Sometimes it's not about shooting! It's about spending time with family; if family is just a dog, make sure the dog is a good one. I love being outdoors, seeing wildlife, looking over habitat and having a pheasant pushed out by the dog (even a hen is satisfying) where you think the bird could...

COs have more authority than other law enforcement while protecting our precious hunting and fishing resources... I have been checked on open water more than 10 times for license, fish count, life jacket count. What's the problem with showing your paperwork? I have been checked on hard water...

Open the truck door, follow the dog... best option.

"People sure do like bitching about EVs but yet virtually every ice angler here has switched to a battery powered auger. Oh, the irony." (gimruis) Not every ice angler! I love my 10-inch gas auger, especially when we have to stand on the truck tailgate to drill down on Lake of the Woods in...

Needle nose pliers, zip ties and a leash. All other things in the truck. Good luck taking care of a gunshot wound or a MVA without a Helicopter, Ambulance, Er, OR... even with those things often death occurs.

The second week and weekend are usually better than opener... that being said, I've had "interactions" with deer-hunters late morning (11 am and later) which were extremely uncomfortable in southwestern Minnesota while pheasant hunting. People forget that public lands are, well public...

I carry bear spray with my loaded 20 gauge... there are times when the dog decides to tangle with wildlife not on the menu (I still shudder hearing/seeing the dog/raccoon animal ball tumbling around in the cattails in front of me, can't really shoot at that and be effective). Bear spray also...

My head shaker: Stubborn springer, flooded cattails, borrowing my husband's new 12-gauge shotgun and pheasant forever vest... I should have known from the excited bark that we were not on bird. Obie was down-to-folic (DTF) with feather/fur/whatever; the growling and cattail tips frantically...

Definitely, try a dog chiropractor. CBD also helps. Tramadol breaks down like morphine for dogs... my boy had Spondylosis deformans with severe weakness to his legs with pain. We started with carprofen, gabapentin, and then ended with tramadol. The chiropractor used electric stimulation and...

Benelli Montefeltro 20-gauge youth model. Love, love, love. Steel shot 3-inch shells #4s before the snow, #2s after it snows. Works great in grouse cover too. Snappy up to the shoulder.

Cabela's brush pant for women; order on-line as not stocked in store.

One day too early is better than one day too late. I feel for you as we just completed this process for my heart dog Obie on Halloween (not for liver ca). I have dealt with human liver cancer as an ICU nurse, it's not an easy end. Thank goodness our pets have more humane options than humans...

Obie will drink out of a clean poop bag. Saves on weight so I can hopefully carry the two roosters he flushes for me if my shooting is straight lol.

A hot shower is manageable with or without a camper or campground: A sunshower placed in the sun while afield is often warmer than a campground shower. A step stool, rope, or even putting it on the topper of my truck… but I loved the last setup we came up with in the Big Horns which allowed...

We are using Pet Releaf CBD oil for our springer since March of this year. Obie is 10, fell badly on the ice X 2 this winter and splayed out his lower back. The first two days, he was sleepy (I am unsure if he was dealing with increased pain or effects of the oil); now he is energetic and...
