Easy winter, but cold wet spring so?

Well? The brood counts should be out shortly and what are you locals seeing. I talked to a farmer where I hunt and he thought it looked good, however another one thought the cold spring was hard on the chicks.

I do think it will affect us in some ways. There are a lot of stories about migratory bird hunters having their dogs bring back more than they shot. Some of those sick birds will infect some pheasants, probably not to a great extent since pheasants don’t flock up for the most part and are not...

At my age and with my dogs it is priceless.

like others have said primarily safety. I have also trained in multiple venues including obedience and agility but when even a close working dog like mine step on a deer or jack rabbit they will chase no matter how well trained they are. I bought my first e collar the day after I almost lost a...

The block program is probably the best run private land open to the public program of any state. If you have habitat and corresponding game you get more hunters. If you have crappy habitat you won’t get as many hunters. I do think that MT will have to go the way of their neighbors to the east...

Ahmm is that one of those pointy dogs still on the dock?

As usual I will be doing the MT/ND trip this fall. Probably earlier this year as it looks like I will have a pup to pick up in early October. Than heading south, maybe Nebraska, but definitely going to try for desert quail more this year.

Smoking salmon tomorrow which will go in a box with halibut to the farmer who let me hunt last couple years. Hope he likes fish.

Could he use his ski boat as down payment?

I’m searching under the couch pillows shortly. At least I will find dog toys

Now that is bad karma. I have found them and north of the river. And that was in October.

Heck that’s way better than some motel rooms I have stayed at. And a lot cleaner.

Stayed in Eureka at the Lakewood inn for many years. Hunting was good, not great but very decent. All public. Back then lots of okay public and got better with snow and colder temps.

Now that is not a bad idea. I was gonna leave some to the Golden Retriever Club. Maybe expand on that idea.

Goose that was a mirror. Good to have you back.

So a relative normal spring or some questionable weather? The little fuzz balls should be showing now.

So I travel a lot. Mostly I prefer to use a trailer, but sometimes I can’t. There was a motel where I looked under the bed. I left the dogs in the car and slept in my clothes on top of the bed, maybe 5 hours before I left. Than a friend was hunting with his wife and she slept with the dog...

I don't want to ask how you know.

I haven’t hunted Iowa but have hunted public in multiple other states. One man one dog even when I have been in a group. I am not a fan of blocking and driving but to each their own. I usually try to avoid the first 9 days of season in any state, not a fan of crowds. Only one dog would be my...
