    Opening day

    How did everyone do? We had a group of 3 with 4 pointers of varying experience on the ground and were shut out. Hunted Central Illinois waterways with 25 yard wide grass strips and put up very few birds, six in 3 hours of hunting. No doubt the standing corn nearby and the strong winds from...

    Private land recommendations?

    I looked at his availability and the one camp available, Upland Ringneck, is more than what we're looking to spend. I appreciate the advice though.

    Private land recommendations?

    The farmer who's land we usually hunt is unfortunately going in for emergency surgery. He should be fine but he's a friend and we are all concerned for his health. Our hunt was scheduled for next Thursday through Saturday, 12/5 - 7. In an effort to salvage our trip we thought we would try...

    Brittany Breeder for pup or started dog Zeb thanks for the response.....the sex of the dog and whether it is a puppy or started dog is of lesser importance than its temperament.

    Brittany Breeder

    We are looking for a Brittany, started or pup, from quality lines that first and foremost has a good temperament.
