Gun Dog at Last

I grew up with laborador retrievers, so when we got a place with a big back yard my first thought was to get a lab. The only problem with that is that we also had two very small children. If you know anything about labs, they aren’t the most calm dogs in the world, especially […]

If you had asked me this past weekend if I would like to take an early morning swim complete with rubber boots, wool pants, multiple layers of coats/sweatshirts, all in 29 degree weather, I probably would have told to call me on Monday to set up an appointment for a psych eval. Then ask me […]

My Ears Are Still Ringing

Getting your limit of geese is a great day as is getting your limit of greenheads. Put the two limits together and you’ve just had an amazing day, especially when you’re completely done by 9:30 in the morning!

Great Day in the Field!

Duck Hunting South Zone (Missouri)

Yesterday we saw maybe 50 ducks total and ended up taking three mallards, the only three that came within 500yrds from us! It’s crazy how fickle waterfowl can be, especially in the late season – you just never know.
