I bought a case towards the end of season last year for this very reason. I didn’t need them but bought them anyway cause it was convenient timing and knew I’d need them anyway at some point this upcoming season. I’m glad I did.

I agree about off season conditioning- I keep my dogs conditioned all year long. I don’t agree with running/exposing them to wild birds this time of year. Especially when they are sitting on eggs or have little ones.

This is an old post GSP83. No doubt last few yrs have been a wash (private land or not) especially in w.Tx and rolling plains. S.Tx has fared alot better. I'm excited so far this spring , water , cover, and insects are all on par. Unfortunately, our numbers are way down and are probably going...

I'm sorry for your family's loss! I've lost a few over the years, they were all special! When the pain settles down and you reflect on your journey with him -you'll be so glad he was there with your family! You learn more from your first bird dog than you probably taught him! I know I did. What...

Boy that single rooster has a whole harem of hens! Life is good!!;)🤣 Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Theres alot of "layers" to this topic-I think that experience helps tremendously in making the right decision. I generally start slow under most conditions but definitely have times where I move fast to flank , cut-off, or flat out bum-rush narrow pinch points etc. super thick and tall rows...

I will second sorghum if I could only pick one. One of the biggest deer I ever arrowed was a sorghum regular. I've witnessed deer picking the "tops" off with regularity. Sorghum is a crop that is "messy"-it gets everywhere which in turn lasts alot longer and is definitely more...

I got my fingers crossed....tuning in!

off season blues! Ruby aka Roobles - September ND Lilly- end of season ks.

I actually like hunting windy conditions especially partnered with cold air- I feel i can get into more birds and get more shot opportunities. The birds don’t want to be standing in it, therefore I can better predict where they are more concentrated. They will prefer a wind break or a very thick...

I have an older Subaru Forester (2004)I bought used years ago as a commuter car when I was working downtown(60 miles round trip). I’d leave my 3/4 ton diesel in the driveway. To my surprise, this little car is one of the best vehicles I’ve ever owned. Super reliable, great fuel economy, and the...

I always like hunting bigger fields with higher or thicker grass especially late season. I would normally run 2 or 3 dogs as I feel I need more nose power and legs on the ground. This year during late season that worked against me more than it did for me. Pressured roosters already on high alert...

I camp from summer to late season winter. I fly fish in mountains the summer months. I hunt big game out west and bird hunt the midwest in fall to late winter. Over the years , I've gone with tents to RV's to getting a room(if its a short trip that doesn't have time restraints getting out in...

thanks for sharing! those were awesome!

Your cameras have a sensitivity adjustment in the settings/ menu. If you are not getting any pictures-You’ll have better luck if you bump up the sensitivity. If you are getting a ton of pictures with no game, your camera is triggered when bushes/ plants sway in the wind-you need to de-...

In most cases I leave the innards in them and hang them in my garage refrigerator for up to a week. They definitely become more tender and flavorful with age. I gut my quail immediately after shooting them then bag them for a few days before plucking or skinning.

Great write up! I saw a lot of clearing on my midweek trip- it was all I could think about on my long ride home. The face of rural Kansas has changed so much since the first time I walked it with a shotgun and a bird dog in the early nineties. i was very pleased with the outcome of my last...

GL Lointer! I was supposed to head out yesterday morning for a last hoor-rah run but those big snowstorms with mixed in ice made me think twice about the commute! Lol. I'll be heading out tommorrow morning with my german girls! (gsp's) Ky setter man-my brother did slam the door on a targeted...

You win some. Lose some. Shake it off and get back after them... you still have a little time! This big storm coming might produce some opportunities for you to “get even”.

I encountered an uncapped well on an old farmstead this season. I sort of recognized what may be in front of me so I eased up cautiously - sure enough it was a deep and dark old well. About that time, my younger speed demon shorthair blew past me... I thought to myself, “I almost lost her”. Be...
