    New Quail Hunter

    I have a springer and have been hunting pheasants pretty hard for a few years. This fall I have had some bad experiences on public land in Iowa while pheasant hunting. I decided to change up my hunting a little. I was fortunate enough to get some access to areas where a mixed bag of pheasant and...

    Training Pointing Dogs

    I have been considering a pointing breed for my next dog. I have never trained a pointing dog so I have some questions I am hoping someone can shed some light on. I will hunt mainly pheasants but will probably grouse hunt once or twice per year, quail maybe once a year, and I would like to take...

    Albert Lea

    I am going to Wyoming in October. I am driving out there with some friends from the Twin Cities. We are going to try to meet in Albert Lea.

    Collars

    I am getting a Springer later this winter. I am trying to get things I'll need for the pup spread out in advance to spread out the cost some. We will be hunting mostly land in central and northwest Iowa. I am trying to figure out what collar I will need since they can be a 2nd mortgage. I am...

    Scouting

    I am just getting into pheasant hunting. I recently moved to Iowa, so I now have the opportunity to hunt wild pheasants. My question is how do you scout pheasants? Do you look for good habitat? Do you drive around early in the morning and later at night to see birds on the road/gravel? Any...

    First Bird Dog

    I am getting my first bird dog. I am getting a Boykin Spaniel. I have my training program in place. I am joining a local retriever training group and I am a member at a local preserve so I can get the dog on birds as often as possible. As this is my first bird dog, I want to make sure I am...
