Win Mitchell knows a thing or two about introducing people to waterfowl hunting, and he’s going to share as much of his knowledge as people are willing to consume during his daily seminars both weekends of Game Fair (Aug. 8-10 and Aug. 15-17) in Minnesota.

During the past few decades, Irish-born Labrador retriever trainers have gained an impressive reputation following notable international success – particularly given the small size of Ireland.
Why the success? As with anything in the world of dog training, there’s a multitude of reasons. It’s the old nature versus nurture discussion, and while specialized breeding programs are a strong part of that formula, the nurture side of things seems to give Irish dogs and trainers an edge.

Early voting in Minnesota begins on Friday, Sept. 20, and once again Minnesota voters have a chance to support the outdoors when they fill out their ballot.

“The best time to waterfowl down here is in late December into January,” Criscoe says.

Ian Donovan is driven by patriotism to serve and defend the United States, and that’s what motivated him to leave his job as a roughneck on Gulf of Mexico oil rigs and become a Green Beret in the U.S. Army Special Forces.
He is also driven by a love of dogs and dog training. What began in his childhood – raising and training hunting dogs – resulted in managing dogs for the Army during six deployments. Dog training continues to this day, now as an expert working with a dog food company.
