Well I hunted early and after deer season in ND. Early sucked, I mean sucked. Some hunters did okay but for me it was like Dixieman said. Left for new pastures for a couple weeks and when I came back it was some better, but that was a really low bar to pass. I had a friend who hunted in December...

Nailed it. I have had all of the options. I love my females both spayed and not. Same with my males both neutered and not. My females will turn in that absolutely stunning performance and the males tend to be the steady Eddies.. get a good breeding and train it whatever the sex. Both sexes have...

BB sorry for your recent losses. As for advice, good advice can come from anywhere as can bad advice. One day probably 25 or 30 years ago me, a tile contractor and a plumbing contractor and electrical contractor had lunch together in a custom home we were building. SS came up and we ran the...

We have a bear. It’s a regular plate and us seniors get it for free.

Since I have had my left knee replaced I hardly ever get them in my left leg, just my right.

Was thinking I was done a while ago. Last year couldn’t hit squat. So got new gun and glasses, practiced a bunch. This year could hit better, but the numbers sucked in my traditional range, I mean really sucked. However the last move to a new area got decent numbers and the dogs really did...

My one new thing this year was a new gun. Shot like chit last year so tried something totally different. Got a Fair 16 sxs off another forum. It was like a wand compared to my Berretta silver pigeon 12 . I could check weight but it felt like nothing when I carried it. My shooting improved vastly...

Wow the last time I hunted Nebraska was probably 5 years ago and the parcels were decent.

Yeah I was in awe of the CREP parcels, how could not there be birds in there. I also found PATH parcels and CHAP PARCELS that were excellent habitat. Way different from years ago. I am glad to see SD upping their game for the regular hunters.

Just thinking. I primarily hunt MT and ND but sunk down into SD this year. I also hunt almost exclusively public or private /public lands. I am Joe Blow tightwad public hunter. So for the heck of it I’m gonna rank access in those states and please chip in on access in other states just because I...

I got a Fair 16 ga sxs this summer that I seem to be doing better with. It sure is lighter to carry than my Beretta O/U. Still gonna look more.

I I’m 74 and got progressive glasses about 3 years ago. My shooting has gone in the toilet. I’m trying to compensate by buying new guns. It kind of works, at least it is fun.

Oh God I can’t unsee that now.

So Goose have you been 500 miles north of Plentywood? It is nice there. I wouldn’t disrespect that area at all. And just so you know the Yukon takes great care of their outhouses year around. That is not the end of the earth, I’ve seen the end of the earth.

No problem. I just found what you found. A couple days I put on over 200 miles trying to find them with no luck. Spotty is what I would call it, being generous. I’ve been coming to this area off and on since the late 80s and this probably the worst I’ve done here, oh hell I know it is the worst...
