    Meat Handling on the Road

    I’ve cleaned with 1 wing, then kept them in an ice chest for 5 days. I wish the wing wasn’t on there. There has to be a lot of bacteria transfer. But they seemed fine when I got home. And I ate them without incident. As for best eating. The easiest to me is fajitas.

I recently went to the north shore of Minnesota and saw my first ruffed grouse. In fact my Britany Piper was with us and pointed it. Now I’d love to...

    Mckelvie National Forrest Trip Advice

    Valentine is the closest town big enough for a vet, supplies etc. I only had luck high. The hills are big I found birds high up in depressions. Valentine was about 25 miles. You can get some stuff at the reservoir. I had AT&T spotty service. I can’t imagine anything will work consistently...

    Reports

    i made 2 trips up. Bird numbers where I hunted were way off. The grass on most of the private land is grazed to the ground. I ranch so I understand there’s not much you can do when it’s dry, but everywhere looked like a pool table. Sure hope we see moisture this spring. Our terrible drought in...

    Bucket list trips!

    One of mine was Montana, been twice now. Another was the sandhills been twice there too. I’d love to try Arizona quail, ruffed grouse anywhere. Wild Chukar anywhere. If it’s wild birds I’ll try it. I hope I get to see one or two more good years of quail here in western Ok.

    First Kansas hunt

    I just hunted Kansas, it all depends on the area. We found a lot in some places, none in others. More quail than pheasants. It’s not a everyone limits season. But birds are there. My dog struggled with the dryness. She found coveys of quail but struggled with singles.
