Had a blast in the snow yesterday with fellow UPH'er 'cowdog' & his new dog Pistol (younger yellow lab, near-twin to my old dog Chance). Was very ENCOURAGED to see that there are still pockets left in CO phez country with good number of birds (& ROOSTERS). We were in birds all day long...

Wasn't able to make the Dec SD/'Boar's Head' trip with the UPH boyz as long-planned & anticipated, but did manage to put my finger on the spot on the map of deepest freshly fallen snow nearer to home in CO & bump-n-run straight to it for a day-trip yesterday at the crack of dawn first morning...

Swore (literally, in more ways than one) that I would NEVER, EVER again swim amongst the Opening-Day orange hordes - but it's been a long time (too long), bird numbers & habitat/cover are on the upswing from the pathetic/pitiful last couple years around my neck of the woods, and I've got the...

Howdy Gents, LONG-TIME, no see or hear! Missed all y'all UPH boyz...With my continued bad-luck run over the last several years, not much time leftover lately for bird hunting, much less hanging out this dang-good forum nearly as much as I would like to. Just lost my best lifetime hunting buddy...

Hey-Hey-Hey, let's hear it for a little timely moisture on the eastern CO Rooster Fields! This wknd's snowstorm will be the 2nd significant shot in a couple of weeks. Here's Hoping for an about-face pour-it-on return to better years & a much better 2013 hatch than last yr's killer drought...

If any reputable Labrador kennel or owner with a female out there is interested in adding some different bloodlines with multi-generations of excellent confirmation, temperament & hunting titles into your breeding for the simple price of male pick of the litter - I am looking for a bitch to...

Sorry I've been AWOL for awhile dudes. Having been out of the country more than in on extensive international humanitarian/church-missions travel ever since Labor Day of 2012, I did not get to hunt at all this yr up until the next to last day of the season. Managed to get out today with StEvgn...

Anybody got any experience with this??? Is the surgery & recovery worth the effort with a 6 yr old dog in his bird-hunter prime??? Vet says it is not self-healing & he will never hunt again w/o surgery (will be nearly a yr from now even with it), & he will most likely develop the slow/crippling...

Sorry Dudes, I kinda went totally AWOL on UPH for awhile. Dec & Jan were not kind at all to the pheasant hunter in me. After all the circus of my son's cancer & elderly caretaking & death of my wife's parents over the last couple yrs, I spent from Christmas/NY's "holidays" up to now dealing with...

Anybody have any experience or knowledge on this??? My lab has just lately started exhibiting this bizarre behavior occasionally a couple times at 6 yrs old (I had never before now seen this in any dog). He is currently having a long, crazy episode that started up almost all of last night & is...
