Thanks for starting this as has been written “ how far do you let your dog range “ is a loaded question. It depends on amount of birds, cover and age of the hunter. I have only owned English Pointers, Labs and now a Pudelpointer. So my range has varied. We kept the English Pointers as close as...

Nice picture.

I have noticed that guys that protest about ass grabbing too much will grab an ass or two when nobody is looking… sometimes they get caught and act like it was the first time. BTW I am grateful my wife doesn’t hunt. She does her thing and I do mine.

That won’t work. Your limit is your limit regardless. If you’re caught with more than 15 birds in a 5 day trip you are in violation of possession limits.

It is funny when I was a kid in the seventies I killed many birds with either six or 7.5 loads out of the 20 gauge with whatever choke was in the gun, usually modified. Dad bought whatever was cheap. Tried some prairie storm 12’s when they first came out and was not a fan. It is usually Fiocci...

I dunno if made correctly pheasant poppers are a big hit. I love pounding the breast out and stuffing them with whatever you like then roll them up and smoke at low heat for a few hours. Apple chunks, cream cheese and diced onions and jalapeño is pretty good. Crockpot with brown gravy with...

So I was a couple hours from Mitchell and was lucky enough to find a car wash with a dog wash room right behind cabelas. That mixed with some v8( couldn’t find tomato juice) and a little peroxide and it killed it about 80%. But it took awhile to get it out of her vehicle ( she has a nose like a...

That’s my story too… Wife’s explorer, kennel in back cargo area 30 degrees outside middle of nowhere SD. Not a fun drive home

Ahh nothing better than a good skunking… I have a wonderful story of a direct hit on the last day in BFE South Dakota

The Quality Inn does out back. They also have a community freezer in the lobby. I have stayed there several times over the years. Nice rooms but geez they have got expensive

I think I would prefer seeing goose doing jumps on his dirt bike

Man you had a long time with him… unfortunately I only had five years to hunt with my father before he died in 83. He definitely planted the seed before he left. I think of him often when I get out, especially when my boys can go with me. I have tried to honor him by keeping it alive in them...

Man how awful for this to happen. It’s hard enough to lose them when they age out but an accidental death is painful for sure. I remember my dad losing an EP that was an escaper when I was a kid They can be tough to contain when they get the urge to run.

I had never shot one until about 15 years ago… I have to admit it took a bit to get used to but once I did I shoot as bad with it as I do all my other guns😂…. The added plus is it makes me feel a little Boujee with my twenty year old vest and my stained Carhartt pants. I look more like I should...

It’s got nothing to do with operator error. I became so obsessed with constantly checking it that it became irritating. Supposedly there is a fix out there that I haven’t looked into. Honestly once I started using my Citori featherweight 16, I haven’t shot it much.
