Max is from a field bred Shih Tzu line. I'm told his parents can handle ducks and pheasants fine but that I might need two of them if I go goose hunting. Deuce is a bit scared of him as you can see. Those dark eyes are intimidating. Unfortunately I'm only puppysitting...er...I mean, training...

It seems like yesterday that I announced on here that a litter was born with my future pup in it. It was 10 years ago today that Deuce was born. 7 weeks later he chose me, true story. I tried to pick another pup but a little slick haired rasckle wouldn't leave me alone. He would climb all over...

Hello everyone, hope those with seasons going are getting off to a good start. I had plans to duck hunt early this fall but if it's possible to have too much water for ducks we have had it. So many places are flooded and roads are in terrible shape. Looks like I'll stick to pheasants again this...

This seems to fit with the recent happenings on this and other groups. It seems all to common of occurance now that those men and women who influenced my youth are disappearing. A few weeks ago I saw the obituary for a teacher who I had in junior high. She was as nice of a person as I think I...

Walking past my goldfish pond I noticed several nice blooms. Then suddenly I am reminded of one of our long passed friends. A little 'find the snake' photo for Lee Harker. It's a strange time we live in....much more good than bad. Tim

Wish I had some duck photos but I have only been out once this season. I can say get ready to the south of here. Lots of ducks and geese moving right now. Most of my hunting time has been spent pursuing pheasants. Even though the numbers are down because of the drought we are still getting a...

We just had our 3 day early resident only pheasant season. Only public land and not many crops out so it can be tough. Too wet Saturday for good hunting (I got one wet ugly young rooster). Nice on Sunday but I had other things to do. Wouldn't you know it, the guys I would have hunted with saw...

Deuce and I went along with my brother and two of his sons on Sunday. They had failed to tell me that they had good goose prospects lines up before I got there so I brought nothing along. I would just watch...and let Deuce do his thing. Deuce got in a few good retrieves. One was well back in...

My brother picked up some foam decoys for me at an auction. 8 old Herters and 4 that I don't know what they are. A few heads but it looks like I need to carve a few. A look at the bottom of the ones I'm not sure of the make. Some other very light foam decoys. I think I'll cut the...

Today I got a couple emails from the breeder I painted that crate for in the August workbench. He emailed me that he had a couple 4 month old pups he might need to place elsewhere. I thought that odd. I'd been meaning to take the crate to him and he doesn't live that far away...so no time like...

Trying imgur to see if that will work. This is a Running Rooster Pheasant that I recently completed. A sight all pheasant hunters have seen at one time or another. Acrylics on an almost 1x3 foot wood slat panel. Tim

Out of the heart of winter and into the early stages of spring a man's thoughts turn to one thing. Yep you guessed it, Crappies. ;) Since i finished this up this evening I thought I'd take the burden off of Steve for one month and start the workbench thread. This is an 15x18 portrait of a...

Since Dave didn't have any fish involved in his report I thought I had better put up a couple photos even if they weren't too big. As an added bonus no rods were broken. :) Had a great time last Saturday fishing a small local lake with a few family members. It was 40 and lightly rained at times...

One of the classic voices of and for the outdoors. He always seemed to be involved with classy projects. http://www.ducks.org/ducks-unlimited-remembers-wade-bourne Tim

One brother was found dead and another is missing and presumed dead after their boat capsized on Monday near Brookings SD. Tuesday was the last day of the season. It was fairly nice on Monday but the wind came up late. Now with the cold weather it might be spring before the one brothers body is...

No ducks around so we have to find some way to pass the time. A couple screen shots off of the latest video. Just showing that pheasants don't hold for pointing dogs. :) Tim

I've been running Deuce on a lot of wild pheasants this preseason to get him into shape. One thing I've learned in our almost 3 years together is that not all points lead to a bird. I'm just glad that so far no striped furry critters have been pointed. I'd have been in serious trouble had this...

I'm a choke tube newbie. I recently purchased my first gun with choke tubes...next I'm thinking about trying one of those color TV. :) Has anyone tried the Carlson or Trulock 3 tube waterfowl sets? I don't want to break the bank on choke tubes. I do shoot a lot of steel at upland birds so I'd...

Been trying to get Deuce a few more birds to end the season. This may be that last hunt unless we make it out Sunday for a quick hunt. Probably saw the more pheasants today then I had in any day since opening weekend. The snow, cold and wind has bunched them up. The snow is still fluffy so...

This isn't very duck related but if we can start getting snow a little farther north it may help them next spring. A few weeks ago when the predicted 5" snow fall turned into 15" I was worried that winter was here to stay. I don't mind winter but when it starts that early with the ditches full...
