    This afternoon

    When hunting public it does seem that the majority of birds harvested are young. After months of hunting lots of those young birds are gone. Another factor is the birds are now months older then they were in the beginning so will be bigger. The birds we harvested yesterday probably weren't...

    This afternoon

    Yes and 1 other observation about our hunt is they were all young birds we shot. I was thinking they were small as they came into me and I pass shot the 1. No flare nares all wild birds. I guess the older birds have escaped hunters for months or years so ....

    Kennel dogs and house dogs

    I believe many dogs get their reputation and deservedly so because of how they are raised. Some of the dogs like vdds and wirehairs are raised for the German tests and high prey drive , and the fur drive are deemed essential. Those dogs tend to be hunting dogs not great in the house pets. That...

    Well my weims are 65 to 75lbs so I reference off that not your Brittany. Not bashing just explaining. Spend time around a few breeders and you will see there are 2 camps as to size. This is true in almost all breeds. 50 lb labs and 75 lb labs. 40 Vizlas and 60lb Vizlas. And so on. If the dogs...

    Small Munsterlander

    I think they are nice little dogs. 2 things I don't like...Their coat will require maintenance. I like a bigger dog. The small size is good for the office. The coat when maintained, is awesome. There seems to be 2 different "frames" of the Small Munsterlander so look into that.

    Sub-Zero Temps Worth The Trip?

    No weekend reports?

    It is common knowledge that South Dakota has the best pheasant hunting in the U.S.. Covid got people back out hunting and many got dogs or spent a little time training theirs. We have had mostly mild weather which has made for more late season hunters and allowed the birds to spread out rather...

    Game warden question

    So we don't know what the game warden meant by his buy a license comment. So if you really question this call the department and see what their take is. It's like the story about the woman in a boat reading a book. The game warden pulls up to the boat and upon seeing fishing gear asks to see...

    Rabbits

    My male did chase 1 big whitetail buck after they got into a scrap in the bottom of the draw. Took me a second to figure out was happening as the dog was running that deer down 300 yards out in a plowed field. I yelled no and nicked him. He turned and trotted back as I apologized to the out of...

    New private ground

    I went to visit my nephew in Iowa and I commented how good the area looked for wildlife. He said yes it is pretty good for pheasants and unbelievable for whitetail. I need to clarify my nephew has been pheasant and deer hunting for 20+ years and shoots quite well. He has never shot a combine ...
