Everybody will view this differently. When I lived in Iowa I never hunted when either the weather was bad, or about to become bad! I was retired and hunted most every day of the season, (weather permitting). I felt the birds had it bad enough without me making it worse. Do what your conscience...

chad.vis: just curious, why are you hunting pointers & flushers together? Or are the labs pointing labs?

Jonmac, just remember Murphy's law? Your female will come into heat for 3 weeks during phez season (?). You will lose one or the other of your dogs during this time.

I hunted multiple dogs for many years, both same sex, so no problems. Went on out of state trip with friend who had a female, I brought a young male. The female was in heat (unbeknownst to either of us). My male would not hunt at all, he only had love on mind. Could not use him at all. Was a...

Beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.

Two recipes: 1st.) Creamed pheasant on toast. Just make a cream sauce add phez. and put over toast. 2nd.) cut phez breast into bitesize cubes. Dredge in Italian breadcrumbs, and fry in olive oil.

Bob, don't know about other studies, but it's a known fact that pheasants will renest if brood is lost. Each succeeding brood will be smaller by a fair percentage, (50-60%).

When I lived in Iowa, hunted snow's alot. Pretty exciting to see a flock of thousands coming in. My wife made goose stew, which was excellent. Good luck this season, my hunting days are over,ALAS.

Any time spent out with pups, is a good time.

Another vote for Danner Pronghorns. Best comfort boot I ever had.

Go to the VDD/GNA website. It will list all the available litters and any upcoming ones. Wealth of info. I had Drats for over twenty years, all VDD dogs. Best of luck.

Back in the day, hunted almost exclusively, phez. Hunted waterfowl (not alot) until phez season opened. Shot a few turkeys during phez season. Was funnier than hell watching dogs try to retrieve a big turkey. Very, very, little deer.

Shot one, and dogs killed one.

Had two that were always hard to choose. Browning Liege, or Merkel 203SL.

Well, Browing Superposed go aways back. Not sure how vintage you want? Browning first made the Superposed in 1931. We're coming up on 100 yrs. old, that's pretty vintage to me. Best of luck in your search.

I was lucky. Had a phenomenal dog on cripples. Lost very, very, few. Not always but depending on how I had been doing, a lost crippled bird was counted as part of bag limit.

I'll echo everyone. Have a great Christmas, and a happy new year. May there be a bird in the air at all times!!

Love stories like above!!!

Hunting with 3-4 others on a small creek a rooster & a drake mallard got up at the exact same time. Shot the mallard first, then the rooster. Only time in my life anything like that happened. Anybody else have unusual doubles?

Usually used Federal copper 6's, never a problem.
