Maybe not right around Webster, but you don't have to travel very far (15-20 miles?) to be into some areas with some really pheasanty ground. i.e.: WPAs aplenty.

Right? I've never had cold feet, but they've never been hot in 400g boots either. Why fix what ain't broke? I got a deal I couldn't pass up on the uninsulated ones though, so I'll give them a whirl.

Thumbs down to that grabass.

So Irish Setter discontinued my favorite boot, the 400g Elk Tracker 885 (camo), although I have a spare pair. But I'm going try the 0g version, the 861 (brown) next season anyway. My feet have never been cold, so I'm sure no insulation will be fine for the vast majority of my hunting. But what...

Don't let him know I'm telling anyone this, but Ace loves veggies too. His favorite? Fresh spinach. Truth. He goes crazy for it.

Yeah, but how much have you really trained for it? I mean really? 😆

Yes, but not required to be "Versatile".

Since guys like us love regulation, can we get a new rule for this site? In order to use the term versatile, the context must be defined. If just talking about something that's versatile, by Webster's definition, you just say versatile. eg: My dog can hunt pheasants, speak 3 Hmong dialects, &...

I don't "run" a GPS. The mileage my springer puts on, compared to me, varies greatly, depending on the type of cover we're hunting. I don't know how many miles I average (maybe about 2-2.5), but I've always thought my dog does about 3x what I do in light cover to 7x what I do in extremely thick...

To be NAVHDA (so, versatile by THAT definition only) the dog must point, or so I understand. I don't need/want a dog that'll point, flush, or retrieve a possum, but I'm not surprised there are people that do. I think they live south of Iowa.

Great deal. I've shot LOTS of Kent Bismuth. Good stuff.

I do a few things in my videos to make them more interesting (less boring) for other viewers & mostly family friendly. But at the end of the day, I make them for myself to watch & try to spend as little time as possible making them.

I don't need (or want) someone to tell me what I'm seeing. Using your eyes is kind of the point of a video. And I'd rather hear the sounds of rustling cover &....yes....even wind. Music is equally distracting for me.

It's interesting. All any of us REALLY know is what our own experiences have been. And those don't translate to gospel truths. I've only owned springers. One thing I can say is that once they've got a couple seasons under their collars, & we start to understand each other, rarely am I very...

If I'm not getting shots, yes. Either not hunting the right spot at the right time, or not hunting it in an effective manner. Sure, there's a measure of luck involved with hunting, & I'll take it whenever I can get it, but in general, the ability to get shots at pressured, wild pheasants doesn't...

Whether I'm hunting alone or with a group, if I'm not getting some shots, it frustrates me, because it means I'm doing something horribly wrong, which is unacceptable & must be addressed.

Golden Hour & Sage hunt with me & Ace once or twice a season. He always tries to shoot all 6 roosters. It usually ends up about even, but a couple times I let him shoot 4. It makes me feel real good to let him win once in awhile to keep his confidence up. But he needs an occasional reminder, so...
