Anyone finding any morels yet? I snuck out for a quick stroll through the woods today and found 2 of the tinyest grays you've ever seen. I'm not even sure how I saw them!! I think, according to the forecast, they'll start popping in my spot next week. But, my best spot seems to be a little...

Just a few pics from the last hunt of J?ger's first season.

Headed out yesterday morning in hopes of beating this cold front, but I still froze my butt off! The winds were brutal, (I knew they were going to be), and it really made scenting conditions tough. Truthfully, I think between the extreme cold we've had, (freeze drying what little moisture there...

Hey guys, I'm looking at a 16g Browning Auto-5 that a buddy of mine's, neighbor is selling. I've checked all the obvious sources, but I don't have the S&V book to look up the serial number. And, naturally...all of the obvious sources have really contradicting information. So, if anyone has...

Woke up bright and early on Black Friday and headed out alone with my 8 month old Drahthaar pup J?ger. After the first field, and no birds, I met up with the land owner and he showed me some new spots to hunt. After we parted ways, I bee-lined it back to one that caught my eye. A 1/2 section of...

We had a major cold front move through the area this weekend, and naturally...it brought ducks! With only one day to hunt this weekend, I decided to take one of our apprentices who's been hounding me to take him duck hunting. Last year was his first season of hunting ever, and I guess it was a...

And, J?ger's first big upland hunt! At 7 months, and with the bird numbers being the way they are, I didn't expect much. And truthfully, the goal was to just get him on birds, and to only shoot the ones he'd pointed and held. I know...tough goal, but I plan on testing him and I want to instill...

I've mentioned it before, but I'm an avid predator hunter. Yesterday, I decided to make a day of it in North East Kansas. Eventually my DD, J?ger, will be hunting with me, but at 6 1/2 months, he's not quite ready. He's plenty capable of sitting the stand, but not for the possibility of going...

Stupid question time... ;) How many of ya'all hunt wheat stubble? I know it can be productive,...I've done it,...but very seldom. I just have the hardest darn time talking myself into hunting wheat stubble when there's CRP or milo stubble, or a nice looking water way to hunt. Like I said, I...

I'm starting to think those big winter storms up north last weekend might have sped up the waterfowl migration. I saw several large flocks of geese (snows and Canadians) flying south today. Everything else this year has been way late, but THIS is way early. Assuming the ducks are flying too (I...

Went and called a couple of coyote stands this morning and on my way home I notice this little round bird sitting right at the edge of the gravel. I thought..."Surely not", but as I rolled past it was in fact a quail. Hmmmm, that's strange. So, I stopped, put the truck in reverse and slowly...

My first shotgun was a Winchester model 12 16 guage. I still have it and always will unless it gets handed down. I rarely shoot it now, but it's still one of the most natural pointing and comfortable shotguns I've ever shouldered. Anyway, I've always felt that the 16 was a pretty darn good "do...

I finally got around to picking up the new WIHA book and first off, KUDOS to them for finally printing it as a workable map! Honestly, I could do without the topo, but adding road numbers and names is a HUGE improvement! At first glance, I'm seeing a lot less WIHA land. Parcels that I've...

I hadn't really given it any serious thought yet, until a buddy of mine called yesterday asking if I'd seen any yet. It's been so darn hot! It's hard to believe we could be sitting in a blind searching the sky in a week or two! I've been hitting a lot of my local water holes in the evenings...

Unfortunately, my first post here, isn't a very good one. It's been one week and a day since I lost my best friend Rowdy. I got snowed in today, so I had a little time to surf the web and I've really enjoyed the reading, so I thought I'd share a little. In a nutshell, Rowdy had been getting...
