Scott Linden's Wingshooting USA

Cross “Dog Whisperer” with “A River Runs Through It,” add shotguns, beautiful places and the camaraderie of the hunt and you’ve got the definitive show on the subject … by passionate participants, for them. Wingshooting USA focuses on the FUN of this great sport and (finally!) honors the dogs that make it all possible. Scott Linden's TV show authentically portrays the upland hunt, from exciting dog work to hunting action … hits and misses and the camaraderie of good friends in the field. Useful tips and advice ensure you’ll become a better shooter, dog owner and bird hunter … and it’s all offered in an entertaining, engaging style unique to Scott’s shows. To watch, check local listings for over-the-air stations and regional sports networks; search your Smart TV and streaming providers. Spectacular locales, canine athletes doing their best, and a minimum of gab … it’s no wonder Wingshooting USA has been voted “favorite upland show” many years running in a national survey, and host Scott Linden was named “favorite host” in a nationwide survey of over 800 wingshooters and dog owners. It’s equal parts adrenaline rush and insights into the dogs that fuel it, from an award-winning producer who is passionate about dogs, birds and the people who chase them. Innovative production puts you “on the ground,” with the birds as they’re pinned by a trembling shorthair … or in the air as they flush before the gun!
