    Dog Conditioning

    Even though GWPs are a lean breed, they can get lazy like any dog. I've found that the best way to exercise them is regular training, mixed with runs a few times a week. Training is a given, and the runs keep us all in shape.

    Pheasant numbers could be low for hunting season in N.D.

    Maybe a few, but actually it will mean a few less hunters chasing around even fewer birds on fewer acres of public land. Methinks the pressure won't change a lick -- at least from our perspective.

    Pheasant numbers could be low for hunting season in N.D.

    I imagine it will be a stark contrast to recent hunting seasons. It's funny that nobody in the Outdoor biz has picked up on it. Hardest drought in the state is the famed SW area of Connanonball, Regent, etc. Methinks certain guides/outfitters are hoping the word doesn't get out??

    No kidding? That's good to hear! How are they in the wind?

    New waterfowl ammo~

    A few industry friends of mine were some of the first guys to hunt Blindside. He said the cripple rate was unreal. But hey, it's "scientific-y" on the box, and "x% more per shell" sure looks good to Joe Blow Hunter/Consumer. Winchester had to come up with something to compete with Black Cloud...

    Shorelander wires

    The boat I got from my grandpa was in great shape, but the trailer is covered in rust. Seems like 99 percent of wiring problems on trailer is due to rusting and the ground. So I cheated and ran a ground wire from the tail light all the way up to the tongue. Spliced all three together and boom --...

    Early Goose 2017

    Not a fan of corrugated plastic for hunting dekes. I'd rather pay a bit more and buy Real Geese, just knowing they'll take a bit more abuse. Plus their Pro series with the no-glare is the bees knees. I flocked the heads and tails on a bunch of the originals and that really made them pop.

    Early Goose 2017

    I have about three dozen oversized GHG shells that do wonders for filling the voids. But I'd really love another 3-5 dozen sillos. If I could find some for dirt cheap, I'd pounce on them. I have no trailer, and I've found the portability and bird-drawing power of those 2D birds to be excellent.

    Early Goose 2017

    Only reason my opinion shifts is because I purposely get my fill of ducks and geese in the warmer months. By November, my freezer is full and I'm ready for white meat. So it's pheasants until the snow gets to deep at that time. With GWPs, I find it's the perfect mix of fowl that makes my fall...

    Fallen Brother Memorial Fund

    BUMP! Looks like this generated nearly $3,500 so far! What an outpouring. I hope this, along with the cross and letter, help bring some solace to Allan's widow.

    Early Goose 2017

    This time of year when it's hot as balls, last thing I want to do is walk around chasing upland game. And in November when it's cold as balls, last thing I want to do is sit in one place and watch my decoys freeze. For every season, there's the ideal critter to chase...

    Early Goose 2017

    We are overrun by out of state hunters around here thanks to our stupid early season and 15-bird limit. I wait until September 1. That way most of them have gone back to their home states where their own early seasons start, and the pressure decreases dramatically. I did that last year (first...

    Wildlife vs. The Drought of '17

    I can't tell if you're being sarcastic. Have you never seen this happen where you're at?? Christ, every year when the sloughs dry, they get mowed and tilled and then, either the next year or the year after, they'll be planted and then rains come and fill them back up again and boom...dead spot...

    I'd definitely set some decoys there...

    Wildlife vs. The Drought of '17

    I sure hope the pyros aren't out this fall like they have been. With all the cover missing, those cattail sloughs are all that's left. Lose those and, well, buh-bye critters.

    Signs of early winter~

    You are the second cricket comment...are their increased activity levels seriously related to cooler temps? This is the first I've heard.

    God I can't wait. Bring on fall. Summer is for the birds.
