    Pointers

    I don't like beeper collars, personally. I used to run bells, but in the wind around here those are next to useless. Now I have a SportDOG Tek 2.0 GPS collar. I tried that and the Garmin Alpha, and I prefer the SportDOG. I know exactly where both my dogs are at all times, which is critical in...

    Deer hunting around Finley, Cooperstown

    It gets posted up thicker than frog spit about a week out from deer opener. It's also a tough unit to get a deer tag for. Then again, what isn't??

    Pointers

    I let my dogs get loosey goosey in the fall. They're both trained steady through wing, shot and fall, but when it's hunting season I let the bust at the shot. I also have both dogs trained to break on command, so in the thick stuff they'll flush a pinned pheasant if I can't get to them. It's the...

    Weird food combinations that work

    My mom always made bologna, ketchup and potato chip sandwiches when I was young. I added pickles to the mix. Still one of my favorite combos.

    Pheasant opener 2017

    I went against my own advice and walked a bit Friday for pheasants after getting a limit of ducks in the morning. Between the heat, 40-mph wind gusts and blizzard of cattail fuzz, we should have just gone home. Good news is the corn is coming down. That should help, along with cold temps.

    What's your definition and price point that constitutes "quality" versus "cheap?" Honest question, because as this thread has gone on, I feel like it varies quite significantly from person to person.

    Hay Creek Dispute

    "Alton Nitschke and his wife, Arlene, who are concerned about the quality and quantity of water that will be discharged onto their land, are appealing a permit that the Burleigh County Water Resource District granted to itself for a drainage project meant to remove excessive groundwater from the...

    Snows

    I hear ya. Buddy sent me a pic of a stack of snows, Canadas and mallards with the words "game on." This was last weekend. I'm not sure where he was, but it was north of DL a ways.

    Dog Boxes/Hunting Crates

    I have two Rough Tuff Kennels. Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely. I've bought enough cheap crates that crack/split/disintegrate I'd had enough. Plus I worry about the dogs. I know it won't stop them from getting killed in an accident, but I feel a bit better after watching the torture test...

    Snows

    Heard they're stacking up just south of the Canadian border. Lots of huntable numbers at the moment. I'm sure the leading edge will keep pushing when the corn comes off. Otherwise we'll have to wait for some cold temps.

    Hunting Clothing

    I hear ya Lungdeflator, and I agree! I think where I might differ is the degree of quality and price. Even if you found Sitka at half price, it's still more than double what you're talking about. At least from what I've seen.

    Hunting Clothing

    What the heck are you guys doing to your coolers to make them bust in a season?? I have a Coleman that I won in 2002 during my senior graduation night and it still has all it's pieces and still keeps things relatively cold. Thing couldn't have cost more than $20 at the time. Hey, if you guys...

    Hunting Clothing

    Hey, some guys get by with Coleman coolers to chill their Blue Num Nums, others need to spend $500 on a Yeti. I guess, personally, I'd rather buy myself a new shotgun with what I have leftover after getting a "garbage" set of hunting clothes, versus spending everything on high-end clothing. ;)

    Hunting Clothing

    I have a full set of Sitka waterfowl gear that was given to me as a perk (former job, long story). I wouldn't spend a dime on Sitka if it came out of my own pocket. You could literally buy yourself a brand new set of bibs and a jacket every year for the next 10 years for what one set of Sitka...

    Post a Photo of Your (4) Leg Companion

    Still one of my favorite pictures. This is a year ago when I had the bright idea to drag my then 3-year-old through eastern Nodak CRP (i.e. cattail sloughs) in search of wiley ringnecks. Thank the lord our oldest GWP, Remy (to the right of my son), pointed and retrieved the lone bird of the day...

    Ticks~

    I've found ticks during deer opener. Even after a few hard frosts, it only takes a day of decent weather to wake them up again. The worst are deer ticks. I think they thrive in cooler temps. Seems like the best days to grouse hunt (cold, late fall, frosty nights and mornings) are also prime for...

    AKC German Shorthairs

    I'd pay $1,000 for a pup out of solid lines with a clean bill of health. After spending dang near that amount the first 18 months with my Remy because of training and emergency vet visits, and racking up WAY more in the 7 years since, I still would have paid double for the pittance he cost me...
