So funny. My lab just finished her 8th season. Went to ND hunted hard, I walked 6+ miles per day, and she never took a walk off. She's the only dog I had. Everybody told me I couldn't go to ND, SD etc with one dog? Well, it appears to me that if you don't have a lab you keep in good condition...

Here’s my new pup “Good Lord Lorrie.” Got her this weekend from Blaine Winans at Winans Retriever Kennels. Blaine specializes in British Labs and I think he’s doing a nice job breeding and training. Excited to see what this little dumplin turns into.

So I have an 8yr old female Lab, a little Shi Tzu and I'm bring home a new Lab puppy next weekend. Anybody have any advise or suggestions on introducing the new pup to the keepers of the home? They all live inside. I know dogs can be territorial....wondering if any of you have a common practice...

I'll never go back to hunting without a dog again but I did for years. You'd be surprised. In order to get close enough for a shot you must be very quiet. Flushes are very close and if you get out front and shoot them where they're going you'll lose very few because they will be stone dead when...

Good Reading so far....Here's my two cents: I would do my best to find some ground near food, be it corn, beans or food plots etc...I'd hunt edges as near as I could to food. We all want to find a small parcel to hunt alone but tbh, I rarely do well at these and I believe it's because we ALL...

Couldn't agree more. My dog LOVES her crate. Travels like a champ. Gets right out and does her business when we stop and jumps right back in.

I've had my lab in her mud river kennel for 8 years. She lays with her nose near the door so I always Just leave maybe 6'' unzipped down at the bottom when it's 30's or colder. Not unusual for her to spend 12-14 hours in it while driving out to SD. She's an inside dog at home so I'm not...

Agreed.

I consistently kill birds at 40 with a 20 gauge IC choke. The key is, when you can, get out front. shoot them where they're going not where they've been. Sometimes they don't provide you the angle you need to hit the head? When that happens even a 12 gauge doesn't get the job done a lot of the...

Ive been drawn 3 times in about 30-35 years of applying

Love it!

fajitas....any recipe you'd use for chicken fajitas. we made them on a blackstone out on the prairie for lunch a few weeks ago.

I don't disagree. I'm not arguing that trees are good or bad? But I sure see a lot of pheasants in and around trees.

I'm nowhere near an expert? I know nothing. But I do know that a certain landowner we hunt on in SD has an owl living in her wooded area by her house along with about 200 pheasants....ALL THE TIME. If that owl was that much of a threat, why do those pheasants stay there? Before someone asks...

I've shot hundreds of shots over my Lab hunting....but thunder or fireworks? she's in the house in a corner....weird

I have, for years, moved right past anything posted by Goose. He reminds me of someone who peaked in jr high and is still using the same jokes....probably wears affliction shirts.

What do you guys do with your birds when your on vacation for several days? We've been cleaning them at days end, bagging them with a wing, and if available freezing them till we get home. I'd rather not keep them in the freezer with a wing attached. Anybody ever just keep them on ice for...

Once a rooster gets up and shots are fired....talking probably doesn't matter as much? But in my mind when hunting wild bird on public land, you really need to be as stealth as possible. It's def a pet peave of mine when guys are walking thru good cover sounding like a carnival barker.

To me, it's all about obedience or handling. I don't care if your dog can hunt? But you need to be able to control it and that starts when they first come home. That should happen before they ever go hunting
