Thanks Captain Obvious

I returned from a few days in SD . It was a spur of the moment deal with my oldest son. I broke a toe about 8 weeks ago and he wanted to get back into hunting after an 8 year hiatus getting a masters degree and starting a career/ family. I was finally feeling a bit better and thought I would...

A group from work was out hunting family ground out by Goodland. 7 guys with four dogs shot 4 birds hunting most of the day. Said they saw maybe 20 total.

Some years ago I was up by Aberdeen in December. We were on 14 heading south. It was getting late in the day on a Sunday. We were already limited and done hunting. We passed slowly by a tree belt and were marveling at all the birds on the road and in the ditch. We were rolling slowly and...

Good luck to you. I lost my dad at 18 but he instilled in me a passion for hunting and fishing that I still have today. Every year I think of him and the things he taught me when I was young, funny I have used it many times to be successful. It has become less and less about killing and more and...

I have been going to SD for at least 25 years. I have been in late October and thought birds were down a bunch, only to return in December and find hundreds if not thousands in a few days. It is impossible to know how many birds are there until the crops come out.

Possibly that bird fell off one of those semi’s whizzing by on the “ freeway “. Maybe you scared them out when you were shooting at the trucks. 😂👎😂

For a guy that doesn’t care you mounted a great defense.😂😂😂💪💪

Wow nothing like a snow hunt

That’s awesome. I can definitely relate to the face plant. If I don’t go down once a day I’m not working hard enough. Three birds with two shells, now that’s making the most of it

No I will message you. I am pretty discouraged as I believe it is not healing properly.

I understand that, but if you’re not buying the pheasants but you are buying access to their property. The game is a bonus to the access. You don’t get your money back if you don’t get game

Absolutely. Living in the country gunshots are a way of life. If we are in the yard my dogs have always associated gunfire with birds. Even my young one hears it and immediately looks for something falling. She doesn’t run off looking for it but definitely has associated the sound with her work.

Something about those black Labs. I watched him direct one of his on a nice retrieve in a milo field last year. It was shot at and flew in a couple hundred yards away. Like finding a needle in a haystack

Prairie chickens will be near impossible once they covey up when it gets cold unless you have time to pattern their flight paths. If you get within a couple hundred yards it would be a victory.

Taking a shotgun out and shooting it around a puppy before any kind of conditioning is for stupid owners. Once you screw one up you’ll play hell fixing it.

If you want someone to run up and check it out for you let me know. I’m only a couple hours south of there. 😂 spent many a day east of there around Bedford. Was a fair number of birds around there in the early 90’s

Twenty years ago I used to go with a guy by Lincoln Kansas. It was a high dollar put and take place. He had clients that would come in and drop 3-4k and they would release a bunch of pheasants for them. For 50 bucks a day we got use of a house and we would do cleanup hunts on the leftover birds...

My post certainly wasn’t directed at you, I know firsthand that you care for your dogs better than most. I was simply relating an experience I have had

Overheating is real and hopefully it doesn’t cost you a dog to figure it out. I live in Eastern Kansas and it is not uncommon to have high heat and humidity all summer. I was mowing my few acres one evening and had left the dogs out as I often did. It was about 7pm and really soupy outside. I...
