    A gift for your hunting buddies

    BB, I had a similar experience. Back in the early 80's I was guiding a group of waterfowl hunters, which included Fred Hardin, President of the United Transportation Union (UTU) at the time. After the hunt, he pulled me aside and handed me a Swiss Army knife, a top of the line one.........see...

    Killer traps

    Makes my blood boil. I have nothing against trappers, but had one of our labs caught in one of those years ago in Iowa. On the outside of a culvert, not marked - trap had no identification- very likely a good thing - unacceptable. Ruby still hunted but had permanent damage to her shoulder. Got...

    SD Hunt license - problem!

    app is short for application, as in software application. Most state F&G Depts now offer a free "app", which will download to your phone, and allow you to purchase licenses through your phone, show public access maps, seasons and limits, etc. Some apps, such as ihunter, require annual fees. Many...

    dog vest

    There was a good thread on this last year BD. GH and others helped me, as I had the same experience as you. I have both the Cuga and the Mendota vests. I prefer the Cuga, but will use the Mendota on warmer days, as it doesn't cover the back as the Cuga does. What I have not been able to find...

    Sun Setting on My Hunting Career

    Zeb, Your post has struck a chord with many of us. I'm 66, and have been wondering how many more falls the future holds. I pleaded (unsuccessfully) with a 84 year old friend from Michigan, to go with us to Alberta this year (he used to go until 10 or so years ago). He felt he would be a...

    A gift for your hunting buddies

    I like doing the same Bob, and just ordered some hand out gifts this morning. Drake Waterfowl has foot garters ($5) and neck gaiters ($6) on sale. The foot garters are great if you wear muck style boots, keeping your pants from bunching up inside the boot. I believe if you sign up at Drake...

    Canada Gamebird Ban

    Another great trip to Alberta has come & gone, visiting friends and enjoying some fine waterfowl hunting. About 40 years of experiencing what all waterfowlers should experience at least once. When we started hunting up there, virtually all fields were swathed and allowed to dry in the field, and...

    Howard Vincent retiring from PF

    Member of PF, DU, and NWTF. These are all really good organizations, and all have a focus on keeping these amazing opportunities available; not only for us, but for the future - through their youth programs. IMHO, we are in a better place today with all their efforts, regarding CRP enrollments...
