I just saw in my local newspaper that a fellow member and Kansas native has passed. He went by Turtle on the boards but I believe Greg was known to several here on a personal level. Just wanted to pass along the info.

I’m planning to travel to NM the 1st week of February. Never hunted desert birds before so any and all advice is appreciated. Aside from the hunting aspect I’ll probably try and boondock while I’m there. Obviously it’s situational but is it safe to leave my camp set up for the day while I’m...

Question for those that live or spend time west of let’s say ks highway 14. Have the roads dried up enough to get around when they are thawed out? Considering driving out Thursday but I hate not being able to get to half the spots without trying to slog thru the muddy roads to get there.

After one of my dogs having tplo surgery in late August we finally hit the field for an honest days hunt. Birds were pretty scarce, scratched out 1 old rooster and a quail but it was great just being out and seeing my old dogs doing what they love.

Not that there would ever be a good time for it but it’s looking like one of my boys has torn his acl/ccl. Do any of you guys have recommendations on surgeons? Preferably on the east half of the state but will travel for a more favorable result.

Question for those familiar with Iowa. How are the roads during/after precipitation?

I’m thinking of getting something to video my dogs instead trying to use my phone. Does anyone have any recommendations other than go pro?

I’m planning on making a trip next week to sd with my pups. While I’m not tied to an area and will move locations if we can’t locate any birds I’m hoping to stay in the se part of the state, say south of 90 and east of the river. My question is does anyone have lodging recommendations, must...

Has anyone had any experience with these pants that would care to give a review? https://www.scheels.com/p/mens-scheels-outfitters-premium-upland-pants/4849-SP001.html?cgid=hunting-clothing#prefn1=Hunting_Season&prefv1=Upland&start=11&sz=23

I didn’t want to hijack the other pants thread so I’m starting my own. Does anyone have a line on pants that are waterproof, briarproof and under say $125? My current pair of cabelas dry plus pants are getting past their prime and of course they have discontinued them. Think I paid about 75...

Question for those of you that are familiar with Kansas hunting and have also traveled to South Dakota. Is it worth it in your opinion? I’ve been kicking around the idea of making a trip probably the week before the Kansas opener. Would hunt public and stay in cheap motels but between licenses...

I've ran into a problem with my two male gsp's. Both are indoor dogs and have been together since the younger was a pup. They are actually father(4) and son(3). Recently they have begun fighting in the house. At first it was infrequent but began happening more with the time shortening between...

I'm heading to the grasslands with my son this week mainly to see somewhere new and hopefully get a chance at some scaled quail. I've never been and was doing some research online. I'd like to find a map with guzzler locations but Google hasn't been able to help. If anyone has seen one before...

Has anyone ever had a dog that was hypoglycemic? My 18mo old GSP is usually full of energy and will hunt all day long but once we are home he seems to crash for multiple days before recovering. I get that he would be tired for awhile but my other dogs seem to recover much faster. I was at the...

Anyone got any firsthand weather reports? I'm thinking of heading out tomorrow to hunt Monday afternoon and Tuesday, maybe Wednesday. Hoping for some good snow to hunt in. If anyone else is planning on being out and would like to hook up for a field let me know.

We made our annual Christmas vacation trip out west early this week. Monday we struggled to find any pheasants at all but we did see 3 large coveys of quail and came away with a one man limit. Tuesday we moved farther south in hopes of finding some pheasants which we did. We moved probably 20...

I made the 4 hr drive with the dogs early Friday morning and started hunting by 830. Within a couple of hundred yards into the 1st field the dogs blew thru a couple of hens. We walked to the end of the field and the youngest locks up tight in some shin high grass. I walk in and up comes a...

We left the house about 5am this morning and headed west. Saw a few birds in every field we walked. Highlight of the day was the pups 1st rooster pointed, shot, chased down(runner) and held until I arrived. We've got some work to do on retrieving but for a 5 month old dog I'm pretty happy. The...

I don't post here often but lurk frequently. Our lab unexpectantly passed away last week and my son has been heartbroke. Jet was his first puppy and they were best buddies. He was a fine hunting companion as well. All that being said we are looking for a new puppy, either a lab or a gsp. I know...

Me and the boys were loading up this morning to head west for a couple of days when I noticed that the right front tire was bad:mad:. Sucks that we aren't going to be able to go but atleast I noticed it before we left and had a blowout:confused:. Good luck to BrownDog, wish we could have met up.
