    Aberdeen or Watertown?

    Looks good why and where. I've lived here 14 years and pheasant hunting has been very disappointing. I live in Aberdeen for over 30 years and hunting is much better there.

    Small game knives

    I use some brass cleaner on the ends of the Buck 110 to shine them up occasionally and a little oil on the wood handle.

    Small game knives

    I've got more knives than I know what to do with. My favorite is still my Buck 110 Folding Hunter. I've used it on everything from pheasants to elk and moose. It's a tough knife to beat. I've had it for over 40 years..

    Is it really an upgrade?

    First thing I noticed is that the Summit XT comes with two water bottles and holders. I couldn't find if you can add water bottle holders to the Q5 Rimfire. The Summit looks an awful lot like my WingWorks vest that I've had for nearly 20 years. I see WingWorks vests are back in stock but at...

    Is it really an upgrade?

    Curious as to which Q5 vest you have and which Final Rise vest you are looking at?

    Dog Health Issue

    Sorry for your loss. Sounds a lot like what happened to my Brittany 9 years ago. She had just turned 8. Had a tumor on her spine. Still wanted to run but was in a lot of pain which was increasing daily. No choice but to put her down. Took me a long time to get over her passing.

    Her Last Point

    I feel for you. Lost my last Brittany 9 years ago to cancer. Put her down 6 days after her 8th birthday. Took a long time to get over that one.

    Advice on bird hunting trip to Grand rapids ,MN

    I haven't done a lot of Ruff Grouse hunting but if it was me I'd prefer to wait until later in the season when the leaves are off the trees and you have cooler temps. Also less chance of dealing with a lot of ticks.

    Aberdeen or Watertown?

    Temperature difference between Aberdeen and Watertown is very little if any. Watertown is only about 40 miles further south than Aberdeen.

    Aberdeen or Watertown?

    I lived in Aberdeen for over 30 years before moving to Watertown 14 years ago. If you base your decision on pheasant hunting, Aberdeen is far superior. What I like about Watertown is it's location. Hour and a half to Sioux Falls and a lot closer to Minneapolis/St. Paul. Other than that they are...

    Dog Health Issue

    My female Brittany just turned 9 years old. Still runs and plays like she is 2 or 3. Recent health check at the vet and all was well. She has always been quite the jumping dog. She'll jump up on my patio table and in & out of my SUV with no problem. She has run of the house and jumps on the...

    RE: How do you get your dogs in shape, does walking behind a truck or 4 wheeler cause problems?

    I try to keep my dog in good condition year round. Mainly get her out running in the fields for a half hour or more most every day of the week. I'm fortunate there are fields next to the walking/bike trail near my house. I try to maintain her weight within a couple of pounds throughout the year.

    Maybe we can plan a day this fall to meet around Canby. I have a friend from the Fergus area that lives on Ottertail Lake. My father worked for Ottertail Power Company.
