    New strap vest

    Had mine for 2 years. Best I've had. Very customizable and comfortable - distributes the weight well even with a limit of roosters Not sure about a 100 oz bladder. I use that space to carry first aid for dogs and cable cutter.

    Killer traps

    FYI -- Minnesota Trappers Association has 2 free kits with instructions for releasing a conibear trap. Uses zip ties so trap is locked open. I've ordered mine today.

    So you want to hunt public land in South Dakota?

    Can't agree with that part of your post. I hunt both private and public. The really awesome people I've met that have given me permission to hunt on their property are not just out for themselves. They are just good, decent, honest hardworking people. I'm lucky to be allowed to hunt their farms.

    Keeping your dog healthy during the season

    Great points. Couple of other things to consider - Conditions when you are hunting. Was in SD one year and it was 90 degrees. Snow drifts are brutal on hunters and dogs. Much more caution required. Preseason conditioning and training. May have to try some glycocharge.

    My family had Boston terriers when I was growing up. Great family dogs!

    Keeping your dog healthy during the season

    Thats an easy question for me. Both. I have bird dogs because I hunt. If I didn't hunt, I'd probably have a Boston Terrier. My dogs always hunted back-to-back days for at least 5 days. I think if I didn't hunt them every day, I would have gotten bit. They would have been very disappointed in...

    Canada Gamebird Ban

    No one said it would prevent the spread. It may reduce the spread. So, weigh the risk of catastrophic loss to a farmer raising turkeys or chickens to support their family and the families of any employees to bringing duck and geese carcasses from Canada into the US. Right decision in my opinion.

    Howard Vincent retiring from PF

    Thanks for your response. Couple of thoughts. I have dealt with PF and QF field types never had a desire to hobnob with the corporate types. The field types IMO are smart, dedicated, down to earth folks -- I support their efforts to improve pheasants and pheasant hunting. I do that by being a...

    Howard Vincent retiring from PF

    So, I've got a few comments and questions for hyresmack and KsHusker. Comments: 1. I don't have the resources to buy tens of thousands of acres in pheasant country to improve pheasant hunting. 2. I don't have a degree in wildlife biology to know what best for pheasants to thrive. 3. I don't...

    Is South Dakota just hype?

    Amen. IMO a limit by noon is not as great a day as a limit in the golden hour with a picture worthy SD sunset in the background.

    Hen! Hen! Rooster!

    Almost 30 years ago when I first started hunting SD, there were usually 4-7 of us make the trip, usually 3 of us had dogs. I had a nice 8 hole dog trailer with a good amount of storage and 5 guys could then fit into crew cab pickup. Lately, the November trip there maybe 2 or 3 of us, but my...

    Recovery

    BritChaser -- My routine is a little different. For as long as I can remember I've been concerned about twisted stomach (bloat or Gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV). It's rare but I've been told very dangerous, can be deadly for dogs and one of the causes is extreme exercise immediately before...

    Recovery

    Good question. Never heard of Dr. Tims. I've been feeding Purina dog foods since about 1982 and never had a problem. So why is ProPlan Busch?
