I remember being in Blunt South Dakota about ten or so years ago. When yo come from out of state and only have 3-4 days the weather really doesn’t matter. One day it was about 25 degrees and the sustained winds were 30+ with 40+ gusts. The birds would get up and struggle to get altitude then...

I suspected it was sick. Damn dog will pick up anything.

A couple weeks ago my dog brought a dying snow goose back to me when I was in South Dakota. I left it for the coyotes after killing it

As I have gotten older my eyes aren’t what they were. That said I also will not shoot until I am 100% sure as killing birds isn’t as important as it once was. I know I have passed on many birds I couldn’t be sure on, particularly when the sun is in the wrong spot. I used to hunt with a guy that...

How could we possibly not get your point?? BTW you’re wrong. SD is good partially because of the pay hunting. Where do you think all those birds are wintering, roosting or eating? SD realizes what a cash cow hunting is for the local economy. If you take all of that away and farmers decide to...

In good times milo was king in parts of Kansas especially adjacent to some grass. Both Quail and pheasants love it. You don’t see much north of Nebraska. You don’t see 1/4 of what you used to see in Kansas

So since this is Iowa I will share this again. I am kinda a hunting whore, if you say you have some private land I will give it a whirl at least once, regardless of your personality. So myself and a buddy joined a business connection and his buddy in Central Iowa maybe 25 years ago. He bragged...

This. You can’t fix a hunting issue while hunting. It gets fixed by repetition while training.

Since you have experience, what type of music do they prefer? Jazz, R&B or old Rock?

Ha I forgot about that one.. thanks for posting it. Several years later and my dogs are still doing the same shit😂

So I would consider myself a fairly ethical hunter. I don’t shoot or catch more than my limit. I Don trespass, in fact I will count a lost bird in my daily limit. My last lab was an occasional hen catcher, particularly in snow. I got to where I could figure out when he was on one. His did kill...

That’s 13 plus miles…. I got a Charlie horse just thinking about it

That’s her favorite spot. I haven’t had a female for 30 years. She can be quite independent while still being affectionate on occasion. My males always seemed to be more clingy. Can’t wait to get out again

Probably nicked her tongue, those suckers bleed like crazy. My last lab had an extremely long tongue and actually bit completely through it. By the time I got him the vet it had stopped and he suggested no stitches. He lived his life with a notched tongue. Glad yours wasn’t too bad

It is amazing at times but I don’t know why I’m surprised. If my dog took a piss on the carpet I would go find someone, apologize and offer to clean it up. I saw two spots, and my dog stopped at the baseboard several times sniffing hard and I suspect there was more. All of this helps to...

Over the years I have spent many a night in a hotel while hunting. While I try not to trash the rooms, after 3-4 days of hunting they can get pretty dirty between boots and dogs. The motel this last week was pretty full. I saw a couple dogs pee on the carpet in the hallway, I can’t imagine what...

I know right?? I wasn’t short of breath at all. Raven had a good hunt and is starting to figure it out. She raced by me once then slammed on the brakes and did a 180 looking at me about twenty yards in front of me. She didn’t have time to do a full point and honestly I thought she was peeing...

It is sheer greed. We had an awesome resource here and it has been squandered. I haven’t seen a turkey here around my place in awhile. I travel through up in your area a few times a month for work and see little of anything. I did see a rooster up there over the summer and about wrecked the...

I don’t mind paying for a habit stamp, and I would pay more for a license in Kansas. I just really have little faith the money will be well spent. They are only interested in quantity over quality at this point here. Kansas is not a destination spot for upland anymore. Believe me they are all in...
