“LOOKING BACK on our Nebraska Nebraska trip and what I just went through with Kona, my favorite part of the entire time was watching you with your two dogs in the field that afternoon…” I read the note as I stared at a surprise gift from my friend (and photographer) Scott. Staring at the metal print, it showed me beaming with pride in the Nebraska Sandhills, sandwiched between my two boys, Lincoln and Jones. Smiling not because we had a vest full of sharpies, quite the opposite actually, but rather because I was afield with both my beloved dogs—my pride and joy. Scott was coming off a scare with one of his Pudelpointers, Kona, who had gotten a mysterious illness, worrying all of us who have followed Scott and Kona’s…

Hoping to find more birds this year for your gun dog, as well as your freezer? E-scouting is a tactic that you should consider before hitting the field. It will have your boots (and paws) tromping through the uplands in search of the next flush rather than behind the cab of your truck wasting precious time and gas. E-scouting from your computer, tablet, or phone helps aid a successful day afield and gets precious bird contacts under the nose of your bird dog. Utilize these tips and tools before heading to the uplands this fall. UTILIZE ACCESS LAYERS By toggling on layers such as Walk-In and Possible Access layers, you’ve just opened up thousands of acres of land to hunt. Many states offer walk-in programs—private land opened to the public…

Let’s face it: Gun dogs require a lot of gear. When you bring a pup home, you need a kennel, collar, and food and water bowls. Then you need a place board, eventually an e-collar, training birds, a whistle, dummies—the list goes on. But the one tool that is key to a handler’s gear arsenal that is often overlooked: a reliable way to stake out your dogs. Tying your dogs out is an important piece of training, along with safety. It teaches a young pup patience (it’s not always their turn), it teaches them to give in to pressure on their neck without a handler on the other end, and it builds a calm and confident dog that is focused rather than exhausted when it is his time to train…
