We have been out of school because snow days this week, so I decided to do a hunt. Lots of fun for the dogs. https://www.flickr.com/photos/142608273@N03/shares/54EYf6

I took a friend and his son on a quail hunt yesterday. We all had fun, including the dogs:

I took my annual SD trip the second week of November this year. It was warmer than usual and tough on the dogs, but we managed to bring home 40 birds between 4 of us. I took a friend that has never been, but he said his dad used to go back in the 60's and he always wanted to try. Here he is...

I put some quail and pheasants out today for my 8 month old pointer pup: She did a good job for her first time in birds.

My new grandson Joseph will be ready in about 12 years. Big brother Jeremiah is kind of proud.

Fireball Belle, 15 weeks old.

Got the dogs some work on some pen birds today. Dixie nailing a few: Sally finding some: Dixie found me a covey in a box: We managed to get most of them back:

I started getting the dogs out now that the weather is a little cooler. Sally found a few dove this morning. I'll get some quail soon and try to get the dogs in shape. Less than a month before we head to South Dakota.

Here's a photo blog from Bon Homme county that I found and would like to share. I have spent a lot of time hunting this area through the years, and many of the pictures are familiar. http://bhcountyphotos.blogspot.com/

Along with my friends Phil and Zane, I took a couple of college athletes that went to our high school on their first quail hunt today. They did very well and really enjoyed themselves. We have got to keep the bird hunting tradition alive. Dixie pointing a single for Ethan: Nice retrieve...

Put 10 birds out this morning for the dogs.

I have been getting the dogs out lately. Put some quail out in Tennessee and went to South Dakota last week. The weather wasn't very good for working dogs in SD, but did fairly well despite the winds and cold temps. Here's a few pics: Sally working some pen raised birds Dixie Three man...

Just picked up a new A5. I'll have this one for next fall along with my Auto 5 20 mag and Sweet 16. 1971 Light 12 with a 28 inch modified barrel.

I hate to see that there will be no new CREP sign ups for a while, but glad that existing contracts will continue. This is a very good program that provides opportunities for public land hunters. http://www.mitchellrepublic.com/content/conservation-program-enrollments-stopped

I recently bought an old Browning 20 gauge Auto 5. I plan on using it some next fall when I come to South Dakota, especially when walking the CRP fields with the dogs. What size shot should I use? 4, 5, or 6? 1960 A5 fixed skeet barrel Extra full choke barrel, I would really like to...

I turned some pheasants loose New Year's eve. The birds flew well and the dogs are learning to retrieve. I haven't found a single quail this year in Tennessee, so I guess this is what its come to.

Does anyone know if the CREP areas around the James River are subject to emergency haying like the regular CRP tracts are? I checked out and scouted several WIAs and CREPs last fall and I would like to know if they could possibly be hayed or grazed. Also, if they can be hayed, are they allowed...

I usually hunt South Dakota twice a year and hunt to the west of Yankton. About 3 years ago, I found a covey of Huns in Bon Homme county while pheasant hunting. Haven't found any more since. I have young setters and a pointer and would like to get them into some Huns as well as pheasants...

Looking to get a new 12 gauge for pheasant. I have a black Stoeger and would like something nicer and more dependable. I have decided to get something in wood. This would become my gun to use when hunting in CRP fields. I have looked at the Maxus, SX3 and the Benelli M2 and Montefeltro...
