    Kuiu Upland Field Vest Review ***Updated 11/24/24***

    When I see all these new vests I can't help to think most people must bring a lot more shit with them when they go bird hunting than I do lol I am away from my vehicle for 3 to 4 hours at a clip and I find the biggest concern is water capacity. I fit three 32 oz bottles and water bladder in my...

    Best Eating Upland Bird Poll

    I really like woodcock but not enough to vote for it. Breaded and then fried makes for a great appetizer. Would be nice if people put some recipe ideas as well, I would bet we all get stuck making the same few recipes and the google machine typically spits out complicated recipes than I would...

    Last Minute Training

    Update: birds on the ground for three training sessions now. First one, a couple small corrections. Last two, no corrections. Standing for multiple flushes, shots and fall. Now I just want to give him enough reps to keep him honest the next couple weeks before our first trip for grouse this...

    Last Minute Training

    Baby born at the beginning of the year put me behind on my youngest dog. I finished force fetch and polished delivery at the beginning of August and went into steadiness work. Giving room for mistakes (by me) and allowing for some days where my buddy just has a bad day, I should have him...

    Turkey load?

    Long beard xr. 3.5 inch #5s if you want to shoot to 50. 3 inch #6 40 and under. Gun, choke and ammo all need to work together for best patterns. Tons of youtube videos show endless results. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Off season for the dogs

    Already started back into retrieve work. He is progressing well (knock on wood) so just refreshing on different objects to proof the training before moving it into the field with fresh shot birds. Once I am satisfied with the retrieve work then we will go right into steadiness and focus on it...

    Questions about first waterfowl dog.

    You want a dog with a good temperament. All the drive in the world doesn't matter if they are so high strung they are unbearable to live with and some breeders that want ribbons don't take care enough about an off switch. There are some very successful breeders with plenty of titles on their...

    Choosing a Dog

    Here is some information that most people won't tell you: Hunting dogs are a pain in the ass no matter what when you first get them. If they aren't then you probably don't have a hunting dog. Most dogs take two full adult hunting seasons to truly season, mature and learn that at home they rest...

    Diamond Black Ice Modules

    Good luck. I had the Diamond Black Ice FLX - rotating module - and killed many, many deer with it. Nice drawing bow.

    Paintball gun as bear deterrent

    Frozen paintballs might be an okay solution if you shoot them in the face. I have friends that deal with bears all the time and use less than lethal rounds and spray on bears. Show no mercy or they will just be back the next night.

    Help me choose a Duck gun

    I truly don't think this decision is as agonizing as you are making it. Just get a 12. Why? Ammo much, much easier to find and much cheaper local and online. I have both a 12 gauge and 20 gauge for waterfowl but if I was picking one it would be the 12 gauge. Also, don't get 3.5 inch mags...

    Unlimited PTO?!?

    Most people that have education and/or skills would not work there if that is how they were treated for using leave.

    What to look for when buying a pointer puppy.

    Questions to ask. Drive? Cooperation? How much do they actually hunt their dogs? Where do they hunt their dogs? What birds? What range/pace are they moving? Do they check in often or do they go long periods without? Natural Retrieve Ability? Water? How steady are they? Did they do formal...

    GPS collar and unit advice

    The alpha 10 is a toy compared to the other units IMO. I think very few people would be happy with it as a stand alone unit and it’s overpriced for what it is. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
