That thing is gorgeous!

Hey guys if you are in the area or looking for a fun event over the next two weekends check out the Game Fair. https://www.gamefair.com/ Lots of fun events for you dogs to try. Things like retrieving, scent work, pointing events, seminars, dog trainers, dog food vendors, etc. There are lots of...

Jeff, I am not sure where you live but I would recommend you find a guided hunt where your success will go up because you will be using dogs. The next two weekends in the town I live in in Minnesota there is a big outdoor festival called Game Fair. Check it out they have tons of resources at the...

I agree, puppies at my house at 6-7 weeks old will tear a wing or a bird apart. That shows me drive more than a hard mouth. Let the pup be a pup. Use frozen birds if you want to use real birds or feathers. They can't tear those apart, but they may still clamp down when you try to take it away.

I do a fair amount of guiding and I always tell young or inexperienced hunters that typically pheasants do one of three things and usually in this order. 1. Run first, they love to run away from any pressure. 2. Hide, they typically run to a spot where they can hide or double back on you to...

Just head up to northern Minnesota around the first of April. Check the reports from some of the lodges there and they will tell you when the river starts to open up. Biggest sturgeon I have ever caught was fishing with a jig and minnow for walleyes.

Good stories! I am going to have to reach back in my brain to find one that translates without the "You had to be there" ending.

Thanks for the encouragement BB!

I would hate to take it out once it was done because I would be afraid to scratch it! That will be a sweet looking gun!

Hey guys if anyone is interested I have one confirmed breeding this week and will have another breeding done next week on my other female. Why do they always go into season together?! I have a list of potential buyers but I expect to have two litters so if anyone is interested now might be the...

Good to see a fellow Golden guy on the site! Hoping to get a litter or two out before the end of the year if my females would cooperate and go into season!

It is not an easy fence to walk on. On one hand I take young kids and new people to preserves to get them hooked on shooting pheasants. Once they get the itch it is easier to sell them on pheasant hunting. Success with slower more plentiful birds breeds confidence and then the next challenge of...

Nothing funner than sending your dog on a retrieve across a creek where you can't get to the bird. Stop the dog with a whistle and direct them to the downed bird. Then watch them deliver that bird to your hand and not drop it in the creek. Training and obedience are the foundation to a great...

I need the same thing!

Well I have limited funds and time each fall so I do like to shoot limits evry day that I hunt wild birds, especiallly in other states. But as I have aged my successes have turned to spending time with my dogs and also my hunting buddies. I have a select few that I hunt with and the time...

Good to hear BB now we just need the right amount of moisture for a great hatch!

I bought a license yesterday in MInnesota and my son-in-law took me out to one of his "spots." We had to sit and watch Jakes, hens, sandhill cranes, deer and ducks for a few hours but eventually a nice Tom showed up and my season was over! Fun hunt, great memories!

But I do trust your skills at finding pheasants!

Wait to spay!!!!!!!!!! I get the arguments for the mess etc. I breed dogs as a pretty serious hobby. I have been doing it for almost 2 decades. I give a health guarantee to all my buyers. But if you spay or neuter your pet before 2 years of age, your guarantee is void. We all know that dogs are...

Mike, I trust your wife more than I trust you!
