    North Kansas

    Had an appointment up north with a customer and figured I would throw the dog in the truck and hit a couple small spots a family member owns up north of topeka a half hr or so. He doesn’t bird hunt but doesn’t want it disturbed till after deer season. Usually good for a rooster or two if I’m...

    Do you or don’t you tip housekeeping?

    Over the years I have spent many a night in a hotel while hunting. While I try not to trash the rooms, after 3-4 days of hunting they can get pretty dirty between boots and dogs. The motel this last week was pretty full. I saw a couple dogs pee on the carpet in the hallway, I can’t imagine what...

    I returned from a few days in SD . It was a spur of the moment deal with my oldest son. I broke a toe about 8 weeks ago and he wanted to get back into hunting after an 8 year hiatus getting a masters degree and starting a career/ family. I was finally feeling a bit better and thought I would...

    My Buddy

    So back on April 1st I had to part ways with my awesome hunting partner. My sister-in-law, knowing how devastated I was with this occurrence commissioned a local artist to do an oil painting of him. You will notice the notch out of his tongue. He bit through it while hunting one time. I took him...

    The day finally came

    Unfortunately we had to put my Lab Buddy to rest this morning. It was a hard but right decision to make. We made him a warm bath last night and my daughter went and got him a bacon cheeseburger and ice cream for dinner. I have been a mess today as I knew this would be tough. All the time we...

    Went to the Darkside

    So I grew up with English Pointers as my dad raised, trained and hunted them. We always had four or five and often had puppies. I too hunted with them till I was near 30 when I started going to South Dakota and hunted with some Labs that were awesome. Honestly being from Kansas I had only hunted...

    OK guys, my two boys and I are going to head out for a little public hunting the Tuesday-Wednesday after Christmas. I was wondering if anyone was headed out and might want to hook up for a day. I have to admit I am fairly uneducated on WIHA in Kansas even though I live here. I have access to...

    stupid! flocking dog!

    Man I love bird dogs. They are a big part of our family. Sleep indoors with us. Outside during the day if it isn't raining or bitterly cold. Really pretty damn spoiled. My dad used to say you would ruin them if you had them inside too much. Well I have proven him wrong as have many of us on...
