A lot of rain, kind of screwed up some of our 1 st half day today. Sharpies were in family groups but were running and flying out of range- it was wet and muddy. We decided to push north and west another several hours to get out of the rain and hunt new territory for the evening- got into some...

Drove through SD early this morning en route to ND for sharps and huns. Most soybeans I’ve ever seen in SD. Seriously think there is as much soybeans as corn if not more. I guess a lot of corn already harvested / bailed due to its condition. Saw 3 pheasants total driving the corridor from...

Good thread- I’ve been prospecting between danners and Irish setters for my next pair. I’m still wearing my old kangaroo leather brownings but honestly don’t think they have a whole lot left in them.

The water storage part is prolly the most fustrating part of a vest for me these days. If you just run one dog, I don't think its that big a deal. 2 at a time for several miles during early season -now it gets fustrating.

Lol Lol! yeah-they sure are ugly!

outfitters are pure poison!!(n):poop: They are ruining the sport.

I don’t think the 550 pro has a map screen. It’s a much more streamlined approach than the 100. It point to your dogs location rather than show it’s path on a map. It has a faster process time too. I almost bought it, it’s a good system. I currently have the one under it- sport pro. Which has no...

Thanks KsHusker I’ll check that one out! I’m not really in a big hurry right now- I still have time. I’m really hoping to hear some feedback on the alpha 10- it is the next/ newest generation to the alpha 100. My brother has the 100- too big and too clicky- I have a hunch that garmin...

I’m looking at the alpha 10 atm. Anyone have one yet? I’d be interested to hear any feedback on this model.

Good reminder Brittman!

We haven’t had quail in Texas( north) for the last 2 yrs due to drought. I realize our stock is low but I’m hearing some reports of bird numbers(spotty) - hopefully I don’t have to travel that far (ok) if I have them near me.

I hope you’re right!

I just love being on the ND prairie in September. It’s a nice change from shooting doves in a 100 degree weather! I’ll find sharpies it’s the huns I’m worried about. They are a lot like our bobwhites, they will not be ok in this drought.

Starting in ND. Open Texas quail. I haven’t decided on Oklahoma yet. And of course, SD and Ks.

GL Qwerk! Let us know how it goes. I'm guessing you are running pointing dogs since you are in quail country?

Speaking of an empty chamber, I did it last year on a "textbook point' with both my gsps locked up. They had them pinched in a corner to a ploughed field, 3 roosters got up staggered/one at a time. grrrr-still eats me up! Lol 🤣

They are definitely a tougher candidate when it comes to weather. I would think that the drought would impact cover for nesting and predators. I know they don’t prefer taller cover overall. Not sure how vulnerable their young are during a drought.

All this talk about the drought and the impact it’s having on the pheasant has got me wondering how the sharpies are holding out this year. Last year the sharpie numbers were the best in a long time! I’m amazed at how they live/survive on the prairie! They had a very mild winter as far as...
