    Good game management

    I know this isn't exactly how most of us hunt but check out this driven red grouse shoot and those flights of birds! Great game management in those hills I'd say.:cheers: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZ35cL2g8Bo

    Parlor tricks

    Yep, springer dogs can do them too but for us it's bad bad bad! :cool: JP was on a full run when he caught scent of the hen who hid her nest from me and produced 8 chicks inside the shop. He held this long enough (4 or 5 mins before I yelled at him) even Setternut could get ready for a shot if...

    Boundary waters cast and blast?

    I've been dreaming about vacations lately and they all seem to involve either bass fishing or bird hunting so a cast and blast trip seems like a no brainer. Is a cast and blast trip for smallies and grouse feasible in the boundary waters?

    A new quail hound?

    Here's my new baby, an ornery little jack girl named Flirt. Will she turn out to be a worthy quail hound? Only time and birds will tell.:cheers:

    New spotted bass world record?

    http://www.bassmaster.com/news/new-world-record-spotted-bass# It's not official yet but it looks like an new world record came out of one of my favorite lakes. I knew one of the "mother load" lakes would pull through with the record and New Melones did it. I was just a few miles away fishing...

    Artists

    I know we have discussed some of our favorite artists in the past and I showed off my Dave Allred quail sculpture but I thought it would be fun to rehash some of our favorites. I just stumbled upon an artist by the name of Dean Crouser and I must say his water colors are awesome. Enjoy.

    My new toy!

    erybody needs a new toy every now and then so I picked up this bad boy today. I always wanted a Meyers Manx but this knock off will have to do. It needs a little attention before it's road worthy but I should have it on the street in a week or so and then on some mountain trails.:cheers:

    On our way to disaster?

    Look around, the mountains aren't white and the reservoirs are dry. If we don't get some moisture soon we are going to be in bad shape. The farmers cry for water deliveries but keep replacing row crops with permanent crops and are breaking new ground every year.:confused: Groundwater overdraft...

    The rooster dog strikes again

    Well even after almost a month on the couch JP came out in typical fashion and put on a clinic. He put up 3 roosters and a few hens in just a couple hours. My brother connected on his shot but I wiffed on mine after a very nice trail by JP. I'm not sure how I got so lucky to get such an awesome...

    Good deal on AyA 4/53

    I was skimming through some listings and came across what seems to be a sweet deal on a 16ga AyA 4/53 "Bill Hanus bird gun" and thought maybe someone here may be interested. Its listed as NIB but is around $1000 less than other 4/53's. Maybe I'm missing something but if not this maybe a steal...

    A ? for pheasant pluckers

    I took the time today to pluck 2 birds and I must say they're the best I've ever done but when you're done plucking you end up with a nice birds with a lot of little "hairs" left if you know what I mean. I've cooked them in the past with these hairs left on but what is the best way to get rid of...

    Thanksgiving trip

    Well as my trip winds down I thought I'd share a little of what I've seen. We are hunting about 500mi north of home just on the edge of the Oregon border. The folks up here are very nice and the hunters were very helpful to my brother and I. Birds? Yeah there are quite a few, we saw more in our...

    Look what came in the mail

    I honestly don't remember ordering this so why would they want to torture me by sending me a catolog to drool over? I guess I've been on the website to many times eyeing a rbl16.:D

    Why hunt?

    Here is a cool video made by Ca waterfowl association. These guys do a lot of upland nesting habitat work as well which benefits our pheasants. I've never shot a duck but I've witnessed flights like the ones showed in the video in the Nor Cal rice country and its quite a sight seeing flights of...

    Hot and dry opener

    Those were the conditions today, dry dry dry! The dogs put up a hen no more than 30yds from the truck and I thought it was going to be a good day until I realized how poor the scenting conditions were.:( At about 10:30 JP cut a track and trailed a bird well over 100yds to the end of the field...

    Making (improving) quail habitat

    I almost got sick this morning when I was told I would be mowing our river this morning since its a spot I can go move a covey or two at if I only have a few hours to spare. All I could think about were those coveys who would have no cover left to call home and as soon as I got there I had a...

    just an idea

    Some threads on here are re hashed over and over so I was thinking maybe someone could find the very best of these, you know, the ones where discussion gets real heated, and sticky them so they're easy for newbies to find. Off the top of my head. Best dog breed Best dog food Does SD release...
