That really sucks. I have a cousin that lost a good dog in a similar fashion.

That sounds like a good place to check-out. With all the rain we had this year, Kiowa Marsh, just might live up to its name.

McFarmer, if you need a change of scenery for a morning, you are also welcome to come down.

Welcome to the forum. I was just in Storm Lake for work friday. When Headin West says "ditches" he is not referring to "road ditches", think "waterways". If things are not working up in Buena Vista County, I am a short hour drive and from you. We can get you on birds, so you will know what...

That makes it sound like no price rallies will coming any time soon for beans...corn, with the surplus and big crop coming is in a similar situation, just different reasons. Tough situation for the ag sector.

Any high temp

Welcome to the site. Head west for several hours.

Gim, I have a picture in my head of you....in moccasins with a tennis racket in lush green shin height grass, pheasant hunting silently. If you make your way south, look me up and we can talk and shoot some pheasants...at the same time.

" Think about the dog busting thru cover, you walk thru the cover, gun shots, heck you might even talk to the dog or hit the locate button for the collar. " OK, now I hope you are just pulling our chain now Gim. If that is true, your style is not working. Your need a couple gun shots or you...

IT DOESN'T SEEM MATTER. Think about the dog busting thru cover, you walk thru the cover, gun shots, heck you might even talk to the dog or hit the locate button for the collar. I think way too much is made of this. Heck, I have had guys with whistles and are blowing those things every 30...

When I hunt in a larger group, heck, even 2, if I can tell it is a rooster (and I am not in a position to shoot at it) I am calling it out, but I do hens also. I usually hunt right at 8:00 and at times during the season, the sun is low for the first part of the hunt, I call them as someone else...

Shoot, all my territory is in the "fair" zone. Looks like I shouldn't be expecting limits before noon now. Oh well. "Pockets" as water dog says.

Gim, if cackles it is a rooster. If someone who is authorized to check you checks, I will say they can tell the hens from roosters in their hands. Maybe someone here has an idea when the young roosters gain the ability to produce a cackle.

Yes it did. I think we mowed once the second year. Year 3 it was awesome. Other than patches of Canadian thistles and brome invading, it is what we planted.

I think we had ours mowed 3 times that first year. Maybe at heights of 6" then 8-10" and and about a foot tall the last time. I do remember that the marestail stocks/stems were about a hazard to the dogs belly that season....they "pinked" him up pretty good.
