  1. My yellow lab earning his keep this morning. valoroutdoors.com
  2. The 3 of us went out this morning and did a repeat limit. 3 shots fired and 3 dead birds followed by 3 retrieves. A day of 3's. valoroutdoors.com
  3. Went out with my son and a good buddy this afternoon for a Canada Goose field hunt. My son called in a flock and we all picked out a bird and dropped all 3. Hunt was over as there is a 1 bird limit here. It was a beautiful afternoon and we all had a good time. First pic is my son and I with my yellow lab and the birds. Second pic is our buddy with my dog and the birds. valoroutdoors.com
  4. Today is opening day of duck season and Gunner got to make his first retrieve on a duck. We are very pleased with him. valoroutdoors.com
  5. There is no deadline for purchasing a hunting license. The only deadline is that you must purchase your license before you actually go hunting. The date and time of your purchase will appear on your hunting license. valoroutdoors.com
  6. We got out this morning on a private pond and Gunner got to make his first actual water retrieve on a Canada goose. Gunner was well behaved in the blind and we bagged another goose which he made another water retrieve on. Watching him make the retrieves was the best part of the hunt. valoroutdoors.com
  7. Soaking the breasts in brine is the first step and you're off to a good start. Be sure to change the water frequently. You want to get all of the blood out. Then take the breasts and place them in a crockpot. Add 1 bottle of your favorite barbecue sauce and some water. Cook the breasts on low for 8 hours. Remove the breasts and make pulled goose sandwiches. You will be amazed at how tender and delicious it comes out. valoroutdoors.com
  8. I thought I would put together a couple of photos showing Gunner's progress this year. The first photo is of Gunner at 8 weeks old retrieving a snow goose wing at home. The second photo is of Gunner yesterday at 8 months old retrieving his second Canada goose. That goose was a large heavy bird but Gunner brought him in. From 8 weeks to 8 months has been commendable. valoroutdoors.com
  9. Well we did it. Today was the first hunt for Gunner. He will be 8 months old in 3 days. He made his first retrieve of a Canada goose in the first picture and in the second picture he is resting in the blind after making a second retrieve He remained remarkably calm and we'll behaved throughout the morning hunt. I could not be happier with him. valoroutdoors.com
  10. You have a paper wasp nest on that limb and it probably was a paper wasp that stung you. You have a large local reaction on your hand. I've "been there done that" before. Read up on the attached link about large local reactions and how to treat yours. Wishing you a quick recovery. valoroutdoors.com https://www.healthline.com/health/wasp-sting
  11. Wishing you and your dad many happy years of hunting together. valoroutdoors.com
  12. They are usually yellow jacket wasps. There will be a hole in the ground and during the day you will see the wasps flying into and out of the hole. They are very aggressive if disturbed and their sting is very painful. The attached photo is of a yellow jacket ground nest in my front lawn from last year. The white powder is Sevin dust I poured into the hole at night after they were all in the nest. Two days later they were all dead and I filled in the hole.
  13. Gorgeous day out today on Skaneateles Lake. Picked up a nice smallmouth bass. valoroutdoors.com
  14. Here is the latest update. I bought Gunner one of those expensive Dokken Canada Goose dummies to train him to retrieve geese in addition to ducks. It is fairly large and heavy but Gunner had no problem retrieving it. I'm getting him ready for the early September Canada Goose season. valoroutdoors.com
  15. Kudos to the angels of the Animal Rescue Team for the admirable work they are doing for these deserving beagles. valoroutdoors.com.
  16. I have owned beagles since I was a young boy and there is a special place in my heart for beagles. This story is heart breaking to me. I am hoping that every one of these 4000 beagles find a loving home and family. If anyone on this forum can help out and adopt one please do so. There is a special place in heaven reserved for those who do. valoroutdoors.com. Here is the link for how to adopt one. https://www.humanesociety.org/4000beagles
  17. Well I have been working with Gunner this summer and he continues to progress excellently. In one photo you can see him sitting on a dock fixated on the white bumper you can see that I had thrown into the water. In the other photo you can see him swimming out to retrieve it after I gave him the command to retrieve it. He is a terrific dog and we will be taking him hunting next month for the early Canada goose season. There is nothing more rewarding than hunting with a good dog. valoroutdoors.com
  18. The heat wave has kept me from doing any scouting. In addition the deer flies seem to be everywhere this year. If I park my truck near the woods the deer flies swarm around my truck so bad that I won't even get out. Has anyone else noticed how bad they are this year? valoroutdoors.com
  19. Giving this a bump. Hopefully we will get some more replies. Let's give her some support. valoroutdoors.com
