    Yeah found a few deer this summer when we scouted. Glad to hear the pressure wasn’t insane!

    South Dakota West River

    Heading to SD to 49B during the week of Thanksgiving with the wife. Hoping we can cut back on pressure being weekdays and late in the season. Open to WT or MD. We scouted briefly in July to get an idea of the terrain so have that going for us. Just seeing if anyone has hunted here before and...

    Super close tree stand shots?

    Yeah I could absolutely see how that may happen, if it was a bull it may have been a different story. I had zero blood around the shot so I backed out a couple hours then found blood at 40 yds and it sprayed all the way till I found him dead, stiff as a board. I’m lucky it’s so open here in...

    Super close tree stand shots?

    Thanks guys! Definitely not new to hunting, shot around 25 deer so over the seasons but all with rifle. Bow hunted a lot but was always waiting for the right deer in the right circumstances and it finally happened! Was 16-17’ up. I appreciate the feedback, always over thinking things per...

    Super close tree stand shots?

    I’m curious on opinions regarding those super close treestand shots with a bow. I had this buck doggin two does hard the morning after thanksgiving here in North Dakota. My first deer with a bow also. He got behind me at 35yds right away and I thought the hunt was over based on wind, the does...

    Lack of love for waterfowlers

    To reiterate he is NOT food aggressive at all. I can take and give his food and always have been able to.

    He is 2 is February. Definitely could be age. My lab is a trait for trait amazing dog and I think my wire gets jealous of the attention he gets. Not like the attention is way off balance but the wire is a jealous dog.

    Yep having chews around is not the norm anyway so we are removing them. Especially with company coming over for holidays. He really is gentle with company in general. Just is odd, I’ve seen kids come over and take toys from him with no issues but then this happens. Of course no risks will be...

    Yes, dog has no issues retrieving and giving up birds. I have a local guy who breeds and trains GWPs, he’s going to help me out with this behavior. I’m not as worried as I was last night, I do appreciate all the feedback though guys. He’s a great dog, just needs some extra work. My labs are...

    Surely hope that isn’t directed towards me. These things happen and I am open to feedback but saying I shouldn’t own my breed isn’t called for.

    And when I say he is very protective I mean he is aloof with strangers and alerts us when people are here. He doesn’t incessantly bark but definitely alerts us. We leave him feee at night only for that fact because if anyone broke in I promise you they would regret it. Let’s say my buddy decided...
