Same here, bro. Year after year

Bupkis for me

My 125 is a Cordova, and I like it a lot. Lots of fish, birds and a few big game critters have ridden home to the cooler in that thing. Holds ice as good as the rest. It’s all in the prep and packing anyhow

Small fringe group practicing a blood sport that’s older than recorded history, older than culture, older than humanity. It’s a real ethical dilemma.

Anyone interested in getting a grouse camp going for the opener? I’ve always focused more on elk and steelhead in September, but this year I want to do a big grouse opener weekend with my Griff pup. Probably a long weekend, potentially a four to five day stretch. Right now I’m kind of...

Oh yeah, if you’ve been following the game commission drama it has been wild.

Fuck yeah, I’d buy that regardless 😂 Make it Edgar or Griffey though…or Cal!

I’m hoping this is a joke. We’re headed there in both states, so I guess thumbs up?

Last weekend of the season brought even more firsts for me and my boy! First hard point, which was so badass bc he held the bird all the way to flush and then my dad and I both connected with the bird landing right in front of Morice so he made a quick and goofy retrieve to hand! He went on...

Look into the Theraband flex bar! That helps me when mine flares up. I need to just make it a part of my weekly workouts.

Sure! But this is going to be TL;DR for most. For context, my dad bought his first Gordon Setter back in 1991 from Norm Sorby at Springset Kennels. Her name was Duchess. I was 8 and had just got my hunters safety card. We hadn’t done a ton of explicit upland hunting before that, as my family...
