Howdy from the Texas Panhandle!

Horrible event in Uvalde TX today. Shooting at an elementary school has left 19 kids and two adults along with the shooter dead. Please keep the students, staff, and parents in your thoughts and prayers. Jim

Had arthroscopic on my knee and hunted 9 days later. You can do it.

Not sure if I've already posted but in order of all my GSP's...Ike, Tax, Jax, Duke, Lady, Zep, and Pete. Lady, Zep and Pete were rescues and have new homes plus a host of other rescues that I've rehomed.

Oh, sorry Zeb, didn't mean to hijack your post. $40-$50 for a box of shells to shoot ducks; heck, I'm going to the market and buying chicken...!

Hey Grit...what did that set you back. I'm thinking about the same thing.

I'm staying pretty busy with the consulting work and have been named Interim Assistant Superintendent in Vernon, TX. I'm training some employees to take over by July 1...??? I work three days a week at an hourly rate, with travel, lodging and per diem. Not a bad deal for now. I still enjoy...

I have big paws so it feels great to me.

My local bird dog club put on a Chuckar hunt (see bird dog post). I took a new to me A5 Sweet Sixteen with 7 1/2 shells. Wow, this thing points and shoots like a dream. Birds dropped dead with LM choke. I love my ‘old’ A5 but this much lighter and quicker ‘new’ A5 is the real deal.

My local club put on a hunt this morning. Jax and Duke knocked it out of the park.

Well after 38 years and a major school board turnover, I've officially retired. 13 years as a teacher/coach, 14 as a principal, and 11 as a superintendent. It was a great run. However, and with a partner, I have started an educational consulting group and are as busy as heck. Check us out at...

I've never hunted SD due to work commitments; however, I've recently retired and am planning to get up there asap regardless of costs.

I read this every year and now that I'm retired...I'm checking it out!

OK, I just have to ask. Has anybody actually lost their truck on a hunt...LOL. Just pulling your chain Jake. I agree, the Alpha is a fine collar.

Big R stores carry New (old box) Herter's...not sure if there's one near you though.

I feed once a day. As stated, I do drop down in protein and fat in the off-season. Really have no reasoning or data to back it up, it just works for my GSP's. They maintain there weight and coat. Stool doesn't change of if it does, I'm sure not noticing (still pick up a ton with two dogs)...

I feed Victor Professional at 30/20 a month before and during season then switch to Victor Performance 26/18 out of season. Although I work the dogs year round, there's no comparison in activity to the actual hunt. Also, keeps me from having to change serving amounts. Great coats, energy and...

Maybe a little. But I would have to go to confession over all my 16’s. New A5 as mentioned 67 A5 mint: traded a beat up Benelli M2 even NIB 2004 Browning Feather O/U: given to me by my dad Franchi Renaissance O/U $600 from an O/U hater. I’ve done well!

Stopped at a pawn shop on my way between Wichita Falls and home. This was on the shelf. $999, so $1080 out the door with eight; yes, 8 boxes of shells. Six boxes of 7 1/2 and two boxes of 4’s. Gun in Near new condition. No box and only modified choke. Seller said it was marked wrong but would...
