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.

I am a little biased because I raise Goldens and I hunt with mine. I think the Goldens I produce make fine hunting dogs. But it all comes down to preference and what you are looking for in a hunting companion. I hunt with my dogs but 9 months out of the year they are a pet and mine live in the...

I can't believe we have a picture of the famous goosemaster! He does exist.

Hey guys, I have a few guys on the forum that have pups from me. Everybody seems to love what we produce. I have two litters on the ground right now and I still have two females that do not have deposits on them. They will be ready to go to their new homes on the fourth of July weekend. If you...

All right guys, I take offense to the label that Labs are better than Golden's. I will stack mine up to any lab on this forum. Ask the guys who have my dogs or who have hunted with me. But that brings us back to the question of what is the best breed of hunting dog, and that is for another...
