Well said! And if all else fails look for good cover near a food source.

A Wingmaster of course :)

Thanks for the advice SpringCreek. Do you run a guide service or lodging outfit in the area?

I usually hunt WIHA for the opener with no problems from large crowds, but maybe Hill city is different, I don't know. I would think being so far away from a major city and the lack of hotel accommodations (I think there are only a few motels anywhere close by) would limit hunter numbers, but...

I am thinking of heading to Hill City for the opener this year, I wanted to hunt somewhere I have never hunted before and heard good things about this area. My plan is just to hunt walk in with a couple of my buddies and my GSP. However, I have talked few people about Hill City and have been...

The only problem that I have with the hunting clubs is that it's one price for everything. They won't customize a package for you and what you like to hunt. I don't hunt deer, ducks, or turkey, and I am not big time fisherman. So for me to pay $1200 just for upland hunting for three months a...

I have that app, and in terms of species, the area's I looked at, it did not seem very accurate. Of course I did not walk every inch of the property so who knows. And maybe the land was different way back when the agreements were signed. I would like to know where, when, and how this info was...

I am totally with you on this. At least half of my hunting days this year have been spent driving from one cow pasture to another. I understand everyone's "look on the bright side" comments as well, but remember we the people of KS pay to hunt this land. And I don't care how much the payments...

I meet Jim Lyons, owner of Lyons Den Kennels in Kingsville MO, when pheasant fest came through KC. I had a GSP pup at the time and looking for a trainer. His operation was sound, and the training went very well. The price was also very fair in my estimation. He used live pigeons and quail to...

All due respect, I kinda think many of us do help farms make their payments in the form of farm subsidies.

Sounds great, but I have been letting her release on the flush for three years, and her trainer did the same before then. I think it would be difficult to reverse it now. The only time I ever hunt with a group is opening day. Letting a young dog learn in the field these last few years has been...

Do you still have your dog box?

I think it is combination of all of these things. In all honesty I think I am just to loud. She is trained to a whistle but I think switching to a silent whistle will help but I have not tried yet. I have also used a bell and now a beeper collar to keep track of her because I have lost track of...

Thank you all for your replies and advice. So this is a bit of a newbie question, but do you let a dog the ranges out work a field differently than one that works close? if I let my dog range out (as seems to be the consensus on this board) should I just kind of follow her where she wants to go...
