Episode 050: The Birds and The Bees, & Butterflies w/Elsa Gallagher

Elsa Gallagher is a biologist for The Bee and Butterfly Habitat Fund and an avid bird hunter and field trailer. She’s down from an even dozen hunting dogs to a mere 9 these days. We discuss her Vizsla named Hatch, and his recent placement at the AKC National Champion, along with her lifelong dedication to quail, as well as her most recent project with The Bee and Butterfly Habitat Fund and how you can qualify for free seed mix with their Seed A Legacy Program.   The Bird Dog Babe Podcast is Presented By: Purina Pro Plan Boss Shotshell   6:50 AKC National Championship 10:50 Training with Perfection Kennels 15:50 He’s a bird dog before a field trial dog 18:00 Life’s dedication to quail 20:00 First bird dog and those after 27:15 Current string 30:50 Making the transition into horseback field trials 34:00 Getting started hunting 36:00 For the love of quail 38:25 Ideal quail habitat 40:50 Quail Biologist and not for profit habitat projects 47:10 What is a pollinator 51:30 Lifecycle of the butterfly 55:15 Honeybees 57:00 Seed mix diversity 58:40 Seed A Legacy Program 1:00:30 Minimum acreage for program 1:01:50 Site prep 1:04:00 When to apply 1:05:10 Habitat upkeep 1:07:10 Grasses in seed mix 1:09:30 Ideal acreage for program 1:15:50 The Bee and Butterfly Habitat Fund    Seed A Legacy Program    YouTube Webinars 1:16:20 Favorite game bird and rabbit recipes --------------------------------------------------- Thank you to our Partners: Dakota283 Kennels (promo code birddogbabe for 10% discount) Syren: Shotguns for Women BigFrig: Coolers, Tumblers and Dry Boxes for Your Way of Life Support this podcast on Patreon Connect with Courtney Follow Bird Dog Babe: Instagram Facebook YouTube -------------------------------------------------
