    Cut pad

    I went dove hunting and did some light sage grouse scouting yesterday and Friday afternoon. We were in some nasty lava shale and my dog cut his pad. Ive never treated a cut pad before so I wanna see what's recommended. Of course I can't talk to a vet until probably Tuesday. I washed it in...

    Dusky grouse habitat

    I'm not sure if this is the correct place for this post but I am looking for some help with dusky grouse habitat. I went out one time last year looking for them but got skunked. Honestly I don't know what habitat I should be looking for. I plan on hunting early September. I live in the southern...

    Water bladder for Orvis Pro Upland Vest

    My wife got me an Orvis Pro Upland Vest, link below. I was wondering if anyone has the same vest and what water bladder you use. I'm also looking to find a good first aid kit for me and my dog. What do you guys have in your vest when your on an all day hunt? When I go chukar hunting typically I...

    Wirehair

    Hey y'all. My wife told me the other day she'd like to get another puppy and of course I'm game. I have a pointing lab (who just started pointing staunchly, but that's another post) and hunt mostly chukar and quail. I would like to find a pointer with some range. I'm young and walk miles anyway...

    Hammered birds

    I've shot two pheasants this year and literally blew them in half, I'm still getting used to hunting farm raised birds. It's my lab pups first season and he is very hesitant on retrieving them. Is this a common problem with pups? I don't remember it every being a problem with my last lab and he...

    Dog chasing rabbits

    Well I'm afraid I created a rabbit monster. The first time taking my dog out, he's 15 months and this is his first season, I shot a rabbit and he retrieved it. Well fast forward a month and he is rabbit crazy anytime he sees or smells one. It appears to me he hunts harder for rabbits than he...

    Don't forget about Dre

    My dog is 14 months old. He didn't get hunted last year. We've been out 3 times for chukar and grouse here in southern Idaho. I took him to a preserve last weekend just to get him on some birds. Hopefully we have a decent year. I don't care as much about pheasant as I do quail, huns, and chukar.

    Leaving pup outside when I'm at work

    My pup stays inside the house when I'm home but when we are at work he's outside in a kennel run. He is just about 13 or maybe 14 weeks old and we've been doing this for three weeks now. Tomorrow we are supposed to get some thunder storms and I'm worried he's going to be afraid of the storms and...

    Dog house

    Well the day after picking up my new puppy I tested positive for covid so I have been able to spend a lot more time with the pup than I planned. Once I go back to work he will be in an outdoor kennel/run. I'm looking for dog house recommendations. We live in southern Idaho. It get cold here...

    Pointing labs

    I've got a question about the flush with a pointing lab. Those of you that have a pointing lab, do you flush the birds or does your dog? I hunt in some pretty nasty stuff which is why I need a brush breaking lab. I've had friends being there pointers and when they locked up there was no way for...
