    NEWS FLASH: Drought ends at Ponderosa

    Southern Kansas from Kiowa to Ashland caught a pond filler in the last 24 hrs… grass looks great. I’ve seen 3 groups of Turkey chicks in the last week in same area, size of hen pheasant. I never see many pheasant in this area but the quail habitat looks great.

    Rattle Snake Vaccine

    Not my state but I’ve seen my fair share of rattle snakes in the field… vaccine is insurance and all my dogs are up to date, but it’s just insurance and if you get a bad bite your headed to the vet. I’ve had dogs bit and they all made it with no long term issues, it is a graphic wound and takes...

    Hoping the Weather Stays As Is in the West!!

    Saw my first hatch of bobs in Oklahoma a few days ago, just caught a glimps but seemed to be double digits. A farmer friend is reporting a fair amount of pheasant chicks in Texas panhandle during wheat chopping, but too soon to make a call. It seems we are moving back to La Niña mid year...

    New Member from Nebraska

    Me too in January if things work out… I won’t be horseback but would love to stand on a ridge and watch. Gambel’s and blues are a blast, my favorite two birds

    New Member from Nebraska

    I’ve got a friend in central tx that chases his pointers horseback. I’ve had the pleasure of tagging along several times and it’s a blast. It takes a horse to chase hot bred English pointers!

    Remote bird launchers

    I have 4 Dogtra launchers, no issues. Launchers in general can create issues with poor flying birds in my opinion but not your question

    Great Season Brewing

    That’s great news, we got our lodging locked up and ready to go. I have to admit last year we had more fun chasing sharpies and chickens than Mr rooster…. Those rolling grasslands stole my heart

    Feeding Time

    Same here, I feed once a day year round in the evening with water in the kibble. Good tip on the honey, I snag a few packets from the condiment section of a restaurant for easy packing. I got caught too far from the truck this year on a day that turned hot, dog started to loose balance and...

    Off limits period and leash question

    Good grief… exploring a wilderness area with a leash sounds like going to the city park. Where’s a guy suppose to run his dog?

    Pointing to far/ not moving in on running birds.

    Work the dog in on some launcher birds this summer down wind, which should create some up close points. Check for a flinch or avoidance when birds are flushed, if not you have an out of the box steady dog which is what people spend thousands of dollar to accomplish. You can work in a release...

    Lab guys sorry but....

    I agree that a covey point from 150 yards and hold till shot is really hard to accomplish, honestly it’s rare. But in my eyes especially in a tough year that’s a covey I would have never found, and if they split on the flush it’s game on.

    Lab guys sorry but....

    If your pointing dog is truly steady it’s fantastic.. I would say hundreds of yards side to side is better than hundreds ahead!

    Lab guys sorry but....

    The thrill with pointing dogs for me is when they take a huge swing and pin down a bird that I would have never known was there in the first place. Huge advantage when hunting marginal ground or large tracts.

    Gucci Time

    Death march takes the need for good dogs out of the equation, I would rather hunt with 20 dogs than 20 people!
