Years ago I worked on a house in AK that someone from MN owned. He claimed to be an AK resident for tax purposes but his business was in MN. Don’t know how he did it but he claimed by being an AK resident it reduced his taxes so much he could fly back to MN a couple times a month and still be...

They hunt just fine in heat. Just keep them close so nobody else runs into you. Now if you also have an intact male he maybe out to lunch for a while.

A bit off topic but I did an agility trial today and one of my goldens got first and another got third in the masters standard run. This was with me having a bum knee. This week they will get introduced to desert quail I hope if I can figure out where to go for them.

It is probably the best private land program to allow the public to hunt. There are a lot of different rules. Some ranches allow only so many hunters, others make you contact the landowners and others just allow you to hunt by just signing in. A great program that is abused by some and loved by...

That sounds great, will try it when I get home. Last summer i wrapped some breasts in bacon and smoked them. Afterwards I cut them up and used on a pizza. Might smoke some and mix with bacon and grind for burgers now.

That is why for the last 3 years I have used a travel trailer. Might not save any money but the meals and peace of mind are priceless.

I’ve had goldens for hunting since the 70s, yes I am that old. Sometime around when Ford became president they became extremely popular and the hunting ability suffered. The hunting lines have come back and I see more of them in certain areas of the country. The northwest and alaska has a lot of...

The only good memory of the accident was that I got a double on roosters over my young dog about 15 minutes before I fell in the hole. She was working another one which I missed while half in the hole. Swelling is going down now, I even put my own shoes on today.

So my pheasant season ended a bit early when I stepped in a badger hole and my good knee looks like a soccer ball. However my travels will take me through AZ. Middle of December. So I know nothing about desert quail but would like to give it a shot. Give me the basics, at least enough so I can...

Yes I have been hunting the plains since the 90s. I’ve only driven the last 4 years, flying with a stashed vehicle in Seattle. Since retirement I have stashed a trailer in MT and drive just a car. Most NR licenses I’ve had in a year is 4. You must take a different route than me to see that many...

I found out about MT back in the 90s by pure luck. Than Wing and Shot and a couple other mags had features on it. The internet has only made it worse. Take away a large amount of CRP and it is more crowded.

Fought that battle for years and hated it. I usually travel with 4 dogs and told them 2. after all goldens all look alike right. Now I use a travel trailer and have total piece of mind. No hassle to speak of with almost all campgrounds.

For #1 heck yes it’s tough #2 no #3 gaiters

Dang now I know what I am doing wrong. Here I sit combing burrs out of my dogs after I cleaned my own birds. Then I have to dry my own boots out because I broke through the ice on a cat tail slough along with wet pants because I was busting snow all day. But I do have a 6 of craft beer to go...

Haven’t been in a couple years but was very poor for pheasants than. Friend went last year and said it was worse. That said there wasn’t many hunters so it will be peaceful. When I say poor another hunter said he saw 2 birds yesterday and he was going back to hunt that piece because he thought...

School trust lands in ND and SD are primarily grazed to nothing with extremely few exceptions. They are somewhat better in MT.

Most I’ve seen so far is $2.07 a liter, mostly $1.97. Small out of the way places are more.

My wife would divorce me. Actually our field bred red dogs don’t have much hair. Now my 14 year old spayed female is a real hairball.

Dropped down to $4.27 yesterday no idea why. Pulling boat today, heading south tomorrow, well actually heading north for the first day then hanging a right to head south.

I used to spray PAM on them before I started, but found the detangler that some recommended works just as well. I wouldn't shave them as we mostly hunt when it's colder and there is snow.
