Mike, you have had a great season! What is your bird count so far this year? My guess is somewhere around 90-100 wild birds!

Merry Christmas guys. In my world Jesus is the reason for the season.

I have had Goldens for 35 years and since I started to raise my own they all have to start with the letter "R" I like it because it is easy to yell in the field or the yard. Ruby, Roxy, Reba, Randi.

Wait, who says you can't be ticketed for shooting a hen? If that is the truth lots of people would shoot them for the sport and just leave them lay. I am sure if a CO saw you shoot a hen he could give you a citation. Under that rationale if I shoot 5 roosters but only have three in my possession...

I have a question for everybody! Here is the story. My buddy, who is on this forum, did a quick walk across a field. I got to my truck and drove around the field to pick him up. I noticed a dead bird in the field in front of him. Went to pick up the bird and it is a hen! His story is that it...

What about relatives like father-in-laws who have a habit of dumping mud in the field? What are the rules for them? Also is there a preferred method for "out-of-state" mud dumpers?

Hardest shot for me is the going away bird. I know I have to cover the bird as they are rising, buut I just can't get my brain to work that way in the heat of the moment. Maybe this week it will be different!

Give me a call. I can give you lots of questions to ask and things to look for when choosing a breeder or a pup. I do breed dogs and have developed a great group of friends over the years who have dogs from me. You are doing it right by doing your homework right now. Take the whole cute puppy...

I agree with what has been said. Right now it is fun, eventually they will test you. FF is all about obedience. They want to pick up the ball. Teach them to fetch anything on command is obedience. Why is it important? When you shoot a bird across a creek that you cannot cross yourself FF will...

One of my favorites are called hobo dinners. Simple recipe. Put hamburger, sliced onions, baby potatoes, carrots, and butter into tin foil. Wrap it twice so no juices escape. Cook on a grill or the oven for about 45 minutes or until the potatoes and carrots are soft. You can make them ahead of...

I have stayed in the Enchanted Castle! It is a great place. Refurbished old school with big hotel rooms. The last time I was there they had a restaurant in the building and a couple of hot tubs to relax in after a long hunt. NOt sure what it is like now, but give them a call.

Welcome! Great to have more Golden owners on board. Good luck in your hunting this fall. Get that pup on birds this fall she will be fine and will learn a lot!

Very nice! Lots of patience waiting to shoot the right birds.

I like nice things. My truck is 8 years old but at one point it was new. It is still nice, shiny and runs great. I like the feel of a quality made gun in my hands. I can't afford the Italian ones but I save my nickels and buy what works for me. I keep the gun clean and free of rust. I like to...

You guessed it, I like Goldens! I raise them, I like the look, mine are great retrievers and flushers. I fell in love with them before I was ever able to own a dog. When the time came I just naturally moved towards the breed. Now that I raise them it is fun to see so many people love the breed...

The whole state, versus a NW corner?! I would take the whole state any day.

Those were great memories! I don't know if we will ever experience that again.

Hey guys, I just had two of my girls bred this past week. We will hopefully have puppies in April and ready to go to their new homes around the midle of June. If anyone is interested check out the website nelsonretrievers.com All the info is on the webpage. Randi and Ginger have been bred with...

This is a loaded debate. On one hand I see the need to preserve the states natural resources, but on the other hand should the benefits be limited to only those who reside in the state? We all have an agenda, some don't like outfitters, some don't like dog trainers, some don't like out of state...
