Irish Water Spaniel: A Versatile Dog Breed Indeed

projectupland.com On The Go ·

2021/04/19

Is that a Doodle? …No, it is an Irish Water Spaniel. I thought water dogs were from Portugal? …It is a spaniel. Oh, a Portuguese Water Spaniel! …No, an Irish Water Spaniel. Are you sure it is not a Doodle? It looks like one. …I’m sure. This common conversation is one way that you can tell that your 65-pound, curly brown gundog is a rare breed. But the Irish Water Spaniel was once the third most popular hunting dog in the U.S. When the founders of the American Kennel Club est...

The earliest recorded reference of gunpowder was in the Taishang Shengzu Jindan Mijue during the Tang Dynasty in China; it was discovered during an alchemist's search to find an elixir of life. (Cambridge University Press 2008) It would still be hundreds of years until gunpowder would begin to be harnessed in way that resembles a more modern firearm. Craig Koshyk, Editor-in-Chief of Hunting Dog Confidential and foremost authority on hunting dog history and development, inspired me to dig int...

Introduction to Keeping Pigeons for Dog Training

2021/03/29

Congratulations! You just brought home a new bird dog puppy and among the many preparations you made in anticipation of this new family member was building a pigeon loft, stocking it with birds, and training the birds to rehome to their loft. Wait, you didn’t get around to that yet and you are just now searching the internet for training pigeons? You've come to the right place: here is a crash course in pigeon-keeping. It’s not nearly as tough as you might think. Read more at projectupland....

How to Hunt Squirrels with a Dog

projectupland.com On The Go ·

2021/03/25

The close relationship between dog and hunter is ancient. Even in what is now the United States, squirrel dogs have been helping us fill the game bag for hundreds of years. Having a good dog will assist in locating game when it’s difficult to pinpoint a food source, eliminate large patches of forest as not having game available for harvest, alert you of danger or an oncoming hunter, which improves safety, and reduce crippling losses by tracking and finding shot game.

2021/03/17

Boreal forests of Europe are not very fertile places and, until recently, people who settled there found it hard to support themselves with either hunting-gathering or agriculture alone. They learned to combine the two, plowing in the summer and hunting in the winter. Hunting yielded not only meat but furs as well, which became more and more important as civilization progressed. Sable pelts fueled the expansion of Moscow’s reach to the East, engaging one indigenous people after another in fur...

Etiquette of the Spring Turkey Hunting Season

2021/03/05

Adhering to the etiquette of the turkey woods will give you an experience that is safer, more enriching, and still rewarding by behaving as a good neighbor. Considering the fact that turkey hunting carries more risk of hunter-to-hunter conflict, setting a good example and following good practices will help everyone to share the woods appropriately. You will most likely experience some people not following these principles of etiquette, but taking the high road can go a long way in many things...

Squirrel Hunting Methods Without a Dog

projectupland.com On The Go ·

2021/03/04

Squirrel hunting—real squirrel hunting where you pursue wary game in the wild—will make you a better hunter. Every year as squirrel seasons open across the country, you will see a flurry of articles about that fact, but they rarely delve deeper, usually because they’re not written by squirrel hunters. It's a myth that squirrel hunting is only good for practice for other kinds of hunting. Squirrel hunting, in and of itself, is a worthwhile pursuit for any hunter. Read more at projectupland.com.

Understanding Bobwhite Quail Behavior

2021/03/02

Sometimes the biologist and naturalist sides of my brain collide with the bird hunter side. That alphabet soup of brain waves used to annoy me until I decided to use it to my advantage. I’ve found that being able to think like a game bird enables me to enjoy a more fulfilling hunting experience. Perhaps some definitions are in order, from Merriam-Webster’s dictionary: Biologist: A person who studies the science of the plant and animal life of a region or environment. Naturalist: A student ...

