I have a small bear shaped plastic bottle that has a hole in the top and you can squeeze out the honey. It sometimes depends on how cold it is out and how well I can get the honey out. Hard to quantify. I lift her side lip and put it on her gums and then she licks it. Maybe a couple inches...

The thick bladed wetland grasses (not sure what they are called) are so thick this year that I wonder if the birds can stay out of the rain by merely tucking into that? Of course, if you don't have that on the property you are hunting, then weedy thickets are still the ticket.

Take what I am saying as just another hunter, not as a vet or anything. In theory, the standard corn syrup (not high fructose corn syrup) should be pretty much all glucose and will spike blood sugar and cause a large insulin release if given when the dog isn't exercising. However, if given...

That's rough. Wondering if bees honey would be a slower glucose boost. Or are you using light corn syrup?

Lost style points for shooting one of the spurs too.

Hills should be illegal.

That standing corn has definitely affected early season this year. I am also wondering if the abundance of good cover, due to the rain and warmth this summer, is allowing them to spread out. The cover might allow more to make it through the winter too.

I think wearing an orange shit under the vest will give you some bonus points with the officers, even if the vest isn't 100% regulation. But now that you have a warning, they might not let the vest pass next time if it's the same officer and they remember you.

Today's public land report: One more rooster won't be flirting with the hens in SC MN. In 9 miles hiked, some in nasty cover, we got 4 roosters into the air. Downed the first one and he must have hit the ground running. Looked for 50 minutes. Got the next. Missed the next due to a...

Oh no! Sorry to hear that. Congrats on the birds though. I didn't see a single Woodcock in the woods, but have seen several pheasant hunting. No plug in the gun now, so can't shoot em.

Agreed. That would require some nits to be picked.

Bases covered if there is a badger hiding in the thicket too!

If a place has a number of thickets, and it is winter, and especially if windy/snowing, two guys together, going on each side of the thickets can be a huge advantage. Question was about flushes, but if you have pointers, change the 2 guys to 3 guys when it comes to thickets. So frustrating to...

Congrats on the harvest and great October photo.

Honey chased down a running hen on opening Sunday. I had seen a bird of prey a short while before. Sure enough, it swooped in toward the hen. The hen dropped into some sparse willow with deep swamp grasses. The hawk veered and started to drop and then swooped back up. Saved by cover.

My take... Hunting close allows for more shots on a bird, a greater chance a wild flush will be seen and shot at, and a greater chance of cripple recoveries. Hunting apart will probably find more total birds, assume both dogs are equally adept.

He said it was enough. I am saying there is a chance, if I measured, the non-orange at the top, if taller than 6 inches, it could be out of compliance, barely.

Thursday. Little more corn out, but still not great. Hot and sunny out (75), but 18 mph average wind where we were hunting. Flubbed a chance at a double (got neither), but got one later (first year bird). Could have had an almost colorless youngster if he would have tried his pitiful cackle...

Rumor has it the Iowa farmers aren't fans of it, even though it is legal? In Minnesota, it depends on the municipality. Without knowing the local property laws, there would be a risk of trespassing. You can shoot from the road (for non-big game, and on non-interstate roads) so you could...
