The other day I watched some ruffed grouse hunting videos. It's funny because it's the opposite, 90% of them did not have a dog. Overall they're not as good as pheasant videos because it's hard to see as well in the thick woods.

Nothing weird about that. Dr. Pepper time, best time to kill one.

Excellent point. I saw a magazine cover once with the guy holding an extended mag snow goose gun and the dog was pictured right in front of and below the muzzle. I thought, that's about the dumbest thing I've ever seen.

There's something magic about a turkey responding to your call. I tend to call a touch more than average, but once you lay eyes on that bird the calls should go away. Unless you're good on a mouth call with soft purrs. I've made a pile of oopsies turkey hunting. And that's how I've learned to...

I mainly been sitting in blinds lately because it's how my spot sets up. But I agree getting on a large piece and covering ground is more fun. And although I use a decoy, you'll notice that a lot of the best hunters do not. No reason to unless you're sitting on a large open field.

You know it buddy. And high brass magnums all day. Just think how smooth those old barrels will swing. I'm gonna start doing pushups today.

I'm thinkin' of toting a 10ga Ithaca hammer gun with 32" barrels next year.

Two years ago I had great hunting in iowa and got a limit 3 different times. This past season not so much. But I didn't get down often, spent more time in SD and MN. Every season is different for me.

I'll fill it out in the next week and let you know. I think they ask days hunted, harvest numbers satisfaction with cover and opportunities etc.

I love filling these out. If Kim sends me a third one I'm gonna consider us besties and see if I can go on the governor's hunt with her.

A guy on the podcast said a tip for late season, cold weather, and snow conditions. Focus more around beanfields this time of year as it makes for easier scratchin' vs. corn 🌽 or other crops. First time I heard that.

Because he shoots a 28 gauge.

East of Hilger.

I know that spot. Right outside Gregory.

I would be nervous hunting pheasants in the part of Montana near the mountains. I read in a book where the guys dog ran into a thick cattail bottom and a grizzly bear ran out the other side. Might have been John Barsness(sp).
