I'd like to get a nice Merriam one day, they're pretty cool looking. I wish I'd have done the slam when I was younger, but probably didn't have the funds. Now time is the issue until retirement one day.

I'm a huge fan of fire, I used to burn everything we could for years. I had a cedar go up a few years back and embers jumped our backburn line and caught a neighboring piece on fire. Luckily no structural damage just a hay field and some rough pasture but that was one of the sickest feeling I've...

I tend to agree, I've owned several and have spent quite a bit on a couple and hardly anything on others and they're all different. The best dog I ever had I paid $100 for. I think this breed may be the easiest breed to find diamonds in the rough because they can't help but hunt, you just...

I had never really heard of it until my last puppy purchase. I had bought dogs from friends or private individuals my whole life then decided to buy my last English pointers from a kennel/trainer. One of the 2 had it we came to find out after the diarrhea started and she wouldn't gain weight...

Stay where you have been, the Webster area is not a hot spot but seems to be with hunters the last couples years. We have family there is the only reason we spend time in that area.

Scouting this morning and heard 4 or 5 gobbles in various directions. Sitting in the truck now watching 5 hens and 2 toms in a field that used to have too many to count at this time in the morning. Kinda hard to get pumped up about throwing lead at them at this point.

I love turkey hunting but I'd trade turkeys for those in our area 11 times outta 10

They'll get beat up like that from fighting too.

I have one on a Belgium 16 guage A5 and blew the original of shooting clays off a pond dike, never could find it. This would have been around 2000 and it took me months of calling and driving trying to find one before locating a different style but still fit, nowadays could find one in 10...

I ran into a supervisor from KDWP at a sportshow maybe a year before covid. Turkeys in our area had already tanked along with many other areas I noted. I brought this up at the end of his presentation and he talked to me like I was an idiot who must not get out much because "the turkey...

I agree with your old man, if I've got tired, smiling dogs at the end of the day and birds in the truck because of them, I don't care if I've even pulled a trigger.

Back when we had a lot of birds and ground to hunt I looked at it differently. We were confident everyone would get their shots and birds throughout the day. Now days of lower birds and fighting for spots if we have the chance to put some on the tailgate I don't care who gets them, just get them.

Shed hunting pisses me off something terrible. We live in an area with deer like fleas and our properties are no exception maybe denser populations than most even. And yet we find very few sheds and even fewer when we're actually looking. Now I know not every buck beds on me but throughout a...

The main concern for me was the aftercare and healing process without rerupturing. Both surgeons, both highly recommended, said this was always a concern especially with high motor breeds. When asked what the chances of the dog returning to full duty we'd get "probablies" and "most likely"...

I never thought this dog would be as sound as she looks today. Makes a guy feel like she could be worked back in to the rotation for fall. To me the dog looks healed and stays sound even after 30-45 minutes of free running and some of that is at Mach 10.
