I'm going to share a photo journal of my season and travels here. A lot of these pics will be cross posted on other threads as well with maybe more commentary on those threads. With a green pup and an older dog with a touch of arthritis my expectations of this season are tempered, it's all about...

So do to the bad reports and drought in SD and MT and the drumming counts from MN I decided to try my hand at grouse hunting. Unfortunately it looks like the drumming counts were misleading but here I am anyways making the best of my 2,000mi (one way) trip. We were skunked the first day, only...

I've had a bit of a creative bug lately and have been doing a few sketches. The lab is a friend of mines dog who recently passed way too young.Don't laugh too much at JP's short front legs please.

There are tons of mountain quail in my slice of the woods this year. If I figure out how to post pics again I'll try to share some of my pup on our recent scouting trips. Good luck to everyone heading out!:cheers:

Alright guys, I'm thinking about making the trip up to the north woods to put my dogs on some grouse and woodcock. I think I can probably come out anytime in October and my question is, is there a time to not be in the woods with the dogs (deer rifle season maybe) during that time? How bad are...

I'm sure we all knew this was coming sooner or later. https://cdfgnews.wordpress.com/2017/06/23/sage-grouse-hunting-suspended-for-2017-season/

I know there's no science to this but I was wondering if anyone has experienced a direct rattle snake bite to your dogs nose? Lady got one last night in my backyard unfortunately and I worry (now that she's out of the woods) that this will affect her nose. Poor little girl.

My brother and I got into some good sized shell crackers this weekend on the Sacramento River and I figured I'd share. We didn't spend a whole lot of time on them since we were bass fishing but we caught a handful in the 1-1.5lb range.

I know it's a long shot but I was wondering if anyone has a current email address for our old friend John. I lost his contact and was just wanting to say hi and see how he's doing. If anyone has his email I would sure appreciate it if you'd share it with me.:cheers: Robert

This long tailed English dog followed me home today, what have I done?:eek: No name yet but she's got some spunk! I hope I can direct it towards birds.:cheers:

My brother isn't on here though some of you know him. I just have to share the fish he caught today, she was post spawn and very skinny but still went 13lbs 4oz and 28" long. We've been fishing our whole lives for this one and I sure hopes it's not his fish of a lifetime. Congrats James...

Could be some catastrophic flooding coming towards the North Valley/ Butte sink area. I hope it's not as bad as they're saying it could be and I hope you all stay safe up there. http://www.fresnobee.com/article132332499.html

A little road trip for the weekend. Hot and dry but still a great time. Some weather will help the cause for sure.

Now I've seen everything! No need to drive to the prairie states anymore to check a chicken off your list, we have them here now apparently. :eek:They're wasting their targeted add money on me, that's for sure.:cheers:

So in my search for a new barrel for my a5 and looking at schematics to make sure my friction ring was setup right I stumbled upon an oddity, the double auto. I know it's an oddity because I've never heard mention of it on here despite nothing but glowing reviews I've read about it. Now I've...

As of now I am the owner of a beautiful Belgian a5 mag 20ga. It has a 28" fixed full choked barrel which limits me to the dreaded hevi shot for hunting pheasants here at home so I am in the market for an extra barrel. If anyone happens to see a 20ga mag barrel for sale in any incarnation let me...

Well my brother and I are on the road again to scratch the itch. This is my first quail opener I've missed in 9 years but they'll be there when I get home. First stop is in Bridger, MT on some family land. The cover is beautiful and the birds are here but this wind has them jumpy despite not...

Here's a good read for you guys. It's on a subject I'm sure we're all experiencing right about now. http://ultimateupland.com/pavlov-didnt-bird-dogs/

Whether bird numbers are down or not I know that SD will be 10x (at least) better than the pheasant hunting I have here and I can't wait to hunt with some good folks and good dogs. Is it October yet? The dogs and I are itching.:cheers:

Just saw this today, making chile rellenos is kind of a pain but I think I'll be making a batch soon.:cheers: http://honest-food.net/2015/09/17/chiles-rellenos-recipe-picadillo/
