Zeb, I always enjoyed your posts, stories, and advise. Just remember the line from a country song "It doesn't end in a slow ride in a hearse." Now you need to prepare for what happens next. I wish I could have gotten a day to hunt with you somewhere along the way.
I agree with your reasoning. I once did a three state hunt in one day. Before I started I asked a game warden what I should do to make sure and be legal if I had more that one day limit in any state. He was never confronted with that question before but said as long as I had licenses in each...
So I have a buddy I live vicariously through every pheasant season. He lives in the heart of some great hunting. I am going to brag about him because he is a phenomenal bird hunter and lives for this time of the year. He works a full time job but saves a lot of his vacation for the fall when he...
Sorry man, that is a tough way to find your dog when you come home! Remember the good times and tell the stories of her hunting abilities to anyone who will listen. That will help ease the pain.
I am a little biased because I raise Goldens and I hunt with mine. I think the Goldens I produce make fine hunting dogs. But it all comes down to preference and what you are looking for in a hunting companion. I hunt with my dogs but 9 months out of the year they are a pet and mine live in the...
Hey guys, I have a few guys on the forum that have pups from me. Everybody seems to love what we produce. I have two litters on the ground right now and I still have two females that do not have deposits on them. They will be ready to go to their new homes on the fourth of July weekend. If you...
All right guys, I take offense to the label that Labs are better than Golden's. I will stack mine up to any lab on this forum. Ask the guys who have my dogs or who have hunted with me. But that brings us back to the question of what is the best breed of hunting dog, and that is for another...
Sorry Goosemaster but for $400 you are not going to get a quality huunting dog. I have more money than that into each individual puppy in a litter. The price is only a piece of the overall equation. Good luck in your search. By the way reputable breeders like me give people their money back if...
I sell Golden's for a fair price. Some of the doodle mutts go for more maney that I charge for a good Golden. I don't believe all the hype that surrounds the mixed breeds. I have done the research and the unknowns are a big risk. Give me a call if you want to talk about Goldens.
The only consistent thing I see in flushed birds is that they never flush the way I think they will. I think they already know their escape route and it has to do with their vantage point more than mine.
I have a 2016 F150 I bought new. It has almost 150K on it with no issues. I only pull light loads like a single trailer with a side by side on it but the body is still in perfect shape. I have the samll 2.7L eco boost and I really like it.
