Jacob & Ethan Schurter are DIY upland bird hunters on a mission to bag North America’s Upland Slam. We dig into their DIY trip planning and execution, scouting before and during a hunt, hunting strategies, the challenges each bird presents, worst experiences, favorite memories, finding the right hunting partners, thanking farmers, laughing at each other, and reason to hunt in new places.
