Haven't flushed a grouse all season and woodcock numbers were extremely low in my area, (and the areas i traveled to hunt). So we went and ran a field trial at least then the dog gets to get ahold of a bird. The puppy got...

    Building a house for penny pinchers.

    As a GC there's usually a reason I'm not using the absolute cheapest guy. That said I do price out alot of stuff from different subs and vendors. Even on cost plus jobs I'm trying to hit the budget I told clients. But my clients are going to be different than what most on here are going to be...

    Building a house for penny pinchers.

    something to keep in mind if you plan on trying to build yourself without a General contractor. Most banks wont lend you the money without a GC license. so if you start it yourself without a GC you may screw yourself later on if you need to take a loan out.

    How much planning do you guys do for small game?

    Small game trip was a success. We got into woodcock 4 outta 5 days. Figure that's pretty good for first time trying to find them with a pup that had never smelled one before. We hammered some squirrels as well. We did have to change plans due to flooding so didn't get to get into the "prime"...

After looking at the American big 3 and tundra. I realized I was going to have to give up all luxury features, and add another 30-50,000...

    What do you do for a living?

    Commercial and high end residential project manager Monday through Thursday 8-5 and a 1/2 day Friday. I can also "work from home". As long as I'm responding to calls, texts, and emails I could work 100% remote. I was "off" 2.5 weeks in December and taking another week in January off.

    Those with more than one dog

    We have 3 dogs all French Brittany's. 12, 5, and almost 2. They all are different but I love them all. Hardest part was training my wife to understand how to train and handle them (I had 2 before we got married), they also got really spoiled by her. The next biggest challenge is traveling with...
