Texas Duck Hunting, Dog Training, and Ship Piloting with John Dunaway

The Lab

#005 Picture the brisk San Jac River region where young John Dunaway embarks on his first duck hunt. That's where our journey begins, as we explore the deep-rooted history of hunting, painting vivid pictures of unique experiences such as an unforgettable trip to Oyster Bayou and recounting memories of a yellow lab named Nixon. We navigate through these tales and more, seeking to bring moments to life that have shaped the bond between man and dog.
We venture into uncharted waters - the life of a ship pilot, a challenging profession that requires unique skills and precision. We offer a blow-by-blow account of navigating the waters, including the famous Texas Chicken maneuver used to pass ships safely in narrow channels.
We then dive into a unique South Texas dove hunting experience. Picture a field complete with coolers, umbrellas, food, and even a mariachi band! We share insights into retriever work and even give you a sneak peek into a beach house on South Padre. It's not just about hunting, it's about the camaraderie, the shared experiences, and the bonds formed. For hunting enthusiasts and dog lovers, this episode promises a blend of humor, excitement, and nostalgia. We hope you're ready for a wild ride!
