    First pheasant hunt for my son

    My son (12) shoots a 20ga over under. It’s pretty light and the safety has to be switched to take a second shot. That drives me nuts but it’s great for him he has to focus on one shot. I like that when we walk up to a group he can break it open and display safe gun handling. I look at the first...

    Help with 5 month old lab encouraging retrieving

    A couple people said it but it’s worth repeating. Be patient, your working with a puppy, keep your expectations there. Your dog is going to read your body language and if you get frustrated your dog will know and will respond to it. I’d encourage short training sessions mixed with a little fun...

    How is everyone's spring habitat projects going?

I had my dads rem 1100 jam one with quality shooting opportunities a couple times and that stopped me from getting a semi. I don’t get out enough to let a gun failure be to blame. It’s hard enough to...

    How is everyone's spring habitat projects going?

    I planted switch grass last year and I thought it didn’t come in but I realized this spring that I have patched of it everywhere. It’s not thick but I was excited because I thought I was going to start from scratch. I still have a lot of weeds and am wondering if I should try to mow it to...

    Training with a second dog

    I have a chocolate lab that is 3. I have done my best to work with her and have a 3-4 acre field on my property with tall cool season grasses (trying to plant SG)that I use almost strictly for training. I’ve bought quail with a recall pen in the past and have done a lot to get her in front of...
