My dad switched to a pointer a few years back. For guys that don't move so well, whether old or unathletic, a pointer is a good fit.

Yes

To be honest, the last time I was at Pheasant Fest, I didn't find much that had value to my style of pheasant hunting. I leave Sage at home sometimes when I go duck hunting. She isn't happy, but she gets over pretty quick, at least according to my wife, who would most certainly let me know if...

Will do!

She is. The litter is expected toward the end of April. Not sure how much they'll actually hunt together, but I'll play that by ear.

I'll be there on Saturday morning, probably around 10am to lunch or so. The breeder I'm getting a pup from will be there, so I wanted to talk to him for a few, and wander around.

States have a right to establish rules on non-residents. Is the 5-day license that SD has set up dumb? Sure. But, it does a fair job of allowing non-residents to hunt without overstepping on the guys who live here, pay taxes here year round, raise families here, and don't want to see a ton of...

Broken femur, fell in a drainage ditch, no phone. Got close to his vehicle, but there was another drainage ditch that he couldn't cross. I don't carry my phone with me, but do have it in the truck, and my wife can find that. Still, a good reminder for people who are maybe hunting in an...

Really good stuff, Bob!! That's the kind of pheasant hunting content I could watch non-stop. Skye was a genuine rockstar. That lighter grass is a bear to hunt, but the pheasants are in there and it takes skill and effort to get them in the vest. And you shot a Kansas Blue Back!! :)

Nicely done, you two. That even looked a little bit like a late season pheasant hunt, of which we were robbed this past season, but alas, you guys figured it out anyway.

I love labs because there is never any question of them being smarter than me. It is a fact I take solace in. Sure, they're more athletic, have a better sense of smell and are indeed more skilled at hunting, but raw intelligence? Nope. Not the dog that is mystified when I disappear under a...

Here, here!!

13 to 17. Three in the gun and five to seven in each pocket, right and left sides respectively. I've had to borrow shells twice in the past decade, both times were on a group hunt with the local Pro Pheasants group.

Thanks, Goose. And to think I almost stayed home because it was so cold that day. Bless Sage and her annoying case of cabin fever, otherwise, it might never have happened.

I'm typically able to be a lot more focused when its just Sage and me. That flush turned up at the right place at the right time!

This is easily the most depressing time of year. Sage looks at me with disgust every time I'm sitting on the couch and not taking her out. Fortunately, I've got some footage to keep my spirits up until October.

That's funny. I absolutely loathe the Winchester X steel shells. Back when I was shooting steel all the time, I liked Federal. Either their Speed Shok or Black Cloud. 3" - #2 - 1 1/4 oz was my go to. I shot plenty of 1 1/8 oz, but prefer the 1 1/4 oz.

Worst thing that happened this season was the rain around Christmas and the brutal cold in mid-January. Probably cost me about 3-4 hunts. Kre, please know you're among friends and any time someone says they can't talk about it, I desperately want them to talk about it. :)

You trying to get me and A5 all fired up?!?!? :) I've got a spreadsheet with all the licensed preserves and their locations. I should make a flare nare free zone map and sell it to the masses.

I've brined pheasant for smoking, but haven't tried it prior to regular dishes. I'm sure it can't be bad!
