we doing oh you can't teach that two in one get two birds down and watch their video you do that I mean even think we need to go Fez appendix be it for if there was a four time they'd be a little more impressive but yeah you know whatever you know oh I mean well these clay birds are flying mighty nice I tell you what that might be some of the nicest toss yeah that is people are talking I noticed you know this comes from years of experience you always keep your finger off the trigger saying a gun safety class but uh yeah space the bezel down a little bit you do don't even tell me all right don't need that how do you want to say no I don't want to say Paul just do it I need one more shot at it you want to shoot us she'll shoot up off you see we got it yeah you tell me when good pull still got folks that was in my wheelhouse - there's no excuses for [Laughter] [Applause] loving it all right I'm ready you ready come on one more round yeah let's do this oh yes we're gonna Tom Berenger here one shot one kill Vinny you know the story stick with their own trigger I'm feeling good we warmed up we let that one live but no big deal and yeah now we're gonna go meet up with a couple friends what's their names are leather in Utah oh hi it's go ahead this is the leather my old one stay bud Hugh stay stay okay he's five and he is so much fun I've never had a dog or met anything that has like as much Drive as this guy never seen him I've never ever seen him stop I'm already working oh yeah he's it's on that's Utah Utah 82 they're excited so yeah so I mean five I was fortunate enough to grow up bird hunting and you know we had a bird dog doing it with my dad and I just want to point out to folks that they love to do this you guys we train them but like it's in their DNA right I mean this is what they live to do yeah like I can't take them to any dog park in the world and make them as happy as I am just having a run at the scent of birth lose their crap and you'll see you'll see when they get out there you couldn't make them do this stuff like that's all they want to do right now is get out there and find birds and then you'll see as you watch them hunt it's just in their DNA you can't teach them a little still like that and then they'll wait for the birds and it's so exciting I mean going out and harvesting your own food with dogs that you've trained and the nuances between the places that you're gonna find the birds and how the dog hunts terrain and like that is just so darn fast absolutely watching the dogs do what they're do you know it's easy and then we all do it I'm glad we can to just go buy you know a package you know already cleaned up chicken or something but to go out and and do the work yourself you know there's a certain type of attachment to it you know and like you really appreciate it especially when you earn it it's like anything I've said and also there's you can go buy any kind of chicken in the world and taste it right you can spend that money for right but these birds you go out and hunt in these crazy corners of this country and you find them that's the most nuanced delicious meat I've ever tasted well they're eaten what they're meant to eat exact up in some pain their whole life but yeah so the dogs are gonna go on point don't run out keep your barrel open broken dog goes on point we can close the gauge keep your safety on we'll see what happens to the board get close to it bird flushes I'm familiar but when you say the dog goes on point oh yeah like that so the but when the dog smells in an ideal world everything they lock up so they can run out in front of you get into the wind and they're gonna show you where the bird point is point right to it stop they did some classy little gentleman classy dudes yeah boy stealer you're going hunting yeah I will be back for you pup [Music] yeah I mean I think it's always a good rule of thumb good observation there Vince even though I mean it's clearly it's unloaded but it's just that you know it's like a muscle memory you just want to always even when treat even when it's completely unloaded dead you gotta always respect the entreated as though it were a live weapon and 100% if it was ready to fire safety always on and you know when we're ready to go out it's nice bad knees these dogs too for the most part you kind of get a little bit of a warning ya don't even engage it until we're ready if something if something bumps up and it's at all we can't have any other birds will refined them but dogs will do the work if they over run something we ain't ready we don't have to worry about getting too many birds right safety is the point so let's what kind of birds are gonna be out here so we have this is a preserve so they have hen pheasants rooster pheasants and chukkers chuckers what the charters are Himalayan partridges easy hundred up all right there goes see how we do I instantly get nervous like oh I'm gonna blow this uh-huh watch out intense when he smells it you always want to run your dogs which is tricky right now you want to run them into the wind and leather here and you run them into the wind so so that they pick up the scent exactly the scent cone is what a little birds are here the wind comes out as it gets further out they get in a cone he'll start finding them and start tailing leather and that dogs working beautifully yeah he runs pretty good huh Oh easy whoa you shoot it a window I get 12 o'clock - what is over here nine nine thank you okay cool you get a 12 o'clock - what's over there that's the point okay metals whoa so I'm just gonna stand on this