    Recent dog food experience

    I have used deer trimmings and as well as elk, fish,beef. I believe it is all great for them. When I am lucky enough or one of my pards is lucky enough to kill an elk, I take all the organ meat, all the trimmings back to Texas from Colorado.

    Recent dog food experience

    It is dang hard to stick to raw on the road. We are on the road 6-8 wks in the fall. Last year we changed to pro for the trip. It was much easier. We switched back after a couple weeks back home. When switching to purina pro it took two weeks for the pups to get used to it… It took two days...

    Don't wait. I've fed my dogs raw for the last 11 years. I feed raw chicken leg quarters, whole or cut in halves depending on size. We supplement with frozen veges, blue berries, 100% canned pumpkin to help with softening the stool. The stools are much, much smaller and are literally gone in...

    Recommend some dog boots please.

    Thanks for the replies. In regards to stopping hot spots. Where are the likely areas that they show up? And are you just duct taping the tube together or is there some tape on the leg hair?

    Recommend some dog boots please.

    We hunted Nevada this last season. On multiple occasions while trying to get to likely public cover the grass stickers stopped my griffs. Ive never had an issue in with stickers in South Dakota, but dang they were bad in Nebraska and it cost us birds. Looking for some help with a durable dog...

    Pro vs. Cons

    We have two griffons. They work close, have great noses love to retrieve birds. I use them for all upland birds. Ive used them to blood trail and recover big game that we would not have recovered otherwise. I use them for all waterfowl hunting except cranes. They are great in the house...

    At what point do you retire your dog?

    For me, it is when he cannot physically do even a small push. I witnessed a 14 yr old lab make her final wild pheasant retrieve last season. She passed this last Easter. I say hunt them as long as they have the drive, just tailor the hunt for them.

    You never know what a season will bring

    We are unbelievably blessed to have a farmer and his wife that we are able to swap a multiday offshore fishing trip for hunting privileges for. They leave some row corn standing for us. They have "straightened" out the the row crop planting along the many creeks. Thereby leaving great cover...

    Here's a new thing I learned about biology today

    Ive always heard quail will re-nest but have never witnessed this, until last year. We had a horrible drought in West Texas and Old Mexico(where my deer lease is). I made it down for the rut in mid December and hunted quail. They were about the size of sparrows. I shot one, then left them...
