    Moisture coming….

    Oh gosh- that’s a lot of snow!! I hate that- it seems like they get way too much or just too dry. I thought we were in the clear with the snow this winter! ….I hope everyone fairs ok along with the birds. ND is my favorite state to hunt by far!

    Training birds

    I’ll second Kismet. Pigeons are the way to go! Very hardy, flighty. They won’t disappoint. Game birds are great… wild ones anyway!! Pen raised birds not so much. Don’t always work the way they are supposed to. They are hard to care for too. Pigeons are easy. I have about 20 homers I keep in an...

    Garmin Sport Pro

    This is my current tgt collar. I’ve been working two collars off it for 6 years. It’s been flawless. It’s easy and fast to operate( the simplicity makes a difference when working multiple collars in the field). Holds a charge well. I use the vibrate as a recall command- the garmin “vibrate” is...

    Chaffing between toes on GSP

    size has nothing to do with it. Sounds like he's pretty "flat" footed-my 70 # female looks like she is wearing high heels, her feet are tight and dont spread at all. I dont even have to boot this dog most times we are in sand spur country. My brother's 45 # female is very flat footed-she has a...

    A true triple?

    3 seasons ago, in SD upon returning to town for the night , I passed a crep field where a combine was pulling onto the road where he just cut the cornfield right next to it. It was already getting dark…. Hmmm- I know where I’m hunting tommorrow morning! Next morning I head back to that same...

We finished...

    Texas public land opening weekend

    Really good to hear Quailnerd. I think we may have a few more birds than the counts claim. Still, Not a good year by any means, but enough to work a dog that needs it.
