    Six at one spot? You could do that once or twice, then never again.

    Cattle

    They eat the corn and seeds in the turds and spread the manure around, fertilizing the field for the cows grass to grow better..

    Indiana 2025

    Did my first IN quail hunt yesterday. Conditions were absolutely perfect after a scary cold start. Left my house and it was 12 degrees. Got to buddies a little further south and East and it's 24. 50 minute drive to other side of Indy. Light winds, partly sunny and about 2-3inch of snow on the...

    That's the best time to go. Everything is quiet and you can stalk hunt.

    Bloody Nose

    I just applied some Snout Soother to my dog a few minutes ago. Works good and supposedly doesn't mess with their ability to smell. He does love to try to lick it off however. But it does work.

    Ever gotten in trouble while outdoors alone?

    Forgot the best one. Was duck hunting and waded out to get a downed bird in my lake. Got about 40 yards and the muck was so deep could not get me feet out.

    Asking a favor-history of pheasant hunting

    That's similar to Kankakee Sands in Indiana. They have a bison herd and an area that is labeled Beaver Lake Prairie Chicken Reserve. I inquired about that and was told they don't have any yet. The plan is to get some - someday.

    The study said billions in North America, not the world. Cats kill for fun. If they are outside they are fair game.

    Ever gotten in trouble while outdoors alone?

    Locked keys in trunk while duck hunting. That was no fun. Luckily found a piece of wire out near the road, was able, after about 8000 attempts to unlock a door, but this was back when cars did not have remote trunk release and well before cell phones. Then had to basically take the back seat...

    Here in Indiana we were supposed to get 4-10". I'm guessing it was less than 2".

    Was yesterday. They got 4 inch so far but expecting up to 18' more in the next three days. of course I always divide by 2 and subtract 4 to get a more realistic number.
