    One week until the best time of year

    Good luck to everyone. I wish it was a little colder, but the mornings should still be nice. Afternoons might be rough.

    WTB Pigeons near mhk

    I still need pigeons. Seriously, any pigeons will do... If you have a couple, or can pass along a name, anything. Thanks Kansas.

    Thoughts on this November

    Seems like there has never been a better time to truck camp. And it is always a good year to camp.

    Dog Assessment Time

    That's a good practice. One of my dogs is very trim and it is easy to keep the weight off her because she will swim all day if we let her. The other one is a bit of a challenge... She is pretty sneaky about counter surfing for anything on the kitchen counter, and there is just no stopping her...

    Tent Camping in November

    I'm planning a 4-day, 3-night trip around KS pheasant country. Looking for an adventure more than just a hunting trip, so I've decided to tent camp. I'm planning to hunt during the day and then set up camp at night. If I hit a really great spot, maybe I'll stay 2 nights, otherwise just work...

    A/T Tires

    Looks like I will need new tires on my 4runner this Winter. I hunt usually 4 days a week from October-February. The afternoon trips are usually only 30ish miles one way, but I will also burn a couple days of vacation each month and rack up miles bouncing all over the state. I'm looking for...

    French Brittany

    I am about to put down my deposit on my first French Britt. The pups are due in about a month, and obviously we are very excited! I have two friends with dogs from a previous breeding between the sire and a sister of the dam, so I have a pretty good idea of the quality of hunter I'll be...

    Looking for leads on a pup this Spring

    Looking for leads on a pup this Spring. March at the earliest. I'm not totally decided on what breed, but it needs to be pointy. My top 3 breeds are currently French Brittany, German Wirehair, and Pointing Lab. I lost Daisy (my avatar dog) to Cancer a few weeks ago. Daisy's range was...

    Mushrooms

    Anybody finding any morels out there? I'm planning a walkabout on Friday, just wondering if anybody is having success right now. I would think we've had enough warmth and moisture, but I am terrible at guessing when they will pop. :laugh:

    Starting a dog on rabbits

    Hear me out... :laugh: I want to start my older dogs on rabbits. Britt and GWP. At this point, they pretty much ignore rabbits, especially cottontails. They might chase for 2 steps if they bump one, but then go right back to bird hunting with no scolding or input from me at all. Daisy...

    Gunless (mostly) season

    Just received my falconry license from KDWPT today, so my focus this season will be on putting my hawk in a position to catch game. I'll be flying a red tail hawk (hopefully) by November, and looking for rabbits. If you know of any bunny spots you would be willing to share, or landowners with...

    WTB bottom ejecting 20ga pump

    Wanting to purchase a 20 gauge pump that ejects shells out the bottom. A Browning BPS, or an Ithaca 37, or other similar model. Youth/female size stock would be ideal, or at least needs to have a stock that can be modified to fit a youngster. Please PM or post here. Thanks.

    Pig wanted

    Can anybody recommend a guide that offers pig hunts. I like to eat pork, and I think a pig hunt would be something fun and different to do. I'm not looking for a luxury lodge. I enjoy an adventure and getting my boots dirty. I was thinking Oklahoma if possible... Somewhere I can get the...
