- The Host of The Gun Dog Notebook brings us on his personal journey into the culture and dog life of the Red Hills.
"I have spent about 20 years studying fine art and art history; I am really drawn to tracing modes of expression as humanity and groups of people evolve. It’s about developing a comprehensive documentation of human evolution through expression. As such, music and the arts are weighted with an incredibly powerful presence in every culture, especially that of the Red Hills region-specifically Thomasville, Georgia. The music, song, and dance came from Atlanta, but the spirit came from way deep in the pineywoods. And it is deep in them woods that I join the early morning choir. It’s often men’s day in the woods, and “The Deacon,” Bob White, is singing his solo to the daybreak hymn."

Not sure how anyone could give this video a thumbs down. Very inspiring and love your take on life, Durrell.
I have followed this guy for a good bit, ever since I was living outside Atlanta and read about him in a hunting rag. This guy is the real deal and is keeping traditions alive. A true southern gentleman and an ever passionate sportsman!
The bond of sport and fellowship and the love we have for our dogs 🐾🐾 How we connect together in our sporting traditions so important now more so than ever. A superb film👍
I always have to watch your films twice. The reason being I am moved to tears every time because of the people. And the way they find passion and happiness in this sport and art in dogs and the beauty of your cinematography.
I experienced the very same phenomenon. Absolutely moved to tears. Spectacular!
I'm so happy to see my brother out having a good time,I live here in the state of California,my father started me hunting at the age of ten,we had some great pointers,my pops is gone now in I've hunted in the state of Oklahoma,I miss thoughts good time ,I think about it often, good luck you my brother in keep the footage coming.....thank you
One of the best videos I have seen about the sport. Would like to see him work in person ;-)
This is awesome. This is what our country should be promoting.
Mr. smith, you’ve already made it to the “winners circle”. Truly inspiring words at the end of this video. I’ve been chasing grouse with my GSP’s in the Catskills for 3 seasons and have bagged 2 birds. The love of the chase and watching the dogs keeps us going!! God Bless.
I love this dude!!
This is probably the best Project Upland video I have watched to date. Keep up the good work!
Amazing video ❤
Beautiful story of commitment and perseverance! My prayer is for your dreams to come in spite of trials and tribulations. Christ is our Victory!
Beautiful film my man! You’ve been inspiring me to get into bird hunting and working dogs. I hope to be able to learn enough to teach somebody else one day.
Great job guys.
This is my favorite video that you guys have put out. Excellent, keep up the good work 👍
This is incredible.
Loved this video. Well done
After a VERY long time away from the bird dog world, I now have a 6 month old English Setter. He has the bloodlines, the nose, and the spirit and this video has inspired me to see if I still have enough in the tank for one more hunting partner. Vermont may be a long way from Georgia but the common love of dogs and hunting connect us. Thanks, Durrell!
Another great Project Upland film hit out of the park with another Upland Legend! I got the urge to head to Georgia for some Bob's now....
Powerful message.
Great movie there Durell. I loved it.
Beautiful story man love it
Beautiful habitat
Yooo Durrell got me hype. I’m down in GA and just got into quail hunting. He’s an inspiration!
I enjoy listening to Durrell's podcast!
"Who said Pointers don't retrieve?" Get 'em Durrell!
This guy is an inspiration. What a nice guy.
Some of my fondest hunting memories are of my pointers working coveys and singles in central Illinois with a fellow dog man and bird hunter. Farming practices changed, friends and acquiaintences moved on, and age changed priorities. I wouldn't know where to go to find birds anymore. I hunt pheasants in Kansas every year, but that's all I can manage now. I often think about starting another dog, but It just wouldn't be fair to a good dog. I loved this video, and I agree with every word Durrell said.
Shot clays for the first time last week and have become engulfed in the culture.
Bought me a new shotgun, and lookin in to a bird dog. Don’t even know where to start on how to train em, but excited as hell! Great vid!
Love it. Cool stuff!
Wonderfully done all!
This is a very inspiring video. Makes me want to load up my 4 month old gsp and head to south Georgia and hunt with this dude.
Amen
Traditions of hunters handed down by mentoring is always a great place to start.
Would like to hunt with Durrell someday
Getting mentors is how I got into upland hunting.
Man this awesome I’m looking for a guided quail hunt in ga any recommendations?
Last part of the video 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Sport is the last thing we should be bringing race into. Specially something as spiritual as hunting.
Bro I’m in Augusta, or to far away!
Would love to hunt with you my man.
Dove and quail is my favorite hunting
Great quail hunting, dog handling video.
I live in Scotland and would like to come to the US to explore this type of hunting. I will do some online research but would like to seek advice. I have relatives in South Carolina. Quail, Grouse, Woodcock are where my interest lies. Any advice gratefully received.
That may be the best video I have ever seen on UA-cam. I have a place in North Florida about an hour and a half away from the first sign in Georgia advertising quail hunting. My neighbor hood is literally named “Quail Hollow “ but we have very few left. I am told it’s due to fire ants. Any validity to that?
OMG...seeing this video brought back SO MANY MEMORIES of quail hunting in southwest Georgia. My dad, brothers and I would walk miles of country farmland with two hunting dogs hunting quail on the hedgerows. Just being out in the country...listening to nature...the excitement of the dogs pointing the bird...the smell of gun powder after the shot...the satisfaction of retrieving the bird...the cleaning and freezing of the bird for Thanksgiving dinner...THOSE WERE THE GOOD OLE DAYS!!! Also, I want to make this statement: BLACK PEOPLE HUNT WILD GAME. How do you think we survived all these centuries...eating McDonalds? Big game...small game...it doesn't matter. Personally, I don't care what color you are. Just don't drink before we hunt, and HAVE CONSTANT MUZZLE AWARENESS (WATCH YOUR LINE OF FIRE). It's good to be on the hunt...but ALWAYS be thinking safety, safety, SAFETY. A gun is NOT A TOY. It is an AWESOME RESPONSIBILITY to own and use properly.
Does anyone know what best he is wearing in this video?
i believe it is a Tom Beckbe vest. I have the tensaw jacket made by them. A little expensive but super high quality and will last a lifetime if you take care of it
Now this is real quial hunting like I used to enjoy as a lad. The "preserves" kill tamed birds. I live beside Dubois Plantation, and all the birds that get away are just coyote-bobcat-opposum-& me, lol. I could get around good on my quad hunting with yaw down yonder?
Quails are delicious. I learned this hunting them in Virginia. 💪🏾 💪🏾 💪🏾 🍗
Which gauge shotgun is that?
.410, it’s quiet challenging which makes it a favorite among refined and experienced upland hunters.
Not sure if I missed it in the vid, anyone know the make of his double barrel, looks beautiful !
Not sure, but since AYA is a sponsor I’m going out on a limb and say an AYA 4/53 model in Esther 28 ga. or410 ☺️
Eather
@@normmyers4337 Thank you!
I hunt with a Pewdersoli 12 bore sidexside muzzle loader. It is way cool.
👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
have you ever encountered a robot bird like a spy bird or drone bird?
Gentlemen bob
Bird dogs don't care birds don't care and neither do I!!
For seventeen years i've been sneaking off to go on little hunting trips around the world no i don’t even know what the fuck a quail is
What is he talking about ? He rambles on.
