That's true. But my friend lives right there on the land and just has not seen very many birds this year. Hopefully it's just a local pocket and not representative of the whole area.

I normally buy a Minnesota non-resident license and hunt a friends private land SW of Canby. However, I didn't buy a license last year and I've been debating about getting one this year, so I called my buddy. He said hunting this past weekend in his area was not good at all. He said he has...

I've used both the Cabelas and the Sylmar for probably 20 years and never had one of my Brittanys get chafed pits. Obviously each dog has it's own size and fit so you have to go with what works for your dog.

5" was in some isolated areas not widespread. But 1.5"+ is quite common across a lot of the state and there is still a little more to come today. No doubt the harvest has been halted for now but a few days of sunshine and some wind and they will be right back at it.

The Roger's strap vest looks somewhat like the WingWorks and a pretty good deal for $80. However, it is no WingWorks vest. I've owned a WingWorks for over 10 years and it's the best. But you pay for it. The two biggest issues I see with the Rogers is water bottle holders and loading the game...

The Sylmar and Cabela's vests are very similar. Sylmar is built better and lasts longer.

Try this one. I've had excellent luck with them. https://www.gundogsupply.com/sylmar-body-guard-dog-vest.html

When you say "grouse" what species are you referring to? Since you are referencing trees I am going to assume Ruffed Grouse?

Where are you located and when you say east river could you narrow it down a little. The area around Summit, SD has some sharpies but not in great supply. A couple of years ago I ran into several but last year and so far this year I haven't seen much. I hunted a section of WIA in that area a...

If you are looking for a bigger running GWP I would contact Jason Norton near Ellendale, ND. Jason has been running GWP's in NSTRA for many years and has had multiple champion dogs. He really has some great GWP's. He might have some pups available right now...

While there is a lot of public land in the areas you mentioned, normally those area are not the best pheasant areas. Yes, there are birds there but if you stay west of Hwy 37 you will have better luck.

4, 5, or 6 shot through an IC or Mod choke will get the job done. Just remember, the size shot or choke in your gun doesn't matter if you don't do your job and center up your target. More shot, more velocity or choke constriction won't help if you're a poor shot. ;)

It appears that it will be an early harvest here in SD. Beans are being combined and I've even seen some corn being combined. I haven't heard what the moisture content is on the crops but with the dry weather we have been having they should dry down fairly fast. There is rain moving into the...

It's all a matter of taste. Personally I do not like Sharpies. I've tried many different ways to prepare them and none have tasted good.

I searched "Kennel Cough" on the site and it appears the subject has not been discussed for quite some time. I had to kennel my Brittany over the Labor Day weekend and this week she came down with Kennel Cough. She gets an annual Bordetella shot but from what I've been reading dogs can get...

Bear in mind that you are dealing with percentages. In other words if there was 1 bird per mile last year there now may be 1.4-2 per mile in that area. Even a 100% increase doesn't mean there will be an abundant number of birds in SW Minnesota this year. However, it is nice to see that the...

Do any of you guys feeding the high protein and high fat food have any issues with your dogs putting on excess weight? I have a spayed female Brittany and use to feed PPP 30/20 but she would add weight. I switched few years ago to PPP 26/16 and she does better. Still has more than enough...
