    go out with bang

    I thought the same thing......but hey, why not! I have alot of public land within 20 minutes of my house. Granted, Wisconsin stocks pheasants throughout the season on the lands......but birds do make it through, survive and have been establishing themselves. One property, this summer I observed...

    go out with bang

    Beginning of the season started out great in my area......East/Central, public land. I have not been out as much as I would like this last month. South Dakota pheasants, Bay de Noc walleyes and work got in the way! There are birds still around, but they have smartened up and been spooky. Still...

    Ground swatting

    I hear ya on that too...... I've probably lost half a dozen birds over my current lab in his hunting time. Best cripple he ever ran down was in SD....true double.....he peeled off the first bird as it came down stone dead and on to the second bird that I didn't hit solid......I watch him go...

    Ground swatting

    That's what always sticks in my mind too.....how fast my dog can cover ground when he needs to....once that trigger is pulled, there is no taking it back. And that is my situational awareness with a dog I spend alot of time with......some people that have hunted with me over my dog haven't...

    Ground swatting

    No go around me/my dog as well. Additionally, if you can see the dog and the bird in the same "frame" as it flushes, no go. Wait til it climbs and/or is away from the dog. My lab has grabbed slow flushing birds out of the air above his head if he is on them. He also is a speed demon, if it's a...

    Losing confidence in dog

    You can unlock that.......exposure, experience, confidence building and patience. You have a hunting dog.

    Dinners served

    I've used my pheasant in shredded pheasant tacos, quesadillas, cheesy pheasant enchilada soup, smoked pheasant dip, deep fried pheasant tenders...etc. Also have taken a chunk of pheasant, fold it over a slice of jalapeños and cream cheese....then wrap in bacon and grill. Quick little popper...

    Losing confidence in dog

    "Soft" simply means you have to adjust and change techniques. My current lab, by some peoples opinions, is a "soft" dog.....all he does is aim to please in both the field and the home. He has great drive, all business in the field, super high pain tolerance, and is stubborn as hell......but he...

    Losing confidence in dog

    My first piece of advise, with a one year old dog ending its first season.......patience. You say she shows flashes, handles well, hunts hard, pushes cover, yet may miss a bird or two. Honestly, look at what is going right when things align and focus on replicating that through trainings in the...

    solo hunting

    I grew up learning and hunting with my father. Upland was his passion. He enjoyed chasing pheasants, woodcock, and grouse. We typically had at least 1 dog around the house, lab, springer, or brittany. He passed away too soon, age of 58 from cancer. I was 24 and just finishing college, ready to...

    Hunting With A Backpack

    Agree, the majority of it is universal. About the only "specific" items I carry for me are 2 C.A.T. tourniquets.....too big to be used on the dog. But I do carry 1 TacMed K9 tourniquet for him. I also have 4 packets of QuikClot combat gauze (non heat generating variation). Again, the items...

    Hunting With A Backpack

    The gear I/we carry has nothing to do with "I'm only hunting birds" or such. It's for emergencies, which can happen anytime, anyplace to anyone. It's stuff that could save my life or my dog's life.....it could also be stuff that saves "your" life or "your" dog's life if I'd come across "you" and...

    Hunting With A Backpack

    I do have OnX and use that for my tracks, sharing location and such with wife or who I leave my hunt/hike plan with. I also carry 2 cell phones, one is for work and the location/find my phone app is always active through my IT department. Paracord is a good idea, definitely something to add for...
