Hunted my setter pretty hard for a few days and got tender feet. Got some Paw Butter to soften his paws up. By that time we were done hunting but defiantly helped with recovery.

I got one. It is a great value for the price. Mine does not cycle light loads. Use it on NE and IA birds but not in SD. Doesn’t hit hard enough for me. Didn’t use it much last year for lack of finding variety of shells I like.

Was out exercising the dog when a coyote approached us. I would have let my dog have at it with him but was afraid he would get out of range and not be able to control him. That ol yote walked us back to the truck. Really strange!

The license thing has never bothered me. I’ve never bought more than two and some times carry over a date. I wonder what the percentage of people that buy two is. If I lived with in an hour of SD that would be very discouraging. Live in NE and probably hunt in IA more. That’s good money spent.

Don’t most predators hunt at night? It’s not like they’re taking a nap and we’re waking them up. They’re in survival mode all the time. Just one part of the day when they are just a bit more predictive

Trying to shoot three rounds of skeet a week. Been a lot of fun. Always look forward to the day we shoot.

I don’t think game farms are for hunting. It’s just a place where men go to drink and party and shoot guns. They need to justify being away from home to drink and have fun so they say they’re hunting. Hunted quite a bit in SD and never have shot a pen raised bird

Brined for 24 hours, smoked on a very low heat, basted with favorite sauce. Took over two hours to get cooked but very tender and moist. Texture was a little funky but maybe one of my new ways to cook phez. I thought the thighs tasted the best in this process

Gotta get a new topic going before we all lose our minds🤪. First year I’ve really noticed my dog eating grass. It’s more like he’s licking it looking for a flavor he likes. Read a little bit about it, any insite?

Bird numbers? Who cares. I never hunted SD in the glory days but have always had pretty good luck the last few years. I’ve had amazing hunts and have had crap ones. I think it’s comical what people consider low numbers. The family farm in Central IA in the late 90s was a 9 or 10 for hunting. Now...

Late 90’s growing up in central IA shot a lot of birds with no dog. Knowing where the birds are is part of the human element. There was lots of birds so success was fairly easy. Living in eastern NE you need all the help you can get to find those few birds. Having a dog is like eating cake with...

I don’t shoot 16 but that is a good deal. For those who want good deals you gotta look all year long now. I’m not gonna pay $25 a box but could easily be sucked into a pretty box with a cool picture. Got these shells at scheels for $18, buddy patterned them and said they were pretty good.

Beauty of America…using our dollars will affect the way company’s of our favorite places or products cater to us. Just gotta be disciplined to do it. For the record I’m going “Team Goose”. Complementary Turkey meat, and compasses for those who join the team

Ahhh that’s no fun!! As shells become more expensive and the ones you want seem harder to find I’m gonna try just using what’s available. Reminding myself shells aren’t the only thing that make you successful

I have a male and female. Personality wise these dogs are complete opposites but I don’t know if I would contribute that to sex. The male does piss a lot. I just know he’s gonna mark stuff if other dogs are around and to watch him. I’m a proponent of started dogs, and would get the best...

My one setter I was able to run tone on all the time and use whistle to turn and come back. It was nice to know when she was on point in tall grass. My other setter was also trained to the whistle. If I run tone he thinks I’m calling him back and will come stand beside me and not leave till I...

Aqua Seal

Been there a couple times, real good times. One year it got in the 20s over night and my arm fell out of my sleeping bag. I thought I had frost bite really bad but my arm fell a sleep and I couldn’t feel it. Gotta make your own firewood not a stick to be found at those campsites.

I wish! Half the time it gives me heart attack! Hunting this year on a miserable day birds were sitting tight, stomped around for over 30 seconds and couldn’t get the bird to flush. Called my dog to go get’em and he wouldn’t leave point. Finally must have stepped on him for the third time, he...

Which one comes first?
