Nothing like a lab in the cattails. Looks like a good partner

I have done my share of party hunting and have taken out several novice hunters and done my best to get them on birds. As I have gotten older it is less and less appealing. That probably says more about me than anybody else

I have hunted in many different states but Kansas roads can be the worst with moisture. I imagine it will be a mess this weekend

He is a legend… I was up with him a couple weeks ago.

And this is the balance. I hate hunting in a coat. I usually do a base layer with multiple layers over that I can shed as needed. If it is really cold I usually go for a pair of insulated bibs with a couple sweatshirts. I can’t do a stocking cap as I will sweat too much.

This is very true. If the birds are under pressure and it’s dry and dusty, I really have to temper my expectations. Last week I was walking a public area when she locked up on a rooster in a fence line. She held point until I walked up on her. He really had no choice as there was no where to...

It’s the dry conditions for sure. I had a similar experience with my Pudelpointer who is a little younger than yours. Last year she was solid and holding points and I was very happy overall. Last Monday it was 80 degrees and dusty. She did point and hold a few hens, but the roosters were...

If you go to the horse section in a Feldman or any farm store here they sell spray de tangle in a bottle. It makes it much easier at the end of the day. Mane and tail is one of them. As stated above if you use too much they do get a bit greasy. But It is still better than burrs

Most of us travel to go there. We schedule time off, make hotel reservations, then drive a couple thousand miles to get there. The weather outside of a crippling blizzard, really doesn’t figure into it. I am of the belief that the lower numbers are financial mixed with apathy. Unless you are...

First off I don’t have 12 buddies Secondly we all know how it happened Years ago when my oldest son was in scouts, we had a scout leader like that. At the time I had a couple good dogs and it was still a big deal to hunt the kansas opener. I had access to some great crop/ Crp grass in north...

People are weird. I may stop and watch someone shooting in a public area but who walks up and asks to shoot your gun?

Those birds always know where those darn houses are up there.

That was my thought also. It was just a bit too deep for me to handle myself, but at least it was at the end.

As you can imagine the last few days home has been a struggle. We live on a few acres so our mornings are me on the porch drinking coffee and her out getting into trouble. Now it’s a short walk to pee then back inside. She hates the cone and is not happy.

My work always slows in front of a presidential election. People are uneasy and want to hold onto their money. So I decided what the heck might as well take a trip so I took off at 5am last Sunday and drove to Kenmare North Dakota. Left at 5am and reached the Motel around 830 Sunday night. My...

Funny I have never witnessed this and have probably made 50 plus trips there in the last twenty years. Probably because it’s only on the roads that lead back to Minnesota.😂

Wow that’s nasty looking.

There is much about law enforcement that at times doesn’t feel right. Maybe the reason it doesn’t feel right is I primarily error on the side of what is legal… you can thank the many who don’t for this. I hunted Iowa a lot back in the late eighties early nineties. I got my vehicle searched once...

I’m with you…. Definitely more info needed than what was given. I have been on the other side and it was manageable. We hunted some ground one time up in South Dakota and the farmers kid brought his full blown Weimaraner out with us. I had an intact male black lab and after a couple attitude...

This can’t be the perfect post because there’s nothing about cheap beer, crappy trucks or taking a dump. Go back and add that then you’ll have the perfect goose post ( you can add mama and a train if you want but it’s not necessary)
