    Weather Conditions near Watertown, SD?

    When you say just west of Watertown I hope you are looking at 50 or more miles west. I've lived in Watertown for the past 12 years and pheasant numbers have been down around here the entire time. I haven't heard any numbers from the area yet this year. The birds may have taken somewhat of a...

    Changing dog food

    I know dog food prices have almost doubled. I used to think that if you could buy a good quality food for $1 per pound that wasn't too bad. Not it's about $2 per pound. I feed my Brittany PPP and a 35 lb. bag is currently right at $70. But that bag lasts over 3 months so my monthly cost for...

    Boondocking

    When you boondock, there are no connections to water, electricity, and sewer like you’d find in a developed campground. There aren’t any bathrooms, water spigots, or picnic tables. It’s just you, your camper, and a piece of land to call your own for a night or two. Boondocking is generally free...

    GSP getting cut up

    It just goes with the territory. If you have a fairly big running hunting dog it's going to get cut up, depending on the cover, etc. I've got a big, hard running Brittany and I can't count the number of times she has had a cut or two.

    Huns?

    I think that Huns have become nearly non-existant in South Dakota. You might bump a covey once in a great while during a pheasant hunt but that's about it. I haven't seen a Hun in SD for many years. If you really want to hunt Huns you need to look at western North Dakota or Montana.

    South Dakota Hunting Atlas Map

    I don't think the new Atlas is available yet. Usually it doesn't come out until sometime later in August.

    Hunting with a brittany dog

    They do as well as any other dog in warm weather. My last two Britts have been predominately white in color and that reflects some sun and heat. They have also had short flat coats that never need trimming. Coats have a lot to do with the breeding.

    Hunting with a brittany dog

    I've had Brittanys for nearly 30 years. How big a Brittany runs is really not any different than most pointing dog breeds. It depends largely on the breeding and training. If you get a dog who's breeding is from field trial dogs you will generally get a bigger running dog. Especially one...

    We got our trip scheduled

    Now you are talking about my area. I grew up in Canby and had great pheasant hunting back in the 50's and 60's. I've lived in South Dakota for the past 45 years. 33 in Aberdeen and the last 12 in Watertown. Hunting in the Watertown area since I've been here has been quite poor with low bird...

    Dog teeth cleaning?

    I know this thread is almost a year old but wanted to update you on the cost of teeth cleaning. Since my normal vet was going to cost $400-500 I looked around locally. Found a very reputable vet here in Watertown that was much more reasonable. I took Bree in today because her teeth were...

    Kick-eez Slip on recoil pads

    If what your are proposing really worked everyone would be doing it and I don't know of anyone that has. Just get a new recoil pad and have a competent gunsmith fit it to your gun with your proper length of pull. Forget about trying to adjust the LOP depending on the amount of clothing you are...

    Hunting 2 dogs

    Should not be an issue hunting a male and female together as long as the female is not in heat. I hunted a male and female Brittany together for several years with no issue but my female was spayed. As far as wanting to breed them. I would highly discourage it unless the dogs are something...
