    Teaching “soft mouth” retrieving

    teaching "Hold" starting with gloved hand, into dowels then progressing into FF. Lots of youtube info on this. Has done wonders with all my retrievers.

    backup camera

    I looked on good ol youtube and found one that is solar and wireless. autovox. Suppose that is any good? Found on just like it on sale for $78. No wiring etc. Just hook to license plate. That part has solar bar. Then mount screen and plug to lighter. Hmmm

    backup camera

    I am thinking of getting after market backup/rear view camera for my pickup. I have a second older pickup I use for work, hunting and fishing. Its an 05 f150. Wouldn't mind installing a cheap but good camera for easier trailer hookups etc. Can anyone recommend a decent one. Not looking to...

    Free range chickens

    We have chickens. Really enjoy their eggs. So much more flavor than the local grocer. We have raised a few for butcher too. Don't let them get too big. But I think we charged $8 a bird. Butchered and packaged.

    Ha...I actually read it wrong. Thought it said NO teeth which my reply would've been more accurate.

    south dakota pheasant season extended to jan 31

    No thanks. The waterfowl license bill comes up every time. Waterfowlers including me write to local legislators to basically beg not to open waterfowl up. It's the only thing in our state that's now whored out. We have over a 100k non res pheasant hunters (usually) and prob double that in...

    Side x Side (utv) question

    I may look at atvs as well but like the fact of the box in back for hauling things. How old is too old on a used one? Ive seen a few decent ones (I think) that are 10-12 yrs old.

    Side x Side (utv) question

    Kind of tossing idea around of getting a sxs. I don't need or want anything fancy. Mostly for yard work, ice fishing and maybe some hunting if fields are damp etc. So looking at some used ones...what is a lot of miles for these things? See some with 1k up to 10k. btw...I'm shocked at the...

    south dakota pheasant season extended to jan 31

    I 100% agree with this comment. SD is about one thing and that is tourism=$$. Bring SD your money. While pheasant numbers are probably fair this year throughout state, it is no where near what it once was. But they don't want out of staters knowing that. Couldn't care less about residents...

    muzzleloader

    I think it takes 5 years or so to get a buck tag here in SD but can get a doe tag every year.

    muzzleloader

    I am thinking about getting into muzzle loaders for hunting. Don't know a lot about them. Anyone give tips on what gun to look at or recommendations, leads, lightly used ones etc??

    300 Win Mag Vs 300 PRC

    My pal shoots a 6.5 PRC. Man can that thing shoot. Long range is incredibly accurate and he has stoned an elk and couple deer as well.

    Winchester SX4 vs Franchi Infinity

    I buy a case of Heavy steel each year. Sometimes Roger's will have them for $129 but usually 149. I shoot the 3 in 1 1/4 oz BB. I shoot it for everything-ducks, geese, pheasants. I believe it has a innovative wad system. It is 1500 fps also. Hits fricken hard! I crushed a 24lb swan this...

    Dark chocolate lab

    That's great! I have only spoken to her on the phone a couple times. She really knows her dogs and has good ones. I really like my pup "Rip" that came from her sire Phoenix. I did not buy him from her but she studs him out to other breeders. But I talked to her about the stud and her dogs...

    Dark chocolate lab

    Kurt..do you have any proof of the recessive gene? I'm not arguing just curious. I run in a dog world around may area. Have 3 train, hunt etc. (btw Dokken lives a few miles from me) Anyway....no one has come up with where FOR SURE the silver gene is from. Many say recessive gene others say...

    Dark chocolate lab

    A silver lab is not recognized by AKC or other groups. They are most likely derived from mixing of breeds such as weimeraners. If you are just looking for a pet they may be fine. If you're looking for hunting stock I would 100% stay away. The hunting drive is often bred out of them as they...
