I think I read that service to Bo now is $1500. That's a lot of money to pay for service that can no more guarantee a dog like Bo than breeding to some other very good dogs. Ant the cost of pup's? Have no idea what they go for but get your Bo pup at eight weeks and what you will get is an eight wee...

I just returned to the sport after a 15 year hiatus. The biggest change I noticed is the attitude of running the hour championship stakes over participating in the local weekender. It appears that there are a lot more hour championship now than there used to be. I don't know but it seems that the ho...

Sage Grouse are easy, just drive dirt roads early in the morning. 5's are overkill they die out of fear of being shot, and after you have killed a few be sure to add your boot to the pot for flavor and tenderness.

Ammo doesnt really matter as much as people think. I didnt carry anything more than a .410 this year with 7.5's and 8's. Killed LOTS of birds and didnt have any cripples. For the life of me I cant understand why folks get so heck bent on what load, gun, etc. I agree. I shoot an open choke, skeet, o...

You know Horizon here is what gets me. You say it's about ethics and yet you sale your dogs with limited registration without spay/neuter contracts which does not prevent accidental breedings that could create un registered puppies, or registration fraud from your puppies, and yet your worried about...

I love the vibrate on my Dogtra 3500 NCP, my dog responds better to the vibrate than a nick when I need to turn her. I use the vibrate for recall too.

Are all the puppies you sale with limited registration spayed and neutered?

My Buddy shot this one on the chukar opening. Shot it with a 20 gauge, 7.5 shot at 10 yards. He mouth squeaked and it ran right to him.

I had a bleacher that was pretty tall that I would go run stairs every other morning until the city took it down a few months ago. It was old with wooden seats and stairs that had some give in them so it was easy on the joints.

Takes some real stupidity to do a shout out to your gang..... Really? Sherman is a complete POS who shouldn't be allowed to play. Not something the NFL should allow.

California is a pioneering State for radical ideas to be implemented. Those ideals are then exported around the US. Through incrementalism they have advanced all kinds of animal rights legislation beginning in Cali and on to the rest of the US. This won't pass today but in a few years it will pass a...

Mine has the quirk of making 500+ yard casts into deep nasty canyons and going on point near the bottom. She did it again today.

I really am interested in your thought process. Farmers gave up control when they went on the dole with the original farm bill in the 30's. Can you just go out and hay your CRP without permission? Can you plant whatever you want on your land? Along with the subsidies came increased regulations cont...

If you are going to hunt quail in Texas, you are going to pay. In time it will be that way throughout the country. There is no logic in expecting taxpayers to furnish us with land and game to hunt.

I disagree. Most of the people that I've talked to about it think it's somehow better for the planet. I'm not sure if your being serious or sarcastic?

The ethanol subsidy has a lot to do with the loss of CRP. With grain prices artificially high due to a subsidy it is a natural action for a farmer to plow under his CRP and convert it back to crops. The best thing that could happen is for no farm bill to ever be passed again ending all subsidies, an...

I agree with everyone about saving insead of insurance. I would take that approach if i myself had a steady income. For now $10that a month os worthwhile.

The only challenge to hunting alone with one dog is nobody is there to see the incredible moments when they happen. I hunt alone a lot with my only dog and we have great times together, sometime so great you can't tell anybody about them because people won't believe it.

I took this Saturday morning. I purposefully left the file so large so you could see the distance from which the dog pointed the bird.

I am a little surprised that so much emphasis is place on health testing, but proven/exposure in actual hunting situations, which is the whole reason we breed bird dogs was not even discussed till like 15 posts in.
