His shoes were actually Vans, which I think are skateboarding shoes?!? The dog wasn't necessarily hunting, it walked beside him the whole time. Possibly it was an emotional support animal? 🤣 It wasn't gun shy, and seemed just happy to be included

I have the desire to add 2 old Browning's to add to my safe when the opportunities present themselves, but I am not in a rush. I would like to find a BSS and a Sweet 16. The BSS is my first acquisition target. I figured this forum would be a good spot to start in the event someone has one that...

The Friday following Thanksgiving this year was the first time "joining" a stranger has been a negative experience for me. We pulled up to a very good WIHA with our group of family that we do annually. I don't like big groups, but this is kind of a tradition for us. This year, we had 12 people...

I have a customer (non hunter) that only wears Crispi boots because he has bad feet, and has 2 different styles. He said not all of them "fit" him. He said if you call and talk to them, they will recommend a boot type that matches your foot based on a series of questions. If this is true, I...

*Kind of off topic, but still related to boots* Most of my hunting has been in Western Kansas. The stickers in the ditch and along trail roads were much worse this year sure to the rain over the summer. The ditches are all full of sandburs, and the trail roads are covered in puncture vine/Texas...

? I'm a golfer! I was at the local club today dropping things off. Saw a 4-man group out there enjoying the 70* day. I put my clubs up annually in early November and break out the shotguns! Kind of wish I had more time yesterday to join them. December golf is always a bonus in Kansas, and fun to...

Thanks for posting this. I have never had a gun failure in the field, so developed a bad habit of trusting that I never will. Hearing stories about others missing opportunities makes me cringe. I'll be packing a backup from now on. Franchi Alcione 2 barrel set 12/20 is my go to (typically with...

LOUD! My son bought 12 gauge and 20 gauge Benelli Supersports this year. They look really cool. I hunt a lot and have never wore plugs in the field. I carried the 20 gauge and he carried the 12 gauge on opening weekend. Both of these guns made our ears ring on opening weekend. He's 20 and...

Until this last weekend, we have seen the same thing. Last year was good to great in spots. This year has been good to great almost everywhere. Unfortunately we have lost several birds because the rain that help the birds populate, also have created some very heavy cover. Because of the number...

Last year, we were bouncing around the county more than normal. We decided to try a spot 15 miles south for the "last spot of the day", before road hunting on our way home and the route home would be coming back this area. To save miles and gas, we condensed down from 3 vehicles to just 2...

Not nice Bob! Funny, but not nice!

Well... After reading all of these responses, I guess I just have to live with this crazy mutt! It doesn't sound like she's "broken" after all.

This questions is for anyone that has an indoor family pet, that also is your highly driven and skilled 4-legged hunting partner. How aware are they to knowing your routines and when it's a hunting day? What action triggers them? How excited (or annoying) do they get, even if others I'm the...

Very interesting. Thanks for the follow up and the article.

I have had a dog, even my current one find birds like this on the same day before, but never a full week removed. Fairly common for me to go back through an area later looking for an earlier downed birds. I'm this case, I figured a coyote would have had lunch in the past week. Regardless, we...
