How many trigger pulls did it take to wear a blister like that?!? 😜

This has to be considered a "versatile dog"!! ;):p

I agree with Pete's comment above, however, when talking about self retrieval success rate, I am no where near 95% if a dog isn't present. If I see the birds head is still up and makes a "somewhat controlled landing", this is normally bad news.... with or without a dog. Hunting in Kansas...

Not to get too far off topic, but I think there is something to this dying of a broken heart. Outside of hunting my old lab LOVED going in the RV to the lake. He rode on the dash (I know, unsafe if there was an accident) and that was "his" spot. As he got older, he spent most days inside the...

A "guide" at a kick and shoot venue helped me... He said a tighter choke and shoot at the white ring around their necks. Then he said make sure I've let go of the bird before you shoot. (Probably the reason he said a tighter choke tube?!? 🤣) I've shot and fatally injured plenty of wild rooster's...

First off, congratulations on retirement and thank you for your service! In regards to your stated budget, I don't think you can go wrong with a Browning. I have a few different models, some that I like and some that I love. For sporting clays, I prefer my 525 Sporting and would recommend...

The best advice I can give is be prepared to "bundle up" as it can be miserable. Making their first hunting experience less miserable is probably your main objective if I am guessing. In my personal experiences with my kids, having warm boots that don't give blisters after all day hunting (kids...

I was just recently informed that the handy tailgate step built into most F-150's works really well as an outdoor toilet. Even the upright handle holds a roll of toilet paper until you are ready to use it! Ford thinks of EVERYTHING!! :ROFLMAO:

The breeder that I got my 2 year old female out of in Oklahoma came from AI semen out of Teddy. Below is a link to Teddy's owner's website. I think that Teddy has puppies all over the country and they may be able to connect you with an upcoming litter. If you have any question about my dog...

I was just visiting with a friend of mine that lives in Winter Park that used to live in Western Kansas and going on our first ever grouse hunt. I see from your last message post that you hunt near Coalmont which is relatively close to WP. He works in Granby and Kremmling, os probably familiar...

Try asking "what restaurant did you eat at last night?" Ha ha! Inquiring minds want to know! ;):)

Goosemaster, please tell us the rest of the story about him shooting the combine! Until the true version comes out I'm only able to "assume" that you guys were standing at the end of an unharvested field "blocking"?!? 🤔🤦🤣 I asked for clarification only because I have witnessed this before, it...

I have a place for you to stay and some land you can hunt if you are offering up salmon AND halibut!!! Advance payment is appreciated....

This made me laugh! The one time I made a trip to a South Dakota farmers place to hunt "wild birds", we did see wild birds, but didn't shoot any. The few wild birds flew as soon as you pulled up in the pickup and open the door. He said "I'm sure they didn't all fly away let's go ahead and walk...

I can vividly image the nose drip followed by the "charge"... I guess I have reached the point of my life/hunting career that watching my dog and everyone else's dogs is the best part of the day. I will continue to carry a gun so on the rare occasion that I connect on a shot, the dogs get...

I know a guy that is currently trying to find a good home for his 1 year old yellow lab that is lacking the "drive" he is wanting out of a dog. This pup comes from a reputable breeder and known experienced trainer (from what I can tell anyway). He wants $3000 for him and I know that this...

This is very interesting and my first time hearing this question. I am the proud owner of one of those "over discussed versatile dogs" so I don't even want to go there...but she is a pointing lab. She does hunt both ways but until reading your post, I had never thought about it. Her "birdie"...

I was having a conversation about this topic a few weeks ago with a farmer that I also hunt with on occasion. I know that margins are tight within the farming operations, but was curious with some financial assistance from government programs or even the PF organization, could he ever imagine...

It is easy to take for granted the luxury of living in rural Western Kansas, so thanks to all that make these posts. If I hunt every weekend for the whole season, I won't burn $200 in fuel. I have a lifetime hunting license that was given to me by an ex-girlfriend when I was in my 20's (it...

I had never been checked here in Western Kansas in ~35 years as an avid hunter. I read this post a several weeks ago and remember reflecting back on this and chuckling to myself about all of the law abiding rules I/we follow as a sportsman, not because of fear but because it's the right thing...
