    Governor Noem writes about her hunting dog

    This is the ironic part. We've all done things we regret in life. But to publish it in a book while having VP aspirations is the epitome of stupidity. Especially in a state where upland bird hunting and hunting dogs are a massive part of the state's economy and tourism.

    Great Season Brewing

    I am not sure how far along crop planting is in the region either. Its been very wet the entire month of April. Way too wet to get in there and plant any crops yet. If we don't get a few days of drier weather pretty soon, crops are gonna get in very late, which in turns usually means a late...

    Governor Noem writes about her hunting dog

    Didn't she have aspirations to be Trump's VP? I think we can count that one out now. I'd call that a major effect (not in a good way either) on her career if she was potentially in line to receive that nomination.

    Crazy weather

    I feel like drought it inevitable though. At some point in May or June, the spigot is going to turn off and we'll plunge right back into an annual summer flash drought. Its occurred so frequently in recent years that I've just come to expect it.

    Great Season Brewing

    June will be pivotal for nesting. A monsoon of rain/severe weather ruins that. But drought does also. Drought seems to be a much more likely problem than too much rain given how things have gone in recent years.

    2024 Spring Turkey Hunt

    I filled my tag on day 1 of season B here in MN. It was only the second day of April with winds under 30 mph. I went out in the morning and saw a nice group of turkeys about 150 yards away. After they went over the horizon around 9:30am, I moved my blind a little, hoping they would return...

    2024 Spring Turkey Hunt

    I set mine up a day or two in advance. And stake it down so it doesn't blow away in the wind like a giant sail.

    2024 Spring Turkey Hunt

    Based on this I am assuming you don't use a blind. You just sit on the ground in a full camo outfit, like a ghillie suit. I am a blind guy. I like how it allows me the freedom of some movement like drinking coffee or looking through binoculars. Plus if it rains, I stay dry. And I can sit in...

    Many of us are pigs.

    I don't waterfowl hunt anymore now but I'm sure I missed some of my ejected casings when I did. Most of them floated so I just picked them up. If you think hunters are slobs, go check out a lake in the winter time here that's full of ice fishermen. 10 times worse.

    That's what I'd do too. Divide and conquer.

    Feeding Time

    My dog would eat a 40 pound bag of dog food if she could. She found a dead cow in the field in December that the farmer had dumped a couple days before and refused to leave it until I walked over to her and pulled her away from it by the collar. All she wanted to do was eat more beef. lol

    Feeding Time

    Haha. My dog would be dead if I let her eat all that she wanted to. Literally, there is no control.

    Water in the field...

    I fill a small bucket with a cover and keep that in the back of my truck. I don't carry water while I'm actually hunting. My hunting spots are all less than an hour at a time, and I don't hunt in the heat or warmth of October anyways.

    Feeding Time

    My dog is a bottomless pit. It doesn't matter if the food is cold, hot, wet, dry, or rotting. It goes down the gullet like a pelican inhaling fish.

    HOE-LEE-COW!

    He has gotten to be slightly more tolerable than he used to. If I'm not mistaken he had a stroke or a heart attack and then lost a lot of weight. I think that experience humbled him some. Too many johnsonvilles would be my guess. I do like that his shows are new every week. I tune out...

    2024 Spring Turkey Hunt

    That's a nickname for the pen raised pheasants on this forum. Also known as pseudo-roosters. They look like pheasants, but they act more like domesticated poultry.

    2024 Spring Turkey Hunt

    This steep decline in the Kansas turkey population has been brought up here before. Its too bad they couldn't see it coming and responded with lower bag limits/shortened seasons before it became a major issue. Obviously the pheasant population has been in a gradual decline for years because of...
