    Hearing Protection

    I'm trying Decibullz Percussive Filters this year for waterfowl and upland birds. $80 and you can mold the plastic to fit the bowl of your ear. They don't make it easier to hear other people in your blind but you can hear pretty well and they cancel out the shot pretty good.

    My first Drahthaar

    Great decision on going with a German versatile breed. My dad has a pudelpointer and I've been doing all the training and it has changed everything about how and how much I hunt. It's a decision you will never regret and because you have a buddy that is always up for going out you will go...

    Spring Woodcock

    We are allowed to run the dog until April 15 for training only, although we're probably done for the year. We don't want to affect any nests that might be on the ground. I wonder if this year was a good year for woodcock? It's the most by far I've seen. The last time I was out with the dog a...

    Spring Woodcock

    We got our bird dog out to some public land the other day in western New York to chase some spring woodcock. We found ten! It's definitely the most I've ever seen in one day. This is our first bird dog Bear. He's a one year old pudelpointer. I snapped a lucky picture of one woodcock. It's...

    Possible Elk Trip to Utah or Idaho

    So my boss walked into my office a couple days ago and said he is sending me on a work training in Salt Lake City in Utah October 1-3. I asked him if it doesn't cost the company extra money can I play with the return date of the trip and take some vacation days to hunt elk? He told me he...

Does anyone have any knowledge of this unit and willing to nudge me in the right direction? It is likely I will be out for the 3rd OTC...

    My East Crazies Trespassing Trial

    Hey Rob. I am a prosecutor when I'm not hunting. You are using the term discovery correctly. Speaking from experience, he likely isn't trying to psych you out by withholding discovery. Discovery can take a while and he probably has a lot of cases to work on. Not that makes it any less...

    Wild Horse Advisory Board Proposal to BLM to Euthanize Excess Mustangs

    Hello all, I don't know if any of you have heard about this proposal, so I thought I would post a link to an article with a Q&A with one of the Advisory Board members Ben Masters. It is certainly a big conservation issue of our time. The board voted 7-1 last week to propose the euthanasia or...

    Rainbow Gathering

    I'm not sure how true this is, but I was around Jackson Hole 8 years ago when the Rainbow People had their gathering. One of the ranch hands at the ranch I was at had a dog. The ranch hand gave the dog the weirdest haircut I have ever seen. He had heard the Rainbow People steal and trade dogs...
