The only one I got in SD (which was this past season) was a 2nd year bird and his nostrils looked like they were closing up too. It made me question if he was truly a flare nare. Good to know. What do people think about wild birds that hang out around farms (where they aren't hunted)? Do...

Did your research show if there are different strains being released and how many? I am referring to melanistic and others strains.

Does the data show whether the birds hatched in SD were sold to customers in SD? In other words, is it possible to account for birds that were hatched in SD, but sold to customers in other states?

Thanks for mentioning that. This combination isn't a double dose, because it is different active ingredients in each of those products, with different modes of action (each product has 2 active ingredients). My vet said this combination was fine. I am not suggesting that all combinations of...

Is it customary to shoot them with your pinkies out too?

Just got this in an email:

But if you must know... You know how divining rods work to find water. Yeah, that. Except these are tuned to birds (and other critters, if a Versatile breed (big V)). I may be drummed out of the society for sharing the secret of how pointers find birds better than flushers, but now you know...

As my daughters would say... OMG! So many questions come to mind about this question/comment.

When considering the merits of the breeds...

Do you remember which antibiotic was used? Another possibility could be a mild case of fleas. We had to add a collar to our regimen, because the fleas in our area have started to become resistant to the monthly topical we use. You could have a couple of those getting him and causing a...

Might be worth looking into food allergies. Our lab had ear infections/redness for years and we thought it was outside allergens. When switching food one time, we realized her ears were a lot better. Sorry, just saw that you tried different foods. Were they different brands? Most brands also...

I really like using the app, but part of me does long for the days where I would order the printed maps from the U of MN bookstore and use those to get around to the spots. This was before smartphones. The less ardent hunters might have known of a place or two, but not all that those maps...

I found one a few years ago. A WPA that was marked as private on OnX. I just checked. It is still marked that way. It does have signs on the property, but not showing up on OnX did help reduce its use, I believe. I didn't hunt it this season, because that area of MN got wiped out by the...

I've used Burt's Bees dog shampoo before. Gentler than some products. I also started giving her this before this season: I did it to see if it would result in fewer broken nails, which she would get on some of the winter hunts in past years. She broke exactly one nail, this season, in the...

Snagged one of these. Great sale going on now. Got it for less than 50% of the regular price. It is the uninsulated one, not the expensive, insulated HD version.

I think I found it. Thanks for the pointer (no pun intended...well, maybe a little): https://forum.ultimatepheasanthunting.com/threads/lab-guys-sorry-but.26873/

I am *shocked* people don't know what is the best breed of hunting dog. Clearly, it is the wiener dog. Oh, wait, I thought I was on the ultimate badger hunting website! Nevermind. Carry on. Is there a particular thread on here for this topic, or do you mean it is across a bunch of past...

It's only 6 hours from there to Casper. Just another location to consider. :sneaky: I am sure he enjoyed that shooting. Good you were able to get him some shooting time, if not at birds.
