It's rough out there. I've never walked so far on ideal private land only to see a single hen, and one rooster flushing at 100 yards out. My dogs are finding birds, but nothing like prior seasons. Last season the cover sucked, but we found some birds when the snow hit. I am not confident that we...

We hunted some new private land in Western, Nebraska as well as some of our favorite hot spots in Colorado. I walked over 25 miles over 3 days. We didn't put up a single bird in some exquisite land in Nebraska. The dogs and I found 6 roosters during the trip (all in Colorado). We shot 3 birds...

Opening day was interesting. The area where I do a lot of my hunting experienced really bad hail in both July and August. Many houses, equipment and fields were negatively impacted. I hunted all private land. The cover was really thick and crispy. The temperatures neared 70 degrees by 11 am...

I am not sure? My wife took Echo to the vet. I will read the diagnosis and get back to you.

I agree and thank you.

Don't know, but I will try it. I will also try laser.

I am a fan of holistic medicine. Might try the acupuncture treatment. Thank you.

Will give that a shot on walks. Thank you.

I was surprised with the lack of options. I would think that they could clean the paw with surgery.

Hello all, Echo (7) was just diagnosed with bone spurs in her right front paw. She has and continues to walk with an occasional, but noticable limp. We have her on a low dose, anti-inflammatory. The vet said that there is nothing more we can do. I say BS to that. Has anyone else experienced...

Hey Jim, I will give that a try. As I told Matt, I am not mounting the shotgun well. Time to get to work. I also need to practice on clays. Practice earns confidence. Confidence generally creates success. Let me know when you head east next season. I would like to meet up. My dogs are...

H Hi Matt, Thank you for watching and providing me advice. I think that you are spot on. A poor mount absolutely lead to multiple misses this season. I almost dropped my shotgun in one instance. I think that I will ask a pro for some help this off-season. I don't like how I hunted this year. I...

You're right. I didn't practice before the season and my shooting sucked. This was a difficult year to get on birds. The drought negatively impacted so many areas. I have to be better.

Thanks for watching, Chessie. To be clear, I was gassed multiple times during the day. I even got my truck stuck in a snow bank, and I needed a farmer to yank me out. I thought that I was in good shape for an old guy. Perhaps I am not. My shooting has to get better. I must capitalize on my...
