I have an orange leatherman skeletool. I like the color in case I drop it, the knife, the pliers, and the wire cutters. Pliers have picked quills out more than once from dogs.

Born and raised in WI and don’t even know anyone who drinks Old Milwaukee anymore. :unsure: 🍻

Blaze orange skirt?

One last time I would recommend re-reading post #8 of this thread.

Agree with last couple posts. It’s the losses that always bother me throughout the season. I would choose my shots more carefully if my losses were in the double digits.

Sounds like sarcasm, he wants you to save him some. ;)

“I don’t need a NAVDHA dog as I’m literally a weekend warrior.” “That said I want a hunting partner…” NAVHDA is a great training network for all kinds of people, trust me there’s plenty of members who don’t even qualify as weekend warriors. A training club of any kind is a great way to help...

Many people like to fix poor shooting with fit, LOP, drop, etc rather than learning proper gun mounting fundamentals.

WI has a bird dog training permit. Easy to get at a dnr office. I think it was $25 for 2 or 3 years. Gives you options to run your dog off leash year round. Maybe convienent depending on your location.

This ^^^ Off season conditioning on a variety of surfaces.

From IOWA hunting regulations: WHERE RESTRICTED. All dogs are prohibited on all state-owned game management areas be- tween March 15 and July 15 of each year, except that dog training is permitted on designated training areas. Field and retriever meets are restricted to designated sites. A...

If you don’t like to eat sharps or PCs, leave them for those of us that do please. 😋

I’m thinking these are not the same portable crates that you put in your truck.

Here in WI, the DNR has set aside some areas for year round dog training. Nice for keeping the dog conditioned. Also have a couple local areas with water that are dog friendly. Get out early in the day before the heat!

Good reason to have a dog that’s steady to wing, shot, and fall.

It means: “lucky rooster”.
