Bored with no hunting

I was bored with no hunting season open, so I headed to Ontario to hunt walleye. I wore my Pheasants Forever hat to feel like I was hunting. I had a good hunt and ate walleye every night. I even caught a couple of big throw back walleye. I also bagged my limit of mosquitos!! :D :D This trip should g...

Re: First Hunt - Looking for Tips

With a young dog you might want to hunt alone or with one gun if you take someone along. As garrison stated only birds handled properly should be shot. I believe the more birds shot over the dog the better and the more you take her out the more progress will be made. If you have fun the dog will to...

Did you update the collar when you got it? It works better if you have the latest update. Garmin has the information on their website. My buddy had to update his when he got it (his mini collar updates a different way then his regular size collar does--he has both size of collars).
