>A View From the Kansas Prairie
>The remaining days of the bird season are coming to an end. I’ve enjoyed following my bird dogs across the Kansas prairie and dream of setter feathers in the wind and the roaring whirr of a 50 birder erupting from the short grass…organized-chaotically escaping. It’s been a grand season. My dogs are thin and worn,…
>Making of a Bird Dog
>Quail are the perfect bird to make a bird dog. I’ve seen several dogs have their lights flip and shine brightly while in pursuit of these delectable birds. I’ve also witnessed some season veterans go berserk. My first pointer, Jibbers, lost her mind once on a thousand bird covey of valley quail on the Snake…
>Bird Dog on a Hill…
>Today, being Christmas and all, I have a confession to make. I’m plum nuts about a 6 ounce hand full of feathers…not just any bird, but one that holds nice for pointin’ dogs and can explode and be gone in a mere blink of an eye. Leaving one standing with smokin’ barrels and nothing to…

>God Made Birddogs Tuff…
>My quail-bum friend & I exchanged texts today that went something on the lines like this… birddogdoc: How many coveys did you move today? Quail-bum: No hunting today. Dogs are 3 legged and a lot of swelling and feet are sore. birddogdoc: Liar…I know you! So, how many coveys? Quail-bum: No really, hunted a pasture…
>Coveys on the Prairie Wind
>The windswept Colorado prairie is home to many creatures great and small…antelope, mule deer, pat rats, jack rabbits and most importantly, scaled quail. Double gun, bamboo, and birddog affectionado Gary Thompson from Silk Lines & Paper Hulls and I set out to the eastern Colorado plains in search of the proclaimed elusive bird of the…

>Upland Idaho or Richard Edward: Part Deuce
>My brothers and I had 2 fantastic days chasing valley quail and gray partridge. The past few years have been poor due to draught conditions throughout the whole Gem State …but this year, the birds are back! We saw several hundred quail and huns over the two days. Andy and my dogs were awesome to…
>Upland Idaho or Richard Edward I
>I just returned home from one of the greatest hunting trips I’ve ever experienced…3,700 miles round trip to southern Idaho to hunt upland birds with my brothers (who are my dearest & closest friends). My bird dogs are lying motionless on the bed next to me…plum worn to the bone. They cover hundreds of miles…
>Day Dreaming
>I came across these drawings while looking at AYA’s website. I guess it doesn’t hurt to window shop and daydream! I got my AYA a couple years ago, and I’m still in love with my sweet Spanish gal! Here’s a link to AYA’s website…day dream away! Grouse season will be upon us in 77 short…
>Upland Sporting Literature
>I’ve been collecting bird dog books now for 13 years…and many of my hunting partners and closest friends have been trying to get me to disclose my gundog book source. After L-O-N-G thought and deliberation, I’ve decided to give you all the information now that I have all of GBE’s books (11 years in the…
