    Hand signals

    Xtra wide well traveled gravel during harvest there's lots of semis w/hopper trailers. I don't expect a big rig like that to jam on the jakes and pedal down drum breaks, so give a wide berth, to that truck of large girth.

    Skye almost caught a pheasant

    Things happen quick in real time. The freeze frames show the truth! The sad part is I swung to my left, shot, he wobbled hard, lost altitude, but righted himself and flew far far away. The happy part is I went three shells for three pheasants the rest of the day.

    Hand signals

    My buddy has always used the two fingers wiggling to signal that his dog is on one and the rooster is running. Sometimes he does it at the end of a chase to show the bird has run off. I hear you about dogs on gravel roads bb. My first thing is if I hear or see a vehicle I always call the dogs...

    Here's what I'm planning for Pheasant Fest

    Try on a bunch of stuff. Extra crispy 🥓 boots, an initial rise vest, hopefully they've got some selection of upland pants, I need some for late season. If I see the federal guy I'll ask how the irregular shaped pellets in savanna squall shells are supposed to be more better. If governor Kristi...

    Game warden checks?

    Always been curious how this works. I asked two different game wardens about it. I was told they can't give a ticket for trespassing unless the owner or lessee complains and wants charges.

    Season Assessment

    Dixieman it would be interesting to hear from the landowners where you hunted how it went later in the season. I do appreciate your honest report and good luck in your future endeavors. I lived in North Georgia for 3 years, beautiful state.

    Season Assessment

    Dixieman I didn't hunt north Dakota this year, but I know a very good hunter who took a trip to the same general area as you. He said the sharptail and partridge hunting was absolutely terrible, and he's been going for years just like you.

    Season Assessment

    So I listened to a little bit of the rooster road trip podcast yesterday. They hunted Kansas for 5 days I think. They never bagged a rooster and ended up focusing on quail. Sounds like a sad state of affairs in Kansas.

    Benelli Banger's Crowd Pleaser Pheasant and Wild Rice

    Yeah I think when you brown the meat 🍖 a sear is all you need, everything will cook in the oven. It is nice on the stove top when browning to add S and P plus other herbs and spices. I do this often with pheasant chili. I suppose if it's more like soup/stew it doesn't matter as much, meat will...

    TSS #9 shot….

    When I saw some tss shells at a high velocity I really scratched my head. Why send pellets that are so dense at such a high speed as they'll retain energy much better than an inferior metal like steel? Then someone told me the purpose is to open up the pattern, which makes sense. One thing...