trail stand on this trail I'll go moving in whoa leather yeah if they fly behind them let us go yeah let's try not to look like idiots beautiful point there's a bird in the shrub there in the sage whoa a double okay double chuckers easy bud hope whoa yeah hey do that leather here touch that up here my good boy good patch yeah one more than a good boy that Bert good boy but we got a double all right that's just how you do that that's it at the end of the day everyone hates you know the industrialization of food and these big factory farms that are just cranking out super unhealthy you know it doesn't look like this is a factory farm chicken yeah you know and I mean it happened for a reason and I'm glad that the momentum is kind of shifting back away from that and you know not everyone can go out and hunt but if you can man this is I in my opinion one of the one of the cleanest ways to consume meat 100 you know and you're out here it's not just the meat yeah you're out here with your friends and you know it with the dog and the beautiful nature and it it for me it just really ties you back into your food 100% and it's reading it but you're out here it's gonna regenerate you have a chance for these birds to repopulate come in come hang out I mean these preserves to hunt are amazing for people like you know when you come out all the way from New York and you want to go out don't worry get in the hunt if we were not on a Preserve and hunting we'd be hunting ten miles and we might see three birds and like go this is a good way to get people back into hunting or if you're interested in go to a Preserve ask it you know they always have trainer and dog handlers out there and then just see if you love it see how hard it actually is to touch these dogs and catch these birds but cool well carry on I'll throw this here in there this year bird bag in the back Filson thanks bud leather leather we got a big crowd to look good in front of here today but it could be running on peanuts don't let these birds Vinny go over here but another thing with these birds man they really don't run on your like turkeys you know they get they flying is kind of their last resort of Defense you know but like if they can get on the ground they run like chickens man oh I got a Chuck here in front of me leather here see if you put there it is whoa good point but whoa right I can see you not even moving there you go that one got away let hold on leave it you know I'm fine with that you know it's uh you know it's only fair you know hey good thing I you're not played us yeah hypothetically you could hit them all but it's almost I'm just kind of like when one gets it with it well as long as you get something first that's a point back on okay for the interview whoa let it leer it it's at two in a row we've missed yes sir I didn't even see it didn't count I fell fat sweaty Greek dude falling down no big deal sorry about that sorry your dad's an idiot found some mud though didn't you perfect so at a young age that at least my approaches is like you get these dogs at three months old and then what I like to do is get them out into this country and let them run if I see a quail Covey of quail on the road I let the young dog out and then you just think build this drive they get they smell it something's in them that just charges up right and there's like you have the best thing ever just like get it into them this is the great that's them then they come back to the car and you give them a stick of Olympia provisions salami making everything just so enjoyable just so there's no way and I'm back in the old dog world they were just like just try to beat the rules into them and obedience walk next to you everything to me the dogs I like to hunt honors are the ones that have personality right they just run out there and you can literally see them being like this is the greatest thing that's ever happened to me leather hey he's like what's up with this camera stuff pops yeah he looks good for this first time out you kind of stayed in shape huh like me then once you get them all super jazzed up then your whole goal is to teach him to stop you teach you the three commands you gotta teach a bird dog is here which is harder than you think like the second they hear you they should come back whoa that's when they could you should say well when ever and they hear the word wow they should stop and then out hope get out there and then the whistles are great was that mean so restless should be coming back what you did good boy usually what happens if they go out of sight for whistles is all right contact they come up till they see you or the orange you spot them then they go hunt if you hear 4 whistles and they don't come back their own point talk smarter than me boy so good were idiots idiots I know it's a boy oh yeah let's slow it down for you these dogs don't run and work until they fall asleep and yeah you can really make it in this temperature when it's just dry out you've really got to pay some because they will they just want to please you they want to please themselves easy but oh dear all right all right bunch man black down yeah I know man Uli's Oh whole bunch of them yeah that's what I wonder if that's what he's smelling boy that's a nice little hurt huh that's why we come out here nature staring contest do you member that no all right he's on point right whoa there we go here we go no mister no mrs. Scott Brad what's the thing you always say Vince it's a clear head open heart system it's right there pheasant rooster yeah who makes money is and it's moving