I learned upland hunting in western KS with a group. Everybody in the group was safe and it was a lot of fun. But there was one guy in the group that was a self-centered schmuck to begin with, and who evolved into a real jerk. I started to type out some of his stunts, but decided not too...

Thanks for the reply. I get what you’re saying. I did this in a pretty controlled way—started back away, looked at his response and adjusted. Agree this isn’t the perfect way to get a dog acclimated to a hunting environment, but feel it’s a reasonable step the way I did it. Appreciate the...

OK @Bob Peters I had to read back through and see why the sad face. I had him on a leash well away from the range in the parking lot to begin with. As I saw how he was reacting I got closer to the fence. He wasn't interfering with anything or anybody. And since everybody loves a puppy, he was a...

I've always just taken my new pups out to the range and let them walk around, watching their reaction and adjusting. That's worked for me. We've got a four month old Brittany pup who is easily startled by things/sounds he doesn't know. I took him out to the local shooting range last weekend...

Both were my dad’s and they’ll each get one someday.

Molly B'Golly. Got her in 2001 and was the first Brittany we had with a good pedigree (grandfather was Renegade's KS Kid). I put quite a bit of effort into training her. Also had a lot more opportunities to hunt back then. Was in a western KS group that hunted every year, took her to WIHA in KS...

Max A'Million right there in my avatar. We lost Max in September, just short of his 14th birthday. I don't have the heart to change the picture yet. We've also got Ruby Sue (as in Vacation). She's a nine year old L&W Brittany. Both of them were named by the kids.

Thirsty's in Hays was a pleasant surprise for us coming back KC from the Southwest part of the country this summer.

Western MO :D

It's a kind of a quandary for me -- my hunting vest and coat work great for storing shells, birds, whatever. But I'm always suffering at some point during a hunt. The coat's too heavy and I'm sweating even thought the temperature is pretty low. The vest is too light and I freeze my butt off when...

I hunted opening weekend up in Atchison County. No animals were injured in the process. Did see a bunch of hens, but only one rooster. Didn't hunt the quail habitat, but I'm hearing enough good reports to think things are better this year. So -- anybody have anything to talk about? Surely...

I've got an 1950's vintage Superposed 12 gauge that belonged to my dad. It's in great shape, and is a pretty dang special gun to me. It will be passed on to one of my sons at some point. Last time I was out it just wouldn't fire. Yes, the safety was off. I moved the safety on and off, and left...
