Newbie to the video camera (GoPro) thing... Posted in our state forum last week... thought I'd post a few over here as well. ;) Both pooches are in their "1st year" and we're having fun. Our 7 year old (all liver in video) hadn't been out more than a dozen times in her life and now that I'm back...

Picked up a Gopro... none of these gadgets are probably worth the cash but I decided to blow a few bucks and get one anyway. VERY easy to use and I honestly had to check several times to be sure it was still mounted since it's so lite. A week ago we had a really tough all day hunt (though we...

I read through the old posts. What are the must haves you'd recommend when I buy one of these? Planning on a Silver unless convinced otherwise... Here's all I have at this point... no doubt, I'm sure I'm missing some things? This is a case where I'd rather buy a little extra than wish I has...

Gorgeous day for a walk today after the nasty weekend storm. It didn't take long before the jacket came off... much nicer than I thought it would be today. Great conditions to run our rats (as my wife calls them). 9 month old... I think she was telling me to get on with it... let's go, no time...

Gone... thanks

My daughter and I made a drive to see a litter of pups last week that we'll be getting a pup from shortly. We already have a nearly 7 year old GSP and I had swore we'd never have two pooches again after putting two down on the same day about 7 years ago... but here we go again! My wife is not...

My previous dog loved her box... kept a box in the house and one stayed in my SUV during hunting season. My 6 yr old GSP is to good for hers (ha), thanks to my wife, but doesn't hate it either. I have another GSP coming and I'm thinking about getting a 2 door box for the back of my SUV (Toyota...

Just ran across this link for land owners... I personally don't know anything about the program but thought someone here could be interested. http://www.iowadnr.gov/insidednr/socialmediapressroom/newsreleases/vw/1/itemid/2431

Well, my season ended on Saturday with a final hunt/training day with my pooch. I wanted to get her out for another day in hopes to work her on a few more birds at the end of a mediocre season at best. Pheasant season is closed which was fine and quail was still open with the slight chance we'd...

List the "armor" your pooches wear in the field. My Brit years ago rarely wore a thing. My GSP needs more protection in the field so I'm looking for what others are doing with theirs. My GSP wears a vest every time out. She's an inside baby, so her paws aren't nearly as tough as they should...

Curious which wildlife organizations others are sending a few bucks to or are members of? I'm not tied to any of these other than being a member of PF and now a new member of QF (so no sales pitch going on here by me). Which ones are you tied to or send a little money to? I'm sure the good ones...

Hey guys, I'm not looking for anyone's honey hole... I have family considering land on the south side of Rathbun. So I may take my final day hunting (Sat) to make a run down there to peak at the land and also run my pooch on the public ground in an attempt to get her on one more bird before...

Hey guys... I'm adding a second pooch and will be getting one of these collars. It's incredible with the tech that's available now. I've been out of the hunting game for a hand full of years and haven't bought a collar for 7ish years. I typically run just a collar on my dog but occasionally...

Hunted a pretty big private piece today in the Bremer/Chickasaw area I've hunted for years... saw 3 hens & 2 roosters... sad, but that makes for a pretty good walk now days. I walked another nice water way after and saw zero birds. First rooster flushed on the other side of the creek bank after...

Hey guys... After a hiatus, I'm finally back at it. I used to spend 2-3 days a week chasing these birds around with our Brittany. Six years ago we brought home a new member (GSP) of household after we lost our Brittany with plans to hunt (though not as much) but haven't done much of anything...

Curious how far everyone here is driving for there hunts? I've always been around 30-40 minutes to most of my spots... but I've been giving some serious thought to making a 3+ hour run in hope of getting my pooch on a bird or two more consistently... my kids have no interest. :/ It's a struggle...

Hey guys... Great forum! I'm trying to get back into the swing of things and do a little more bird hunting. Up until about 7-8 years ago, I hunted a TON with my old Britt for about 9-10 years. The two of us bagged 50-100 a year and did most of our hunting solo and on weekdays. In the beginning...
