As a older person I never leave home without it. It can also be used to summon help for someone else if the situation arises. My daughter is suggesting I get the Search and Rescue Insurance from Garmin for $39/year. Might not bad idea.

"And no tails to whack me and stuff around the house." Phin's tail leaves bruises when he's excited :):)

You got that right. I'm surprised (and grateful) that Phin is a tolerant as he is towards her. From day 1 she was not intimidated at all.

I returned to Bird hunting 3 years ago. Bought a pup, trained him and had a great time In KS and SD these past years. Phin is a machine in the field but in the off season he’s happy to be a house dog, always alert for the chance to get outside. He thrives on regular training, exercise and...

My wife came along with me late last year. She had watched dog training and seen the dog work on hikes around here but never been out actually hunting. She enjoyed the experience so much that she wants to hunt with me next season. I usually hunt solo so I enjoyed the company and it will be...

Seeing the picture made me realize I never thought about the need to restrain the dog for the time it takes to treat it. Not just quills either. Thanks for the visual reminder !

Munster, Thanks for that link. It'll be an improvement over the random stuff in my field gear.

I wear hearing aids full time and I'll tell you it is no fun. Anything you can do early to protect your hearing will save you a bunch of challenges later in life.

Congrats! Chasing down a bird for a mile is dedication. Bear Spray?

I am usually hunting alone. My most valuable hunting accessory is my Garmin InReach. It is always on me and powered up while out and about. There is a "locate me" function my family or friends can use for a worst case scenario.

I have thought about that same thing! What I find is that sometimes those handwarmer packets get so hot inside a glove it feels like you're getting burned. Get exclusive rights for resale! 👈 ;)

This was my second year coming to SD, public land only, and it is still a learning experience. I had two hunting trips, one early when most fields had standing crops and the second after Thanksgiving in a different area with most crops out. Both had birds but the second session had more...

My dog told me he was coming anymore if I don't start shooting better. Couldn't hit anything last time out.

I looked into Spectrum and Straight Talk. Both use the Verizon towers and Verizon either owns them or has controlling interest in them. It's not easy to get clear information on the services but it appears they don't get the same priority, bandwidth or service from the network that direct...

Thanks for the replies. Looked at options but will just stick with Verizon. Happy New Year!

Thanks Remy. I've had good coverage with Verizon but they are starting to kill me on cost. I use my phone as a hotspot for network access when I am out there hunting and would hate to lose that due to lack of coverage.

Just curious who you all in the Plains States are using for Cell providers. Verizon vs. AT&T.

Looks like a great idea but I still don't know if I could fit across the backseat of my F150. Not to mention the dog would be pi$$ed if I kickjed him out into the bed of the truck 😁 (that color though!)

I understand the meat of this but don't understand the "waiting in line to head off" part. It's the queuing up to hunt that I don't get? Hunt what?

Maybe that’s were all the birds were? Should have checked it out!
