    Limp dilemma

    My 8-year-old wire has been limping after hunting on a front foot/leg for a couple years. Neither me nor the Vet has any Idea. This year it's worse, sometimes not being able to put it down after a few hours of hunting. A half of a 100 mlg. Carprofen helps a lot. If I'm hunting every day, I'll...

    Gloves

    Here we go again. My old Thinsulate leather driving gloves are shot. No longer made. Bought a new pair last year, didn't last a month. I need a good pair that are tough enough to withstand briars. Also need to be thin enough to use on double triggers. Opinions appreciated.

    South central

    So, south central bird #s come up any? Was there a couple years ago. Quail #s were ok, Phez was pretty dismal. I'm trying to formulate a plan.

    Danged feet.

    I've been trying to get in shape for a while. Working out, walking. Lost some weight and feeling pretty good. My problem is, no matter what boots I wear, my feet hurt after about 5 miles. What's the best insoles? I remember reading a thread about it but can't find it.

    Reloading question

    For some of you reloading experts. I have a 1965 56e Beretta 20-gauge with 2 3/4 chambers. I had choke tubes put in it and have some turkey chokes ordered. As I'm trying to figure out what loads I'm going to shoot a thought accrued to me. Since a 2 3/4-inch shell is only 2 3/4 after it's fired...

    Worth the trip?

    Thinking about a late season trip. Anyone have a report from Marion/Logan counties? I know the pheasant numbers are down but quail numbers worth the trip?

    Front feet??

    Have heard guys say they only put boots on their dog's front feet. Anyone have an opinion? I'm not sure it's worth the risk.

    Trust your dog

    For the last couple days, all three dogs have been obsessed with a half drum of scrap steel out back in a lean to. I told them to cut the crap as I am not emptying out all that steel just so they can smell a mouse nest. Then, on a 93-degree afternoon I see two dogs digging the gravel from around...

    Land prices.

    If any of you guys are thinking about buying some ground, you might want to do it now. We were looking for 40-80 acers a few years ago but prices got out of hand before we got it done. It seemed like it took a few years or so before the prices raised out west so just to let you know, the prices...

    On X question

    I'm tech. challenged, so forgive me.. I'm trying. I finally got it figured out on my phone and it works great. I would like something with a bigger screen. Loaded it on my wife's Kendal but couldn't get it to work outside the hose. Is that because the kindal doesn't work on a satellite signal...

    Sun

    Wear sunscreen boys! Although they tell me the damage was probably done before i ever heard of sunscreen. Never once went into the sun for a tan or ever was in a tanning booth. But more days than most in the field and probably worse on the water

    CATTAILS

    Maybe a dumb question, but why is there still cattail draws in the Dakotas? Is it because they can't be drained because there is no place to drain them? Soil composition? Literally everything here is now field tiled. High ground, low ground. If it's farmed it's tiled! Also, if anyone knows, is...

    Evolution?

    I've wondered about this for a long time. I'm old enough to remember the tall tales from the 30's about the big bronze-colored bobwhites my grandpa and his brothers hunted. They almost always watched them land after the flush. They were half again the size of the birds we have now. When I was a...

    Being prepared

    I expect most of you guys in the western and northern states are prepared for these kind of weather events. But you wouldn't believe how many people down here are not prepared. I always thought I was prepared until I got caught in Kansas once in an ice storm. Long story short it was a bad deal...
