This above ⬆️ Not "you are an infant.....". It takes time in any craft to learn, grow, develop and adapt. Every one of us has been there and will be there again at some point.

Could save on shells for those birds.....

My 1st run out there this year won't be until the 2nd week of December.....staying in Webster and venture out from there. 4 of us with 3 experienced dogs and a young dog. 2 shorthairs, 2 labs. Will be a bit of a bummer not having my lab with (ACL surgery 2 weeks ago). 😔

Just a suggestion, not saying anyone has to go buy big money running shoes, but if you have a store in your area that specializes in running shoes....these are not big box or chain stores.... go and get measured/fitted. They also sell insoles if they can match your fitting. My wife does alot of...

Good list. I also usually have a couple of the camping emergency space blankets, several types of fire starter, a good candle, a dry change of clothes....especially socks. My truck has a cap on it and the headliner is carpeted. I also throw a thick carpet remnant cut to fit in the bed. I've had...

I'm waiting for "Goose's" input on this.....😎

Amen to that.....I like hitting different areas, especially if it is just me and the dog. My typical group for the ND or SD runs from Wisconsin are 3 or 4 of us. I try to do alot of research so I know that both "groups" can find some success.....we typically split up. Last year, I ran back out...

The last one I used that I got the best non-chaff on was the Browning dog vest, the model with the 3 velcro straps. I really, really liked the skid plate and chest protector on it. The area that came in contact with the armpits was neoprene. But just to make sure I didn't have issues, I coated...

Looking back in my manuals.....every SportDog I had/have say trim it. 😄

You absolutely can trim the collar extra if you are referring to shortening the overall length......just trim it rounding the cut. SportDog brand is the only collar I've owned, I've trimmed several so there was not so much extra length. Others just fold the excess over and through the collar...

Awesome you are seeing that cover, but yes a nice mix would be good......burns, some shelter belts to keep the hawks off them and some year round food source. I have seen several properties in FDL Co that do not get stocked by DNR but by local clubs have sustainable populations.....seeing hens...

Yup, that is what my BIL said about this past week getting out after work as well. Yesterday morning was my 1st outing.....my dog had ACL surgery Tuesday, so I didn't sneak out with BIL until yesterday morning. Poor birds don't stand a chance. Add to that the guys that follow the trucks and...

Went to Killsnake Wildlife Area yesterday morning with BIL.....got there early, what an absolute zoo of pheasant hunters.....yuck. The northern Kettle area has not been much better.

Godspeed Sir.

Surgery went very well, no surprises, issues, abnormalities or complications. Dog is doing very well. 3 days post-op, swelling is down, pain is minimal. The work begins. Binder with weekly instructions and benchmarks for each day....that include massage of affected area, range of motion...

That right there is a happy dog! Good multi-species day!

Not a happy dog.....10 yards from from truck blew out his ACL....surgery in the morning....then the rehab. Sigh.

I used to bow hunt and gun deer hunt alot. That was until I bought my 1st lab in 2002. He unfortunately only made 9 seasons, had to lose him when he turned 10. During thar time, I rarely spent time on deer. I bird hunted, both pheasant and waterfowl, alot of waterfowl. I did revert back to more...

For me and my BIL, who hunt alot of our time together with our 2 labs, we break down cover much like structure for fishing. I look for transitions in the cover, quick access to food, pinch points, and the spot in the spot. We at times start apart and work towards getting together at the highest...

They will be tucked in. Find some trees/grass mix nearby food.....I found that they will stay close to the food source and have some water protection. Check SD GPAs for such cover and the same on any WIA properties. Hunt the breaks in the rain, they will be on the move. They tend to use their...
