    Getting Old Sucks

    Trigger finger? Maybe PBR cans are harder opening now. I think a lot of us have had knee surgery, part of the price of having an active lifestyle.

    Enough hunting sortof

    Not too hard this year. I move a lot, seldom hunt the same place twice. Only once this year was I back to the car with a limit in under an hour. I also never went back to that spot, will next year though. The first few weeks in MT and ND were tough, they need valet parking at some places. Some...

    No budget really. Just what speaks to me at the time. A classic would be wasted on me. I don’t need to spend $20,000 but I don’t want to cheap out with something I have to fight. I mean I run Goldens so I already have class.

    So the wife says you haven’t bought a gun in a while. So I have to fix that and not disappoint her. I was thinking of getting a 16 O/U or maybe a sxs. Why, because there’s only 12s and 20s in the safe. Anything I get will be a working gun, it will get scratches and dents because well I fall...

    Training program for Goldens?

    Obedience than once they have the adult teeth a forced fetch. Use what birds you can get to start them on. I use ducks and pigeons because they are in my freezer. I do marks as in duck hunting although I mostly upland hunt. They learn to use their nose with marks.

    Dogs over 10

    I have a golden female who Will turn 16 next month. I would hunt for an hour or less in shortish cover. She is totally deaf so I worry about losing her. Shot several roosters over her this year. I also have a 12 year old who is just starting to slow, also going deaf. I still hunted him in tall...

    Golden retriever only photos

    I have had a couple blonde Goldens that were great hunters. In fact I have one that will be 16 in February that I still shot birds over this fall. All my younger ones are red, more the field lines. I got the blonde ones out of a kennel in New York, don’t know if they are still active, they were...

    AZ quail

    So every campground has a couple covies which the dogs are supposed to ignore while we put on miles for a couple birds out in the field. I wouldn’t be surprised if one of the dogs just looses it one day and woofs one down under a picnic table.

    Rabbits

    Back in the day before e-collars I had one stubborn dog that every year I had to shoot one and clobber him with it. Worked for the season and had to repeat every year. Now a gentle tap on the tone works wonders.

    When was the golden age of pheasant hunting?

    I guess that is where you are referring to. My relatives would say the soil bank days in the Dakotas. If you look at the harvest records they are probably right. For me when CRP first started going those were the prime days. Late 80s, 90s were unbelievable. The early 00s were good also. Since...
