    Got invited to vacation in Souix Falls

    so some friends of ours have a cabin in Souix Falls for an extended weekend the third weekend of October. They invited us to join them. So I have a few questions for you northerners. What is there to do in Souix Falls? Or the surrounding area. I also noticed that pheasant season is open at...

    Burris speed bead for cross eye dominance

    I am one of those unfortunate souls who was born right handed and left eyed. I grew up learning to shoot with only my right eye open. I am not a great shot, not awful, but certainly not worthy to hunt over a hardworking dog. I have tried all sorts of things to remedy the cross eye dominance...

    Wild sunflower habitat for pheasant

    So when I was back in my home town to dove hunt last weekend I did a bit of scouting of my usual spots. 1 of the fields was solid wild sunflowers. It literally looked like it had been planted to wild sunflowers. I know I really don't like hunting fields that have too much sunflower in the as...

    A great hunting dog story from The Saturday Evening Post

    I picked up the July issue of Sporting Classics Magazine over the weekend. I had never read the magazine before, but it had a Setter on the front that looked just like Ox and it was nice and thick which meant it would kill a good deal of time whilst waiting at the hospital (had a baby girl on...

    Anyone going to the World's largest gun show in Tulsa this weekend

    I was planning to attend but I had some stuff come up and can't go. I have never been to the show before but I hear it is quite the spectacle. From the website: Something to think about: If all our tables (2800 8ft. and 1300 6ft.) were placed end to end they would stretch 5.7 miles! If you...

    Truck Topper system for Bird Hunting

    Well this post has been a long time coming. Here is the back story. I live about 2 hours from where I grew up and from where my folks and just as important, my hunting buddies live. One of my hunting buddies has 2 shorthairs and a three hole box. Great! As long as its just the two of us, but...

    Small world.

    I was out enjoying the nice warm weather with my family this afternoon, taking Ox for a run. We bumped into a fellow with 2 setters. After discussing our Setters for a bit we realized that Ox and his pup Willow were litter mates! We had a real nice chat. At lunch I saw a guy wearing a Quail...

    Interesting new truck storage system

    http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2014/02/05/new-storage-system-designed-to-deck-out-your-pickup/?intcmp=features I just built a home made one of these these to go under my topper. Now I wish I would have saved my money and bought one of these.

    Garden City Area

    I have one last weekend to plan a trip. This trip I am trying to pay back my cousin for a successful Goose hunting trip (he has not hunted pheasants before). I would really like to get him into a few birds. I may have an option to hunt some private ground around Garden City and south of Garden...

    Snow impact on birds

    Unlike George Costanza I have never claimed to be a Marine Biologist, or a regular biologist. I have learned a lot about upland biology on this forum over the years now. But I could use another lesson. So far in Manhattan and Hutchinson (the two places I spend most of my time) have had between...

    Single shot?

    I know some of you on here are manly enough to hunt with a single shot. I was thinking about singles this morning while lugging my Benelli around. Those of you who do hunt with singles what do you use? Most of the singles I run across are either fancy trap guns with extra long barrels or extra...

    Which is easier to point, Quail or Pheasant?

    I was wondering which you all think is easier to point? Quail or pheasant. I always thought quail were easier, but my pup Ox has been locking down pheasant this year and busting coveys. It's only his second season so I am quite happy with his performance on pheasant. Perhaps it's simply a...

    Increasing calories before the season

    How early before the season starts do you start increasing your dogs ration? Or do you at all?

    Division 1A vs 1AA

    As I was sweating through my shoes at the K-state game Saturday I got to thinking... Would you rather be a fan of a mediocre Division 1 school (example Mizzou, Mississippi State etc) that is usually bowl eligible but rarely competes for conference championships or a Division 1AA school that is...

    Transporting your dog

    After my last thread on here "think English setters aren't tough" I think most of you can understand why I am asking this question. Which do you think is a safer way of transporting your dog: not kenneled in a topper, or in a standard plastic dog crate in the back of a truck? I certainly...

    Think English Setters aren't tough?

    I assume that if we had a poll on the forum and asked the question which breed is the toughest there would be a wide variety of opinions. My guess is that the German breeds and most of the wirey haired ugly dogs would be high on the list. I am not real certain where all the breeds would fall but...

    Uggie? Churchill Royal

    Came across an English stocked SxS this week. A Churchill Royal 3" chambers. It's in rough shape bluing worn off, light rust spots, no butt plate. I think it can be had cheap though. Was wondering if any of you know anything about them. My research has said they are rebranded Ugartecha 30's. any...
