    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.

    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...

    2025 WI Pheasant Thread

    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.

    How’s your shooting been?

    I blame it on the new strap vest. Gun doesn't shoulder the same as it had for the last 30 years!

    How’s your shooting been?

    My shooting has been terrible. I have missed at least 6 birds this year. Everyone I hunt with wonders if I'm ok.
