skunked on pheasant saturday. Did get into a few quail though . Will be back after them this weekend probably.

Last weekend for the roosters boys. Good luck and it looks like you'll need to bring suntan lotion and shorts. I'll be out Friday and Sunday. If anyone sees a blue Subaru in the field, stop by and say hi.

Curious to know how many of you wear hunter orange while bird hunting. It doesn't seem to be a law here in OK. The law states that any hunter, hunting during any open big game firearms season, is required to wear orange hat or shirt/vest. Doesn't say anything about the rest of the season...

as far as what habitat to find them in. Look for old structures over grown, any cover that provides overhead cover and bare ground underneath and food nearby is a plus.

I heard that. Had a group that I had pinned at the back of a cover. I'm convinced they were pinned because the rest of the cover was so thin it was ridiculous. Sure enough they didn't flush again. Dogs started bothering with a brush pile and my first thought was: "yeah I would hide under...

I'm in OK too and we've had running coveys for the past few weeks. The worst is that I'll put up a covey. watch them sit back down and go after them, and then I can't find them again. Unreal. the last one, I put up 30 birds or so, and on the second flush I put up 4.

Love DF. It's really the only place I day trip anymore. Birds are PhDs and are very good at avoiding you but they are there. It gets actively Managed so it's a little different every year but for the most part I know a general area and timing of where to find birds. This year is tough due to all...

Had a crazy weekend. Got out twice.bad shooting was the rule this weekend apparently. Friday I moved 5 coveys that totaled to over 100 birds, with a handful of pheasant. Everything was running even the quail. Sunday, kicked up 7 pheasant and 2 coveys. Dogs chasing the runners out of range...

had this issue with my first lab. Made the mistake of shooting a rabbit over her in the field before I shot a bird over her. It was January, couldn't find the birds, I like rabbit. Anyway, she just wanted to hunt rabbits for a while after that. I started bringing a bird wing with us and a few...

We were using a 6 month injection originally and that worked better than the oral but it stopped being made or something.

got into both quail and pheasant pretty good again this weekend. Poor shooting ruled the day. Even the quail were running and pulled a couple houdinis on us. killed one rooster.

yeah, we use it here in oklahoma. We get ticks pretty much year round if it is above 50 degrees. Had to switch because our dogs swam so much they washed the topical off after a few weeks. As was mentioned, the tickets get on your dog, but once they bite, they die.

we use dr tims now. Both dogs do great on it.

federal makes a target/game load in steel. 6s or 7s. I try and grab a few boxes in the offseason or early in the year.

benelli montefeltro in 12. Backup gun is a nova pump. Do not like to carry that in the field but it does the job.
