    Good huntin' songs

    One of my pointers is a black and white and named Betty so "Whoa Black Betty" has rocked that truck a many of times on the way to field. I picture the dogs in the back nodding along getting pumped up

    Inheritance

    Most misinterpreted quote in cinema history. Guilty myself for a long time. Huckle Bearer is what ole Doc says. Huckle was a casket in those days. Who knew?

    Long Distance Traveling for Birds

    I'm starting to wonder if I'm the a- hole up too early in these motels?? Because I'm a light sleeper and don't get bothered much than I can think of🤔😆

    Long Distance Traveling for Birds

    We used an old airstream for a lot of years when I was in my 20s. We'd cram 3-4 guys, dogs, and gear in that sucker. It was fun but added a whole extra aspect to a trip between getting the camper road ready, setup when you get there, and having to organize gear constantly to fit. Not to...

    E-collar question

    Lots of good info on here if you do a search. Good collar selection is very dependent on breed and terrain you plan to hunt. You don't have to break the bank on a collar but a good collar will last a lot of years and is cheaper in the long run than replacing cheap ones every few years.

    Quail hunting Southeast Kansas

    I will agree that more and more of the habitat in the SE corner is being mismanaged and when you go out west it's easy to see why there is less and less pheasants and topsoil for that matter because of poor farming and land management but in my direct area the cover is basically the same over...

    How often do you hunt pheasants?

    Politically Corrects. I don't think there is a limit either

    Quail hunting Southeast Kansas

    Has anyone heard of QF coming out and saying what they believe the problem is or that they're knee deep in research to resolve the decline?

    2022 pheasant harvest by state

    Hard time believing that for Kansas. These numbers have always been a joke for me. Maybe Kansas counts planted birds killed as well like SD.

    Governor Noem writes about her hunting dog

    The only way it makes any sense that this was published is like A5 and a couple others mentioned, in that a witness of this event had been found and it was going to come out so her camp tried to get in front of it and control the narrative. Once that was mentioned I thought on it, I agree and...

    Quail hunting Southeast Kansas

    The hunting singles is a pet peeve of mine too. I see and hear of it a lot now days. We grew up just moving on as well when you busted a covey but maybe because we knew there were more to come. I see groups out late in the evening chasing them too and that's frustrating. The batwing mowers...

    Quail hunting Southeast Kansas

    I live a mile from some of my wives relatives in SE KS and they have pictures of piles and piles of quail from hunts of years back. I grew up in Leavenworth County and we had good quail when I was a kid but not like they talk about through here. Kids would shoot limits and still catch the school...

    Governor Noem writes about her hunting dog

    She needs to take her handlers and her publicists to the gravel pit. But for those who are caught up on how she says did it, let me say this. I've grown up farming and ranching my whole life and have seen or had to put down a lot of different types of animals of all sizes. And the only times...

    Dog Breed Popularity

    The few Goldens I've been around were moderate sized I'd say, not too big to run anyhow. They were family dogs but just brilliant and would pick up a new trick in one evening. Lots of hair though lol

    Dog Breed Popularity

    Weimaraners and Goldens are on my radar for my next dog. But I assume the homework to find good hunting lines and the hit to the pocket book for a good one may be more than I want. As for the continued rise in GSP popularity I hope it doesn't lead to more dilution of the hunting lines. I'm...

    Governor Noem writes about her hunting dog

    I didn't read the book, only the link above but I kind of call BS on the whole thing. Probably embellished, stupidly, to try and fit their narrative of showing her toughness. But the first thing that came to my mind is no farm husband, dad or brother has a daughter/wife handle a situation like...

    Governor Noem writes about her hunting dog

    Dumb to put it in a book for sure but that situation has played out countless times in rural America and still happening today. Sometimes bad animals need to go away and whether they choose to use Dr. Smith in town or Dr. Winchester behind the barn it is what it is.
