    Got me a new puppy

    Yesterday I got one of those long haired pointers. I think they call them English Stters? Lol He's not out of anything special. Just some solid gundogs that are hunted almost everyday of the season. Looking forward to this year!

    Another season comes to a close - at least for me

    Seems the seasons are ending fast these days. I didn't bird hunt nearly as much as I would have liked. My worse year on quail on the past 5 or so. I did kill more phez this year than I have in a long time. The area I hunt had lots of hens which will be good for next year providing we have...

    How was everyone's 3 day weekend

    Well, if not a 3 day then 2 day. Made another trip west and managed a few phez. Sad that the seasons end is near. Seems like it just started. The older one gets the faster they go. I think this Saturday will be devoted to quail hunting then maybe try to kill some ducks on Sunday. Last...

    Great couple of days

    For my birthday I loaded my labs up and headed west. Tuesday morning. Stopped and hunted the spot I hunted opening day. It was windy, cold, and snowing. Never saw a bird, not even any tracks. Back in the truck and headed to Jewell county. Scouted around some but didn't see anything I liked...

    Crestvue motel Mankato

    Recommend this? Has anyone stayed there lately? Don't need a 5 star but also don't need to swat roaches or have bed springs in my back either.

    Opening weekend report

    My daughter got a very good education today on habitat = birds. We hunted the same spot we hunted last year. This spot is not very big but it has water, tall grass and feed on 3 sides. Last year in about a 40 acre area we flushed probably 40-50 pheasants and a really nice covey of quail...

    Quail

    Lately in the mornings I've been opening my sliding door and listening to the quail call while enjoying my morning coffee. Nice to hear them! Not as many calling as the last 2-3 years but still a fair amount.

    Quail cover

    Does anyone know anything about the "covey headquarters" that you can get through the MDC? They are 35 dollars each and cover a 30x50 area. I was thinking about doing 3 of them and also putting food plots with each one. It's not like I will hunt quail on my property but it would be nice to...

    My little lab is growing up

    She got her HRC started title this past spring which was easy peasy. October she will run her first "seasoned" test. She's turning out to be a nice little dog. She's doing derby type marks now and some longer. She's a very good marking dog and I'm looking forward to getting her out this...

    Pheasant fest

    I've never been. I see that it's being held in the municipal auditorium. Is the event worth going to? Or will it disappoint? Trying to decide if I should stay home and train. Lol

    Saw a good sight yesterday

    Was between spots yesterday and passed a couple trucks with quail hunters getting ready to hunt a spot. Noticed a couple of young kids, maybe 10ish yrs old putting on their orange vests. I remembered as a kid how exciting it was to be doing that and was hoping these kids felt that as well...

    Outside my normal quail range

    Couldn't get down the roads today to my normal covers, exept for one. Turned ole Obie loose and the sucker takes off down the road! I'm like WTH? 200 yrds down the road my GPS says he's on point. Great! Can't get across the tight barbed wire fence and watched a nice covey get up just outa...
