>One of my passions as a veterinarian is equine dentistry. I get tons of satisfaction and reward from floating teeth! It’s pretty neat to see a horse improve in performance and weight gain after I’ve worked on their teeth. Below are some photos of a horse that I recently worked on. You’ll notice by my…

FIRST TROUT OF THE YEAR, SPRING IS ALMOST HERE.
As a sportsman, have you noticed as the seasons change that you find yourself doing similar things that you have done in the past? Over the years, I have tried to go fishing every President’s Day even if it means standing in ice-choked river freezing my butt off. For me this recurring experience really brings…
Quilomene Co. & Desert Dogs
A good friend and client of mine told me a great story last year… He was hunting in Southern Arizona’s Mearn’s Country…they’d been hunting hard all day in those steep, slippery, gaud-awful rocky draws and were exhausted as they emerged from the nasty thickets. A stranger was standing next to their vehicle waiting to discuss…
THE WHITE WONDER: ELECTRICAL PERSUASION
This is a photo of Farley right after Kari picked him up. Looks pretty goofy to me! When I lived in Deary, Idaho during law school, the property upon which we lived had these tantilizing bass ponds. Every day after school, I would grab my family, my flyrod and little Farley and walk down to…
THE WHITE WONDER: FINDING FARLEY
With the hunting season over, I’m going to have to dig a little deeper into my repetiore to keep the blog going “in between the crazies” (a phrase coined by Steve Smith to describe the time in between hunting seasons). I thought I would share some birddog stories from my past. Since I started bird…
>Filson’s Shooting Bag
>This is my favorite piece of equipment while pursuing quail on the heartland prairies. Below are the details per Filson’s website. I’ve had several of them…they’re virtually indestructible too! I have carried water for the dogs, shells and 3 roosters and 8 quail in my bag for several hours on a glorious day in NC…
THE REAL QUAIL HOARS
Last weekend, I received a few text messages from my brother Shawn that I wanted to share with you . Hopefully, he will forgive me (oh, and I apologize in advance for the crudeness). But first I need to share a little background information. Shawn was hunting bobwhite quail and pheasants in Kansas one final…
>Paraphimosis and C&H Pure Cane Sugar
>Last week a 16 week old Pointer pup presented to my clinic with a condition termed paraphimosis…which is a condition where a male dog has the inability to retract his penis into the preputial sheath or prepuce. I’ve only seen a handful of these dogs over the last 12 years. This was the worst one…minus…
>Twenty-Four Coveys and the Final Hoorah!!
>Gary Ruppel and I headed to Kansas at 0’dark-thirty Thursday morning to chase birds in great quail country for the final weekend. It was great to say the least. We loaded his dog trailer with a mixture of 10 bird dogs from Labs to Pointers to setters to what he called a “novelty”…my FB English…
