i used a 6x10x6 covered chain link dog kennel for my aviary. I wrapped the sides and top with chicken wire to keep other animals out and my quail in. i had it set up on a concrete patio slab and covered the end and half of each side with tarps to give the bird a way to get out of the wind and...

i dont know why, but i really like the A-5s with the rounded grips

i have been making 2-3 trips per season for the last 4 seasons. 1 or 2 in the fall, and 1 in January. in the fall, i hunt public for a few days at the beginning of the week, then catch up with a group for guided hunt on private land. on the public land, i usually carry a 1100 12 gauge or a...

Get a dog.

i see it as a way for her to get more water intake than anything else. on overnight road trips, I float the food when we get to the motel at night because she does not tend to drink much when we stop for gas. I also float the food when we get back to the motel room/airbnb after the day's hunt...

I can't recommend a place to hunt, but your post took me back a few years when I found myself on a solo trip with my Lab. On the second day of my 9-day trip, I stepped in a gopher hole and wrench my back. I decided I would take a rest day the third day of my trip to see the black hills...

Stella’s first time in a duck blind. We scratched out a limit and she retrieved every one of them.

I use windy.com to track snow depth in the areas I think about visiting.

Traveling with my lab in a kennel crate with Mud River insulated kennel in the bed of a pickup truck. (Strapped down tighter than a lid in a pickle jar) Side panels are covered and front flap is zipped 2/3 of the way down. I use an indoor/outdoor thermometer with the “outdoor” sensor inside...

I'm not able to reach the forums using safari on my phone or ipad.

Turn them inside out….

Where are you from in MS? The first pheasant hunt I ever went on was right out of college and I was invited to go to Nebraska with an old farmer from home. He’d spent the summer picking and shelling pecans and bagged them in 1-gal ziplocks to offer the folks whose doors he knocked on for...

Pickapepper Sauce. Been hard to come by in my neck of the woods since a hurricane hit their plant in Jamaica last year. I found some at County Fair and should have bought them out. We also pour a bottle over a brick of cream cheese and eat it with wheat thins for an appetizer while waiting for...
