Great post Pete and I want to thank you for it. My "pup" is 10 this year and arthritis is slowing him down greatly. He's good for about 2 to 3 miles a day tops when in years past he would go from bell to bell full out. Although I am coming up to SD in January to pick up my new pup from a...

I feed my dog in the evenings and then a small handful of food in the morning plus lots of water as he is older and take a daily pill for inflammation. Lately, I have been getting peanut butter Cliff Bars, and we share it, with the dog getting half a couple of hours after we start. This has kept...

Thanks all who responded. As a wrap up, what ended up being the case is that good ol’ Cash had developed some fairly significant arthritis in his front ankles (undoubtedly my fault with allowing him to jump out of the truck for years) and so he was dragging his front feet through the brush...

Heading out tomorrow to eastern Colorado somewhere. Did anyone on this forum hunt the opener?

The straight away shot is mtly easiest, probably because thats the easiest shot for me to practice on with operating my clay thrower by myself. My most challenging is the left to right or vice versa at a distance, probably due to that being one shot I cant practice with by myself...

Dont put all your cards on getting shells in Mitchell I was in Cabelas there last week twice for dog supplies, both times there was a crazy scene at the ammo aisle. Thankfully i didnt need ammo, but the only stuff there im 12 gauge was the cheap stuff and it literaly was being scraped into...

I used to take my nephews out on youth waterfowl weekends the week prior to opener in Colorado. Always enjoyed the time and my dogs appreciated the extra work, especially as the kiddos became good shots. They grew out of it, I've ben asking friends kids if they want to get into the sport but no...

Thanks all, especially Chestle for sending the pics to his Vet friend. Well it sounds like this isn't as rare as I thought when I spoke to a couple of lab breeders in S.D. who also ran guided hunts and neither they (or the vet) had seen anything like it. It was (is) perplexing as this dog has...

Just wondering if anyone has seen this before. I just returned from a solo trip to South Dakota early due to a problem my Lab is having with his feet. The pics below are of his worst front foot, but the other front foot has 3 spots the same size and his back feet have 3 and 2 small spots on...

I'm interested in this as well as my Garmin is my main hunt navigator as well due to cell phone coverage.. Have you tried calling the service line, I had it on my "to do" list for today. I'll let you know if I find anything

Hi all. Long story short... from CO and in South Dakota. Going to go see some parents at Cedar Point Kennels in Pierre for a pointing lab. Seems like a nice guy...but yall know how that goes.. Anyone have any info, if so PM me? Its kinda short notice, Thanks

Recently retired, can hunt anyday of the season (except Christmas, need to stay married ;) ..rather avoid CO opener ... sent you a pm

Thanks B-B. Last week I looked at the drought maps for June and July. The area I usually hunt looks ok now, but was in extreme in July which got me looking at other areas. May or June is insect season for chicks I believe correct? I'm thinking that high levels of drought in those months would...

Most of the time its me and my dog or one buddy in my truck. I'd like to get enough info to get at least in a general area or region

I believe in the positive use of this forum for helping others get into or improve their experiences, "spreading the joy" so to speak. So, although I am asking specifically about SD, feel free to pipe up about any upland state. For those of you who travel to hunt (which is probably almost all of...

Interesting read, especially the contrast between how Nebraska and Kansas is approaching the issue with predictable results...

Howdy. I agree with the board, not only for tire jack emergencies, but i use it as a cutting board for cleaning birds and cooking (with a small bottle of bleach for use between the two). Also, im planning to check stores on the way and make sure that i have plenty of shells. Im finding it very...

This is not helpful. Of all the hunters that I know and/or hunt with, 80% of them are Democrates. Can the "demonization" of others in this country that don't toe your particular the line stop?

Good to hear of a "lame duck" politican showing up and putting forward positive legislation. Thats obviously not the norm.

Glad im doing my part to "flatten the curve" ;). They say that you can tell a lot about a person by the company they keep
