Planning a trip to Hunt Jan 20-24. 2-3 days on Private land with a fee of $150 per gun/day. Hunted here the last couple years. Great land owner. Near the town of Seneca. Usually stay in Faulkton. Also hunt a couple days on private land near Blunt. Will need to relocate for...
I hunted three days by myself with my lab. Started in the Lincoln area and around Osborne. All walk in. Saw zero birds. Not even a hen. Moved west and started in Plainville. Not much better. Saw a few hens and 1 rooster. On that day ended up and stayed in Wakeeney. Met a couple hunters...
I have space for some additional hunters on private land north west of Faulkton. This is a paid hunt. This is not a commercial hunting operation but is managed to a degree for the groups that do have permission. In early Dec our group of 10 harvested 105 birds. Only three groups have...
Headed to SD in two weeks and it has been plenty wet this year. Last report was secondary roads are pretty much impassable. I don't have a winch. Am looking for recommendation and reviews on good traction mats?
If your dog has been treated for this I would like to hear about treatment. In particular using PPA. If you have been through this you will know the details so brevity I will not reiterate them here.
Thanks for. Any help!
My 10 month old has strained tendons in her wrist. Typical of the sporting dog she only has one gear and I cannot keep her drive down enough to give her time to heal. A long walk on a lead or long swims is just not enough exercise to keep her from driving us nuts during the day. I am looking...
My 8 month old lab has really bad car sickness. Starts drooling immediately and then eventually spits up. This is my third lab and never an issue with the first two. I have always had them in the back seat area of my pickup. We have only made short trips here and there and now I am reluctant...
I have managed to put together a decent group of 7 guys and two dogs. I am returning to Kansas after a 5 year hiatus. We will hunt Thur, Fri and Sat. this week. I actually got started about 25 years ago in Goodland and the surrounding area. The last five years has been mostly South Dakota...
So I am considering this breed as my next upland dog. I am a die hard lab guy but this breed has peaked my interest and that too of my wife. Because of the latter I am entertaining this breed. I am looking for honest feedback. It would be most helpful for a WPG owner who has lab experience...
Looking for any information or history on this breeder. I am in the market for a new puppy and they popped up in my research. Any input is appreciated.
Have read all the doom and gloom about the drought and bird numbers. That's not going to keep us from our annual SD hunting. We currently have a group of 5-6 scheduled for the above dates. Our ideal group is about 8-10. We will hunt mostly private land in and around Blunt and Gettysburg. We...
I have a nine year old lab. About 4 weeks from our annual trip to SD. We will hunt 5 days in a row. She stays in what I consider very good shape year round but we only get about 15-20 days in this field each pheasant season. I have noticed her getting a little ginger in her movements which I...
I am heading back to SD the subject week. Hunted early Nov with a regular group. Most can't make the return trip. Myself and 1 other so far will be making the trip back. We have access to private land around Blunt and in Gettysburg. There is enough to give fresh hunting for 2 solid days. We...
