Most bird hunters think of Springers, Labs, or German Shorthairs when they picture an upland dog. But what about an Airedale Terrier?

In this episode of Go Flush Yourself, Matt and Jared sit down with hunter, retired Army veteran, and outdoor television host Eric Morris to talk about one of the most misunderstood hunting breeds around.

Eric shares why he chose an Airedale after years hunting with a Chesapeake Bay Retriever, how his dog Priest performs on upland birds and waterfowl, what makes the breed so unique, and why he believes the Airedale deserves far more respect among hunters.

The conversation also ventures into hunt tests, versatile hunting dogs, training philosophy, and stories from hunts across North America and Africa.

Whether you’re devoted to your current bird dog or simply curious about lesser-known working breeds, this episode offers a fascinating look at a dog that refuses to fit neatly into one category.

Follow Eric on his Instagram at @nontypicaloutdoorsman, Facebook at Eric N.T.O. Morris, and his YouTube channel, Non-Typical Outdoorsman.

He also has a video about Airedale Terriers on his YouTube where you can learn more about this breed.

Tom Roster has spent 50 years testing, designing, and improving shotgun ammunition. As a ballistics researcher, inventor, and author, he’s helped shape the development of modern shotshell loads used by hunters around the world.

In this episode, Tom breaks down the science behind shotgun performance — from lead versus non-toxic shot, pellet energy, patterning, and terminal ballistics to what decades of real-world testing reveal about what actually works in the field.

With tens of thousands of birds studied and a lifetime spent chasing answers, Tom Roster brings a rare level of data-driven insight into the art and science of hunting.

Check out Tom's Non-Toxic Shot Lethality Table. In fact, you may want to be looking at the table during the episode.
