    Nice looking dog Brandon.
    I spent yesterday morning with a pro training dogs and running mine.You don't realize how much work you need as a handler until you spend time with somebody that does it for a living. My dog looked good though considering who trained her.
    My 9 week old puppy is a hellion! I'll see if I can find some pics of her.

    I need to find one around my area. I'll find out just how far off Hammer is on Tuesday morning when dove season opens.

    Thanks! He is only 8 months old. Pushing 85lbs now. He should hit around 110lbs when he is done. He's a hoss for sure.

    Congrats on first forum goose of the year! Season opens Saturday here. Geese have been using one of my fields religiously but I can guarantee that will change Friday; it's inevitable!

    Nice!


    Season opens tomorrow. Got the layouts mudded last night and everything ready to go.

    Full tank of gas in the last two days and only 6 birds left in the area that I could find. Typical early season...

    After doing volunteer work with DNR this year and getting to know biologists in our area and talking with them about waterfowl and reading reports on water fowl numbers we got talking about the black ducks and their decline over the years.

    So this year and maybe the next few years I won't harvest any black ducks. I usually shoot around 15 or so a year.

    They are down 11% on the yearly average and 13% over
