We dive into Dakota 283, how and why Greg started it as well as hear about the newest feature they have come out with, Dakota Guard. We also get to hear about his labs and find out if hunting pheasants in South Dakota with a pointing dog is really possible.  Related Links: I talked about the benefits of using a Cable Gangz system and thought these two pieces best explain it better than I can. GDIY Podcast Episode mentioned.
