I went to a few shoots in Texas a few years ago, just to observe, They kept things pretty close to the vest, Lots of money involved ! Lots of casual questions as to what I was doing there. Concerned with ASPCA. Not for the squeamish!
Am going with a heavy heart ! Lost my 10 yr old BLF to cancer 2 weeks ago and want to take some of her ashes to our place in Eureka. She loved to hunt pheasants !! Now the search is on for a replacement !!
Last year my Lab -kinda disappeared. Backtracked and found her in a snare standing calmly. This was on county multiuse property. Lots of dog exercisers as well as hunters. Talked to the county about it requesting trappers at least post there are snares in use. Nothing came of it but the snare...
When I was a duck hunter I just wore my LaCrosse hip boots. They worked for many rears. No longer made in LaCrosse any more and are crap !! Someone made canvas topped hippers that worked very well too. Think they might have been Herters.
