I was walking through my local Walmart today and found this 73/27% hamburger on sale. 5 lbs for under $20. The canned Wellness dog food I buy every now and then sells for $4.18 a can, so I got 5 lbs of beef for less than 5 cans of dog food. I bought 3 tubes for the freezer.

I was hoping to get out for another hunting trip this season but I am looking at weather forecasts and all I'm seeing are single digit or negative temps and snow. I've hunted in those temps before and it just doesn't work for me or my dogs. Just too frigin cold to hunt more than an hour or two...

The Three Trails Pointing Dog Club in Kansas City would like to hold a seminar next year on first aid in the field for gun dogs. We would would like to have a local Vet go through what first aid bird hunters should carry in their hunting vest, what we should have in the first aid kit in our...

With the colder weather coming, I decided it was time to get winterized a bit to ensure my dogs and I are comfortable in the truck. - Got kennel covers on my kennels that I keep in the back of my truck. They make a big difference for the dog. - Put a wool blanket in my truck to put over the top...

I just made reservations to stay in a small town, that I've never been to, in an area I've never hunted. It's about as remote as I can find and it's going to be a long 2 day drive for me. I'm going by myself, taking 2 dogs and plan on hunting 7 days in the field before I leave. I'm leaving on...

I've figured out that my male Vizsla doesn't travel well and it isn't unusual for him to skip meals after a long trip....which isn't convenient when we're hunting. He isn't a big eater regardless and I'm thinking hard on adding probiotics to his food and see if it adds value. We have a long trip...

Anyone using a Dremel for their dogs nails? If so, what attachment are you using? Sanding wheel or diamond nail grinder? I'm thinking about upgrading from the hand nail clippers.

I want to get some quick clot gauze for my first aid kit. Several brands on Amazon but I have no idea if there is a difference in quality. Prices are all similar. Is one brand better than another or is there a specific brand you can recommend? I've never used the stuff so I thought I would ask...

My small trailer has the Dexter EZ lube system and I need to put in some fresh bearing grease before I take it on my next trip. Planning on keeping it simple and buying a couple tubes of the Lucas Red n Tacky tomorrow unless someone has a better recommendation. I can get Mystic and Valvoline red...

I got out my small game knives last night to sharpen and pack up. I got them on clearance years ago at the LL Bean store. Two of them are Canadian Grohmann knives and one is an LL Bean labeled thin blade boning knife w/ a big fat walnut handle. I didn't pay much for any of them. They have an XX...

Thought I would forward some information about the dangers of leaving water bottles in your vehicle. I have been guilty of leaving water bottles in my truck on hunting trips both for me and my dogs but I have to come up with a better solution...

Finally, a break in the weather so I decided to start cleaning what needs to be cleaned, charging what needs to be charged and buying what needs to be bought. Going through everything and getting things clean, organized and ready to go. I have a number of things I still need to get done between...

These hot days have been boring so I started to plan some trips and book some rooms. Just reserved an Airbnb for 11 days in a super secret location in ND. I haven't hunted ND before, so I'm excited. Boredom can be expensive.

The Three Trails Pointing Dog Club is sponsoring a snake avoidance clinic on July 26th, at the James A. Reed Wildlife Area near Lee's Summit. Great opportunity to educate your dog and reduce the risk of a snake bite during the season.

I need to replace my Chevy Colorado truck tires. My current Falken Wildpeaks are getting pretty thin on tread. They have performed rally well on a lot of trails and unmaintained roads. They don't make the same AT3W anymore and I don't like the new upgraded version, so I've spent the last few...

For those so inclined:

My 3 year old Vizsla has heartworm. We have been giving all of our dogs Sentinel on a monthly basis and it clearly didn't work in his case. My other two are fine and he likely got it running in hunt tests late last year. We are going through the treatment protocol right now. He should be fine...

My 3 year old Vizsla tested positive last week for heart worms. I give my dogs a dose of Sentinel the first week of every month, so you would think that the monthly medicine would have prevented or resolved the issue but it didn't. My other 2 dogs were both negative. Now on antibiotics and...

I continue to have issues with my account. There isn't anything wrong with my email address but I continue to get notices about issues and I can't post. Getting tired of having to reset. Anyone help? Thanks.

Spent the last two weekends volunteering and working at local AKC hunt tests for pointing dogs. Those hunt tests were sponsored and run by local dog clubs and both had nice turnouts with well over 120 dogs at each. The main issue I saw was the lack of help...especially from younger hunters and...
