2024 was a pretty good year for upland where we hunted. 2025 was horrible, did not see 5% of the birds we saw the year before. It’s easy to blame nonresidents for bird shortages, that just don’t wash in my opinion. More likely ,in my opinion running dogs for two full months before the season...

So…. I just got a notice from Montana. Seems that nonresident upland hunters cannot hunt until 10 days after resident season opens on public ground. I called and talked to a couple folks for some clarification about: 1) Does it apply to Federal refuges? It Does. Are they going to “move...

I’ve used a baby shampoo since I was a kid. Seems to kill fleas an also.

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.

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...

Beretta 28 ga. Silver 1. For pheasants, a400 for all waterfowl.

In texas, 10 lb leg quarter bags go for@ $7.00 a bag. My two dogs go through 7-8/ month. So call it sixty bucks on chicken, another 40 on veges.....

Well, I'm a griff guy. Mine will flush on command and retrieve to hell if need be. They do what I need them to.

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...

I’m liking the denier booties, online description at least. How are these boots for causing hot spots?

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?

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...

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...

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.

We boondock next to the farmers silos. We boondock while elk hunting in colorado as well. We haul a 40 ft. fifth wheel toy hauler with a gator sxs inside. Hunting Nebraska for the first time this year, but will be staying at a park for the 10 days we are there.

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...

I’ve only been addicted to pheasants since 2018. In my limited experience your words are spot on.

I have male and female griffs that I hunt together. Not a issue at all. Now my buddies lab has love on his mind sometimes. When that happens we just hunt opposite sides of the cover.

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...
