    Mid-Winter Scouting

    I am blessed to live in an area with so many potential spots (Montana). Spent yesterday looking at some new areas I had not yet hunted. Good exercise for me and the 1-year old pup. I covered 8 miles, the lab probably 25 miles. Flushed some cattail roosters and also found some new spots for...

    Nice day for a dog walk. Lab decided to go for a swim. "Otter tail" in action:

    Six Principles To Building A Great Dog

    I think this would be a fantastic book for anyone with their first dog. Advanced trainers might find this book too elemental because they learned these six principles years ago. I found this short book ($9 on Amazon) an easy read. There were not many specific examples, but the reader can think...

    Silence

    YES! I demonstrate this in the following video clip. First half is background noise and dog ignoring the human voice, second half is a quick puppy response to whistle and reward.

    Which bluetooth earbuds for shooting?

    I like $75 custom-moldable ballistic ear plugs...very good on windy days. https://decibullz.com/products/custom-molded-percussive-shooting-filter-earplugs I wore these over 90 days the past year and was happy with them. No battery needed.

    Silence

    A daily solo puppy walk helps with bonding and for future upland hunting. Pup learns to boldly explore new scents, sights and sounds and also learns to pay attention to the human companion. I am usually silent and pup learns to pay attention to my movement and naturally come in. Silence is...

    Winter Blues

    We typically had a couple mid-winter bonfire get-togethers in our driveway. Great fun.

    Winter Blues

    At -20 it is prime time to be out in the sunshine splitting firewood. I love the sound of crack, another birch round split so easily at -20. Running the chainsaw at -20, I used synthetic motor oil instead of conventional bar oil. A great time of year to cut up firewood for the next winter. -20...

    Winter Blues

    We now winter in Montana, after spending 30 years living near Fairbanks. Ten day forecast for Fairbanks. The cold snaps never bothered me as no wind, low humidity, so fairly comfortable as long as I was moving. But hard on equipment, especially plastics. All vehicles have plug-in heaters for...

    Winter Indoor Training

    It is too icy at our place to train outdoors. So I train 1-year old pup inside in our carpeted living room. We run hunt tests and field trials in the summer, so train for these events: 1) Multiple marking mechanics where I teach pup to return with perfect spinal alignment in relation to my foot...

    Waterfowl, let’s see them!

    Even more so in interior Alaska where the season starts Sept 1 and most ducks are "brown ducks". Daily bag limit is 10 "brown ducks" including pintails. We typically don't see green heads on mallards for a month.
