    What does your dog do when you miss a bird?

    If I shoot they continue watching in disbelief. When others miss they look back at me laughing then go on.

    How many birds do you shoot in a season?

    I also have 3 different friends that have older out of state hunters here. I will probably get a call to bring the dogs and hunt with them. They all have great private ground.

    Increasing Dog’s Energy Level

    I am glad she isn't gunshy. I never thought she was my point is gunshy is very hard to cure but done properly with many birds it is possible. If that can be cured with many birds so can other things.

    Increasing Dog’s Energy Level

    It takes birds to make a bird dogs. Some dogs need way more birds then others. PK uses lots of birds/bird contacts to get dogs over gunshyness. In your case start out with birds in light cover and keep increasing the cover until the dog is hunting close because of how heavy the cover is. As...

    Dasuquin

    One of my dog has been favoring a front leg off and on for about 4 months. I took him to my old school vet who handled up on him pretty good and the diagnosis was probably arthritis as the dog is almost 9. I took him to my other vet and had him xrayed. They said only thing we see is a little...

    South Dakota Pheasant Hunting Is Changing, Or Has Changed

    Well I see way more out of state hunters that are hunting public ground with dogs. Trailers and vehicles with multiple dog crates are more common then ever.

    Hen to rooster ratios?

    Hunted with my son and 2 of my weims tonight. First 10 birds were hens. Wondering if I jinxed us. Finally shot a rooster took the dogs a while to retrieve it. They worked the blind retrieve for a couple minutes made a recovery 70 yards away. Then 5 minutes later another rooster shot. Looking for...

    Hen to rooster ratios?

    It just occurred to me that I see way more roosters then hens most days that I hunt. There are days where the hens are 20× the number but that isn't often. It does happen on public ground more then private.

    I have been out 4× less then 3 hours total time. By myself twice and twice with another dog guy. 15 birds total. I am not a fan of hunting above 45°. From Dec. 1 till Jan. 31 i will probably shoot 150 birds. That is about my normal take during the end of the S.Dak. season.

One night that I had off we are watching a movie (from Block Buster😁) and the dog gets up and walks to the hall way and just stares at us. Roommate says dammit...

    Strange things dogs do.

    More then once I have watched Willie side stepping hackles raised growling at something. Once a mailbox , once a old flannel shirt on a corner post , and oddly enough a dead tree he had seen 50× before in a creek bottom. Other times equally as funny.

    Best all around e-collar for training and hunting

    The Alpha has many bells and whistles it is just figuring them out and then remembering that is harder then it should be. That is the main complaint about the alpha. The small screen is the 2nd most common complaint.
