I just keep driving. Steel is junk.

Forgot to answer the original post. Most people I've already contacted don't give much a damn about the Covid, buit I simply step back a ways from the door and keep my 6 feet. Most are elderly.

This is a great topic, and one that everyone can learn from. First a caveat- I do hunt in an area where a lot of people know my family and that does open some doors. Not always. But I have amassed a lot of great pheasant cover over the last several years and made some good friends doing so...

Looking to share info and compare notes in prep for a bird huunting trip this fall. Looking to expand the species roster from the Sage and Blue grouse I've been after and looking at new areas. No, not asking for anyones secret spots, just regional info...

Howdy- the old Cabelas strap vest is getting a bit thin in spots and in need of replacement. The Avery Heritage vest and Duxbak strap vest are the closest "old school" designs I have it narrowed down to. Anyone use either? I like the strap setup and shell loop location on the Avery better but...

Looking for one of the .45/70 double guns (SXS) from Baikal sold by both Remington as the Spartan line and EAA. Let me know....thanks

Hey all- It sounds like the family is going to Phoenix area over spring break march 10-17. Besides coyotes, is there any hunting at all going on at that time? I hate to spend all my time in the city...

Like most, I just usually wear my regular RayBans when I hunt. But as I'm getting a bit older, being able to identify gender of a bird in the air is getting tougher, especially in brighter sunlight at bad angles. Any suggestions if there is something to improve things? Yellow, amber...

So I was hunting bears in Hamilton recently, and there were quail running around in town. What were they and were they supposed to be there? They had topknots like Gambels, etc...

A couple years ago I went to an Ryman Setter after my Lab passed on. I love to hunt late season, sometimes single digits and wind. This was no problem with my Labrador, but Sally is a whole lot thinner of body and coat. When we are in teh elements we are moving- no standing still to get cold...

I grew up in NW Iowa where there just werent any quail. Ive bumped a coule coveys in the past by accident hunting farther south and shot a bird or two, but they were so few and far between I never considered going after them exclusively or figured I'd ever see them again. I was right. This...

We finally have bird season here and get a great opening day. My English Setter, Sally, was just on fire opening day. We hit public ground and have kept the private contacts in reserve. I took a work schedule that gives me every Friday off for three day weekends. Even bought extra shells. And...

I think folks need to calm down in regards to the roadside counts. One of teh MAJOR factors was dew conditions making this years count more effective than the last couple super dry August counts. I have seen it referred to as "biologically impossible" for hens to produce those increases. We...

http://county10.com/2014/10/02/gf-sage-grouse-numbers-improved-10-percent-year/ Hopefully enough to keep them from a listing. I love hunting those birds. Just wish they were more.....edible.

Man, I've hunted the bombers for around 15 years or so, and this was the toughest go I've had in a good 10. All the old spots just plain didn't hold birds and I was skunked on the first few days altogether. I was concerned I did not see the amount of sign I'm used to as well. I was expecting...
