    Dew claws?

    There is a growing trend among some field trailers in the retriever world to leave dewclaws intact. This stems from the incidence of metacarpal injury later in life attributed to the removal of the medial digit. These injuries are often career ending. Any dog I intend to hunt will have...

    Labs/Goldens size vs. endurance?

    An individual dog's level of conditioning is going to have much more impact on his ability to handle the rigors of a given day of hunting than the dog's size/stature. If you have a dog not in good physical condition and take it to cattails you will not have good performance. Keep your dog lean...

    SD Resident Opener Reports?

    3, 3, 3 Really surprised at the lack of resident hunters over the course of the three days made available to us. I think it speaks to the frustration with the pheasant situation as a whole from many residents. The weather was less than stellar but I actually enjoyed my hunt in the wind and...

    Hunting pressure during Thanksgiving week?

    East River deer season still going on. You said public only so deer will have long since been vanquished from any public. You should be safe.

    Iowa phez vs SD

    I don't need to go anywhere. I can step out my back door and tell you the numbers are not as rosy as their reports portray. SD is a fraction of what it was 15 years ago. Perhaps all states are interested in license sales. However, SD Game, Fish, and Pimp Department takes it to a new level.

    Iowa phez vs SD

    Caveat emptor SD GFP is in the business of license sales. I would not be too quick to believe the numbers that are being put out to attract $.

    Lost my private ground

    Honest question, if someone has access to quality private ground, why would they divulge it to a stranger on the internet? I think I’m supposed to say something nice now to avoid being reported so good luck this season!

    Training Differences?

    You touched on a point I omitted in my first comment. That is, when viewing equally talented animals of each sex, the male will usually be more impressive to watch work because of their size, demeanor, and musculature.

    Training Differences?

    Dogs are individuals like humans. There are very talented and very poor examples in both sexes. Quite often the defining characteristic of an exemplary dog is who is doing the training and what opportunities have been given to the dog to succeed.

    Shells? Bring Money

    Think shells are expensive and rare now? Just wait til Dr. Rochelle Walensky the Director of CDC ties into "gun violence" as a public health emergency, it's coming. Good job, democrats. Blame covid and lack of components but this is as much or more a manufactured crisis by leftists. Should...

    First night with new puppy

    Purina considers 30/20 pro plan an "all life stages" food. Lots of people start a puppy on 30/20 and keep it on that it's whole life. The main purpose of a puppy blend is less calories in an attempt to keep people from having overweight puppies. I personally feed pro plan large breed puppy...

    Emergency haying.

    Seeing gray is why we are 30 trillion in debt and currently seen as untrustworthy on the world stage. Was the world better off when people were tougher and more self sufficient or are we better off today when the govt bails everyone out? That’s rhetorical, I don’t really care to hear your...

    Emergency haying.

    You have a mental problem, skippy. Don’t let me under your skin so badly. The original poster asked a question which I answered truthfully. Nothing to do with res/non-res. I am a bastard because I do not support giving money that people worked for to people that choose not to put forth...
