    2023 Season Pictures of Birds, Guns And Dogs

    Hey all, good day today. Went out solo after Mass, to an area about a mile from the house. Saw quite a few birds, hens held real well. Roosters were a bit wild, but Addie held the ones I got. Was lucky to get a double also. The one bird that's wet.....is a another story. To long to tell...

    2023 Season Pictures of Birds, Guns And Dogs

    Hi, thanks for the kind words! The vest is for protection and also for keeping track of her. Both Raina and Addie like to bust brush, they're not afraid to get into the thick stuff. Trying to avoid injuries, which they have gotten over the years. Thanks again! Greg

    Opening Day

    Hey Paul, possibly. Really don't know. Could be the first hatch failed and they re-nested. We had a late spring after a very hard winter. Best, Greg

    Opening Day

    Hey all, had a good opener. I was able to limit, son Jim dropped a leg on one that glided deep into the cattails. Saw a lot of hens. A lot of the Roosters were just changing color. The birds were a bit wild, even the young ones. Addie really did well, very happy with that pooch. Weather...

    Crowing counts up

    Saw that today. To be honest, I was a bit surprised. The winter we had was one of the worst we've had in 20 some years. We've had a decent spring, short as it was. A tad hot, but with a good amount of rain. The brood counts will give a better picture of what the season may bring. Thank...

    Upland Adventure

    Hi, you can find all these birds pretty much all over the state. The very eastern part will be tough. Anywhere west of the Missouri River, both north and south of I 94 will be your best bet. Huns are pretty much a bonus bird when hunting pheasants. Just remember that the cover/territory...

    Spring Has Arrived!

    Hey all, well after a looong winter, spring has sprung. We got a lot of rain the last 2 days and that with the snow melt (BTW, there is still some snow hanging around in the shelter belts and in the hills) should have enough ground moisture to get the prairie grasses growing for nestling...

    Winter 2022/23

    Sorry to get back to you so late. My apologies. Anyway, I live south of Mandan in a small farm town off ND Hwy 6. Still have snow in the yard and off the Hwy where it drifted in heavy. G&F did their aerial survey for deer. Down about 50% in the area where we hunt in unit 2J2. Not good...

    Winter 2022/23

    Got more snow and wind last week. Missed the record by a 1/2". Had some drifts by the house, we got more snow by us than Bismarck. So....guess we hit the record. Temps still way below normal. Who know when it will warm up here! Stay well my friends! Greg

    Another Blizzard

    Well, another blizzard tomorrow and the day after. Heavy snow and very high winds = winter kill and more damage to the wildlife population. The drifting will be the big issue. We had a nice melt so the birds could get at some food, but with this one it's going to be tough for a few days. The...

    Winter 2022/23

    Hey all, just thought I'd give you my impression of this winter. It can be summed up in two words: IT SUCKS! We're getting hit hard this year, so far the third worst winter in recent memory. We're only about 8 inches away from breaking the 96/97 winter. And guess what? We'll more than...
