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
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...
Hey there! Do you live around the Columbia Basin, Yakima area, or Spokane and are interested in training with a NAVHDA training group? Do you already have a group who you train with?
I am currently being asked by a leader in the NAVHDA trial world to survey and recruit some folks interested in...
I never have just because we were taught to do it with sheers and your hands. Not a tough guy thing, that’s just what we did. That said, I do use a fillet knife to breast ducks sometimes or turkeys.

There is something really amazing about it.
oh yes! We have a variety of metal toothed combs running around. We grew up raising Gordon Setters, so I’m well versed in the burr removal.
Thanks! I’m very happy with him. Never going back to setters 😂
He hunts a little then usually finds a soft spot in the sand to dig a giant hole, then he gets tired and lays down and watches me.
If I wade out to my waist he will swim out and check on me, then I redirect him back to the bank. Which is great except when it’s a swift tailout and he’s about...
Well after not hunting upland for five years after my last dog passed, we got a new pup back in August. I had been wanting a WPG for years, so we pulled the trigger and spent the big money.
