Reilly's comment: 1.6 Billion hunters in China. The china man would follow the bird to the nest, eat the egg and then the bird!" Yes indeed ! I had a friend who lived in China for about 16 months. He told me and I confirmed in my two separate visits there ... they essentially eat everything ...

I have driven across parts of rural China ... did not see any wildlife at all ... I have been at events in a Chinese city park. Green, trees, never heard or saw a bird.

Purchase a GPS unit and collar (with e-correction or not >> your call). Yes - it is a great tool to keep track of your dog and worry less about becoming separated (lost) ... but where it shines is finding that dog on point in heavy cover ... grouse woods or tall thick prairie grass ... when...

My experience has been Season #2 (dog is a year old) has been the most challenging. It is like a 16 year old person ... they have the basic skil set, but all of a sudden they think they know everything. Corralling that independent streak, but not destroying it is the goal. It is also the...

Go meet Ronnie in person in one of his classes. First level class ... there is one in Illinois in May and one in southern MN in early June. I have watched both videos and buy into their overall strategy ... but be flexible ... I have their rope ... use it some ... wear gloves if you do use...

Congrats. Patience, patience, and more patience. Walk her every chance you get ... find a place to let her run.

Pretty dog. I want one. She appears to be Liver Roan. About the rarest color combination for a Brittany. I have a liver roan Brittany that is now 16 years old (retired after her 13 year season and that was being a bit careful with her). Puppy picture: Second photo is her fishing with...

Bob gets it … he is just a few steps behind but catching up fast I did not find this post preachy … simply just his approach. I think he is wrestling with a game farm hunt and is putting the debate in his head out on this thread. My thought is don’t worry that others chose not to follow your...

From what I just searched and read, training dogs on wild birds requires an inexpensive license (residents $5 and nonresidents $10) - I suppose to track how many there really are. The training dates (nonresident September 1 - March 31) are only on public land. A dog trainer can still train in...

There are actually plenty of trial dog guys that head into Montana or even western Canada before the grouse season. They train bird dogs on sharp tail grouse before the season even opens. Those guys will move elsewhere unless prohibited in that state also.

Nonresident hunting influx is an issue because many stay longer than they used to. Some lease land where leasing is uncommon. Others flood public land or camp in front of public land ... creating access issues. The first thing states do is to jack up the license fees to capitalize on...

Every time I see a Royal (6x6) Elk mount - I pretty much assume canned fence hunt - which is in away sad :(. Canned Elk and Whitetail hunts bother me much more than pheasants because these "farms" tend to be epicenters for spreading CWD.

I ask ... who really should care what others do if conducted in a legal manner ? I do not cruise facebook looking for others' kill piles. I rarely if ever look at a single hunting video including those of you who post links on here. Most of my photos posted on this site are of my dogs ...

Some guys swear by using green light flashlights. I am lucky that my night vision is actually pretty good and if in an area with any "light pollution" at all ... never use a flashlight.

I would say Toms either see you or hear you if you get too close no matter how dark it is. Full moon ? Sometimes you have that gobbler roosted, but you stumble past a hen or a jake or two or three and that can end the gig rather abruptly too.
