    How many of you let birds go?

    PF put out an article suggesting that hunters could harvest 93 percent of pre-hunt rooster numbers without harming the population, and that such a high rate of harvest is very unusual, if not impossible. The article goes on to say that the normal range is 45-65 percent. Adding an average...

    How many of you let birds go?

    i've heard over the years that in areas with high birds density areas, roosters have a tendency to push hens out of premium cover in the winter, and the hens succumbing to exposure to the inhospitable weather? is there any truth to that?

    There’s something about a November sunset on the prairie that asks you to stop and listen—not with your ears, but with your whole self. After a day in the field, boots worn and hands weathered by wind, this is the reward: sky stretched wide in a blaze of orange and violet, clouds layered like...

    Record birds 2024. I only read half the article

    I'm sure this has been covered ad nauseum in the past, but why do there appear to be substantially more pheasants harvested (and presumably present) in SD than the other plains/prairie states?

    Raspberry Burger

    Found some Blues Hog Raspberry Chipotle bbq sauce that looked much like what came on the burger at The Depot. Turned out better than I was expecting. I also used it for a sauce on some jalapeño cheddar rooster poppers.

    Garmin Alpha 300 Lanyard

    a bit off-topic, but i seem to remember watching a video on youtube of a guy hunting with his dog and the guy's watch was apparently synced to a gps e-collar that told him how far and what direction the dog was from him. it seemed much more convenient to look at the wrist watch instead of...

    Raspberry Burger

    A few weeks ago, we treated our guides to dinner at the Depot in Mitchell. I had the Raspberry Popper Burger that had a raspberry sauce I’d never had or even heard of before. After that, I started noticing raspberry burgers on other menus. Are these common in the upper Midwest, and does...

    Season Wrap Up

    January 28, 2024 East River, South of I-90 This field had drifts on the edges that were crotch deep…. The drift in this stand of corn was about 3 ft high. When I walked thru this corn six weeks prior, the tops of the stalks were over my head.

    Season Wrap Up

    Last year, I hunted in shin to knee deep snow for the first time ever. This year, I hunted in negative temps for the first time. If it wasn’t for the gale force winds, I think I would prefer the colder temps without the deep snow. But that dang wind rips the soul right out of me. I do enjoy...
