    Boot Inserts?

    I run superfeet green in all my boots. I had expensive custom orthotics from a podiatrist, he had me use the superfeet green while the custom orthotics were being shipped.

    Teaching Pup to Swim Like An Otter

    Pup is now 7 months old. I like water for teaching doubles because pup can clearly see both bumpers, splash marks are exciting and it helps build drive on that "memory mark".

    Teaching Pup to Swim Like An Otter

    I had a little lab that was the slowest swimmer of all the labs I owned. Below water she was churning fast, above water moving slow. Her webbed feet were tiny... I have 2 fast swimmers now, a 7-year old and the 7-month pup, the 7-year old is just a tad faster than pup.

    Anyone else have giant feet? Boot options

    I also buy 2 pairs when I find new boots I like. My latest are Crispi Colorados in size 14. I have narrow and long feet and they fit me well...wear them every day year round. Now at age 66 my feet have flattened a bit and I always wear Superfeet Green in my boots.

    3” semi auto 12ga recommendations

    I bought an Winchester SX4 this past fall. I like that it comes with spacers to lengthen the stock. So far no complaints. I shot about 800 rounds thru it and it functioned perfectly.

    wolf calibers

    In Alaska, most wolves are shot when grizzly bears are active during the Alaska Aug-Sept hunting season. So typically a fairly large caliber. This one was shot with a 180 grain partition from a .300 mag. If below timberline, as this one was, typical shots are less than 200 yards.

    Perfect Summer Weather

    I do love the warm summers we typically get in the interior. We have retriever field trial this weekend and folks from Anchorage/Kenai have been complaining about a cool and wet summer south of the Alaska Range.

    Perfect Summer Weather

    So true, I grew up playing basketball on the east coast in 90% humidity, 95 degree days. Now I wilt in Alaska when it gets in the upper 70s.
