    Recovery Powder

    We are always challenged by age and genetics, trying to easily overcome the genetic deficiencies. Haven’t come across the perfect canine specimen yet. I use supplements for my senior dogs and myself, trying to slow the aging process. How old were we made to live ?

Might need to sedate dog depending on numbers or location of quills. When removing quills make sure to safely dispose of them so they don’t end up on your...

    Bells on flushers

    Many a Kansas rooster froze upon hearing the bell and flushed and died. Roosters referred to bells as a ding-a-ling death. They never really understood and generations died never comprehending the danger of a dog with a bell. Those CRP fields were 40 to 320 acres and chest to shoulder high. A...

    Rain, cold and windy, just not fun even if I put roosters out of their misery. It should be fun. I learned something after sixty years of chasing them.

    How to manage this?

    In a pinch I have used Chapstick and carry two with me. Since I never use the shell loops for shells, put Chapstick in there and small tubes of eye ointment. I keep the Mushers in my vet kit.

    2nd Trip

    Our group would get there the Sunday night of opening weekend and hunt the next four days. Never saw another hunter. Absolutely the best people. Access was almost always granted. Large grassy CRP fields are what we hunted. Your dog’s nose was tested and required persistent tracking. Work the...
