With a heavy heart and tear filled eyes my family and I said good bye to our beloved shorthair Orley last night. From what we thought was her mopping around because of the new puppy we brought home on Friday turned out to be a tumor on her spleen that burst late yesterday filling her belly with...

I took a drive out east with my cousin on Saturday to have a look around and was met with green tall grass and wheat that was ready to be harvested. We drove around several WIA's from last year to see how they were doing and what crops were being grown around them. The wheat was tall and ready...

I think this is the year I add another GSP to our family since Orley is 10 this year and would be great to have help me train the new pup. Does anyone know of any GSP litters now or coming this year? I have been talking to a breeder out in Nevada how will have pups available in August just not...

Here it is the final weekend of the season, boy that came fast. Just seemed that I was talking to my cousin about what time to meet him in Limon to ensure we get to the first WIA of opening day before others and just a few days ago we were confirming our time to meet for the final day. We...

Week 11 finds my cousin, myself and our three pups making the early morning drive out east greeted by a beautiful orange/red sunrise. It was going to be a hot one so we wanted to get it done early so with a 5 gallon jug of water we stopped at the first WIA. Before we knew it and without even one...

Yea I know this is a bird hunting site but was wondering if anyone has gone on an African safari lately? The wife and I are thinking of going over for our 25th anniversary and for me to do a little hunting while we are there. We have spent the past two shows talking to outfitters that we have...

I knew that with the incredible season we have been having it had to come to an end at some point and that it did. Saturday morning found my cousin and myself walking the first WIA not putting anything up or even getting the pups birdy. The next WIA was better (kind of) we pushed north towards...

Week 9 already, where is this season going? Saturday morning finds us starting at our usual WIA with cloud cover and a slight breeze with 16 degree temps. With excited dogs covering the still good cover we only pushed one hen out of her hiding spot. We headed to the next WIA where about...

Saturday morning came early with my cousin and myself and our three pups making are trip out east for another fun filled day of chasing Colorado pheasants. If it ain't broke don't fix it so we started out in our usual first WIA where we put up one rooster to my left which I let live with a...

Week 7 is already here and only 5 more weekends to go chase Colorado pheasants, time sure flies when your having fun. We knew it was going to be cold and windy on Saturday but we headed out of Denver early knowing the roads will probably be slippery and that they were out to about Limon, from...

I've been thinking about not posting these stories thinking that it may sound as if I am bragging about the birds we are getting so if you have comments please reply so I know if I should continue or not, thank you. Here it is Wednesday already and I'm getting ready to go back out this...

Saturday finds myself and my cousin sitting at a WIA waiting for legal hunting time to come watching the orange glow across the prairie. With start time upon us we release the hounds and head out into the field. After a nice point on a hen we put up three roosters in front of my cousin and one...

If I was to title this weeks blog it would have to be "Keeping the Ammo Manufactures in Business" Started out in a WIA to warm up our legs from the drive and that's just what we did, just walked. Back to the truck and on to the private property we have permission to hunt. As I put the truck in...
