Some consider Southeastern Idaho as the trout Mecca of the West. You can watch a thousand YouTube videos covering fishing on the fabled rivers of Eastern Idaho. For someone seeking solitude and big fish, however, Idaho rivers seem overrun with more anglers and boats than fish, especially during the famous hatches. This makes adventurers like…
GunDog Central Article & Coronavirus in Pets Update
The world today is nuckingfuts! This isn’t a political blog, but I’ve been thoroughly entertained with the primaries. Being a smooth-bore fanatic, I tend to vote for the people who support our second Amendment Constitutional rights. Enough on that subject. Below are a couple links.

PICKIN’ POCKETS
When the ice melts in March and the world around me comes alive again, my fishing switch flips full-on and I love to pursue big browns on the Mini-Madison with streamers. I have been fishing this particular stretch of river since 2004 and I dare say I know it better than anyone. Fifteen years of…
Upland Ways Happenings
The Arkansas River basin snow pack is at 140 percent this year and our winter isn’t over just yet. We’re in that in-between season waiting patiently for the snow to melt and turkey to return to their leks and the caddis to hatch. Andy was recently featured on the Orvis’ Hunting & Shooting Podcast with…
Woodcock Hunting in The Deep South: One Man’s Trashbird is Another Man’s Treasure…by Matthew Lee, DMD
“What kind of bird dogs do you have?” “Pointers”, I reply. “We use to could walk up four of five coveys when I was young just out of my back door, no birds anymore, it’s a shame.” “Do you field trial?” “No sir, I mainly woodcock hunt in South Carolina. I travel a few times…
The Trout & The Grouse
I recently wrote a guest blog post on The Trout & The Grouse Journal. It’s that transition time of the year. I’m mourning the loss of the upland gunning season and look forward to chasing gobbling turkeys and rising trout. Hope you enjoy! Setter Feathers!
BIRDS OF THE VOID
Idaho is home to six native species of upland game birds, ruffed grouse, blue grouse, sage grouse, sharp-tailed grouse, Franklin grouse, and mountain quail. Idaho’s forest grouse are holding their own and provide unlimited opportunities for those willing to burn the boot rubber to find them. There is no longer a season for mountain quail…
White-tailed Ptarmigan Hunting Colorado Style
It’s been a glorious fall so far here in colorful Colorado. We’ve been several times into the grouse woods this September in search of blues and mountain sharptails…we’re seeing birds and getting good dog work but I have yet to fire a shell. My dogs have had some great points and my FB English cocker…
