    Hunter Nation

    Anyone a member of and/or have an opinion of the Hunter Nation organization? Earlier this week Ted Nugent's show Spirit of the Wild was essentially an info-mmercial for it, with several outdoor personalities urging watchers to join. Obviously, Uncle Ted and his wife are both heavily involved...

    The Bird Word...

    Here's NDGF's official word on the upland outlook this season. Not sure I agree, at least around here, but who knows? https://www.thedickinsonpress.com/northland-outdoors/7188446-North-Dakotas-pheasant-population-down-grouse-and-partridge-remain-steady

    16 Ga Prairie Storm Price!

    Went in Runnings today to see what was on the shelf. I don't own a 16 gauge and I know it's hard to find now, but this is ridiculous. This time last year at Runnings Prairie Storm was $18.99 a box and at the same time they had it bulk 100 rounds of 12 gauge in a plastic ammo box for $59.99...

    Uninsulated Danner Pronghorns For Early Season...

    Looking like early season in ND is going to be dry & warm/hot, so it was a good excuse to look for a new pair of boots. I had gotten a pair of Irish Setter Vapor Treks for this purpose a couple years back. Broke them in but didn't use them much until a few weeks ago when I wore them during the...

    Blue Green Algae & Dehydration in ND & SD This Year...

    Be mindful to keep yourselves and your dogs well hydrated while hunting ND and SD this year. Also, with the drought conditions this year anticipate blue-green algae in about any slough or stock dam you find in the field this fall. Remember your dog will cover twice as much ground as you and...

    Electronic Posting Effective 08-01-21

    Electronic Posting goes into effect on 08-01-21. Landowners can now post electronically but still have the option to post with no trespassing signs. If land is unposted it's incumbent on the hunter to check if it's e-posted before going on it. The impression I get is that "I didn't see any...

    How fast are they?

    Pretty darned fast, and they get up to speed quickly. This afternoon I was driving home from work and came across a rooster picking grit on the side of the road. I was doing 45-50 and he flushed just before I got to him. Rather than head away from the road, he flew down the ditch right next...

    Wow...

    Cheaper Than Dirt is selling Federal Blue Box trap loads for $49.99 a box! That's the stuff that is normally around $5.00 a box anywhere. Hope everyone stocked up on ammo & components while you had the chance, this is going to be a rough 2-4 years...

    How About The Weirdest, Strangest Thing you've Seen/Experienced While Hunting?

    OK, this is an extension of Sweet 16's thread on the coolest thing you've seen while hunting. I'm asking what the weirdest,/strangest thing you've seen or experienced while hunting (any kind of hunting)? If you've spent any substantial time in the field I'm betting you have seen or experienced...

    Another Season in The Books...

    Our season in ND ended yesterday. 2020 makes it 55 years since I bumped off my first pheasant (with a Daisy 1894 BB gun). It was 45 degrees, no snow, and windy, which other than the wind was a first for January 3rd up here for me. Bet we walked 5 miles yesterday for only 6 hens and 1 rooster...

    Earning Them Now...

    With only a couple weeks left in the season and October weather continuing in western ND, we are earning every rooster. Went out Sunday, put on 4 miles or so. The Crew put up lots of hens but wild flushes were the rule for roosters. I mean a cough or crunching catttails was enough to wild...

    My Pet Peeve During Yesterday's Hunt...

    Want to preface this and say that I'm not a fan of push & block hunting nor more than 4 guns in the few times I hunt with a group for anything. My concern is safety, as in my experience it defaults to the least experienced, least safety conscious, or least ethical member of the group. Nor am I...

    Hits & Misses...

    Pheasant hunting is full of inexplicable hits & misses... So I'm out with the Wrecking Crew last Sunday. They are putting up steady but not spectacular numbers of birds, unlike Saturday which was unforgettable for the sheer number of birds flushed. They flush a rooster about 10 yards in front...

    Wrecking Crew Does It Again...

    Yet another limit courtesy of the Wrecking Crew this morning. They flushed a couple hundred, as many times as I've seen this it never gets old. As usual old Betty got a couple blinds when we got back...

    Tell Me About Your Best Ever Dog...

    Anybody who has trained and/or owned several gun dogs has one that stands above the rest. Share some stories... My best lab was the first I trained from a 7 week old pup, under the mentoring of pro Mark Jansma. Josie (Jacie's Dakota Gold) had 13 litter mates (The Thundering Herd), who we...

    Limit of Sharps

    Yesterday morning I went down to the far SW corner of the state to scout my rifle tag deer hunting spot. That area is prime sharptail country so of course, I took the labs and my Citori. Didn't take overly long to get into them, and these grouse didn't get the memo they are supposed to be...

    Yard Birds...

    Have snow developing so I'm not going out this morning. Maybe this afternoon, we'll see... As I'm typing this, I'm watching 6 roosters in the backyard and a 7th that is headed up the driveway toward the food plot a couple hundred yards north of the house. Harley is watching them out the...
