  1. Yea the drag made memories to say the least. Was worth it in the end though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Anything off sour spring gets a lot of pressure. Not that it can't be good hunting but there is a lot of pressure there. The best hunting is deep into the swamps. But the drags tend to suck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. it's not the same hitch the Subaru factory hitch is a far stronger unit. It ties into the unibody rails and replaces the impact bar under the rear bumper cover. For what a Subaru will be pulling the u haul is a fine hitch. Subarus isn't almost overkill but a superior hitch nonetheless Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Very cool both grouse and woodcock hatching are always good things. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. Because they don't have a positive locking device keeping them closed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Thank you. It definitely a constant reminder of that day Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  8. Got my buck back pretty happy with him Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. My cocker would stay out if I let her she looks like a wooly beast right now though. The pug Shepard mix can't do her business fast enough and would just assume stay inside Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. I don't look at it that way either. Hence if looked at from only a monetary stand point. My cocker is not just my hunting partner but also a valued member of my family. And the shepherd mix keeps the house safe when we are away. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. I for one do not think going without a dog makes anyone less of or more of a hunter. To each their own and owning and training a dog is definitely a losing investment.if looked at form only a monetary stand point. I guess when I said more in touch I should have said more invested. Running a bird dog or any hunting dog for that matter is way more than just buying a dog. Until you own and train one the rewards really aren't understood I guess? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. I have been successful in hunting with or without a dog. A properly trained dog will with no doubt increase your odds and downed birds recovered. Hunting with a bird dog makes no one any less of a hunter. In fact the amount of time and dedication to your dog may make you more I touch as a hunter as you have a year round project to keep your parter At the top of their game.

  13. I think if you talk to any bird hunter they would wish they shot better on grouse. I know i do,but I do shoot better than the state average of almost 20 flushes for one bird in hand. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. 35 started hunting at 12. Had been going with dad since very young. Like 3 or 4. Some of my best memories are from in the woods with my dad. Like driving a car for the first time at age 5 when we got my moms Toyota stuck on the old seasonal "road" at sugar hill. Covered dad in mud but found that skinny pedal no problem.

  15. wear woolrich pants when cold and always stay warm. when the temps really drop i break my navy issued peacoat out. every time i do i am motivated to do some exercise. After fifteen years it still fits for the most part just a bit snugger.
  16. other than the long drive to the birds grouse are my main passion. i do like deer hunting but if it wasnt for my distrust of others i would run my cocker through deer season.
  17. yes I help drag them out for my dad and uncle...they haven't quite hit old man status yet so help. That day my young mindset got the better of me as my dad offered to come help. I said I'd be ok just take my time which I did but in hind sight should have taken the help offered... Great memories thoughSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. yes one draw back to being somewhat young and knowing your way around the swamps is getting them out sucks.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
