    Dog Journal

    I bought a nice leather bound journal last summer with my name engraved on it and took it with me to SD. Made myself record each days events including where, what dogs, land owners we may have visited and such in it. Also put a little sub note with how many I killed of the total versus how many...

    HB 1236 Safety Zone Increase

    Everything below in what you posted is in reference to Road rights-of-way. In other words surrounding means the 660 feet surrounding the property that is in the road right of way. Not everything in a 660 foot circumference of the house as your interpretation is implying.

    Shed dogs ?

    Been a good 3 days. 6-6-10 including 3 matched sets today of deer we let walk this year with high hopes for next year. 2 sets were already chewed but the biggest set shown below was pristine as it was out on a grass lane.

    Shed dogs ?

    I didn’t do any special training really. Carey a horn in the truck and when we head out let them smell it and such. Some days they are more in to it then others and if the wood cock are migrating they are much more interested in finding those then horns. I figure any they find are bonus. Shed...

    Shed dogs ?

    My ESS’s go shed hunting with me. It depends on the year but they find 5-12 a year typically. Via smell mostly but also some visual on large ones. There have been a few I would have never found if it wasn’t for them.

    Pheasants - Cold?

    For the areas of SD I frequent I am not worried. There has been cold and some snow but no major ice that will negatively impact birds IMO. I expect if we get a good spring the hatch will show some very good numbers. Lots needs to happen between now and next fall obviously but winter kill, at...

    O/U Which Barrel?

    I agree with both parts of this. Only time I’ve shot top first is with Browning and due to their barrel selector and the propensity for it to slide to the middle and hang up on me if it was selected for bottom.

    Pointer or flusher debate

    I think what you are asking is almost impossible to answer. My guess would be that there are many pointers here that do really well with repositioning and staying on running birds and some that point where the bird was. I am partial to flushers since that is what I have always had. This may...

    Let’s talk boots (older crowd on here)

    Have never had issue with Wingshooter boots. Buddy and I each bought Meindl and not been happy with them at all. One pair returned after 9 days of hunting. Not sure what I will do when time comes for the next pair.

    Shooting Woes - Help Needed

    That is most likely the best solution but made the decision to not go down that road.
