My golden will be 4 years old on Veterans Day this year... She was not worth a hoot until her 3rd birthday... She had shown some signs when she was a 1 and 2 year old, by the last hunt last season, she was what I would call good. Not ready to anoint her just yet, but I am excited to get this...

Eggs and Mary's Kitchen Hormel Hash for breakfast. Suppers I like to pack along and easy cooking are kielbasa and kraut, I also have been known to bring a box of shells and cheese with a pound of hamburger and a can of Rotel. I pack a rocket stove and mess kit and have been known to heat up...

Honest question... how many people have had or personally know of a dog that has been too hot or too cold while in a kennel while in a vehicle? I am not sure how everyone kept their dogs safe before these modern technologies. I have a 2 dog patriot dog box and carry it both under a topper and...

It is indeed a K9 Condo. On a side not, during the recent weather we have had I have been letting dog run in the kennel, 10x15 with the north, west and south sides all protected from wind via 2 buildings and a privacy fence, for about an hour then putting her back in the box in my garage for...

Pretty good last day of the season for me and the dog. Lots of snow and more falling as I type and lots more in the forecast this week. Hope the birds hold up well. It has been one heck of a season so far and just a couple hunts remaining in neighboring states.

I got all my chores done for the day (Except get the new snowblower running) around noon and went out to see what I could see. The cover is blown shut for the most part around me, and the wind picked up so I headed back to town without getting out of the truck. Got all the rest of my stuff done...

I have a pair of crispi that I have not worm much at all (10 days of casual walking and 20 hunts) and they are falling apart. I am a footware nut and WILL NOT wear the same pair of boots 2 days in a row, often times not wearing a pair for a couple days since last time. I have 2 pair of...

2.75" Estate #5 shot lead thru an IC choke

It was 9:30 before I was able to sneak off for the day... back to town at 3. Had poor shooting on 2 that I just missed and one other roster I didn't even have my gun loaded for!

My golden turned 3 on Veterans Day... she has really started to please me bird hunting this year... my only complaint about her is she just seems to stumble onto scent and then starts to hunt. Is there a way to get her to start quartering a little better? She just kind of walks ahead of me about...

Looking for a late season solution, normally I layer up and wear a blaze hoodie and my strap vest, but when it gets cold out, and hopefully snowing, what do you guys wear for a winter waterproof coat. I would like lightweight, warm, windbreaking, and not too bulky. I have waterfowl gear that is...

I have a few pair of gloves for waterfowl hunting and upland hunting... 3 different ones that were all in the $50-$100 range and I find myself buying 3 or 4 pair of the kinco hydroflector each year. I don't wear them out, but they get pretty "gamey" while ice fishing so I tend to pitch them...

I figured I would get that I had my phone in the truck and put her in the dog box. Then took the pic of the bird. I take a pic of every bird I shoot just to document it. I will get he in the pic next time. (Tomorrow with any luck)

Yesterday between appointments I figured I would try to get the dog on a bird. I drove to the spot that normally is a 15 minute walk. Got out of the truck and the dog got "birdy" in the ditch. Walked into the draw and she flushed the rooster, I did my part with one shot, and she retrieved it to...

Yes... not sure the required amount, but I was checked when I was out there this year and the officer commented I had enough orange on. He told my Uncle he was legal, but barely and he only had his vest that is about 1/3 orange. He had left his hat in truck. Officer told him to put the hat back...

Great bird... she worked it up, retrieved it to hand and did not range out when she got on the scent.

Picture of today's action.

Too dark for a picture, but I was able to locate one just like mine online for sale and will go get it this weekend. Thanks Guys!
