    Duck dog

    My Dad owned a duck hunting club in Imperial Valley in California for 50 years. Almost all the dogs were Labs. In all that time I only saw one lab that had a mean streak. If anyone wore a wide brim hat (like a cowboy style) , the dog would try to eat you lunch. The owner got him as a 1 1/2 year...

    Gun Build

    I have 2 custom rifles, one in .300 Wby and the other .220 Ackley Improved Swift. The .300 is and older custom build that was given to me. It used a commercial Mauser action. When I got it the barrel was worn out so I rebarreled it and changed the stock. It does shoot sub moa groups out to 500...

    Alaska Fishing Trip

    When I was there in 2019, we went mid May to Mid June. Wanted to avoid the summer crowds (started coming in as we left), not get totally eaten up by the bugs and catch the first king runs. I also wanted to be there for a big minus tide for clamming. We accomplished everything. Sleeping bear was...

    Duck dog

    My last 2 Labs have been partially indoor dogs. Our home here in Colorado is set up for a dog. I have a bed in the mud room the the dog stays in at night. We use a special vacume cleaner for pets that does a wonderful job picking up hair. I also have an outside enclosure (20x20) with lots of...

    Guys in the market?

    When I retired 21 years ago, I changed my whole investment program. I had cancer and was told I had a 10% chance to live 5 years. I took all my cash assets and put them in CD's and Muny Bonds. If there was a problem with stocks and the market became problematic and i lost any of my nest egg, I...

    Duck dog

    I have been training my own dogs for 40 years. It is really not that difficult, but you have to have the time to do it. It is really better to train your own dog, as the dog has only one real "boss" and that is you. If you have the dog professionally trained, both you and the dog have to be...

    Duck dog

    IMHO there is nothing to compare with a Lab. I've owned a great Springer Spaniel that was an outstanding upland game dog, but for waterfowl, the Lab is supreme. They are also a wonderful family dog. I do know a breeder near Colorado Springs who has great bloodlines and great dogs. His pups are...

    First OTC hunt questions

    2nd & 3rd OTC tags are good in lots of units. Almost all the elk units have the OTC unlimited licenses. You can also buy the tag online cpw.state.co.us click "buy & apply" option or by phone (800) 244-5613 or phone. I would suggest looking at the regs online and call and ask them to send you...

    Alaska Fishing Trip

    My wife and I spent a month in Alaska in 2019 and the advice from Bob is spot on. There are so many different types of fishing available that you will need to pick out what you want to fish for in advance and plan for that. The salmon runs last all summer for different species and different...

    Portable Bear Fence in Grizz country?

    A few years back I was on a guided elk hunt to Thorofare in the Teton Wilderness. There were lots of Grizzlies in the area and we saw then almost every day hunting. The outfitter had basically 4 lines of defense. The outer one was the stock. They made lots of noise if a bear came around at...
