Just got back from our 10 days starting with the opener We had a new crew that frankly shot lousy but we put up a lot of birds in bunches, I was down to one pair of good dogs and a couple of new dogs with limited field time. last year we scored a lot on fewer birds, this year with the crops...

Stopped by Cabela's in Dundee MI the other day and picked up a case of lead ( was the limit) for $85. its 1 1/8oz load and I took the last sm shot of 7 1/2 but there was 6 and 4's when I left They had Steel as well just not what I shoot

I shoot a few different guns for upland but my favorite Sodak gun is my Browning Maxxus, It is light and it points for me I have a longer LOP. my old gun was a Charles Daly from the 60/70's that I bought used, That particular gun has put down everything under the sun but I retired it last year...

A good bird dog is a personal opinion, a great bird dog is a consensus opinion. I've owned and trained several of both and loved them all the same and learned a long time ago to enjoy the time you have with them as it is never enough.

I own both and won't give a recommendation on breed, I will however advise whatever you hunt species more of, or terrain type hardest should show you what will make a better choice.

Just made it back to CNY from hunting the first 5 days, It was a good opening week but the weather threw a few curves this year. I dont know if it was just great timing or what but we installed a new tankless heater and furnace in the camp days before the storms hit. The opener was great except...

5 years ago my GSP ran down two different birds, I had my knee replaced that spring and I had to drive as I was done walking that day. They kicked up a hen, I couldn't get the sit whistle out fast enough and he was off after her, the first 100 yards she was ahead but he caught her in the air...

20-25% public, mostly road hunting if we don't find birds on our fields in the morning

We have a camp in north Central SoDak and have a core group of guys that always go, I have been contacted by at least 15 people to see if they can get a bed at the camp, we hunt mostly private and some public lands. I don't know who is talking this year up but it is working, I just hope it...

our fire dept has pumped my basement twice so far this season but the water keeps coming and has no where to go, the good news is our fields got planted

over the last 15 years average about a box and a half of ammo, a good year just over a box, a bad year shooting two or a little more boxes. But I practice all year shooting live flyers for field trials and our local dog pros. This is the first year in the last 30 that neither are happening I'm...

My friends are planning an Elk hunt this fall and then want to go the SoDak camp for the opener of pheasant. As I have most of the dogs I will need to board them for the duration of our Elk hunt. Does anyone have a recommended boarding kennel that could house at least three active dogs? there...
