I started eating a potassium supplement a few days before hunting, that and a bunch of water and I’m good

I still got some to go but I really have changed my habits

Still a work in progress but it is getting better

So the last few years I have allowed my weight and lack of exercise get out of hand. I was miserable in the field last year and really was questioning if I would go on long trips anymore. About 2 months ago I decided I didn’t want to go out that way. I am now at the gym 5 days a week at 5am. Cut...

So funny how all of this has changed over the years. I started hunting pheasant when I was 12 years old shooting a model 37 featherweight 20 gauge. I shot whatever shells were cheapest and always 6’s. Killed a lot of birds till I was about 20. Switched to an 1100 twelve gauge and still shot 6’s...

I think every truck in KC has rocks in the back of it. I have gotten a couple knocked out myself.

OMG you will send some of these guys in a coronary episode with that kind of talk. 😂

Wow how awesome. What a beautiful place to hunt. I have never hunted them before.

Shoot one bird and feed 1000’s….

That was interesting but no thanks. Years ago back in the 70’s there were a fair amount of them on a large park not far from us. They would have a rattlesnake roundup every spring. Now they have built houses up there. Most of those were timber rattlers.

He is a machine. We were hunting together 6-7 years ago in December up in SD. I limited fairly early as it was cold and snowing. He was having an off shooting day, but I drove him around and dropped him off for a couple hours. Just when I thought he was done we were off to another one.

I have hunted with a lot of different dogs, breeds and people over the years. Titled Labs worth 10’s of thousands and half breeds that were accidents. I have had three really good meat dogs myself. Decent dogs from good lines that I did little training with and got them on birds. A couple years...

My wife knew she was in to it when we got married. I was really into duck hunting when we met, and many weekends were spent chasing ducks. On our first anniversary I told her I needed to stop by Walmart after we had gone to dinner to pick up some oil or something. She was picking up a couple...

You guys are lucky living close to decent bird hunting. I used to be a couple hrs away myself. In the 80’s early 90’s I could be in decent numbers in Southern Iowa / northern Missouri. When the numbers dropped severely I started coming to South Dakota. At best it’s 7 -8 hours. Used to make 3-4...

Another positive post… cue the sad trombone

Too early???

120 heat index here yesterday. Pretty gross

It’s funny how certain states get bad reputations. In Kansas for me it was always the hordes of Texas guys in their King Ranch trucks and ten hole dog trailers. Funny thing was the western Kansas crowd hated us rich eastern Kansas liberals more 😂. I have had more than a couple SD farmers say we...

I imagine it can be frustrating. It took twenty years before I really did much road hunting in SD. Living and growing up in Kansas where it is not allowed, it never felt right.

So fifteen years or so ago I made the decision to buy a started Lab from a guy I knew in South Dakota. I kinda lucked into him as another guy had placed a deposit on him but he fell to me when his wife found out and nixed the deal. Buddy was a true flusher and a specimen of a dog at about 70#...
