85lb lab from MS (very rarely gets in below 25deg here) that stays inside. We hunted 8"-12" of snow last year with no vest or boots and she didnt seem to mind going barefoot on the snow, but the ambient temps were in the low 20s to low 30s. I am scheduled to arrive in SD Thursday to 40deg...

do you hunt with dogs in this kind of weather, and if so, do they wear any gear to prtect them from the wind and bitter cold? thanks.

you calling Terry Redlin is a slob hunter?

two years ago i was working through some thick and tall grass and stepped into a gopher hole all the way up to my knee. i didn't fight it and fell all the way to the ground, which probably spared a nasty injury to my knee. i did, however, tweak my back that apparently has a bulgin disc and give...

for reference, what size is your dog wearing in this pic? thanks,

Where is best place to get the Rex Specs?

after looking images of both on the google machine, the ones we ran into looked more like the Burdock than a cocklebur. much bigger than a cocklebur. about the same size as a sweet gum ball, and had much more "cling" to it as far as the dog's coat and our flannel shirts and denim trousers...

tell me about those googles. the last day of our recent hunt, my lab looked like her eyes had been scratched out by limbs and some kind of hellacious sticker-balls after she went through in a thick shelter belt. she came out with bright red blood completetly around both eyes, and her coat was...

very similar shape, but i didnt notice any colored markings on the face, since they flew by in a flash. it was about 8-10 birds together. they were about the size of a small hen pheasant.

I expect on-site lodging on or very near private hunting grounds during early-to-mid-season fetches a premium over an AirBnB or motel/hotel in a nearby town. a couple years ago, I stayed at a "package deal" commercial outfitter in KS who provided 2-night stay, 2-day hunt for $500 a day that...

while on our recent pheasant hunt in SD doing some late evening scouting in unfamiliar territory near chamberlain, we got buzzed by a group of birds out of a that flushed out of a grass field near the gravel road we were driving. when they were briefly flying beside the truck, they all had...

where are you located?

Just got back from our public land hunt in SD. We left Vicksburg MS at 3:30am Sunday 10/27 and met my cousin at Perkins in Yankton at 6:30pm on our way to Mitchell. 2nd night, we ate at Cattleman’s club in Mitchell because its an annual tradition. 3rd night we made pheasant and sausage...

ive been once in early december and twice in late january. the temps have ranged anywhere from 7 to mid 50's and winds from 5-10mpy up to 20-25mph with 30mph gusts. two years ago, we caught an unseasonably warm weekend for late january, and last year we arrived to find shin-to-knee-deep snow...

i got my lab puppy at 8 weeks in december 2020. after i brought her home, I played fetch with her with tennis balls and pheasant wings for several weeks. at 4 months, I took her our to some hay fields that had knee to waist high grass and worked her on a lead, using pen raised quail tethered to...

What symptoms manifested to lead you to discovering Sage had a holein her lung?

if you were going to be by yourself or with other females, i'd say go for it. with other neutered males along, it could make for a uncomfortable and chaotic experience in the field, and where ever y'all are staying it the evening. I took mine who came into her first heat cycle the weekend...
