Most of us travel to go there. We schedule time off, make hotel reservations, then drive a couple thousand miles to get there. The weather outside of a crippling blizzard, really doesn’t figure into it. I am of the belief that the lower numbers are financial mixed with apathy. Unless you are...
First off I don’t have 12 buddies
Secondly we all know how it happened
Years ago when my oldest son was in scouts, we had a scout leader like that. At the time I had a couple good dogs and it was still a big deal to hunt the kansas opener. I had access to some great crop/ Crp grass in north...
As you can imagine the last few days home has been a struggle. We live on a few acres so our mornings are me on the porch drinking coffee and her out getting into trouble. Now it’s a short walk to pee then back inside. She hates the cone and is not happy.
My work always slows in front of a presidential election. People are uneasy and want to hold onto their money. So I decided what the heck might as well take a trip so I took off at 5am last Sunday and drove to Kenmare North Dakota. Left at 5am and reached the Motel around 830 Sunday night. My...
Funny I have never witnessed this and have probably made 50 plus trips there in the last twenty years. Probably because it’s only on the roads that lead back to Minnesota.😂
There is much about law enforcement that at times doesn’t feel right. Maybe the reason it doesn’t feel right is I primarily error on the side of what is legal… you can thank the many who don’t for this. I hunted Iowa a lot back in the late eighties early nineties. I got my vehicle searched once...
I’m with you…. Definitely more info needed than what was given. I have been on the other side and it was manageable. We hunted some ground one time up in South Dakota and the farmers kid brought his full blown Weimaraner out with us. I had an intact male black lab and after a couple attitude...
This can’t be the perfect post because there’s nothing about cheap beer, crappy trucks or taking a dump. Go back and add that then you’ll have the perfect goose post ( you can add mama and a train if you want but it’s not necessary)
I had to re
i had to reread his comment. He didn’t say he retrieved 95% of birds shot but that 95% of the birds he retrieved himself. If hunting without a dog there is no way you do better than 9/10 in any cover much less heavy cover. I have always had good/great retrievers and would say in...
I was hunting in SD up around Pierre about 8 or so years ago with a small group. We were doing our best to hunt into the 40+ mile an hour winds. When the birds got up into the wind they were only 10-12 yards out because they literally couldn’t hear us coming. I shot one and literally destroyed...
I assume you are getting them from someone who has multiple dogs. I have inside dogs and got my last one from a guy that had multiple dogs he was training. He was 18 months old and basically a field trial washout. House breaking took a bit as he was used to dropping wherever he was and two year...
I have done this a couple times in the past. My experience was to spend as much time as possible with the dog. I took mine with me as much as I could. It is important that the dog bonds with you.if you spend a lot of time with them it will make the transition easier. If you bring it home only to...
