    Feeding Time

    I listened to a great episode of the On the Wing podcast 254 the other day. Talked about twisted gut and feeding times and wetting down kibble. I started adding water to the food dish and my little guy loves it. I was wondering if others do this too? Also do you guys feed the morning of the hunt...

    Pro vs. Cons

    The choke thread got me thinking of things we give up for others. You want the long shot or the short one. When my setter went down a few weeks back it made me think I may have to replace him. So I started thinking about the good and bad things I like about him. Pros: Love the style, watching...

    Dog pneumonia

    Have you guys heard of this? Just putting a caution out to everyone. Thought the dog was just exhausted from a weekend of hunting. Went down pretty fast like a day an half. My vet said it’s not something to mess around with. If you see some signs I’d take em in. My ol boy looks like hell!

    Eating Grass….what?

    Gotta get a new topic going before we all lose our minds🤪. First year I’ve really noticed my dog eating grass. It’s more like he’s licking it looking for a flavor he likes. Read a little bit about it, any insite?

    New Gun Yips!

    My preferred gun is a Benelli M2. I’ve shot hundreds of rounds trough it, and can operate it with my eyes closed. I got a new sxs, and can’t wait to use it. I’m surprised how many mishaps I’ve had operating it. Forgot to load it dove hunting, not flipping the thumb safety on multiple times...

    Ticks Are GROSS!!!

    I’m not scared of much. Thought Covid was a joke, hardly ever get sick. If there is one thing that scares the crap out of me is Lyme disease and ticks. If one lands on me or attaches I immediately think I’m a goner. Today the dog and I were out, he was running in tall grass I was walking in a...

    Found some weed….seed in my dogs ear

    Was scratching and pulling on my dog Murf’s ears and he let out a yelp. I later put his shock collar and caught his ear and he yelped again. To the vet we go. Both ear drums were punctured and had an ear infection. When I went to pick him up the vet told me I now hold the record for the largest...

    My dog likes him some mice

    When out hunting sometimes my dog goes on point, I get all excited, start kicking around to get the bird to flush and it turns out to be a freaking mouse nest. I take my dog to work and I’m working next to a cut corn field. When I let my dog run around he goes crazy looking for field mice. He’ll...

    Why do you got what you got?

    As I read post from you guys daily, it’s fun knowing what dogs you run and guns you like. To me it kinda paints a picture of who you are. So why do you have or like the dogs you have. My first dog was a GSP. Thought it had to much energy and was wild….had no clue what I was doing of course. So...

    How do I find “Q”

    Raised in central Iowa shooting pheasants. Never saw or even heard of anyone talking about quail. Live and now hunt a lot in Nebraska, Kansas, and SD. I now have a handful of coveys that I’ve located and can find on a regular basis. Located them with probably a little luck and a good amount...
