SPECIAL GUESTS
Byron Ferguson~ Byron Ferguson has been called “one of the country’s premier trick archers;” “the greatest longbow archer in the world;” and “a sincere archer with a performance record second to none.” Byron is a show favorite, not only for avid bowhunters and archers, but for whole families too. Byron once shot eight dimes in a row out of the air. He uses no sights or other gadgets when he shoots. One of his favorite tricks is splitting a playing card in half – from the side.
Dez Young and Dash~ Dez Young and his Llewellin Setter, Dash, began sharing their bird hunting experiences when Dash was just 7 months old. From the elusive Woodcock in Vermont, Sharptail Grouse in South Dakota, Pheasants in Utah, or Blue Grouse in Montana, Dez and Dash have hunted birds throughout the United States and documented their hunts in Upland Days with Dash and Dez and Dash in the Uplands. Dash, formally Dashing Bondhu, is the son of Dez’s famous Llewellin Setter, Henry Prince of Pause, better known as Hank and star of Hunting With Hank.
