We don't have much state-owned public land either. All our "public" land is state-leased private land. It's the same program that Kansas has, except Kansas has way more of it. We're happy with bird #s compared to the last 2-3 years, but they still have way more birds in Kansas. It may not...

If I was coming from Minnesota, I would hunt Kansas rather than Colorado. Most of us that hunt Colorado hunt here because it's our backyard. If Kansas and Nebraska were the same distance from me and the same license cost, I wouldn't hunt Colorado. Kansas is closer to you. We don't have it...

You don't "put your head down" on the stock. You bring the stock to your face (not vice versa), then bring the butt into your shoulder. In that order! The butt should never touch your shoulder until the stock is firmly planted on your cheek. The occasional failure to have your cheek on the...

http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/detail/sd/home/?cid=stelprdb1242739 VPA-HIP and CRP are both part of the farm bill. VPA-HIP funds walk in hunting in pretty much all the states that offer it, including CO, KS, and ND. I'm sure that the CPW leases up as much land as it can until it...

Snow can hurt or help, in my experience. If you have six plus inches of snow on the ground, often the birds won't want to run and will hold like bobwhites for points. If it only snows a couple inches, the birds will sometimes run even harder and fly farther out because they feel more exposed...

All pups are sold. Thanks to everyone who expressed interest!

Claire had 5 pups on 4/12. She had 1 black male, 2 yellow males, and 2 yellow females. All 5 pups are very healthy and precocious. They will be ready to for their new homes on 6/7. We've been having a good time with them and will be sad to see them go. I still have 1 yellow male available...

UPDATE - After the first attempt didn't take, we tried this breeding again. Claire flew to Chicago in February for a live breeding with Scooter. Claire is definitely pregnant and due to whelp in two weeks! We are very excited. Please contact me if you have any questions.

Here's a limit from Sunday: Nice set of spurs: The snow was still a bit crunchy, but for whatever reason the birds decided to play nice and hold tight.

It's my understanding that game wardens have a right to enter any private property holding game to check for game violations, so I wouldn't get confrontational with a game warden just because he or she is on private land. I have no clue why this game warden would check licenses on a game...

With all the armed internet trollers that will be after him now, that buck is going to feel like Osama Bin Laden!

That's truly heartbreaking and uplifting at the same time. Sorry for your loss and congrats on your grandchild. Prayers sent.

I'm half hoping I find a pink slip waiting for me at work tomorrow so I can give you a call!

Everyone has a Moby Dick. It sounds like yours is the dusky grouse!

I recently bred my female to a stud dog named Scooter that Martin bred one of his females to a couple years ago (Unfortunately, my breeding did not take). Anyway, as part of the process of investigating Scooter, I spoke/e-mailed with a couple people who bought pointing labs from Martin from his...
