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...

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...

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...

Oh, it has proven itself to be true.

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...

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).

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...

I will be on those rolling plains in 72 hours.

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.

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

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

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.

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...

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...

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...
