    Let's talk cattail strategies

    My 1st Lab was a beast.....typically just a touch over 90lbs (not fat). His strategy was to just simply go thru anything and everything.....so he and I hunted cattails alot. He simply "parted" them and I followed! You always knew where he was in the cattails too! Lol. But he was graceful as...

    2024 Pheasant Pics/Reports

    Both birds, about 200 yards apart on differing sides of food field, had crops full of corn.....so I'm guessing all of them were out on there feeding and I caught them just right heading back into cover.

On...

    Cactus Spine in a Dogs Paw

    BIL's lab put a plum tree thorn through the webbing between the toes a couple years ago.....it pussed up and started infection within 2 days....I put some pressure like popping a pimple and all the gunk and a piece of it came out. Still ended up at the vet, they had to lance it and take out the...

    Cactus Spine in a Dogs Paw

    I wouldn't wait any longer if it has been this long. It probably won't work it's way out and may end up working it's way to the bone or a tendon, which could get really problematic. If it didn't "puss" up and infect to get it out, it's going to start causing damage inside eventually.

    Late Season Hunt

    I have also had good luck with Airbnbs.....pretty much all I use anymore.....which is great when you have a guy or 2 to split with. And no, you won't find anything in the $50-$60 a night range. Then tack on pet fees and cleaning fees, it adds up fast. The good thing about them for the most...

    Late Season Hunt

    Looking at heading out from Wisconsin at the end of this month into the 1st week in January.....last year at that time I stayed in Bowdle and ventured from there. I've stayed in Hosmer and Hecla hunting near those places on previous trips, but not late season. Looking for thoughts/lodging ideas...

    I'm in Fond du Lac......I have a few decent spots in the Theresa Marsh that give up birds, especially later in the year. Most of my other time I'm in Fond du Lac County and into Sheboygan County on public. Born and raised here.

    Dog not eating when on the road hunting

    Get a Lab......they think with their stomachs! LOL! Kidding aside.....beef or bone broth really helps. Stay away from the "human" junk......canines cannot process the preservatives, sugars, etc in human foods....it'll do more harm than good. Canine supplements that are proven too.....on trips...

    2024 Season In Pictures, Guns, Game And Dogs

    Was able to scratch out some birds, mix of pheasants and huns, but had to work for them and put on miles. Only hunted PLOTS, what is birdy that we hunted had been hit pretty hard as evidenced by the tire tracks, dressed carcasses and empty shiny shells. Trip was cut short yesterday due to a...
