    Gsp breeder

    I’m helping my friend who is a life long lab guy search for a gsp breeder. I can vouch that he is a proven hunting dog owner who wants to add a pointing dog to the house. Not sure how far he would travel but let say Texas/nm/kansas/oklahoma/nebraska/ Colorado. Thanks!

    Little stumped

    Had this spot pop up on my dog a few days ago, it’s raised, irritated and looks like a carpet burn. He doesn’t seem to be in pain, and it’s not as bad as the picture looks, that was right after the clippers. I’ve seen hot spots before but the shape is bizarre. We have been hitting it hard 2-3...

    First South Dakota trip was a blast

    My dad, brother, two friends and I just finished an outstanding sd trip. Seeing a new part of the world with my 70 year old dad that is full of birds was an amazing experience. I’ll start by saying this, we never made a walk in 4 days without a shooting opportunity. Corn and sunflowers in our...

    Quaility outdoor camera

    Anyone ever invested in a quaility outdoor camera? If so what kind or suggestions, a google search will show real quick that they can be more expensive than some shotguns. See a lot of scenic place while in the field or on the way and have a itch to capture on film if possible.

    Question for the South Dakota crowd??

    I read your post about the wild winter this year with snow and frigid temps, what’s your opinion on the effects of a harsh winter on prairie chickens and grouse compared to pheasants?

    A crowd that might appreciate!

    Did a remodel on our house last year where my wife made most the decisions, as she deserves. But man I got to run this corner of the living room, found and had a 1898 majestic cook stove fully refurbished, installed the chimney this weekend and burned my first fire last night. Awesome piece of...

    When and where?????

    I can remember with gps accuracy where I shot my first upland bird. I’m sure most of you can too, I think about that day often. Where was yours? 1989 Texas panhandle on my grandpa’s farm. Missed a bunch that year until I finally knocked one down in his favorite tail water pit. I made him...

    Silence is deafening

    Well someone has to start it, I’ve had five days in the field, three states and two trips to the vet… thanks barb wire! I’m not ready to make a prediction for the year but it appears better than what I was expecting. Sand burrs are in places I’ve never had to boot a dog, timing of rain I...

    Farm logs

    I’ve been using this app for two years and for people who travel long distances like I do may be interested. Farm logs keeps a running tally of rain and snow through the course of the year on gps points of your choosing. Each location breaks it down to the day of occurrence, tracks yearly...

    Spaying female bird dogs

    It’s been a decade since I’ve had a female dog.. I need opinions on spaying a hunting dog as it relates to desire and drive, and does it truly slow down a dog. If my new pup two years from now is dynamite obviously I would consider breeding her, but if not spay and be done with it. I know...

    Anyone adding a dog this year?

    I’m adding a new pup to the kennel in a few months which made me wonder who else will be doing the same. Shaking things up a bit at my house with my first pudelpointer! I’ve been around quite a few and couldn’t hold out any longer. Kept my brothers pup this year December to February and she...

    What are you doing here??

    I took a day trip to nm this weekend to chase some blue quail. As I set up into the wind working through a pasture of cactus and plum thickets the dogs caught up with two coveys a blues that that flew in ever direction but up. We picked up some singles along the way having a great day.. after...

    Mid season thoughts??

    Thought I’d reach out to get everyone’s opinion 2021-22 season so far. Better/worse than expected? I personally think it’s slightly better than last year on the average, but not by much. Super dry with no humidity has been the only constant. It’s amazing dogs can smell anything at all, amazing...

    Young birds

    I’ve been out a few times this year and two things jump out, it’s improved slightly over last year and the few birds I’ve shot have been young. Even the blue quail I’ve found are the same. Great that we had a hatch but I’ve never seen this many young birds. Anyone else notice this?????
