    Really. Goose I had no idea you felt that way. I guess I will have to tell all the people that have booked hunts next year that they can't come because you said so. Also I am sure the rest of the outfits that offer hunts will close their doors because Goose said they should. It must be...

    Drahthaar experiences

    When I got mine I told the breeder that I did not want the alpha male. He made the selection for me and it worked out well.

    Drahthaar experiences

    My biggest problem with my DD was that he pointed birds so far away that I had trouble knowing where they were.

    Drahthaar experiences

    I have had three dogs. A pointing chocolate lab, a German wirehair and a DD. By far the DD was the most talented of the three. I found a really good breeder and had him professionally trained. So it is not apples to apples but the DD was awesome and had an amazing nose. He was a very...

    Thank you for all the kind comments. It is nice to be recognized for what has been a lifetime project. The greatest reward is being able to live here and do what I get to do. It has been an honor to be able plan the habitat, plant the trees and decide where the cover crops are going to be...

    Izaak Walton League

    Long before I got in the business, like when I was a kid, I decided that this was going to be wildlife paradise. It goes back to books written by Thorton W. Burgess, in case anyone else knows what they are. Having habitat benefits all wildlife not just pheasants. We are Audubon certified. We...

    Izaak Walton League

    This is a little unusual for me as I am rather private. Last week I was presented with the Izaak Walton League Wildlife Habitat Award. Three people were awarded this award in South Dakota. This is gratifying and the reason that I mention it is that this probably would not have happened if I...

    Do your research, they are not all alike. Here we offer a 3 day hunt and a four night stay. It is unguided, you clean your own birds do your own cooking. I give you a tour and a map and all the advice you want. We are a working mans hunt with no frills. I am sure you can find the other end...

    Best cover type for pointing dogs

    That depends on the time of day and the weather. Among other things.

    Could hemp be a good cover crop for pheasants?

    Sunn hemp is used in cover crops as it is a legume but hemp is not.

    North Central Ice

    There is still plenty of ice here now but the next few days should help.

    19° with a steady 17/20 mph wind , is everyone soft?

    I don't have any studies, but I do have anecdotal evidence. There comes a time when birds are in survival mode that any decent hunter will leave them alone. I applaud your consideration for the wildlife'

    Full choke lead

    I have always used a full choke, it is what my model 12 Winchester 16 gauge is and always has been. To me it is the perfect pheasant gun. After polling all the hunters that have hunted here this year, modified is the overwhelming choice.
