Not a slough within 500 miles of me but yesterday with seven days left in the season at 330 pm my dog went on point, a staggered covey flush of blues came up and I shot a triple. My dad’s dog retrieved one from his side and mine picked up a second and ran a stood over the third. I calmly...

Years ago my 3 month weim and I went to the lake to burn energy and swim. I chunked the bumper out first throw and about half way back he flushed some turkeys I didn’t see around the corner and the chase was on. At first I didn’t worry too much, 3 hours later I was in a panic. He ran up a cut...

I just know the handful of really special dogs I’ve been around were males except one. I’m talking cream of the crop 1% dogs. That’s what I’m shooting for.

Ive been up there three times over the years, and a little east. Had a few good combo pheasant/quail days. Cool country, lots of porkys and birds on the Arkansas river

I don’t have the formula but warm days stacked together dont help, look more at the nighttime lows.. that warm feeling on the back of your neck from the sun is what they seek. This year has been warm down here, if I waited on optimal weather it would be 10 days in the field instead of 30. Is...

It was inevitable, too many warm days down here this winter… I’d rather find them on the road than in the field!

Jim the kuiu bird pack need serious consideration, it’s made for large birds, some water storage, simple design. Price point is reasonable compared to some of the other high end packs. My dad and brother run one, both are happy so far.

One day event, warm ground so better hurry!

Grasslands getting a good snow today.. makes those blues a lot easier to follow!

If you are just using one collar with the 550 link it to one of the other collar settings and compare.. that sounds like a calibration issue. A new link may fix it
