Sorry to hear that! where are you from and was this just a routine checkup or were you seeing something that raised a concern?

As some have said already some are genetically inclined to be more of a gatherer than a hunter but starting young is definitely a help. Both my boys are obsessed to a point of worry sometimes now, but it comes from me. My daughter will go as a social event only. Both my boys were in a duck boat...

Nice pic! Ive switched to german dogs but will always have a spot for a good lab.

Ill admit i rarely pick up my own shells but Im trying to make a conscious effort to do it. What I do is pick up any others I find and usually can come out way ahead for the day, What Im adamant about is making sure the parking lot on any public spot is spotless before I leave it.

For the past month or so every time i come to this website I have to reconfirm my email. This may take a day or up to three for them to send me a confirmation email link. Is this just me and my computer or is this happening to everyone?

Ill have to try the slow cooker! I usually take the breast and thighs and freeze the legs and feet for raw dog treats. Ill bring about three per dog with hunting and give them each one between fields for a little boost and wait to feed until days end. They love the butchering time as well as...

I bought some boots and put just the one on. Duck tape it on fairly tight without cutting circulation and looking good.

I would guess this has been discussed already but I couldnt find it with the search bar. My young dog has a cut on the pad on his front foot. Not sure if it came from a coon or a sharp rock. Maybe 1/3 inch long and limps on it when on a hard surface. I bought boots Ill try on that foot but...

If your in decent shape and have a dog you will be fine on public. East river deer season opens 11-23 I believe so keep that in mind.

I normally always run two at a time but left an injured one home yesterday. I noticed better more controlled retrieves on two different poorly shot roosters. I thought maybe because less competition and a slower more controlled track.

Hunted the grasslands south of Williston this year and the cactus were the worst Ive seen. Bird numbers were great but moved off after the second day due to the dogs all limping. Leatherman type tool is a must.

Buy steel and be done with it. Cant remember the year but believe it was the second of the new law a warden searched my whole vest and found two of a couple dozen shells were lead. $75 ticket I believe. Have not bought lead since. I use #2 or #3 3in Federals and like them for all birds I hunt...

Im assuming you mean futher west and Id say yes forsure. Numbers are some of the best Ive seen.

I feel bad for you but Id let her sit it out. Its not good especially if you'll be hunting any public or at a hotel with other males. Just like shooting a sitting rooster or crowding someones decoys, not illegal but......
