This past week during a 3-day hunt in western NE (report previously posted) was the first chance to see 8 mo old lab pup Tucker in a wild field. Sometimes I ran them both, sometimes one at a time. The first day it was just us. With both out, Tucker spend a lot of time just chasing Brady around...

Leave no trace and try to pick up after the slobs is my operational plan. Tom

Kooch runs a great shop in Winner. He has helped set us up with local guides in the past. Tom

The next night I had a PBR.

Well heck. For nostalgic reasons I just had a Hamm's beer Thursday night at Ole's Big Game Bar and Steakhouse in Paxton, NE Thursday night after hunting. It went down just fine, along with the ground bison steak. Tom

I would stake a guess that 50% of the corn was still standing, some of it as a failed crop. I'm hoping that all the birds we did not see were hiding in there. If you are going to get a point or flush a bird in the field, it's more often a hen than a rooster. The absence of hens was perplexing...

What a great sister-in-law. I wish I had more pictures of all my past labs.

I returned to Denver Saturday night after 3 days hunting and scouting western Nebraska. Starting from scratch after not hunting this area since 2019, I started scouting/hunting as soon as I crossed the CO/NE line on Hwy 23 just past Venango. I was working toward Ogallala where I had 2 nights...

Thanks BC

I'll be in that same area Tuesday and Wednesday next week. I'm not sure where I will stay yet. It's just a chance to get Brady and 8 mo old Tucker out to see how controllable he is--and to check motel manors. I need to decide if I am taking him to SoDak the next week Tom

Good suggestions boys. I did order a cheap belt phone holder to try out-have not yet. I do know a local tailor to talk to. Or maybe my wife. Tom

Do they happen to have a cargo pocket for a cell phone? I've been unsuccessfully looking for a pair of brush pants with a cell phone pocket for several years. Tom

If you're looking for a Citori Feather, have someone check the actual weight. The Browning catalogs often showed unrealistic weights.

Good luck with the doctor visits.

YIKES. A little spendy indeed.

I have on pair for cross country skiing and one pair for hunting. They are the best that I have found.

I just ordered a medium skid plate for puppy Tucker. He is thinner than Brady who wears a Large, and Parker used to wear an XL. I thought I remembered that in the past Mendota offered regular width and narrow but their website now lists just S, M, L, and XL and no width choices. I also picked up...

One of the justifications I use to my checkbook when joining a group going to SD when will be paying to shoot is "It's for the dogs". My "home hunting field" is Eastern Colorado. My labs and I do a whole lot of walking for few shots and retrieves Going to SD for them is like going to Disneyland...

Wolfchief, I grew up in Rockford and hunted as a kid for pheasants with my Dad at a friend of his farm near Byron, just south of Rockford. Going to school at U of I in Champaign I had a couple of great trips with fraternity buds to hunt around Bloomington where they were from. I saw more birds...

I usually start with IC/M with #5 lead at 1220 in my Win 101(fair weather gun) and the same shells in IC in my Maxus (foul weather), both 12 g. I will tighten up if the only shots are longer range. Tom
