    The oddest thing you have had your dog point

    Oh -he knew about it, I related the story to him while we were chatting. He was amused but honestly couldn't give 2 sh#$$. We've been pretty good friends for many years. I have been on places where I had rules or orders, so to speak, of things not to let walk or absolutely let walk. I had a...

    The oddest thing you have had your dog point

    When my older gsp was 2 yrs old, I had a connection to hunt a cattle ranch in the rolling plains( north texas). We used to point many covies of bobs on this place. One cold, windy morning, she gets birdie right out of the truck . She bird dogged her way into a mesquite flat with high grass and...

    Where did all the WIHA go!?

    I was doing as I usually do in the off season when I’m bored. I’ll open up my onX or log into state public lands atlas- looking for anything new or just familiarizing myself with a new honey hole I may have found last season. Well, I just about had a heart attack when I opened up Kansas and saw...

    I’ve done treats for early/ young yard work with great results. Once we start doing field work- treats go away!

    Moisture coming….

    Oh gosh- that’s a lot of snow!! I hate that- it seems like they get way too much or just too dry. I thought we were in the clear with the snow this winter! ….I hope everyone fairs ok along with the birds. ND is my favorite state to hunt by far!

    Training birds

    I’ll second Kismet. Pigeons are the way to go! Very hardy, flighty. They won’t disappoint. Game birds are great… wild ones anyway!! Pen raised birds not so much. Don’t always work the way they are supposed to. They are hard to care for too. Pigeons are easy. I have about 20 homers I keep in an...

    Garmin Sport Pro

    This is my current tgt collar. I’ve been working two collars off it for 6 years. It’s been flawless. It’s easy and fast to operate( the simplicity makes a difference when working multiple collars in the field). Holds a charge well. I use the vibrate as a recall command- the garmin “vibrate” is...

    Chaffing between toes on GSP

    size has nothing to do with it. Sounds like he's pretty "flat" footed-my 70 # female looks like she is wearing high heels, her feet are tight and dont spread at all. I dont even have to boot this dog most times we are in sand spur country. My brother's 45 # female is very flat footed-she has a...

    What is the best pair of boots you ever owned for hunting pheasants?

    I bought a pair of crispis before season started. Started with them in september-they are pretty darn comfortable! No sign of wear so far-time will tell.

    A true triple?

    3 seasons ago, in SD upon returning to town for the night , I passed a crep field where a combine was pulling onto the road where he just cut the cornfield right next to it. It was already getting dark…. Hmmm- I know where I’m hunting tommorrow morning! Next morning I head back to that same...

    How can they hay this much public ground

    I know its tuff when you commit time and money on a trip but you got to understand that someone might be trying to make ends meet on a bad year....it happens. I just hope all these hard working ag-folks get through this and continue to support the "public" lands program. Theres always other...

    Opening Weekend in Kansas

    I've never seen so many birdhunters like I saw this weekend. We put alot of miles on the truck trying to elude hunters and find ditchparrots. 2 of us with 3 shorthairs on public land, 2 mornings and 2 evenings in a 3 day period-put up 20 roosters, 30+ hens, and 3 big covies of quail. We finished...
