In the episode of Mother Earth News and Friends, join avid hunters Dennis Biswell, Jami and Richard McCabe to discuss the conservation and hunting experience of upland game birds.

 

Jami McCabe went to the first BOW program in Kansas as a participant, and has moved through the ranks.  She was a participant for 4 years, then helped teach archery for another 4 years, and has been the Coordinator ever since.  Her other job is as an LPN at a cardiology clinic.  Jami & her husband, Dick, have a large blended family of grandkids, kids, and in-laws, along with their assortment of 4-legged “kids” (dogs, cats, horses).  Jami and Dick enjoy turkey hunting together, and taking their hard-hunting Brittany out chasing birds.  When she’s not out hunting or with family, she can also be found riding her horses.

Richard McCabe’s current hunting passions include chasing upland game with his dog, Badger, and son, Mike; sitting in a duck blind with son Mike, daughter Michelle and friend Steve; still or blind hunting with Jami for wild turkey; and guiding pheasant hunters.

He has hunted for more than 65 years, and has been privileged to hunt successfully in more than 35 states and several provinces, for upland game, big game and waterfowl. He now prefers sedentary hunting. Besides family, friends and pets (although the pets are friends and family), hunting is his foremost passion.
