Brian Koch

Brian Koch

Brian founded Ultimate Upland in 2010 to be the most comprehensive resource for upland hunting enthusiasts. Since then it has grown into a community where bird hunters congregate and share their love for the sport. Brian strives to be the hardest working bird hunter in the country and aims to reach hunters and new members with detailed accounts of Ultimate Upland adventures. Koch is joined afield by hunting partners Wyatt the hard-headed lab, Rio the setter often referred to as the Wild One, and Ida the newest flushing pupil.
