    Lets See Your Dogs..post some pic's

    Beautiful dog. Makes me miss my Vizsla. She was darker like yours. Such a sweet dog. Dang that girl could cover ground.

    Let's Bitch (Can't Hunt)

    I started doing triathlons as a hobby and now I barely ever drink. I just don't like training hard early mornings after drinking the night before. Even one or two can make me feel sluggish. If I am going to have one IPA's are my go to. I probably drink more on my pheasant hunting trips to SD...

    Hunter harassment walking road right of ways...

    My friend who has pretty limited mobility just got harassed for walking a ditch. His dog wasn't on the other side of the fence nor was he as busting brush is no longer his thing at mid 70's. He said the guy was so unglued that he just turned around and went back to his car. He then talked to...

    Early season thoughts

    I was in the central time zone. If I would have been in the moutain zone it would have been 8am even worse. My guess is it was a preserve.

    Early season thoughts

    I was out for opener. First time hunting on the opener. The first day I didn't see nearly as many birds as I had anticipated. The amount of fields unharvested was really high. They were going hard though and it made a huge difference as the week went on. Each day I saw more birds and by...

    Better to have it and not need it

    I second Animal Clinic in Pierre. Used them when my dog lost a battle with a barbed wire fence. They got me in right away and were very affordable.

    2023 Season

    Pretty slow here. Only saw 3 hens. Only got out Sunday afternoon because of kids activities. There was so much corn up that I knew what I was getting into. Kicked up maybe 15 deer. Some really huge bucks. I was surprised to see them bunched together still. One almost ran my dog and me over...

    2022 Season

    I was able to get out on the 29th. The snow was really deep. I couldn't remember hunting in that much snow. The top was crusted over which made walking tough. I made it a couple of hours but man it was tough going. There were drifts 8' high in spots. I have never seen anything like it...

    When and where?????

    First bird I shot was near Basin City, WA. It was my first time out pheasant hunting my Dad didn't get me into it because the fall was for farming and we didn't have time. So at 25 a fellow teacher (like a second father to me) got me hooked. Unfortunately we never found that bird which was...

    2022 Season

    Got out yesterday for a fun afternoon hunt. Saw a ton of birds. Some held really tight. Finished up with 7 for 3 guys. Could have had out limit if we would have shot a bit better. No cripples lost. Some areas had a good amount of snow to trudge through. I can feel it in my legs today. Between...

    Walk in Areas

    Completely agree the WIA's in MN are much better. If you plucked them out and put them in SD there would be tons of birds on them. Hopefully the habitat stamp does some good on the public grounds they do have out there. Time will tell. The part that gets me is hunting brings in big money to the...

    Walk in Areas

    I thought the same thing. My first thought was waterfowl. but unless you are close to the Missouri there aren't many ducks. There really isn't any water around the areas I am talking about. Deer and Coyotes aren't going to hang out in a sea of nothingness. The ones I was looking at were entire...

    Walk in Areas

    I'll take a 1/2 we can split it. I could strap it down and bring it back to MN.

    Walk in Areas

    Just got back from hunting 4 days east of Pierre and I am amazed at the crap they allow to be put into the WIA program. Most of the fields were cut wheat or Beans. You would see an entire section of nothing. Great news is it was free to hunt! There was also two fields I saw that were WIA that...

    Emergency Haying 2022

    What a frustrating deal. Coming from a farming family I get you need to feed your livestock, but it is super frustrating that the public land gets mowed down as well. If its private CRP great but mowing down public land for feeding livestock is crazy to me. They profit off of it and wildlife...

    Deciding on breed

    I would look at a Vizsla or maybe a Braque. Both are shorthaired pointers that will retrieve. Some vizslas can get pretty crazy when they are young due to high energy but they are great with people and do well in the heat.

    Getting Ready...

    Not doing Iron Mans that is definitely too much time for me. With kids stuff and work I am lucky I can get this in. I just do the Olympic distance stuff. Usually a one mile swim, 25 mile bike and 6.2 mi run. Remy that garden is awesome. I bet weeding that thing would really suck in a wet year.

    Getting Ready...

    I got into triathlons a few years back for something to do to keep myself in shape. Between the swimming, biking and running it does the trick. Being that race season is in the summer I am pretty good shape come fall. I saw 4 pheasants this weekend on my bike ride. Two flew out of the ditch...
