    Season Dates

    Not usually, at least in my r cent memory. But than I’m old with CRS memory so get ahold of Greg he would be the definitive answer. Lately MT and ND have the same starting dates.

    2025 e collar/tracking

    Thanks his review was great. It seems most people run Garmins. I got a Garmin LTE and tried it but it was a PIA to use and never seemed to work right. My sportdog collars have been going forever, just change out batteries. I just need something to find a lost dog who can’t hear. The TEK 1.5...

    re: Anyone here have knowlege of camping in Froid Montana in October?

    Great state park just east of there. Brush lake, probably won’t be many there as it is on the top of a bald hill and you have to nail everything down.

    How many of you let birds go?

    If it is a poor year in the area I’m hunting and it cackles when it gets up I pull the trigger. If it is a good year where I’m hunting and it doesn’t have a long tail I pass. If I have already killed a lot of birds I shoulder the gun and say “bang” afterwards praising the dog. If I can’t hit...

    Great article

    There is a great article in the last issue of Shooting Sportsman about Goldens. Very inclusive from history to temperament and health issues. For those of us that run Goldens it is an excellent read.

    Gun dog hearing loss prevention?

    Every one of my goldens has suffered from hearing loss. My 16 year old can barely hear a gunshot. My 12 year old can only hear a whistle if i blow till I’m red in the face. Wish it was different.

    Dog Breed Popularity

    They can be obedience and agility titled for sure as I have done that. I guess I also have hunt tested a neutered dog. I’m sure a neutered dog can’t be shown in a confirmation ring, otherwise they can be shown in different venues.

    Lots of hunters

    Gosh once again I have to agree. Twenty or thirty years ago MT was as good if not better than SD. Their winters are a bit tougher so that played a factor, but they had an immense amount of CRP. That has disappeared. People still come like it was 95 and they are disappointed. The land is still...

    At what age you cut down dogs?

    I’m 73 and while I only hunt one dog at a time I had 4 working dogs this season. Now mostly retired I can hunt more and need more due to an extended season and injuries. When I was working and only got to hunt a couple weeks a year 2 was fine.

    Bob Peters writes a short post.

    There are 2 things I am hardwired for. One is chasing roosters. Grouse,Huns quail and waterfowl are fun, but not roosters they are a different level. The other is catching king salmon, especially in small streams with a fly rod, no other fishing comes close. Unfortunately that has to be pretty...

    Again back to my original question. What does the ground cover look like? How deep is the snow? Ice? Are the cat tails blown full?
