Pondering ducks, dogs, and more 

Northern Celebrations  As waterfowl season enters full swing, an array of ponderings filter in and out of one’s mind:  Granted, sometimes those ponderings might be because of an abundance of time when the only thing moving are gentle breezes waving slough grass and a 10-week-old Brittany on her first waterfowl (AKA anything that she can […]

Knowledge is Key 

Northern Celebrations  Knowledge can unlock doors to many opportunities.  And knowledge is key when it comes to unlocking a hunting dog who inadvertently ventured into a trap or cable device when in the field.  It’s better to be proactive, educated, and prepared when it comes to dealing with in-the-field injuries and that includes knowing what […]

Garnet, Foreign Bodies, and bubble wrap

Northern Celebrations The bubble wrap almost came next and we’re hoping the new Hunting Maniac isn’t like one already in the house.

When the uncommon occurs  

Northern Celebrations   It doesn’t seem possible but fall hunting seasons have arrived – too soon for those who haven’t been conditioning and training their four-legged hunting maniac in the cool hours of the day.  Get out there in the short time before more hunting officially kicks off, especially considering early Canada goose and dove seasons […]

The Alphabet Chain - is it “M” for Monster???

Northern Celebrations Our family – my husband, myself, a brother-in-law, and nephew - have an alphabet chain of dog names for our Hunting Maniac Brittanys we’ve been blessed with over the years.  We started the tradition innocently enough, naming our first dog Britt. It was a great call name in the field. And what else […]

Swan Song 

The application deadline for one of 2,200 tundra swan licenses available in 2022 is rapidly approaching. Mark Aug. 17 on the calendar if that application hasn’t already been submitted. However, if 2022 follows trends in recent years, it’s possible – but not certain -  wanna-be swan hunters could still have an opportunity to hunt. The […]

Northern Celebrations: A Time and Place for Everything, Including Releasing Fish

It’s been said that there is a time and place for everything.   The old adage holds true for fishing, as well, especially when it comes to well-meaning anglers practicing catch-and-release.   Generally, releasing a healthy fish is a noble – and good - act.   It’s just that it’s not always the best for […]
