Dogs are actually built differently than us. Dogs get 80-90% of their energy from fat, not calories. Which is why premium dog food has a high fat content. Whereas humans get the bulk of our energy from calories. Imagine if you ate a diet that consisted of 25% fat haha With this, a dog going...

No food in the morning for my dogs on the day of a hunt either. One thing I've tried (with mixed results) is spiking their water in the morning with a splash of Gatorade. Just a couple drops to give it some taste to make them want to hydrate up. Sometimes they drink a bunch, other times no more...

You could even try one of those Damp Rid buckets. I've never tried one but see them at the local hardware stores. Might be a cheaper alternative as a test for whatever room you store your shells in before buying a dehumidifier unit.

Chestles idea is more what I would do. Id try and control the humidity in the basement as a whole more so than the storage location.

If the shells are inside, I don't see a reason to need them to be stored in a completely non humid environment. Keeping them in a tote with the lid off is probably going to be less humid than in a sealed tote. As the temp in the tote rises from being enclosed, the warmer air can't escape and...

My guess is something got a hold of its fan as it was trying to escape from a coyote or something. Or possibly got rolled up by a vehicle. The tail fan is definitely messed up, but it's so consistently messed up that leads me to believe something had ahold of its fan.

Must be a flare nare 😂

I lost respect for KDWP and their officers after I called about some hunter harassment I was experiencing while turkey hunting there. Guy on the phone didn't seem to care, didn't even ask where it happened and didn't even want to go talk the guy after I saw his truck parked in his driveway down...

I'm sure many had their dogs in too hot of temps without knowing. Dogs can't tell us "christ it's hot in here" so until they get into dangerous, fatal territory where you're seeing them getting heat stroke, you'd never really know it.

My feet rarely get cold, but there's been times when it's sub zero they get a bit chilly. Prior to getting a new pair of insulated Crispis last summer, I pretty much hunted for years with just an uninsulated boot. I will say it's hard to have both worlds with an uninsulated boot. The pair of...

North Central KS used to be a go to place for me almost every year. Haven't been back in a long time no.

As someone who has used an Alpha (100 and 300) for almost 8 years, I'd highly recommend Garmin. I can't speak for Dogtra stuff as I've never used it, but Garmin seems to be king of dog GPS equipment. It is pricey, but it definitely lasts. Id still have my Alpha 100 if the 300 upgrades didn't...

Maybe someday. I just ventured into the world of an O/U for the first time so maybe after I shoot that gun exclusively for 15 years I might pick up a SxS. My dad has an old 16 gauge SxS that he got in a trade from an old hunting buddy about 40 years ago. But the gun has a warped barrel. The...

You'll look cooler too

Everything I've read is right barrel but that's because most sxs are a double trigger and I think you fire the forward trigger first which is tied to the right barrel? One thing I read said it's a "safety" feature but to me, shooting forward barrel first seems less safe since you could slip and...

It's one thing having one (my mom has a 10 pound ankle biter sized dog that's just fine as a house pet for her that she paid $300 for 16 years ago) but to pay 2800 for one?! I'll pass on that all day.

That's one thing I can't understand. Is people paying thousands of dollars for a dog that's just a dog. I was talking to someone awhile back about dogs (a non hunter) and mentioned I had Small Munsterlanders and how they are a bit of a rare breed in the US. They asked how much I paid since I...

You'd probably have to find out should you be interested in hunting them. I have none and know MN requires no license and there's no daily or possession limit. Same cannot be said for ducks, doves or woodcock.

I can honestly say I've never looked into crow hunting nor it's regulations. But from my brief Google search and the Ohio regulation book, I would surmise no plug is needed as it doesn't say it's needed like it does for waterfowl and migratory birds and that electronic calls are not allowed for...

Page 26 of your hunting regulations. It doesn't explicitly state "for mourning doves" but it's stated within the Waterfowl and Migratory Bird Hunting section, which includes Woodcock and Doves under the purview of the section.