we'll go back what a vote goes we didn't have a shot you know I'd rather try against the force of shot don't ever you know it's painful to watch you know one of the birds fly away like that especially a big old rooster pheasant but we didn't have a safe shot and you know it's always a good rule you know you can always go hunt more you know I'd rather not take a shot then then throw some risky shot out there I mean that's not even an option get that no shot hey lass I can't help but notice you keep picking up shells yeah we're not doing a lot of shooting yeah it's uh but I know it's your what you're doing the right thing just picking up other people's I just can't believe people could come out to a place like this and be like that yeah yeah what this place needs is a little bug a little the garnish right right litter little man-made plastic yeah no tie it all together all right me just cuz other people want to be dirtbags you know it doesn't mean we need to be Benny pack in pack out anything you bring what you bring home you know and this would be so hard without a dog oh my gosh it's a it's just not the imaginative exercise disgusting I don't know I've ever told you about no after I did you got gooey would appreciate it so when our bird dog passed away yeah my dad took the tag off the collar traced it onto the stock of the gun off chiseled it out get out and riveted unconscious those dog tags on the pinaud he loved that freak we got to get your dad out here we will straight ahead of me whoa do you not know who yeah Wow good boy boy he's like this is hot here's your bird oh boy ah-ha good job got open safety on beautiful smaller one yeah but one nonetheless yeah and look at this thing they got these Spurs on him the male this is a male pheasant something called a [ __ ] bird something called a rooster that's it beautiful thing delicious good shot - killed it instantly yeah at the end of the day the last thing you want to do is wound these animals you don't want the animal to suffer no matter what you're hunting no exactly you're just not doing it for sport god it's pretty out here yes there is man let's pack it up we're moving out west a little tornado how you smell buzzing dust

remember my dad doing that when he was training to directly as much as you can get that stuff in them and make them stoked to do it y'all go boy turn it into a game that bird yeah that's a good young

huh I think I got that one yeah betcha but God that'd be good I can't get that bring it to dad here oh yeah feeds a family of three right there nothing's huge so beautiful Sound speed I mean I grew up I you know my dad kind of we burned hunting and that was just kind of something that we did together you know when I was a little younger it was at first it was kind of annoying like I was gonna get up early in this and I did but like and I got out of it for a while and now a I'm just really being drawn back into it and you know I never got to ask you like when did you how'd you get into Burt Rutan yeah my family you know my father came from Greece and this was definitely like a way to get me yeah up before sunrise every single day off we were hunting doing it to fill the table you know my dad took it very very serious and it is it's like it's in annex it's an escape from whatever you have to do the spore in the activity of hunting but if you're in it to actually like I am you know fill the table and get a lot of meat and eat these amazing Birds that you can go find bear or whatever it is it's amazing so I've hunted I think that you know since I was a kid just like you and then I took you know got distracted with high school yeah that sounds sad same exactly and then you go out one more time and it's just in you yeah all of a sudden you just get back out there and watch the dogs work what was one of your favorite dishes growing up like how it had you guys cook them you know my dad Greek we make I've got lemon oh yeah you had that like Greek lemon custard that was rice but we would take the game birds make the chicken broth or the pheasant broth game bird broth pull the meat off of it thicken it with lemon custard dill lemon on top of it cold feta and olive oil that's the thing it's you chase these things and you start tasting you start noticing the nuances you shoot a grouse in the Cascades that's full of berries you take it home and it tastes sweet like there's you shoot a sage trucker that's been in sage and cheatgrass and it has this unbelievable sage flavor you can't fight it yeah thank you again for bringing us out this is you know it's such for me just a beautiful way if if you're gonna be if you're interested in hunting and you mean let's face it not everyone can hunt or is in a position to I still go to the supermarket and I still get that clean chicken and there's nothing wrong with that you know but there is some really special to going out and hunting and gathering food on your own that was wild and and bringing it back and you know feeding your family and friends with it and there's just something to really be said about that we're gonna head out and we're gonna do one more push try to get a few more birds but after that you got your tune in we're going to do a part two where we're gonna back to allies this house we're gonna dress these birds we're gonna cook them make a meal together and and show you all that good stuff so thanks for joining guys we're gonna do one more push and hey bone Appetit good throw these days huh Bradlee home Leone it's cool like you know buddy nobody pronounces the Yi let's go I can't pronounce
