We would only walk a mile/day if I was by myself. We would limit out Quick! But there are always guys without dogs. We hunt all day helping them. I've never let her jump down out of the truck. Always set her down. I believe that is unnecessary joint pounding that can easily be avoided. Always...

So funny. My lab just finished her 8th season. Went to ND hunted hard, I walked 6+ miles per day, and she never took a walk off. She's the only dog I had. Everybody told me I couldn't go to ND, SD etc with one dog? Well, it appears to me that if you don't have a lab you keep in good condition...

Here’s my new pup “Good Lord Lorrie.” Got her this weekend from Blaine Winans at Winans Retriever Kennels. Blaine specializes in British Labs and I think he’s doing a nice job breeding and training. Excited to see what this little dumplin turns into.

So I have an 8yr old female Lab, a little Shi Tzu and I'm bring home a new Lab puppy next weekend. Anybody have any advise or suggestions on introducing the new pup to the keepers of the home? They all live inside. I know dogs can be territorial....wondering if any of you have a common practice...

I'll never go back to hunting without a dog again but I did for years. You'd be surprised. In order to get close enough for a shot you must be very quiet. Flushes are very close and if you get out front and shoot them where they're going you'll lose very few because they will be stone dead when...

Good Reading so far....Here's my two cents: I would do my best to find some ground near food, be it corn, beans or food plots etc...I'd hunt edges as near as I could to food. We all want to find a small parcel to hunt alone but tbh, I rarely do well at these and I believe it's because we ALL...

Couldn't agree more. My dog LOVES her crate. Travels like a champ. Gets right out and does her business when we stop and jumps right back in.

I swatted it! I was 13 and thought it was a pheasant! Was trying to become a legend

I've had my lab in her mud river kennel for 8 years. She lays with her nose near the door so I always Just leave maybe 6'' unzipped down at the bottom when it's 30's or colder. Not unusual for her to spend 12-14 hours in it while driving out to SD. She's an inside dog at home so I'm not...

When I was about 13 yrs old, we were rabbit hunting on some land just outside Indianapolis which is fairly metropolitan....and while walking thru some brush I saw what appeared to be a pheasant. I called out to my buddies and they said "shoot it!' So I did. Carried it home proudly. As word got...

It's less about "the chance" of being caught and more about "hoping we get caught" having sex in public.....hahaha

Agreed.

I consistently kill birds at 40 with a 20 gauge IC choke. The key is, when you can, get out front. shoot them where they're going not where they've been. Sometimes they don't provide you the angle you need to hit the head? When that happens even a 12 gauge doesn't get the job done a lot of the...

Ive been drawn 3 times in about 30-35 years of applying

Love it!

fajitas....any recipe you'd use for chicken fajitas. we made them on a blackstone out on the prairie for lunch a few weeks ago.

I don't disagree. I'm not arguing that trees are good or bad? But I sure see a lot of pheasants in and around trees.

I'm nowhere near an expert? I know nothing. But I do know that a certain landowner we hunt on in SD has an owl living in her wooded area by her house along with about 200 pheasants....ALL THE TIME. If that owl was that much of a threat, why do those pheasants stay there? Before someone asks...

I've shot hundreds of shots over my Lab hunting....but thunder or fireworks? she's in the house in a corner....weird

I have, for years, moved right past anything posted by Goose. He reminds me of someone who peaked in jr high and is still using the same jokes....probably wears affliction shirts.
