I found that sending for the BMA access guide is a big help. It list all BMA land and what type. Type 1 has a sign in box, just sign and go hunt, type 2 you have to get a slip from land owner/manager and may have limits or restrictions. I also suggest a hunt app such as ONXMAPS it is a HUGE...

I don’t know that MN plants fields for dove hunting, but a few people I know do hunt doves in MN. Small grain isn’t as prevalent as it used to be but if you scout and can find some freshly harvested fields and get land owner permission you should do well.

Labs. I suggest investing in an app like ONX hunt. You can see all public areas and then mark the ones you are interested in. Then do some scouting prior to the season to see what habitat looks like and near by crops etc. I use it all the time in several states and it really saves some window time.

Here’s what I found online

Hello, if I’d was a new to pheasant hunter and wanted a chance at birds my first trip, I would start looking for guide that would take me and my dogs out on his ground. I would not do a hunt at a lodge and get stuck in a group. Huron and Aberdeen would be places to start. Look on line for...

My misses has a Sport dog brand collar for her westie. He weighs about the same as your dog. It has tone, vibrate and correction. She uses the tone button when he is focused on something else, that’s usually all it takes for him.

Nope, not yet. Standing stone kennels has some videos on you tube about doing it. His dog never flinched

I don’t hunt birds out by the deer stand as it’s a swamp. Even with the latest cold snap it all doesn’t freeze solid. People have tried and it didn’t go well. I enjoy hunting pheasants and watching the dog work as well. Deer season is only a week long in my zone, and some days I’ll sit in the...

Out by my deer stand. Obviously no ones hunts birds out there

On my person, snare cutter, needle nose, blood clotter, gauze pads, wound wrap, black tape, wood dowl with 550 cord(to aid in removing conibear or in mouth to aid quill removal), saline, leash and. In the truck iodine, wound stapler, large saline, nail trimmer, scissor, baking soda, hydrogen...

Not sure if every dog would do it, but my gsp (60lb) lays down flat to get the the level of the westy (18lb). It kind of levels the field as the rough house.

Currently-13 with -31 wind chill..... Overnight supposed to be-24 again... was -24 with a wind chill of -48 when I let the dogs out this morning

Yes, they play together in and out of the house. Just stop any unwanted behaviors as soon as they come up. But when I was doing basic training the with hunting dogs I did it away from the lap dogs in the beginning. So I had the pups full attention. Later on I used the lapdog as a distraction...

Iowa, You won’t have a problem if you are consistent with the rules for the pup. I had labs, currently a gsp and the misses always has a lap dog, she has a westy now. The lap dog is allowed on the bed and the big dog is not. No issues with the gsp on furniture either. I don’t allow my puppies do...

Thanks all, I’m still looking. Getting hands on guns to see what fits is hard to do with most shelves being empty!!

Beretta 686.

I’ve seen it many times over the years. Some times you think it’s a pure miss or maybe you think you tickled it. I try to watch all birds as long as I can see them. Our group in ND had several just drop three or four hundred yards away. I had a “miss”in Montana this year that went over the hill...

CONGRATULATIONS!! That a nice tail!! I’ve never shot one over twenty five.

I’m seeing more hunters this year also. I thought I sneak out Thursday for a short hunt at about 11am, first four wpa’s I checked had hunters in them. Saturday went farther west and saw lots of hunters out. I’m several hours from the cities so I don’t think the groups I’m seeing during the week...
