TennesseeTraveler, just a biologist’s pet peeve…singular = “Canada goose”, plural = “Canada geese”. ‘Canadian’ goose is not correct…again, just a pet peeve and point of education, not criticism.

Check out High Plains Gear vest. I really like mine and it is light, comfortable, looks and feels durable. Developed by a bird hunter, American made, and molle system. I put two water bottle holders on mine and a small 8” x 5” molle pouch on the back of the game bag which holds my keys...

Hunted out east last Sunday - on snowshoes. No luck but flushed two hens…

I’m going to try these last two weekends, but it’s been a tough and frustrating season in Colorado for me. I have also hunted SW Nebraska several times as well with good success on sharptails but not much at all for pheasants. Still, it’s fun to go out and watch my dog work!!

Nice job for a young dog - very nice to see!!

You’re welcome! The closer you get to Kansas/Nebraska the better things are generally - and in most years. Good luck and have fun!

Sounds like two immature (this year’s hatch) roosters hanging out with a mature rooster. I always marvel at the colors on a mature rooster pheasant!

OriginalOscar, Colorado pheasant hunting can vary dramatically from year to year depending on weather/moisture. So far so good this year over most of the pheasant range. If you look at drought maps eastern Colorado is in fairly good shape this year, which means there was moisture for nesting...

"Think it might..." Not 'This no...'

I have a Labrador, she will be 10 in June. She had one removed in May 2019. Common for them to come back; hers did and had it removed again (same spot) almost a year to the day in May 2020. This no it might be coming back again. Anyone else dealt with this issue? Good thing is they do not...

Beretta A300 Outlander is a great autoloader for the money. Walnut, synthetic, camo synthetic. After 40+ years of shooting shotguns with the safety in the back of the trigger guard of on the tang, it didn't take long at all to get used to the safety in front of the trigger guard. But it is a bit...

I have used Phycox for my last three Labradors with very good success. The first Lab I used it on was having diarrhea issues with rimadyl; She was about 9-1/2 at the time and that wasn't going to work. So I heard about Phycox and tried it. It took about 3 maybe 4 weeks before I saw results, but...

I have a brand new Browning Dirty Bird jacket in max4 with the tags still on - never worn, wrong size for me. It's an XL, and am asking $200 for it. I also have Columbia wool Monarch Pass jacket and bibs. I wore them a couple times and they are in great shape. New they are about $250 for the...

After my accident where I tragically lost one of my labs (see the main forum for the ice warning), I am concerned that my 1-1/2 year old is a little lonesome. The reason I got her was because Abbey was an EIC dog and I knew I would not be able to hunt her very much. Now that Abbey is gone, I...
