I still run after the dog every chance I get. Public land I'll take any shot at a rooster in the air I can get. When I meet the rancher's daughter who has ground loaded with private land dummies I'll stroll around behind a pointing dog, SxS broke open on the crook of my arm, casually walk up...

Me and the dog had a very personal talk on this subject yesterday. That and not fighting Raccoons. Only time will tell if she took it to heart.

Omaha, right behind the zoo.

I don't know all the details and don't want to speak out of turn. But maybe Molly doesn't suck and that just leaves...uhmmm... her hunting buddy? 😅 P.S. not pointing fingers, I rode the struggle bus plenty my last few days out.

At least when you shoot those high brass magnums the recoil isn't so bad.

What collars did you end up going with? GPS or not?

I don't do it a lot, I'd rather follow the dog. BUT. If the hunting is tough, or the weather is hot, or the dog is tired it's a really nice option to have.

Stop ruining the habitat

Maybe there's some reward money for that leg zip-tie.

Yeah I carry a stapler but have never used it. Do a quick search. I've heard from vets common problems are people using too many staples and people closing the wound too tight.

And are there good steel options for factory 20ga?

Hit Iowa again today. Always hear first snow is a pheasant hunting bonanza. In this case hunting during the first snow was challenging. It stuck on the ground but was wet. Didn't take long pants, vest, hat, gloves were all soaked. I started at a honey hole from last year... had turned into a...

Was this near lake Lewis and Clark? See any snow geese?

But have you found any ghost towns yet?

Here's my tips. Compose the shot first, get birds positioned, turn camera on, lastly get dogs in position and have a treat in your hand to get their attention.

I had a shot today, not exactly the same. A very uncommon shot in my time hunting. Walking a thick fenceline Skye flushed one up at close range. He didn't want to fly out because it was a field of black dirt forever, so up and up he went over me and the dog. I took my time for once and swung the...

Today's report. I bought an Iowa license while gassing up in Mapleton MN, the birthplace of curling. I ended up hitting an old favorite in MN for 9am opening bell. Saw two roosters flush there after the dogs got their scent, but they knew the game and too far out for a shot. Got to a good spot...

I push safety off when bird flushes and I am raising my gun. Sometimes I start the mount/safety off process and see that it's a hen. My safety immediately goes back to "safe." I really like the guy who said, "always keep your muzzle pointing up." That's a big deal for me while hunting. Dogs...

Goose probably thought she was just another rube big game hunter. Little did he know, he would end up being the big game!

I boogied down to Faribault to hunt the golden hour. In the back corner of a field I almost pinched one, but he took off running down the hill. Lucky Skye caught the scent and I hustled after her. I took a bomb shot right before he disappeared under the rise and saw him fall. I was nervous on...
