This made me laugh! The one time I made a trip to a South Dakota farmers place to hunt "wild birds", we did see wild birds, but didn't shoot any. The few wild birds flew as soon as you pulled up in the pickup and open the door. He said "I'm sure they didn't all fly away let's go ahead and walk...

I can vividly image the nose drip followed by the "charge"... I guess I have reached the point of my life/hunting career that watching my dog and everyone else's dogs is the best part of the day. I will continue to carry a gun so on the rare occasion that I connect on a shot, the dogs get...

I know a guy that is currently trying to find a good home for his 1 year old yellow lab that is lacking the "drive" he is wanting out of a dog. This pup comes from a reputable breeder and known experienced trainer (from what I can tell anyway). He wants $3000 for him and I know that this...

This is very interesting and my first time hearing this question. I am the proud owner of one of those "over discussed versatile dogs" so I don't even want to go there...but she is a pointing lab. She does hunt both ways but until reading your post, I had never thought about it. Her "birdie"...

I was having a conversation about this topic a few weeks ago with a farmer that I also hunt with on occasion. I know that margins are tight within the farming operations, but was curious with some financial assistance from government programs or even the PF organization, could he ever imagine...

It is easy to take for granted the luxury of living in rural Western Kansas, so thanks to all that make these posts. If I hunt every weekend for the whole season, I won't burn $200 in fuel. I have a lifetime hunting license that was given to me by an ex-girlfriend when I was in my 20's (it...

I had never been checked here in Western Kansas in ~35 years as an avid hunter. I read this post a several weeks ago and remember reflecting back on this and chuckling to myself about all of the law abiding rules I/we follow as a sportsman, not because of fear but because it's the right thing...

I "begged" 3 boys to go out and hunt so I could work my young dog before this weekend. We didn't go out until 10:30 because they had some youth sport commitments. It was pretty warm by the time we started, upper 50's. We walked ~1.5 miles of WIHA CRP along some harvested irrigated crop land...

Oh man, do I feel silly. I wish I would have met someone like you sooner. This would have saved me $10,000. I will look around for a better gun when I go to Europe for the summer. Maybe we can meet up next year when I get a better gun. Postponing my first trip will allow time for more...

Bob, This sounds like a bucket list hunt trip for sure! Are you up for some company? I would tag along if you will allow. (Might be easier to hunt out of the window if we take turns driving for each other.) This will be my first year pheasant hunting, and I have a brand new, fully engraved...

I purchased a seal kit and was disappointed how dusty my bed was, even after installing. After a few months the lower kit detached so I removed it, but the side seals were still intact. I recently went on a trip to the mountains and drove several miles on dirt roads. The inside of my bed...

My wife's golden retriever came to us in early June 2012. We (mistakenly) had a 4th of July party at our house ~1 month later. This was a huge mistake and I never could get him over it. He would get excited when he saw guns and wanted to go hunting with us but only got out of the back of the...

CC, Velvet, Forty Creek all lead the pack to my previous comment "no Canadian BS"! 🤣

Sheesh! I love sharing a good bourbon just like the next "liar" that has a good hunting dog, and their great hunting spot. My problem is I also like reliable shotguns also. I struggle with paying more for bourbon than what what my favorite O/U cost! 🤪 Seriously, how good can "Pappy" be?!?

Certainly! Bourbon taste better when shared with a fellow liar! Remember, I'm a self declared ***hole that talks while hunting and refuses to take home birds through...🤣

I have a standard bottle sitting on the sitting on my shelf right now. That is cool that they have a special bottle for SD. I wonder if other distilleries do this also?

Beer?? Whiskey?? Conversation?? Only allow sleeping hole-to-hole in a camper?? Where do I send my application to join your hunt party? ;) I am only interested if the whiskey is made from corn in Kentucky! I don't want any of that Canadian BS!

Part of the public land or heavily hunted areas probably demand more stealth behavior. I know our hotspots around here, we use extreme caution to keep the noise down when we jump out. However in a large field walking a quarter or a half mile next to a friend or cousin that you have not seen...

As I read through this thread I have learned that I am an ***hole for the following reasons! :ROFLMAO: I am really glad this thread is out here because it does make a person think about their "normal" actions/routines that may be causing others skin to crawl and until now, I didn't know it was...

I wondered where all of the weeds in my yard came from....
