The best preparation makes for the best burn. If you are wanting to do a spring burn fall mowing and baling gives a great headstart. If not done in the fall mowing and raking is a good idea. Lots of water and people who know what is expected of them is a absolute. We burned 4 pieces yesterday...

Wild pheasants try many things to escape danger(us). Someone asked about pointers being able to pin/point educated birds? I believe whatever has worked for the bird in the past is what they do=learned behavior. I have shot many birds over points where the bird was holding on the edge of cover...

My friend has 2 labs and after hunting with my buddies vdds and my weims informed us that he told his better half "when the old dog can't hunt anymore we are getting a versatile". He says it's just too simple not to.

Brookings County Pheasants Forever is holding our 39th annual banquet. If you guys went to pheasantfest and couldn't find anything to buy come to our banquet and try to win something. Plenty of quality guns. I personally am donating a Browning Sweet 16. Don't be a stranger ask any committee...

People are always asking about traveling and minimum maintenance roads.. stay off the minimum maintenance roads and you won't ever get stuck on a minimum maintenance road. Most gravel roads are passable.. if in doubt turn around.

Probably everyone knows how embarrassing this is . Well today I have a dog on point in snowed in short grass. Kicking around and the bird literally comes out under my foot dang near tipped me over. Of course I recovered in time for the obligatory miss.

So in the Minnesota forum there is a thread on a dog dies at trainer. I think this should be Moved to this area? Also a few years ago their was a Iowa kennel named something like run n gun , where the owner couldn't be found and dogs were abandoned, anyone know more about this?

Went out with my buddy on his ground. Hunted a hour and got our 3 each. Had 2 nice recoveries on winged birds. We both ran 1 dog. First time of have ever had my weim actually act cold. He was all business when into birds and retrieving.

So yesterday I tried to order some product. My card was declined. I checked and there was no reason to be declined. I tried a second card and it appeared to go thru but there was no confirmation and I was returned back to the declined card. Well 10 minutes goes by and the fraud unit from my...

One of the other threads has lots of comments about dog tails. I prefer the docked tails like my weims or gsp's. I actually get a bigger kick out of the helicopter action of a dogs tail on hot scent over the stiff tail on point. The former means there maybe some action , the later means I have...

My brother , the deer hunter , was walking in the river bottom and spotted a rooster tail sticking out of the grass. He grabbed the tail and the bird didn't move. Bird was crushed by a tree that fell over.

So I stated in a earlier post that I am always happy if the others guys I hunt with shoot all the birds. I surmised they never went 70 for their last 70. Of course I got some flack about that. I explained I hunted every day with great dogs on ground I knew. Short barreled shotgun wide open choke...

Hunted some crp early today running all 3 of my weims. Pushing 60° with a 15 mph wind. Had some good tracking,trailing pointing. Had all 3 on point in a field corner. 5 roosters boiled out and as was getting ready to pick 1 out another 3 came out. Picked 1 of them and dumped him. A younger me...

Seems that 30 years ago everyone cautioned against feeding high protein year round. Has the food gotten better or is liver/kidney damage still a real concern?

Saturday August 5th Beacon Hill is having a event for the ladies. 9 to 99 there will be something for all. Rifles pistols muzzle loaders shotguns and maybe even axe/knife throwing. Our Brookings County Pheasants forever group is covering the Admisdion fee so come have a great free time.

Someone posted in a thread about a great experience with Cole from Badland Kennels. I can't find that thread any where now

I know I ain't good looking either but... I looked at about a 100 new shotguns today and only about 6 look good.
