I questioned a rancher in N.D. once about how the birds out there survived the blizzards. He said the pheasants were the 1st to come to the cows and hay bales. Sharptails 2nd and the Huns last. He also said that the deer ruined some stacked round bales. lived on them for a while.

Yeah, it looks like everything above interstate 70 or 80 is out for me.

Yup. Bad snow and them and turkeys will be picken corn from the cow pies. Adds a different flavor to the meat though.

The only con to steady to wing and shot is that a cripple has a big head start. The other problem is it's difficult to maintain if you hunt with anyone whose dogs are not steady. And even if you do have a very solid dog that will honor other dogs retrieve. It's not going to get to many retrieves...

I still have my 1st pair of Meindle Ultralight's. Wore them yesterday. Still feel good but leak now if it's wet. I have another pair that I've worn a couple times to make sure there's no hot spots. I don't see them on their website, but they have Euro Lites that will be my next pair.

Grizz...

Yeah, I frigin knew it would happen. Got a trip planed for the week before Christmas. If it doesn't melt off which I bet, it won't. We all know what that means. There will be a hard crust on top. No way..

My 8-year-old has been on it almost 3 weeks twice a day. Hunted 2.5 hours day before yesterday. Still limps pretty bad afterwards. Fingers crossed.

A couple buddies and I were duck hunting when we see a couple hundred mallards on a slew across the river. We plotted and schemed until we came up with the bright Idea to cross it. Our local river isn't the Mississippi, but it is a couple hundred yards wide. When it's near flood levels as it was...

This one's not on that level but it reminded me of one. Coon hunting miles from the truck through heavy timber and brush. Walking pretty fast to see what my wire was fighting and rammed a stick in my good eye. I'm blind in one so I thought I was in trouble. I sat down on the ground and when I...

I've only have one 28, but I can't imagine one better than my Ugartechea. Maybe prettier, but not better. Mine doesn't have a model # on it but I think it's a model 30. mod and full.

Sound like a flashback. Were you in heavy combat? A hired assassin? Insurance salesman?

She's a beauty, DK??

Dude, you're 20, you're going to have several guns in every gauge!!:LOL:

I've had to many close calls to mention. I did a lot of stupid crap in my younger days. My wife doesn't think I'm all that smart now! Some that come to mind are, could have easily drowned twice, hopelessly lost in the Minnesota wilderness, blew an A.C.L. in the middle of the National forest.
