Totally agree with you about swimming being a great conditioner for man and beast alike but just curious how you get the dogs to swim that far? With the heat we’ve had in my part of the world I’m having a hard time getting mine much field time right now.

2 dogs, hunt each separately so in theory they only go half a day. On long trips I add some canned food to get them to eat a little more and warm water to the kibble to help with hydration. Other than that nothing special. I do keep them inside so they are not wasting energy at night trying to...

The only time I’ve had to use them, I used the inner tube ones. I’m considering buying some from dogbooties.com based off recommendations from lots of folks here just to have in case. Seems like they would be a lot easier to put on than the others.

That’s great! What part of Wyoming are u heading to? I’ve made several trips to the snowy range area and absolutely love getting up in the mountains and fishing for trout.

Hey if your gonna detour to Joplin might as well stop and pick me up on the way!

I’m guessing we are in pretty similar situations. I’ve hunted ks my whole life and always heard the stories about sd. I finally went last year. Did it meet my wildest dreams of easy limits and hundreds of birds flushing at once? No, but it’s all going to be about expectations. I hunt solo and...

I have a strap vest and coat, both are browning and have considerable years and miles. Both have been well worth the money as well. The strap vest sees 90 percent of the field time. I only wear the coat if it’s below 20 or there is precipitation.

Not to totally hijack britchasers thread but my appointment with the ortho didn’t go well. When they called with the MRI results they said torn meniscus. What they failed to say was that the report also said there was a total absence of cartilage. Orthopedic doesn’t recommend surgery due to the...

Ibills, Just curious what the doc has told you the expected recovery time is before resuming normal activities? My mri showed a torn meniscus as well so I’m looking at roughly the same thing you went through. Couldn’t get into the ortho doc I wanted until the 26th so I’ve still got a couple...

Can’t really offer any advice but I do sympathize. I just underwent an mri Thursday so still waiting on results but I’m fully expecting some sort of surgery. I fully intend on being back in the field come fall.

Yep, been stuck in my head all morning. Remember 1st hearing this on the jukebox in the tavern while hanging out with my dad when I was about 12.

Nope, not happening.

My tucker dog seems to seek out coyotes. He has pointed 2 this year alone and many throughout his 7 years. His first one he was around 7 months old and we had busted a covey of quail into a pasture when he went over hillside and the Astro said point. As I crested the hill something didn’t look...

So I pulled the trigger on the pants. Only worn them once so far but it was a windy rainy day in sd walking cattails and they performed well. The fit is a little odd for me but that’s going do depend on body size/type in most any pants. Can’t say how they’ll hold up long term but initial...

Mostly just looking at alternatives because I’m cheap! Lol. I’ve never used one before and don’t know that I’ll use it much if I do get one. Just thought it would be good to provide some memories to look back on. The go pros I’ve seen seem to to start around 200 vs some off brands on Amazon for...

I’m thinking of getting something to video my dogs instead trying to use my phone. Does anyone have any recommendations other than go pro?

I’ve had a pair from outdoor edge for at least 10 years and they have held up well.

Used this recipe serval times and it works well. Dog was able to take his usual spot at the foot of the bed the same night. Doesn’t work nearly as well on collars and vests but I can leave them outside.

I had just bought a new truck a month before the opener that year. At one point while sitting still at the top of a hill trying to decide which way to go the truck started sliding sideways. Needless to say the wife was not happy when I got home with mud from top to bottom. I’m try to be smarter...

Thanks gentlemen. I drove up yesterday. Ended up at motel 6 in Mitchell. I’ll find somewhere today to pitch my tent for a couple nights.
