That third shot was a long shot! Great shot Brent

He is a good looking dog! I tell everyone that while they are hunting machines, 9 months out of the year they are pets so you gotta like them and include them in your lives.

Hey guys, I know a few of you on the site have some of my dogs and I have hunted with a few others. I just had a litter of 10 puppies last Monday. They are all doing really well and we still have 4 that are available right now. These guys will be ready to go to their new homes the first week of...

BB sorry to hear about your mom. I have found the best healing is to spend time telling stories or hearing people tell stories of my lost loved ones.

I gotta get back out there Bobby! I miss your smiling face.

Lots of stuff on here about falling through the ice. I have one of those stories as well. Makes me want to avoid those cattails and water.

Thanks for the good report! We try to produce a dog that will perform in the field and yet be a pet for 9 months out of the year. Tell hiim to send me pictures and updates of how his pup is doing.

I took out the O/U 16 this weekend to shoot a different gun. Muscle memory and where the safety is on that gun versus my Franchi messed me up. I don't know how many shots I didn't take because I was looking for the safety in the wrong place. I will be using the Franchi this weekend.

BB is one of the most knowledgable guys on this forum for out of state hunters. His advise is great for you. Be kind to people and you will find good people in SD. A5 hunts all public land and shooys lots of birds! Bobby Lowe from bird dog bunk house stays the month of November and shoots limits...

Bob, as the old saying goes, follow the dog. Which state do they want to hunt in? I think you should ask them. Have a great time.

Zeb, I always enjoyed your posts, stories, and advise. Just remember the line from a country song "It doesn't end in a slow ride in a hearse." Now you need to prepare for what happens next. I wish I could have gotten a day to hunt with you somewhere along the way.

I agree with your reasoning. I once did a three state hunt in one day. Before I started I asked a game warden what I should do to make sure and be legal if I had more that one day limit in any state. He was never confronted with that question before but said as long as I had licenses in each...

So I have a buddy I live vicariously through every pheasant season. He lives in the heart of some great hunting. I am going to brag about him because he is a phenomenal bird hunter and lives for this time of the year. He works a full time job but saves a lot of his vacation for the fall when he...

Two classic quotes for me for life are: 1. You always pay for your education and 2. When the mind is weak the body suffers.

Sorry man, that is a tough way to find your dog when you come home! Remember the good times and tell the stories of her hunting abilities to anyone who will listen. That will help ease the pain.
