    A little help for Shadow(NDR)

    Todd, it is really cool. I've been bringing him since he was 8 weeks old and now the students and fans expect to see him at all the games. They are disappointed if I don't bring him.

    A little help for Shadow(NDR)

    One of the great things about dogs is the stuff they do in addition to hunting. Shadow is a fixture at sporting events at the high school where I teach. He loves lacrosse because the players will launch the balls for him after the game, and is a big fan of Softball where we sit back from the...

    Is it worth having a dog?

    Worth every penny! Not just for the hunting experiences, every day is better with a dog. Funny story, yesterday I brought home a single pheasant. A crippled near dead hen that some one shot earlier and failed to recover. Without a dog it would have been scavenger food, now it will be added...

    I don't think it's necessary to post videos directly from a mobile device. As others have said most people who do video post to YouTube, I think its easy enough to just post a link to a YouTube video or Instagram video.

    I actually saw some ducks this trip....

    SJ Fairbank, I was at SFM around 5-6 pm on Friday. Just grabbed take out, if they still had outdoor tables I would have eaten outside with my dog. The moose were not in Lazy Tom stream, but further down the Spencer bay road. I should have dropped a waypoint on my OnX, but I got a late start...

    I actually saw some ducks this trip....

    The past 3 years in a row when I made my grouse trip to Maine I brought a handful of decoys and some steel shot in case I saw ducks on any of the water in the area I hunt. Not once did I see a single duck on a beaver pond or creek. This year I left all that gear at home and sure enough ran...

    Waterfowl hunter numbers on the decline in both the U.S. and Canada

    With the baby boomer generation aging, there will of course be a drop off in numbers. I think another problem is that for decades only half of our children were encouraged to hunt. Hunting was viewed as a father-son activity. This has changed a lot in the last decade or so, we need to continue...

    hunting in Maine

    Later in the fall might be the ticket, leaves will be down and and colder weather should thin out the mushrooms. When I hunted in 2020 it had been a dry end of summer and fall, so by mid October leaves were all but gone in the northern half of the state. There were lots of road birds being...

    hunting in Maine

    I've hunted in the North Maine Woods the last 3 years. I camped and hunted out of my truck. Last fall's trip was a mess after I got a flat tire on Golden Rd less than a mile after the check point. Drove back to Millinocket and ended up staying in a hotel for a night waiting for a set of...

    Field Trial Final Exam for Dogs

    You could put a brick wall in front of the ice cream and my boy would run right through it.

    What's on your Workbench - JUNE 2023

    Carl, I will try and put a cut list together when I can. A big part is taking all the stuff you want to put into it into your shop and building around your personal needs. I started by ordering the stove I wanted and building from there. There are lots of different styles out there if you...

    What's on your Workbench - JUNE 2023

    Dani, I'm definitely planning on using thinner plywood. I used 3/4 for the main framework, parts of the doors and the fold out counter space on top. I think I could definitely switch out a lot if not all of it to 1/2, especially if I use a high quality birch ply. Right now it could easily...

    What's on your Workbench - JUNE 2023

    I swear one of these days I'm going to carve more ducks, but in the mean time.... I built a Chuck Box/Camp Kitchen. It turned out to be bigger and heavier than I had originally planned, so the Mk II will be scaled down as more of a 1-2 person model.

    WAAAAAAAAAHOOOOOOOOO

    You know, it's hard to name a pup before you meet them. I was dead set on naming my boy "Riot" for months before I even had a litter picked. But when I picked him up for the first time I knew that wasn't his name. He was Shadow from the first time I saw him. Congrats on the puppy, it's a...

    Keeping the duck dog busy. Final update, 10/26.

    Wow!!! What a great trip all around. Thanks for sharing! A former student of mine spent her summer in Wyoming finding and collaring Mule Dear fawns, I wonder if you saw one of hers. She's in the Adirondacks of NY now working with Moose Biologists. I keep telling her she's my Scouting partner...
