Gun Dog Magazine is the best magazine for hunting enthusiasts who are owners of retrieving breeds. Each issue is guaranteed to be filled with useful information devoted to you, your dog and the sport of upland bird and waterfowl hunters.
ONE OF MY favorite departments in GUN DOG is the last page we call Tales Gone By. The column is always dedicated to a dog, living or gone too soon. The dog can be a hunting dog, or just a beloved family dog, it doesn’t matter. Dogs are unique, and my only requirement for the story is I want you to feel as if you know the dog, even if you have never scratched its ear or hunted behind it. The column is meant to evoke emotion, whether that be in the form of extreme pride, misty eyes, or bouts of uncontrollable laughter—all of which our dogs are known to pull from us. The love you have for your dogs tends to bring out your inner Hemmingway—some of you write…

Come December through February, the snow starts pummeling the states and conditions are brutally cold—but that is also prime time to hunt upland birds. Brave the bitterness and grab your dog, these tips will help you bag more birds in the late season. SATELLITE IMAGERY By the time December rolls around, birds have been hunted often and hard. This makes them wary and smart. Their habitat has also changed as they are now seeking hard to find food and shelter from the harsh weather conditions.

THIS PHEASANT, kale, and gnocchi soup makes a nice meal during the colder months of the year. It’s creamy, hearty, and full of vegetable goodness in addition to making good use of leftover game meat. And with every other slurp, pillow-y gnocchi—Italian-style potato dumplings—make this soup irresistible. This is a “to taste” kind of recipe. I like heavy vegetables and little meat in soup, whereas you might like the opposite—add or subtract ingredients to your liking. Although store-bought gnocchi, either frozen or dried, will save you time, there’s nothing quite like the delicate, tenderness of homemade gnocchi. I’ve included my recipe if you’d like to try making this potato dumpling for yourself. The recipe will make more than you need—because if you’re going to go through with it, you might…
