Had a blast in the snow yesterday with fellow UPH'er 'cowdog' & his new dog Pistol (younger yellow lab, near-twin to my old dog Chance). Was very ENCOURAGED to see that there are still pockets left in CO phez country with good number of birds (& ROOSTERS). We were in birds all day long...

Wasn't able to make the Dec SD/'Boar's Head' trip with the UPH boyz as long-planned & anticipated, but did manage to put my finger on the spot on the map of deepest freshly fallen snow nearer to home in CO & bump-n-run straight to it for a day-trip yesterday at the crack of dawn first morning...

Swore (literally, in more ways than one) that I would NEVER, EVER again swim amongst the Opening-Day orange hordes - but it's been a long time (too long), bird numbers & habitat/cover are on the upswing from the pathetic/pitiful last couple years around my neck of the woods, and I've got the...

Howdy Gents, LONG-TIME, no see or hear! Missed all y'all UPH boyz...With my continued bad-luck run over the last several years, not much time leftover lately for bird hunting, much less hanging out this dang-good forum nearly as much as I would like to. Just lost my best lifetime hunting buddy...

If any reputable Labrador kennel or owner with a female out there is interested in adding some different bloodlines with multi-generations of excellent confirmation, temperament & hunting titles into your breeding for the simple price of male pick of the litter - I am looking for a bitch to...

Sorry I've been AWOL for awhile dudes. Having been out of the country more than in on extensive international humanitarian/church-missions travel ever since Labor Day of 2012, I did not get to hunt at all this yr up until the next to last day of the season. Managed to get out today with StEvgn...

Anybody got any experience with this??? Is the surgery & recovery worth the effort with a 6 yr old dog in his bird-hunter prime??? Vet says it is not self-healing & he will never hunt again w/o surgery (will be nearly a yr from now even with it), & he will most likely develop the slow/crippling...

Sorry Dudes, I kinda went totally AWOL on UPH for awhile. Dec & Jan were not kind at all to the pheasant hunter in me. After all the circus of my son's cancer & elderly caretaking & death of my wife's parents over the last couple yrs, I spent from Christmas/NY's "holidays" up to now dealing with...

Anybody have any experience or knowledge on this??? My lab has just lately started exhibiting this bizarre behavior occasionally a couple times at 6 yrs old (I had never before now seen this in any dog). He is currently having a long, crazy episode that started up almost all of last night & is...

Got some AWESOME NEWS today: After a yearlong saga/battle including major surgery & 6 months of chemo, MY 29 YR OLD "STAGE 4" SON BRANDON HAS OFFICIALLY BEEN DECLARED IN REMISSION & NO TRACE OF CANCER!!! :10sign: It's a free-world & you non-God well-wishers can thank the lucky stars or a lucky...

If dreams came true, I would love to take the whole month of Sept off & disappear with my dog into the sunrise/sunset trying for my personal version of a CO Sept Feathered Grand Slam: First a little dove hunting over Labor Day Wknd, followed by an attempt @ a mid-Sept CO Grouse Trifecta (blue...

Anybody know in closest proximity to CO where a man & a dog or two might go and have a reasonable chance to scratch up a few wild (not preserve/released) huns???...If God & the stars were to smile on me for a full-fledged road trip, where is considered the best/prime hun territory in the country...

How long on the law of fairly-reliable AVERAGES can a lab be expected to live??? :confused: My 1st one developed a notorious vagabond/runaway habit with a police/animal-shelter rap sheet a mile long, he made it to 14 before I lost him for good (ran away one time too many & didn't come back while...

Heaven gained a beloved son & earth lost one of it's greatest benefactors this past week as my wife's daddy & my boss/mentor/father-in-law David Wilkerson went home to be with Jesus after a long-life well-lived, literally millions of people touched by his life & messages, and multiplied...
