    Jones Dog Box Renovation Pt. 2

    If I were you, I'd just leave it as a six hole and build storage underneath. Those louvers should keep everything dry in those boxes and they are probably plenty deep to store pretty big items. Frankly, I will only be hauling 3 dogs at a time most times, but there will be a number of times I...

    Jones Dog Box Renovation Pt. 2

    then installed the covers for the pop-up vents, these make for a very nice appearance and help with sharp edges and rivet ends from getting to the dogs and built a new front box divider using the old divider from the rear. I moved through the existing holes and the rear adding insulation...

    Jones Dog Box Renovations Pt. 1

    As I said in one of my prior posts, I bought this Jones Dog Box for a song from a fella in New Jersey. He used it for labs and based on the size of the dogs in the photos he sent, they weren't fitting in my box. He had a new one on order and needed to move this one quickly, so everything...

    Porcupine Question

    I had to pull his mouth open to get the first one out! When we were taking him to the vet, I was freaking out a little bit. I had a buddy of mine said it's going to be okay. I asked him if he thought he would ever do this again. His response was, "I've owned a lot of dogs in my time and most...

    Headed to Kansas

    All of these posts about food in Salina and no one mentions The Cozy Inn? You all are a bunch of novices or holding out the best spots! Definitely hit the Cozy and Blue Sky Brewery (provided it makes it through the Pandemic).

    Porcupine Question

    My experience is a little different than others -- I've 6 or 7 porkie encounters in Kansas in the last 5 years. All have come south of 400 and west of I-35 though. Last encounter was just this last fall. I've got a dog that likes to eat them, so I've got a keen eye for them when he's on the...

    Now what?

    In 10 days I will be headed to Texas for 7 days of quail hunting to wrap up my season. Second trip down there this year, it will be a great way to call it a year.

    Trinity Outfitters, Ennis, Texas. Anyone Used Them?

    Gumboot ... I suggest you re-read his posts. Call me a liar, gloves come off.

    Trapping on WIHA

    Never on WIHA, on a wildlife area twice. Should have had his tags on it. Cattle around anywhere?

    Trinity Outfitters, Ennis, Texas. Anyone Used Them?

    Either you are an idiot or a troll. I'll let you pick. For the others, take a look at the Rolling Plains Quail Research Ranch and follow Dr. Rollins on what has happened in west Texas.

    Trinity Outfitters, Ennis, Texas. Anyone Used Them?

    You all can have your laughs. I am not the fella that PheasantWhisperer was talking about but I moved 108 coveys like this in early December: Day 1: Arrive at lease at about 2:00 pm, hunting by 2:45 until 4:45 - 16 coveys. Day 2: Hunting by 7:45, hunt until about 12:15 until a dog gets...

    Last hunt of our season

    Yeah -- especially when that stuff is nice and frozen for the first field and as you leave you find out that, despite the sun shining, blue bird day -- you are slipping and sliding trying to keep it between the ditches. What is the craziest about that stuff (and what drives me bonkers) is that...

    Last hunt of our season

    Cheesy: Great end to the season. Looks like fun. I don't think that I will ever forget an opening morning when we parked, walking a 1/4 section. As we were making our turn, guys pull up, hop out and start hunting a draw (we'd already been through). They knew we were there because we were in...
