Tornado chased our group off the land today! Crazy out here!

Central ND. 8 miles walked. 3 dogs. 2 coveys. 4 Singles. Not great.

Packing up the truck for sharptail opener. The PP can barely be bothered. The DD stares daggers every time I come in. She always thinks she's gonna get left behind. This may not make sense, but the PP hunts with passion. The DD hunts with intensity.

Lewis dog boots have served me well for the last 6 years in AZ.

I always look forward to your on the ground reports!

That's unfortunate, but it was also steady growth for several years. A drop was probably inevitable? I've always waited til the second or third week of the season to go out, doing my first true opener this year. Can't come soon enough!

I had a pair of Crispi Thors. The most comfortable boot ever out of the box, but leaked like a sieve.

She sounds like a tough bird!

That's a very good point. People like to poopoo Minneapolis, but I work in a major metro hospital and we not only get the tougher cases from our state, but the cases (mostly pediatrics) that Sanford in the Dakotas doesn't want or can't make any money from.

I actually quite enjoy some of the places getting crapped on. Robbinsdale downtown is quite nice. But I get it for schools, not the best. Polaris is Medina? If that was me I'd do "rural". Delano, Corcoran, Maple Plain. No sense in commuting any further than necessary. And the...

One vote for Pudelpointer. I LOVE watching setters and pointers run, but they are upland specialists. If you ever want to shoot ducks or even drop a bird in the drink, you may have a tough time getting to swim. I'm in Minnesota, but hunt extensively in ND and SD and AZ. We start around 70...

Instinct and 550+ is great.

The deer rifle season opens 11/8, so you're best bet is the 2 weeks leading up to that.

Yays: GoPro Hero 12 (does the heavy lifting for my Youtube channel) Garmin Pro550+ (best there is?!?!) KUIU brush pant (from sharps in ND to quail in AZ) Mechanix gloves (quantity over quality) Kenetrek Mountain Extremes (great late season boot) Nays: Final Rise gloves (poorly sewn, baggy in...

Seeing broods in the SE corner. A little underwhelmed so far, biggest is 6 chicks. Lots of 2-4s. Hens still being courted by roosters. A good carryover, but not the bumber crop I thought we'd be getting.

It was a narrow band, heaviest just south of Britton and angled SE.

It all fell on the 13th.

Between Sisseton and Britton, my farmer buddies are saying 8 inches of rain. That's gonna hurt the hatch.

They aren't pheasants, but I had good dog work in a unique location chasing quail in Southern Arizona. YouTube: Arizona Quail Grand Slam
