    Golden Retriever question

    Rarely see them afield. I have seen a few at hunt tests. When I was a kid and dad ran field trials back in the 70s and early 80s there was a lady he trained with that had some really nice Golden’s that she ran in field trials. I don’t remember her ever placing in one but her dogs were still...

    Iowa vs Kansas

    They proved they didn’t manage our turkey populations. Now they closed the fall season completely because they let everyone and their brother shoot hens every fall for years.

    Iowa vs Kansas

    Iowa was in the crapper for many years. I’d like to know what they did to convince farmers to leave habitat and also why they have more crp. But I know at one time pheasants in iowa we’re far and few between.

    Just because you hunt an area or spot or maybe 2 and see lots of birds doesn’t mean there are tons of birds everywhere. I can take you to a spot I hunt that is in poor pheasant country but because of the really good habitat there are quite a few on that 160 acres. If I took someone there who...

    Does South Dakota law enforcement use pheasant decoys?

    I am going to automatically assume that you are a habitual violator or have been caught in the past doing illegal activities. Usually people with that attitude have been caught and feel they shouldn’t have had to pay the piper for their violations but instead got off with a slap on the hand...

    Hunter harassment walking road right of ways...

    I hunted fort Pierre grasslands a few years ago and have never in my life come across so many rude people. Seemed like everyone around there was that way. The western part of the state (the only other part of the state I’ve spent any time in) seem about as nice of people as anywhere...

    4, 5, or 6 shot for you early season pheasant hunters? And what choke are you shooting?

    Don’t take questionable shots period. I shoot mallards and canada geese with it over decoys. Shoot an improved cylinder with it. They pattern very well. When I shoot mallards up close like in timber I like #6 steel through a modified choke. Dense patterns and head/neck shots within 35...

    4, 5, or 6 shot for you early season pheasant hunters? And what choke are you shooting?

    Oh no doubt. But those number 3 steels in 3 inch are probably the best all round shell you can shoot. I shoot them on mallards and canada geese over decoys. If I pull up with those on a phez 9.5 times outa 10 they are DRT. I also don’t take questionable shots either so that helps.

    4, 5, or 6 shot for you early season pheasant hunters? And what choke are you shooting?

    6 shot and 5 later in the year. If I’m somewhere that I have to shoot non toxic I shoot 3 inch number 3’s. That knocks there you know what in the dirt. Never seen a cripple with it.

    Chick Sightings?

    Look up videos by bill Hillman. Puppy videos. Keep that older dog away from him when you are training. Get a 7 foot 3/8 inch soft rope with no knot or handle on the end. Just a rope and flat collar. Watch the Hillman puppy videos.