How to Pattern a Turkey Gun

It’s the middle of winter. Hunting seasons have come and gone, the holidays and election cycles are behind us, and we’re left looking forward to warmer days, longer light, and turkeys. With ample time to organize vests, decoys, calls, and your collection of the coolest retro camo that money can buy, there is one more chore that needs attention: patterning that new shotgun or choke that Santa brought. This is especially important with the ammo shortages we’re...

How to Hunt Sooty Grouse During the Spring Hoot

2021/02/24

Springtime sooty grouse hunting in southeast Alaska is nothing like traditional grouse hunting. It takes place in the spring months, there may be no deciduous trees for miles, and “fields” only occur below the tideline or above the timberline. Shotguns are usually left at home and the only thing at the ready is either bear spray or a .44 magnum. Both hands are needed for climbing or to gingerly hold devil's club away from your tender bits. Vests are replaced with backpacks. Hunting with a dog...

12 Things to Add to Your Canine First Aid Kit

2021/02/22

One of the most important roles we take on as gun dog owners is that of field veterinarian. Sooner or later, your dog will get hurt and rely on you to stabilize them long enough to reach the vet clinic, which could be hours away. Ready-made canine first aid kits have come a long way in recent years. They are a great foundation for your own personal kit, but since they are a one-size-fits-all product, they will need to be customized to your personal needs and experience level. Here are 12...

How to Identify Chukar Habitat

2021/02/19

If you’ve never hunted chukar before, it’s hard to describe its habitat. Well, kind of. They like dry, tortuous, and rocky slopes, but there’s obviously more to it than that. Although they’re not a native game bird in North America, there is a certain loyalty and enthusiasm that many upland hunters show for it, perhaps because of how hard you need to work for them. Learning to identify chukar habitat can go a long way toward making your hunt successful. Read more at projectupland.com.

Cheatgrass: Grass Awns, Hunting Dogs, and Climate Change

projectupland.com On The Go ·

2021/02/15

Grass awns are sharp, barbed seeds that are dropped by annual grasses like cheatgrass, Canada wild rye, and foxtail that work their way into animals’ skin and continue to move inward. They can also be inhaled. If not caught soon enough, a seed can dig through the skin into the subcutaneous layers and will eventually work its way into the chest cavity or other parts of an animal’s body and do serious damage—sometimes killing the animal. “Their sharp edges can lodge into tissues and they can c...

The Flatlander’s Guide to Hunting Desert Quail

2021/02/13

We had walked about three hundred yards from the trucks when I heard, “Lexi’s on point!” My breath formed a small cloud as I exhaled. The temperature that morning was a brisk twenty-eight degrees. I could not believe that I was in Arizona hunting desert quail. Funny thing is that it didn’t look like we were in the desert, per se. The elevation was much higher than I’d expected and the scenery was not very desert-like, or at least not as I’d imagined it would be. That thought qu...

How to Run and Gun in Turkey Hunting

projectupland.com On The Go ·

2021/02/11

Running and gunning means actively moving around a property and calling at intervals to find a wandering turkey. Hunters rely on natural cover and last-minute set ups, rather than calculated ground blinds. You simply walk some distance—maybe 20 yards, maybe 100 yards—and call. If a response comes, the hunter then quickly plans where to set up a safe shot at the turkey. Like the story above, it can happen fast and close; at other times, the answer can come from the distance and allow for...

As a woman and a first-generation hunter, my journey thus far has included a handful of barriers I’ve had to overcome, not the least of which was battling cancer in my first hunting season. It was my determination, confidence, creativity, and a yearning to learn about this waterfowl and upland hunting passion that has brought me to where I am today.

Gear Review: Orvis Pro LT Hunting Vest

2021/02/01

The upland community has seen a surge in vest innovations in recent years. The primary innovation seems to be the ability for the end user to configure and customize the vest's layout through a variety of pouches and accessories. That concept certainly has its merits, but for those looking for that capability, the Orvis Pro LT hunting vest isn’t for you. However, those looking for a vest that meets the sweet spot between a minimalist strap vest and the more elaborate setup of endless pouches,...
