He never talked about equipment, though he used a Browning BSS exclusively for several seasons. He never talked about dog products. He simply hunted with dog and friends.

He had no problem showing episodes where he never hit a bird. The show evolved a bit. He mated Hank and produced Dash to be the replacement.

I had stopped doing much upland hunting. Then I saw his show and it re-ignited by interest. He was selling VHS tapes of old episodes from his website. If you ever get a chance to see one of the shows, especially the old Hunting with Hank episodes, go for it. These are filled with classic upland hunting scenes. If I had a copy, I would send it to you...
