    Garmin Alpha 300 Lanyard

    I have a GearKeeper retractable clip. Keeps things tight to the body to avoid snagging when hunting but always handy to access when needed.

    Might be a bismuth shortage.

    I'd be willing to purchase a few pellets, but due to added freight is mine to meet for a pick-up. If you will drop me a pin location at your favorite hunting spot, I'll come get them. Let me know what works in your schedule! 🤣 I'm still looking for the darn sarcasm emoji....

    Pheasants Forever Banquet Ideas

    We try to always have 1 or 2 guns that most would want to own, but wouldn't spend their own money on it. The best example of this was the year for our "door prize" drawing, we gave away a Charles Daly Triple Crown. There is no way I would want to ever carry it in the field, but I would love to...

    Pheasants Forever Banquet Ideas

    You should have told them to auction it off and you would split 50/50 of whatever it brought at the auction. I'd rather have cash in my pocket than a gun I don't want.

    2024 gear review...what worked and what didn't?

    It came with 2 batteries, but not long. Maybe 45 minutes of total recording time each battery??? If it's cold, it is less. I see they make a large battery adapter, but I haven't look into it much because it's voice activated. If my dog gets "birdie", I can say "go pro on" when the action stops...

    2024 gear review...what worked and what didn't?

    GoPro Hero 11 was a good addition to my "things I really don't need", but I enjoyed videoing a few solo hunts to share with close friends and family. What it is capable of is amazing. Within the editng feature, you can take still images by selecting frame-by-frame pictures off of the video. It...

    Shooting Woes - Help Needed

    This straw tip is great. I coach our high school trap team and it's so hard to see what the kids see. This may help with some of that.

    Goodbye '24-'25 Non-Season

    Today was a great last day of the season. We started hunting at 10:15, and got skunked on our first spot. Not even a hen. The 2nd and 3rd spots were both disappointing and only shot 1 bird. Determined quickly as the temperature continued to rise, the birds were not in CRP next to grain. The next...

    Goodbye '24-'25 Non-Season

    I hate to hear this. This was the best year of hunting I've had in at least 6 years, maybe longer. I don't take my connections and private land access for granted, but I shot 10-15 birds on public land alone. It's tough for an outside guy to get permission but I know lots of landowners that...

    Shooting Woes - Help Needed

    The hope you don't mind some viewer feedback. Please don't interpret that I am a better shooter or I don't ever get the "yips", because I do and I have to remember to go back to the fundamentals. From what I see in your video is you led one bird too far and another you shot behind it. The last...

    2024 gear review...what worked and what didn't?

    Worked well - 3" 20ga Prairie Storm - had very few crippled or lost birds Didn't work well - the "rear sight" on my shotgun wasn't always reliable

    What is the best pair of boots you ever owned for hunting pheasants?

    I had to go look at them to make sure I know what I have. You are correct, they're not Pronghorns. They are Frontier Extreme's. Sorry to be spitting out false information. Still good boots, and in my opinion, irreplaceable!

    Preferred Hunt Start Time

    You bring up a great point about allowing the sun to get up. Referencing back to wildcats post about "Things he's Learned", how do roosters always know how to fly in the sun??? Additionally, my opinion may also be skewed because I typically never have to drive more than a couple of miles from...

    Things I learned and Questions I have

    Surely the Warden would cut the "pack mule" some slack if he's ever hunted with a good retriever?!?

    What is the best pair of boots you ever owned for hunting pheasants?

    I also got a pair of Danner Pronghorn's purchased around that same time (either 2001-2002). I didn't hunt near as much from then until 2010, but since then I have put a lot of miles on them and they are very comfortable. They are still the only hunting birds I own. I sent them back to Danner...
