Where are you located?

I am on the east side of the state Miami county

Thanks for the link. They look nice, wonder how heavy they are

I live in the KC metro area and am lookong for a 2 hole dog box for my truck. I have medium to large dogs. Open to all styles depending on price and condition. I do not need a trailer as I already have one.

I am by no means a dog expert, but my first bird dog was a pointer. I now have my second. My advice would be to work on basic obedience. I found that my pointers natural ability out weighed anything I could teach him. I just helped guide the mindset to stay on point. Grab a training program and...

I like to just stick to one choke. I know the pattern and I know my distance. If birds flush farther out I try to stay disciplined on my shot selection. Usually #6's in a IC or for quail 7 or 7 1/2's

Glad to hear I'm not the only guy around getting out a few times. I have a foxpro spitfire and try my hand at a little yote hunting. Like anything else takes time and effort. I consider it my bonus hunting season while I wait for spring turkeys.

As we are entering into the last month of the season, how many of you guys go coyote hunting after the closing weekend? I try to get out to help with the predator population and was curious if anyone else did too.

I don't think the post was anti farmer but more Hunter education as to how productive farm ground and habitat can be tied together. That as hunters we need to learn the best way to work with farmers/government to preserve what we love. The common ground is the soil we walk and we all should...

Thanks guys for the positive wishes. Was out in the central part of the state and saw some birds. 2 roosters flushed 1 medium sized covey 5 hen pheasants and 2 prairie chickens. With the wind and warm temps the birds didn't hold but Drake was in pursuit of the birds. Probably a combination of me...

Have been skunked the last two trips out so I am headed west tomorrow. Headed to the central part of the state, hope the dog and I can stumble upon a few birds. I fear this young dog isn't getting the bird work he needs.

Thanks for the informative reply. I do appreciate it. Now it's time to burn some gas and find places like this.

Great to hear that there is an abundant amount of quail this year. Duck I feel your frustration with a bad day of shooting. I have bad days like that and Drake my EP just shakes his head at me. This is only my 2nd year chaising Upland birds and am still trying to learn the game. I'd be...

Setter - how are setters in the field? I have hunted with GSP who like to run as does my EP. Lots of range and cover lots of ground. I have hunted with a Brittany that was more like a methodical machine. Back and forth, back and forth, never really ranging very far but did cover the ground...

Duck- my EP loves hunting quail and it is a joy to watch him hold point on a covey, but it is equally awesome to watch him creep/re position while holding a pheasant. He also gets possessive over pheasants but with quail just runs on to find the next covey like a game. FC- I have known a few...
