    I hate barbwire

    Our club does a bird hunt every year at a local preserve and I bought some Chukars for my Vizsla on Saturday to get him some bird work.. It didn't take him long to find our birds and he had a good day but on the way back to the truck he went through a fence and came back and evidently caught a...

    Chainsaws...sort of.

    I have a few different hand saws I use for small trees or limbs that work well enough but I can see where an electric saw would be nice to have. Where I hunt in Colorado has small Aspen and just about any saw or axe will work to clear a trail. Where I've bear hunted in NW Montana had some pretty...

    Chainsaws...sort of.

    McCulloch made a really good saw back in the day and have become a collectable chainsaw. Their Pro Mac 10-10 is popular on eBay. Their large 125 saw was big with professional timber fallers.

    Some guys love the old Poulan's. Some were made in Canada and had a magnesium crankcase. Newer ones are mostly plastic for the lower end market and I probably wouldn't put money into one.

    Chainsaws...sort of.

    This time of year gets boring for me, so I start going through my stuff, cleaning and organizing equipment. Some of it, I often carry but don't always use and I always end up looking at the new stuff out there and comparing to what I have. I don't carry a saw for most of my pheasant hunting but...

    Any dangerous natural features you encounter while hunting?

    I don't hunt on ice and I don't want my dogs on it either. Not worth the risk to me so I just hunt the edges.

    What’s everyone feeding?

    I've been known to throw some into a tortilla for myself with a little hot sauce but the dogs look at me like I'm stealing.

    What’s everyone feeding?

    I used to buy canned dog food for a food topper but when the price got to a certain point, I started to make my own. One of the easiest food toppers to make is this 27% fat hamburger from Walmart. 5 lbs of protein and high fat content for under $20. A lot more nutritional value than canned food...

    What’s everyone feeding?

    There are a lot of good quality dog food available but when I was looking to replace PPP, there are some brands I didn't try, simply because I can't get it easily. I live in a rural part of NW Arkansas and I can't have food delivered to my house, so I have to have a dog food I can buy locally...

    What’s everyone feeding?

    I know a trainer and guide who breeds GSP's, feeds the Valupak and really likes it. I think she pays $43 for a large bag. She recommends it fwiw.

    What’s everyone feeding?

    Nutrisource Performance or Nutrisource Lamb & Rice. I make my own high fat food topper.

    Any dangerous natural features you encounter while hunting?

    Thanks. That basement was full of an unbelievable amount of old rusted metal. He could have been severely injured. The people I was hunting with were closer to it and saw it but didn't say anything. I would called him in and got him away from it, had I known. Once I figured out that he was ok, I...

    Any dangerous natural features you encounter while hunting?

    Just random holes and My Vizsla fell into an old homestead basement full of rusted farm equipment and old car parts last season. I didn't know it was there. I saw him running and try to stop and then he disappeared. I got lucky. He fell into a corner that was somewhat clear and didn't get hurt...

    new upland vest

    FWIW...I saw this vest online and it seems to be an old school version of a strap vest. I think it's made of waxed canvas. https://duckcamp.com/products/canvas-upland-strap-vest-blaze-wheat
