Ive paid $50 for a unregistered dog and 3k for a papered 8 week old "champion bloodline" pup. Both were good but if I could clone one it would without a doubt be the $50 dollar dog. Definitely a once in a lifetime freak.

Do tell? I've been thinking of ethos 12ga 26" and never considered Barrel porting, is porting a good or bad thing?

Beautiful pup! A lab is a flushing breed by nature and if he points for you good if that's what you want but his genetics tend to a close flushing dog and that is a good thing! Enjoy what he is meant to do genetically and if you want a steady pointer look into a GSP or a GWP/DD. I have the later...

Unpopular opinion here. Ive hunted over 80 days each the last two seasons and think the Final Rise may be a little overrated. Its not easy to get the birds into and the water bottles are also hard to get in and out. It is a good vest but not $300 better than a gamehide or any other $45 vest you...

Haven't looked at the rules recently but what if the pheasant flushes over the right of way but you don't shoot until its over private? Legal? I'd say yes but two years ago people were being ticketed for it I heard. Not debating you just curious. I got in a "debate" with a person over this in NE...

I agree, I don't know but you don't know about ours either yet you called ma a liar. If I misunderstood your post I apologize but seemed you think I exaggerated.

Not sure if you read my whole post or not but the limit was on pheasants not huns and sharptails. The spots we hunted even you could've possibly limited on them. On Wednesday we walked 16.2 miles and no limit on huns and sharpies but we did kill some of both. Sorry if my post made your hindend...

With as much public land as there is in SD I do not road hunt for this very reason. I never felt comfortable doing it and always feel like Im looking over my shoulder. Rules are grey as far as where the bird is at when the shot is fired and as long as I have a dog and healthy enough to follow...

Just got home from a four day trip. We hunt mainly around Dickenson and I'd say 95% at least of crops are out. We hunted almost all PLOTS and a little grasslands. Pheasants numbers were outstanding with limits everyday before 10am. The sharpies and huns on the other hand were a struggle for us...

Do you notice a taste/texture difference?

Interesting post! After barely making it thru last season with foot pain was feeling pretty good this summer but ended breaking a few toes in July and the foot pain started all over again. VA gave me a couple sets of inserts and it has made a world of difference.

Im curious as to the advantage? Is there a noticeable difference?

Good Stuff! I keep all the thighs but the legs with feet are frozen for dog treats. I've never aged the bird before but may try that. You left them up to four days?

Pretty normal opener for us. Got to our public spot about an hour and 1/2 early but 945 another truck pulled up 50 yards away and got ready to go😀. Not a big deal plenty of room for all. We walked about 100 yds in and turned around as was getting pretty crowded. One boy shot three by 1010...
