    How to get into waterfowl hunting.

    First off I would make sure you really want to try it because if you do it will get in your blood. And like all other hunting it's not cheap Then get some waders, put them on, and go fall down a couple times in a pond and get soaked for practice. You can also try what I did and go with a buddy...

    Woodcock Dog Training

    Hello all. I wanted to share a photo I managed to take while out training my pudelpointer on spring woodcock back in March. The only thing in the picture that is in focus is the woodcock. I couldn't believe it when I got home and looked at it on the computer. These birds are really fun to...

    DIY Bird Dog Training Videos/Resources?

    I will second Standing Stone Kennels. They have great foundation videos and explain the process in a very clear way.

    Even more expensive coolers! Otterbox is in the game!

    That is what makes no sense to me as well. There are a bunch of competitors and they sell all their coolers for roughly the same amount of outrageous. Are we ever going to see a reasonably priced roto molded cooler?

    Flintlock Muzzleloaders

    Anyone out there hunt with a flintlock? I live on the NY/PA border and I am thinking about hunting the late PA flintlock season. It will extend my whitetail season by a whole month. I've never even owned a muzzle loader before so can anyone answer what kind of accessories I need to load and...

    Introduction

    Hey all, I don't know if people introduce themselves on this blog like they do on others, but I am a hunter from Western New York. I've been hunting whitetail, ducks, geese and small game in my home state for ten years now. I've been trying to get out west to elk hunt for a while now. I had...

    WA vs Mtn OPs

    I use MTN OPS Enduro and Yeti. I've never used WA and I don't know if supplements actually work or not, but I do seem to notice a difference at the gym. Whether that is a placebo effect I don't know.
