Just out of courosity, I'd like to read some opinions about a common problem described not only in posts on this forum, but personally experienced by either I or one or more of my hunting partners every year. In mid November after a long duck season, I spent a 3day weekend chasing pheasants. On...

Going out tomorrow through sat but realize that I'm going to have to knock on doors while in the past I had plenty of choices of public to subliment my limited private access....Wow. I knew that the amount of WIA has dropped over the past few years, but today was the first day I actually took...

Hi all, Anyone hear or experience the conditions and bird numbers on the I-90 corridor around Kennebec, Presho, Murdo this year? I'm heading up over Thanksgiving week with my 1 yr old lab for a week (lost my 13 yr old "lab of a lifetime this past winter, to deaf to get out of the way of a...

I have a one year old, energetic lab that I've been working hard to get ready for the upcoming duck and upland season. He's working close enough in, with the need to occasionally bump him with the collar when he ranges to far out. My wife hikes up the mountain on which we live everyday and wants...

My lab was going great this past weekend, took a long walk through fresh cut corn and a few CRP corners at temps in mid 60s. Knew enough to bring water and a collapsible bowl with me on the walk. Half way through I filled the bowl but he wouldn't drink, even when "forced". So I wetted him down...

I did post this with some trepidation, the last post i shared last season received a rude response, one that soured me on the site for quite awhile. Well, here's hoping for some class. Took my nephews (and their dad) out this Friday-Sunday to north eastern Colorado, one of which has been with...

Looking for a pointing lab whose training I can finish up, or even maybe consider a finished dog if price is right. Would of liked to start fresh but put off getting a pup for too long. My 12 yr old lab is in great shape for his age, will be fine for half day local duck hunts, but has gotten...

My first hunting lab has reached the age where he is slowing down considerably. I acquired him from a DU acution and through sheer luck, determination and daily training sessions down by the river bottom close to home, he turned into a damn fine retriever. Now I need to start bringing along a...

Love my black lab but he just turned 11 and is beginning to show signs of slowing. I am leaning towards a pointing lab but my wife hates the dog hair in the house and I hate the idea of my hunting buddy living in a pen. Does anyone know any first hand knowledge on reliable breeders of hunting...

im sure that we all have one of " those" days, mine was Wednesday morning. dang, how many times do I have to relearn this lesson? Went out with my 12 year old lab and started getting into birds, 7 in a row flushed and missed and one butt shot and kept going. The first 3 or 4 i laughed off, then...

was heading up to Presho for Thanksgiving holiday but everyone in my group (5 others) bagged out on me. has anyone been hunting around there this year, I'm trying to figure out if the 12 hour drive by myself would be worth it? Long way to go without someone to share the driving with but I do so...

Learned a wealth of great news this week. #1 is that of the 6 young people that I have had the pleasure to help mentor in their development into young adults over the past decade (through bird hunting of course) 4 are still wildly involved in the sport. two of these kiddos came hunting with me...

Ok all, I find that my cooking skills are measurably worse than my shooting skills (which can be improved upon considerably). I've been fixing my game the same way for years and there is something about searching for recipes on the Internet that just does not work out for me. Idealy, I would...

Took my nephew out the two days after Christmas last week on his first pheasant hunt on WIA's and a buddies family farm out in eastern CO. Nephew lives on the Western slope but makes it out for a couple of weekends of Duck hunting each year, however the only pheasant experience he has had is...

Good luck this weekend to all. buddy with northeast CO farm says lots of birds around but all his and most of his neighbors corn still up. Heading up there when he gives the go ahead. Hitting north west and a little bit central Kansas this weekend, drought hit em' hard but still a fair number of...

I usually spend 10-12 days a year in southwest ks around Lakin, however this year looks like a bust down that'a way. hence I wrangled a trip with an old friend to his families haunts around Penokee / Hill City. It's been about 20 years since Ive been up there, anyone have any idea about what to...

Howdy all; I'm going to be hunting Kansas for three days next weekend and then will swing through North Eastern Colorado to hunt on my buddies farm Monday / Tuesday. I know that our position limit is 6 birds, however how do the birds I'm going to be bringing (hopefully :D) from Kansas fit into...

Heading out to SW Kansas Fri- Sunday (full of turkey) with just myself and my lab if anyone is interested in joining up to walk a few fields. Coming from southern Colorado (San Luis Valley).

2 of us and my 9 year old lab hit the public fields a bit south of Tribune over the weekend. Did really well, limited both days although finished up the limit on Sunday only because we didn't miss many. 16 birds and on the road by 2 O'clock, can remember many years when two days of limits just...

Just wondering if anyone knows any info about or have hunted either Hamilton / Stanton or Greeley Counties. In past trips, I have hunted Kearney / Grant counties to the east. I'm not looking for any particular "spots" just a general idea of the lay of the land, type of Agriculture etc. Noticed...
