I wanted to get one last pheasant hunting trip in to SD with my setters, but Mother Nature has something to say about that.. now I’m wondering if a trip down to Kansas would be worth my time depending on weather.. I would love to get into some quail and any pheasants or prairie chickens would be...

Probably the last bird I’ll shoot this year… we’re getting a blizzard here in Wisconsin, and with all the snow already in SD I don’t know if it’ll be worth coming out in mid January.. now what will I do for the next 9 months..? Last Pheasant Hunt Of 2022? (Pheasant Number 30)

Little to no WILD pheasants in my part of the state… just the ones the DNR stocks at a few different spots. I haven’t even seen a hen this entire season. Either way, dogs love it.

Trying to make the most out of the last couple weeks of the Wisconsin season. Closing in on 30 birds for the season. Snowy Late-Season Wisconsin Pheasants

Unfortunately my SD trip next Thursday is looking like it’ll have to be cancelled due to the storm, luckily there’re a few birds around in Wisconsin to keep the dogs entertained.

I'm also coming from Wisconsin, so the later I leave the further east this system will be, so I might be screwed either way.. Let's hope the weathermen continue their streak of being unreliable more than a day or so in advance..

At what point, in terms of snowfall over a couple of days, would you consider it not worth the 8 hour drive to hunt? I planned to hunt around the Huron/Mitchell area next Thursday-Sunday (of course the day after this projected winter storm or blizzard).. I've never been out there with ANY snow...

One more week til we’re back in SD… hopefully the weather doesn’t get nasty before next Thursday 🤞🏼 South Dakota Tune-Up (1 MORE WEEK!!!)

Oh yeah, a little cut which resulted in a LOT of blood.. it was his first time out in about two weeks, definitely not due to running him into the ground. Probably more-so due to having him rest up for two weeks from a foot injury and being wayyy too juiced up to finally hunt. He’s babied beyond...

He’s been on the IR for about a week with a raw pad on his back foot.. he’s been hunting twice this week and this is the first time he’s been bleeding or close to it. When we got home you couldn’t even see where he nicked himself down there. My vet told me a few weeks ago that those parts heal...

What studies are you looking at? I’m genuinely curious.. personally the study linked below is enough for me to have a dog with some bloody nuts every once in a while until we can find a decent solution. Either way, you seem overly pro-nut snipping...

We were a couple miles from the car when it happened… it was a scrape and you couldn’t find it with a microscope if you looked now, it isn’t as if I realized it and hunted him until he bled out and then carried him home. But thank you for the concern. As far as issues with fixing him.. it’s...

It’s never been THIS bad before.. but we were pretty far from the car when we noticed it so it got worse and worse. I’m thinking some kind of body suit might be what we need..?

My dogs nuts tends to get pretty beat up and bloody nearly every time out. I’ve let them fully heal countless times but he’s a bottle rocket going through the grass and I don’t imagine that’ll change anytime soon.. Wondering if anyone has a good method to avoid this other than fixing my dog...

Whether this is right or wrong is still up in the air.. but I know the freezer is a little more full and the dogs loved it. Jumped up another 3 after these just for fun.

After 5 straight hunts without seeing a single pheasant, they finally released some birds in Wisconsin.. forever envious of those of you living in SD!

Can't wait to be back in SD in a little over a week... these Wisconsin roosters just aren't the same.. Luckily the dogs don't know the difference. Also, for others who post videos.. what resolution and fps are you usually shooting at? I try to shoot at 4K60 when possible, but in low light 4K...

Bad shooting, good dog. This time in Wisconsin.

South Dakota opener with my two setters.. Marty is 2 and Larry is about 7 months. Got our limit 2 out of 3 days.

Well, I ended up coming for the opener.. and I’m not the least bit disappointed.. Saturday we ended up with two.. but I flat out missed two easy ones and had a few get up too far out.. Sunday we had a limit by 11:15, had two flushes with 10+ birds, and probably put up 40 birds total Today we...
