Just got shamed😕 when we go hunting next year, you drive and I won’t put my dog in a cage. Not responsible for what he pisses on. Sooo this year was hunting with a guy who had a male dog, while talking at the end of a push my dog snuck up behind him and pissed on the back of his legs. I watched...

Couple of photos of pheasant dishes. The artichoke one we made the pieces smaller to make a chip dip, real good too.

Was talkin on the phone when I got back to the truck and leaned my M2 against the front of the truck. Got off the phone, put the dog away and drove an hour to the next spot. Oh the confused look on my face when I realized my gun was not in the case. The ride back was the worst part, just...

Oh yeah, create an atmosphere where the dog loves being around you. I like to do alot of mock hunting. Every thing you’d do on game day mimic. Teaching to load up, walk in a field walk back to the truck water up and relax for a few minutes letting him know the hunts over. Obedience is key, if...

Easy buddy!!😂

Took my first setter/hunting dog to a trainer. At some point during the training or towards the end he told me that my dog was a “devil dog” and was just crazy. It was my first dog and I had high hopes and was a little bit offended. That being said he did his best with what he had. Get my second...

I got a couple bird yesterday that had the most fat that I’d ever seen on birds. One was even full of corn. The snow around is crazy deep too. They won’t have to worry about me anymore, deep snow sucks!

I usually get my shells for the following year here in the next 5 months. Federal Premium for 18 is a good price. If I find a shell I like for 18 is when I load up, 2 or 3 cases. I went from PS, Federal Premium, Kent, this year B&P. I’m a buy with my hand kinda guy and scheels always will have...

I always liked PS. I felt like they hit hard. But for $28-30 a box and with no rebates not worth it. You can still get good stuff for under $20. Federal has some pretty boxes.

Days hunted - 8 (1 to 4 hours in length, all in central MN, between Nov 17 - Jan 1) Roosters bagged - 16 Cripples - 0 Rough estimate of birds seen: at least a dozen each time, several times between 20-30, and one time about 40. He lost as many birds as you shot!😂

I think of pheasant hunting as a drug…we are all addicted for different reasons. Does a dog make it great? Oh yeahhhh! Late 90s took two college buddies to family farm shot 6 roosters with no dog. One of the best hunts of my life. Got one of those without even shooting. Dog work is up there on...

Was your sweet blender beside it?

I’ve hunted the SD opener for the third year now. Cattails in mid October are way different than mid November. I remember entering a cattail patch the size of 5 football field. Excited to see the birds but wondering how many we would be able to find. Two of my best memories of the 2023 were from...

One that irked me was….It had been along day and I volunteered to go block a wide draw a couple buddies were walking. Parked truck about 50 yds away from the end and walked the ditch with my setter when up he popped. About 30 yds flying left to right and away dropped him one shot #4 mod. In the...

I’m in too

…and when it lands in a bean field.

Upper 40lb male. All business in the field, your best friend at home. Retrieves birds, has a hard time getting them in his mouth. Won’t retrieve birds when around dominate dogs but when I’m hunting alone retrieves all birds to me. Made a water retrieve this year outta the James River, that was...

Some of the nicest 16* weather I’ve ever hunted. Dog hasn’t been out in four weeks after knocking on deaths door. Felt good to be out again. Hunting in Iowa was better than the bowl game!!🥴

The choke thread got me thinking of things we give up for others. You want the long shot or the short one. When my setter went down a few weeks back it made me think I may have to replace him. So I started thinking about the good and bad things I like about him. Pros: Love the style, watching...
