my suggestion is to wait until you have finished school and have a job and a house of your own no matter how good the deal is. I know your intentions are good but it's just too difficult to spend enough time to train and work and raise a pup while still in school, studying, and living in a small apt ...

anybody tried out the new Drake waders? They look like they're pretty tough so does anybody have any experience with the LST version? The company makes excellent quality gear so I would expect their waders to be also. thanks

It is definitely a stressful time both for your dog but necessary. When he has finished this part of his/her training, there will be no more dropping birds at the ...

I agree, i've had some great shoots in the pouring rain. What's really interesting is - how do ducks see where they are going flying at 40-50 mph in the pouring rain. Have you ever stuck your head out the window of a fast moving car in the rain to see what its like to try to see ahead? They must ...
