Home Sweet Hunting Lodge
I’ve been hunting the north-central area of Kansas for the past several years – in and around Luray, Kansas. It was probably 7 or 8 years ago that I was introduced to the area by a friend of mine who had access to family (distant family) land in the area. It soon became an annual … Continue reading
The Jimmer Experiment: Oversized lap dog, or hunting machine?
Every time I talk about my family and/or mention my hunting dogs, I always tell people that I have 2 German Shorthair Pointers… and my wife has a lab. I’m not a “little, yappy dog” kind of guy – can’t stand them – so several years ago when my wife was pleading for a dog … Continue reading
Field First-Aid for My Shorthair Cora

How can you lose in Winner, SD? Well…
Our last pheasant fling of the year – a couple days in Winner, SD. Birds numbers were definitely down, but the trip was a lot of fun – I’ll definitely be back for more. Continue reading
Missed Opportunities at the Bowdoin Refuge in Malta, MT
One of the challenges with late-season pheasant hunting is that the birds are really smart. These are the all-stars of the pheasant crop – the smart birds that get straight A’s in survival. All the dumb birds are long gone. But that’s part of the challenge I enjoy. The last place you’ll find me is on a preserve or game farm with easy targets. I’m more about the hunt and watching my dogs work than I am about the kill. That said, it always feels nice to bag a rooster
