Hi. My wife and I will be in Goodland Kansas starting about November 20 and staying until we give up - probably a month. We have two labs. Wife is also a photographer that likes to hunt with me (she doesn't hunt). We wouldn't mind driving up to Phillips County if you want to set something up. My...

Thanks everyone. That gives me a good selection of places to look. I'll start the search...🙂

Unfortunately our 10 year old lab is starting to have health problems. Though we also have a 5 year old, I've gotten very used to hunting with two dogs. That means starting the arduous and often frustrating process of finding a reputable Labrador breeder, which we seem to have to do about every...

With a little friendly conversation they often will give you general information that can be quite helpful, such as "...area was hit hard by hail this summer". They aren't going to tell you where to hunt, other than in generalities, but they can and often will provide information that will help...

We have a friend that has a dog subject to severe seizures, sometimes multiple seizures in a day. She started the dog on a fairly high dose of CBD twice a day. The dog now has 3-4 very short seizures a year! I don't believe in miracles, but there is something to CBD being used for seizures and...

Fork, metal comb, but nothing really works once they get wound into the hair except scissors. Have a friend that always ran springers. We wouldn't stay in the same motel room with him. His dog would chew burrs out during the night and leave a mine field on the carpet.

In Colorado they added "Parks" to the Colorado Division of Wildlife. Many of us felt it was an attempt by the legislature to tap hunting/fishing license revenue for "Parks". Though it didn't turn out as bad as it could have, it still causes an accounting nightmare, which is compounded when you...

Now this is the kind of hot-spotting that makes sense! Thanks. Will try next time we are through Pierre.

I've hunted a Chessie in Alaska and labs in Alaska and the lower 48. For upland game, a good, light-mid weight lab from field stock can't be beat. I've tried the "british" style labs, and though they have great personalities, are easy to train and wonderful bird dogs, they tend to be too heavy...

My first time to ND it took a week (or more) to figure out the lay of the land, where the birds were (and the people weren't). I hunt 100% public accessible lands, but in the end, we found good hunting and the following years the learning curve was much shorter. I've found this true everywhere I...

Mine does not. They have changed the design a bit. I'm still not sure the water bottle holders are that secure unless you can find bottles that fit with the pocket zipped closed. I just looked at their website and it reminded me that I removed the little pockets that the model has one of on his...

I have the LL Bean and it is a good, comfortable vest with adequate pockets. The only complaint I have about it is the water bottle pockets are too big/loose. Unless I pay attention, when I bend over the water bottles fall out. I run two labs so water is important. I've learned to be careful...

Long ago a friend told me that if you keep water away from the bird, primarily the body cavity, after gutting, the bird will last a lot longer than if you rinse the bird after gutting. If you rinse it, you best be prepared to either freeze it or eat it in a few days as it will spoil. Rinsing...

Tried your website. Nothing came up but blank pages.

This is why I only use non-toxic shot in South Dakota. It is too easy to inadvertently have a lead shell in a vest/pocket or whatever. Personally, I don't think it reduces my overall success rate at all, and it certainly makes for a more relaxed hunting experience. I may have lead shot loads in...

Today I found that the "season date" section of the website first page was gone. Hopefully the website owners/developers are updating it with the correct information as it is a great service and saves a lot of time sorting through individual state web pages to find season opening/closing dates.

Wrong year was my first thought, but the list of opening dates is from the front page of this website and each states "2021". I tend to check with the proper agencies when I see something strange like this, but for someone that doesn't and wants to hunt opening day in either SD or Kansas this...

When steel first came out, Tom Roster, that was doing most of the ballistics work and trying to make the case that steel will work for waterfowl, told us that for whatever reason, #3 steel shot seemed to outperform other sizes. I don't know if that is still true, but I've used a lot of #3 steel...

Some time ago I looked at the introductory page to UltimatePheasantHunting.com and blithely wrote the season dates given for the states I generally hunt in on my 2021 calendar. Today I had some time to double check those dates as it seemed funny that Kansas, South Dakota and Colorado were...
