My first hunting lab has reached the age where he is slowing down considerably. I acquired him from a DU acution and through sheer luck, determination and daily training sessions down by the river bottom close to home, he turned into a damn fine retriever. Now I need to start bringing along a...

Love my black lab but he just turned 11 and is beginning to show signs of slowing. I am leaning towards a pointing lab but my wife hates the dog hair in the house and I hate the idea of my hunting buddy living in a pen. Does anyone know any first hand knowledge on reliable breeders of hunting...

im sure that we all have one of " those" days, mine was Wednesday morning. dang, how many times do I have to relearn this lesson? Went out with my 12 year old lab and started getting into birds, 7 in a row flushed and missed and one butt shot and kept going. The first 3 or 4 i laughed off, then...

was heading up to Presho for Thanksgiving holiday but everyone in my group (5 others) bagged out on me. has anyone been hunting around there this year, I'm trying to figure out if the 12 hour drive by myself would be worth it? Long way to go without someone to share the driving with but I do so...

Learned a wealth of great news this week. #1 is that of the 6 young people that I have had the pleasure to help mentor in their development into young adults over the past decade (through bird hunting of course) 4 are still wildly involved in the sport. two of these kiddos came hunting with me...

Ok all, I find that my cooking skills are measurably worse than my shooting skills (which can be improved upon considerably). I've been fixing my game the same way for years and there is something about searching for recipes on the Internet that just does not work out for me. Idealy, I would...

Took my nephew out the two days after Christmas last week on his first pheasant hunt on WIA's and a buddies family farm out in eastern CO. Nephew lives on the Western slope but makes it out for a couple of weekends of Duck hunting each year, however the only pheasant experience he has had is...

Good luck this weekend to all. buddy with northeast CO farm says lots of birds around but all his and most of his neighbors corn still up. Heading up there when he gives the go ahead. Hitting north west and a little bit central Kansas this weekend, drought hit em' hard but still a fair number of...

I usually spend 10-12 days a year in southwest ks around Lakin, however this year looks like a bust down that'a way. hence I wrangled a trip with an old friend to his families haunts around Penokee / Hill City. It's been about 20 years since Ive been up there, anyone have any idea about what to...

Howdy all; I'm going to be hunting Kansas for three days next weekend and then will swing through North Eastern Colorado to hunt on my buddies farm Monday / Tuesday. I know that our position limit is 6 birds, however how do the birds I'm going to be bringing (hopefully :D) from Kansas fit into...

Heading out to SW Kansas Fri- Sunday (full of turkey) with just myself and my lab if anyone is interested in joining up to walk a few fields. Coming from southern Colorado (San Luis Valley).

2 of us and my 9 year old lab hit the public fields a bit south of Tribune over the weekend. Did really well, limited both days although finished up the limit on Sunday only because we didn't miss many. 16 birds and on the road by 2 O'clock, can remember many years when two days of limits just...

Just wondering if anyone knows any info about or have hunted either Hamilton / Stanton or Greeley Counties. In past trips, I have hunted Kearney / Grant counties to the east. I'm not looking for any particular "spots" just a general idea of the lay of the land, type of Agriculture etc. Noticed...

Hi all; A buddy of mine and I are heading east out of Colorados San Luis Valley in order to hunt SW Kansas for the pheasant / quail opener. I haven’t been back to the area since '05 (been spending my road trip funds the last 4 years in South Dakota) and would like to get back to the 4-5 hour...
