So this afternoon I got out around 3. Some private ground of a friend which has very little pheasant hunting directly on it. It is a mile from town so ditch hunting and all out trespass do put pressure on the birds. Hunting by myself with just my female dog. Started hunting a little draw that...

Both can be found at Runnings or Dunhams although picked over by now.

My hunting buddy Dr. Rod Brandenberger will have a booth with his V.D.D.s and some info on our 40th annual Pheasants Forever banquets. I plan on being around there some so if anyone is there stop by and introduce yourself.

I believe many dogs get their reputation and deservedly so because of how they are raised. Some of the dogs like vdds and wirehairs are raised for the German tests and high prey drive , and the fur drive are deemed essential. Those dogs tend to be hunting dogs not great in the house pets. That...

3 guys 7 pointing dogs 😀 Hunted some of the same private ground i and 1 other guy limited out in on Friday afternoon. Today never hardly saw a bird for the first 45 minutes. Crp grass field and cattails. We got a little split up because the other 2 guys aren't that familiar with the property...

I take the G.F. & P. employee hunting with me. Sheriff's Deputy also and I would the take the local police with me but the one's i know are all to old/out of shape to go.

Dog may have been 90 #'s but at least it was probably only 10 overweight. What is the fascination with 100 pounders?

My son is back for Xmas so we went hunting this afternoon and plan on doing all week. Very foggy out this afternoon and no sun to melt frost off the grass. We got soaked but did manage a bird each. He was happy to get out and glad he connected on his 1 chance. First place we hunted is private...

My buddy had his 2 dogs out for a group of 6 guys on Friday afternoon. His private ground that is a haven for wildlife. They got 9 birds but had many flushed out of range. He called me Saturday morning and asked if I wanted to hunt with him after 1. He explained the group situation and I asked...

What boots make it easiest to walk thru heavy cover? The flat ended ones, the rounded ones, or the pointed ones aka cock roach killers? Just having fun here.

It is drier in many areas then the map shows.

Great contacts can be made regarding almost anything. Need to know where to get snake avoidance training? Anti-venom ? Emergency vets near your destinations? Hotels that allow dogs but aren't for the dogs? Birds for training. Equipment for training. Almost all groups also keep a eye on...

The best preparation makes for the best burn. If you are wanting to do a spring burn fall mowing and baling gives a great headstart. If not done in the fall mowing and raking is a good idea. Lots of water and people who know what is expected of them is a absolute. We burned 4 pieces yesterday...

Wild pheasants try many things to escape danger(us). Someone asked about pointers being able to pin/point educated birds? I believe whatever has worked for the bird in the past is what they do=learned behavior. I have shot many birds over points where the bird was holding on the edge of cover...

My friend has 2 labs and after hunting with my buddies vdds and my weims informed us that he told his better half "when the old dog can't hunt anymore we are getting a versatile". He says it's just too simple not to.

Brookings County Pheasants Forever is holding our 39th annual banquet. If you guys went to pheasantfest and couldn't find anything to buy come to our banquet and try to win something. Plenty of quality guns. I personally am donating a Browning Sweet 16. Don't be a stranger ask any committee...

People are always asking about traveling and minimum maintenance roads.. stay off the minimum maintenance roads and you won't ever get stuck on a minimum maintenance road. Most gravel roads are passable.. if in doubt turn around.

Probably everyone knows how embarrassing this is . Well today I have a dog on point in snowed in short grass. Kicking around and the bird literally comes out under my foot dang near tipped me over. Of course I recovered in time for the obligatory miss.

So in the Minnesota forum there is a thread on a dog dies at trainer. I think this should be Moved to this area? Also a few years ago their was a Iowa kennel named something like run n gun , where the owner couldn't be found and dogs were abandoned, anyone know more about this?
