I have stayed there in a popup in the middle of january durng the cold. You can rent a site with elect only, no water or sewer and the showers are closed. My propane lasts me 3 to 4 days in the dead of winter. If you have a state park annual permit, site with elect cost $14 per night. If no park...

This is typical B.S. from "todays" politicians (American royalty). The WIHA program is great but will probabley die on the vine in the short order as the states resources are exploited for commercial value. Once the resources are expended then what will be left is a failed policy and a few that...

I agree, whats mine is mine and yours is yours. My dog, your land. If I could move the land out from under my dog I would.:)

If my bird dog happen to cross onto private land which I did not have permission to hunt (marked or not), and my dog did not respond when called, I would DEFINITELY go and get MY dog. I would leave my gun at the line though. As for retrieving game, NO. If I shot a deer and needed to...

I know you said a larger dog but you might take a look at the Braque Francais. They look like a small GSP but with some interesting characteristics. You can not be heavy handed with this breed but they mature quick in their hunting abilities. On the downside there are only 2 breeders in the...

As far as large predators go, we hunters are at the top of that food chain. When predating (hunting), I'll bet more people are killed by other deer and turkey hunters than anything else.

During the 09-10 deer season KDWP posted pics of one taken from a deer hunter while in his treestand. I think the pic was taken in Wabuansee county. December 16, 2010 the KDWP confirmed one in Nemaha county sighted on Dec 7. They have confirmed 5 sightings since 2007 according to the KDWP website.

Went there for the opener as I have for the last 10 years camping on one of the designated areas in the WMA. I always enjoy it regardless of how well I do, just getting out and watching the dogs work as well as having made a few friends over the years. I like being able to walk out of my camper...

Nice dogs Shadow. Gee I think! I don't mind a dog repositioning as long as they don't muck things up. That was my point when explaining dogs either hunt or don't. You should not have to teach the dog anything about hunting or honoring or quartering etc. Thats what they do. My dogs too can get...

Good idea in the wind even though the wind never blows here in Kansas;) Do you find it just holds the pattern better or are you also getting farther knock down range? I too prefer to shoot them over a point but was think more on when 2 birds flush and getting the 2nd shot at the farther bird.

I know this is a year late but I just noticed for the first time that I had notices. Pretty silly of me, but I appologize for not getting back to you on your pups training. I love the GSP's and spoil mine. They live in the house and have a dog door to go outside in a large fenced area. I think...

I use an Browning Citori 12ga 28" barrel O/U for pheasants and was wondering if anyone changes their chokes later in the season. I use imp cyl and mod normally but have thought about switching the imp cyl for a full choke during the later season. Has anyone ever noticed a difference? Also I...

from a 3 day pheasant hunt. First day (Mon) didn't arrive until later in the day and only hunted an hour. Saw a few birds and got 1. Second day hunted the same general area in the morning for about 2 hours and got 1 bird and again only saw a few so I decided to head on further west an hour or so...

Alot of interesting perspectives here. Here's my 2 cents worth. I think first and foremost the parents of any good hunting dog must have been or be good hunters. If one parent doesn't hunt then you have a 50/50 chance of the pup not hunting. If neither hunt , then good luck. Second I believe you...

You wouldn't be related to the Tompkins from Florida by any chance? My grandfather's name was Loyce Tompkins and he had a bunch of brothers and sisters, Ray, Dan, Clara.. to name a few. Can't remember them all.
