Lucky Friends

Brad Young, ex Green River guide, residing in Austin these days caught the striper on Lake Buchanan. He realized after eating the fish that it was a line class record.
Cole Clarkson caught the largemouth on his secret lake somewhere in Virginia.

Last Day Of The Nebraska Season

Puppy Training

I have been in Nebraska for the last week training my new pup, Poco, and closing down my hunting operation. Had a great season. We had fifteen hunters on the last weekend of the season and limited with 45 birds on the last day. A surprising amount of these were shot off of points which is pretty rare for late season birds. Poco is 3 months old tomorrow and has been a dream to train so far. She is pointing, coming and responding to the woe command. Lots of pheasants still around. She has pointed some but the brush is so high she can't see them flush. She is showing a lot of promise. I'll keep you posted.

Trout on the Guadalupe

Trout on the Guadalupe

Fished the Guadalupe last week with my friend Kevin Stubbs with Expedition Outfitters. Stellar day. Not a cloud in the sky, mid 70's and the trout were hungry. They were keyed on the trico hatch. Eating the adult as a dry-fly in the a.m. Drowned spinners after that. Caught fish in every run. I am always by the quality of this fishery. Though, it is a stocked fishery, there is so much carryover that it is hard to distinguish these trout from their wild brethren. You gotta try this. KT

New Pups

New Pups

I was given a fully trained 5 year old English Setter, Rosie, by a field trialer in Montana, Shannon Nygard. An upcoming episode is about our first hunt together. Rio my male and Rosie bred successfully on the opening day of pheasant season. Rosie delivered 5 healthy pups. They are all living with their new owners except the one I kept. Her name is Poco. They were all pointing at 5 weeks old. I'll keep you posted on the progress. KT

Horseback Quail Hunt

Quail hunting off of my friend Bert Jones Tennessee Walkers with our setters and pointers working ahead. 45,000 acres of the best quail habitat I've ever seen. Pointed 11 coveys in 4 hours. Shot a few birds. The most enjoyable quail hunt of my life. I can assure you Bert hasn't lost a step since his days in the NFL.
