Hi all, went out today solo for a bit (Will was working cows and Jim had a ton of homework). Was able to limit out with the help of my beloved Duchess. Had to fish one bird out the creek and the one in the middle must be a punk rooster. I was using my 12b Joseph Harkom & Son today....Love those hammerguns!!!  Best!!! Greg

My veteran cousin came out today to hunt. He was dis-abled in Afgan from a roadside bomb (third tour). Because of my sprained left leg all I could do is stand in my bay window and watch him do his best with his dog. He hunted about half of my swamp and got his bird. Good job Sgt. Cody!

Good to hear he was able to get a bird! Had to work all weekend moving to a new office and getting my winterization done at home for my stock tank, hay, and my poultry sheds.

Good for you Joel!!!! Glad your wounded warrior cousin was able to get out and get some shooting. My hats off to him as well as my heartfelt thanks and respect for his service to our great nation! Without guys like him,we would not be sitting here on this forum discussing guns and hunting....we wouldn't have either one. Next time you see him, shake his hand and thank him for me. Hope your leg heals soon...need to get back out there. All the best! Greg

Always good to hear success stories of wounded soldiers. Our freedoms in the Uplands would not be there if it wasn't continually protected by those who serve. Good dogs make up for hard weather and leery birds.

Next time I see him handshakes from everyone here on the forum will be forthcoming. He will have those two steel rods implanted in his back the rest of his life.

Good show Bob!!! Odd thing about this season, early on the birds were spooky, now they seemed to have settled down and are holding a bit better.
I think we've seen the last of the fair weather hunters around here after this weekend. Folks are gearing up for deer in 2 weeks.
Good Show!

Perhaps the fair weather hunters are done for the year there, but up here in the "patch" all of these thousands of oil workers are all over every block management area, from Plentywood to Froid.
I have never seen so many folks in the fields in all the years I have been here.
I visited with three groups last week when I went up to Froid to hunt with a landowner I am friends with. They had two birds among 14 hunters, stark proof of the value of a good dog, which they had none.
Housing up here for these folks is either man camps or camper trailers, neither of which accommodates keeping a dog.
I must get five or six calls a week on the kennel phone from folks wanting to know if I rent or lease a dog by the day.
