    What is a good quail hunt?

    Just posted in the Kansas board but I had the best quail hunt of my life yesterday. We (buddy and I) moved 10 coveys in a half day hunt. Our pups were into quail non-stop for 5 hours. Man, it was fun! I'm normally a pheasant guy but I may need to start switching it up and focusing more on...

    Good quail hunt

    Normally I'm a pheasant guy, nothing like the rush of a rooster pheasant! But, yesterday I went on the best quail hunt I've ever been on, moved 10 coveys in a half day. The coveys were big and the dogs were into birds for pretty much 5 hours straight. Our shooting wasn't good and we didn't...

    Bird Flu

    I had one last weekend out by Dodge City that just didn't seem right. Walked up on it (after I killed him) and realized it was banded and released by the Dodge City visitors convention. Shot number 196 our of I believe 250. Got a chance at $500 I'm told.

    How tough are these birds?

    Had one happen two weeks ago that's never happened to me. My buddy shot a rooster and I went to pick it up and the thing started kicking his legs crazy and spurred the heck out of me. I got about a foot long deep scratch on my forearm and was bleeding pretty good. Should make a sweet scar!

    Dog not eating when on the road hunting

    Thanks guys, After years and years of shorthairs I got myself a Britt (wanted to try something different). Finn is his name and he's 11 months old, he's my first indoor bird dog as well. He's awesome, great pet at home and all business in the field. He did great in Western Kansas two weekends...

    Dog not eating when on the road hunting

    So I got myself a new pup and the little guy won't eat much when we're on the road hunting. Never had this issue before so looking for suggestions. Normally I'd give him some canned food mixed in with the dry but he's an indoor dog (my first indoor bird dog) and I don't want to upset his...

    Pheasant hunting with kids on thanksgiving

    What's the cost of going to SD? Guarantee a hunting a preserve is cheaper. Don't get me wrong, I'd rather hunt wild birds but for kids it's all about getting to pull the trigger! I teach middle school kids and kids don't pheasant hunt anymore. The reason is they are tired of walking all day...

    Pheasant hunting with kids on thanksgiving

    Take them to a game preserve, guaranteed birds. You have another trip like last year hunting wild birds and you may never get them to go again.

    Dealing with stickers

    Funny you mention it because that was the turning point on me trimming his hair. My son and I took him out a few weeks ago to hang some deer stands and it was some nasty river bottom area and Finn came home full of cockle burs! My son spent over an hour in the shower removing them and that was...

    Franchi Affinity 3 Upland Elite 20 Gauge

    Bought my son one last year and during dove season his thumb was getting torn up from loading it. He loves the gun but didn't like loading it. Took it to a gunsmith and he fixed the problem. If I remember right he shortened the mag spring and now it's not so difficult to push the shells in.

    Dealing with stickers

    I've always owned shorthairs, decided to try something different and got myself a Brittany pup (great dog so far). Been getting him ready for the upcoming season and messing with stickers in a dog's coat is something new to me. Any tips or tricks? I really wanna trim him up but convincing the...
