Late season dove hunting has never been particularly productive for me, most likely because I have never really tried. The first season is easy, find a stocktank and just get comfortable. As a long time Lab owner, Ruby is my fifth, I really enjoy wing shooting over a tank and watching the dog do what […]
Is It Time For Your Dream To come True?
Merry Christmas from Quailpro, LLC (and a grumpy Ruby)!
Dove Season Starts Tomorrow; Is Fido Ready?
With the opening of the North Zone tomorrow, thousands of Texans will be heading afield in search of dove. Lucky hunters will enjoy the companionship of a dog. It is critical to watch your dog closely for heat exhaustion. Many retrievers are also house dogs and have been inside so […]
