    Bug Bites

    Hmmm, maybe it wasn't bed bugs based on where you said you got them. Weird.

    Are you better at sporting clays or wild birds?

    With clays you kind of know it's coming. With roosters, you don't always know that. Try ruffed grouse hunting. Roosters are like shooting beach balls by comparison.

    Bug Bites

    I'd be surprised if it was from insects in the field. Bed bugs would be my guess. No way I would even consider hunting in those temps. Best to avoid that cheap motel again too.

    Copper Shot?

    I used copper-plated shells. I don't know if that's the same as "copper shot." They are made by federal. Wing Shok

    The flush

    Yes it is. I see it on occasion but I don't make a point of watching it. Travis Frank is also the co-host of Due North Outdoors, which is kind of a spin off of Minnesota Bound. Travis is about 4 and a half feet tall in person lol. He is a shrimp

    4th weekend of season and the temps are warmer than a typical opening day here.

    2025 season reports

    I have been deer hunting for 6 days now and seen quite a few pheasants. Every morning when the day starts, the countryside is an orchestra of rooster cackles. A bunch of corn has been combined in the area this week too. I am hoping to bird hunt a day next week, if my dog is up for it. The...

    Increasing Dog’s Energy Level

    This. If there are no birds, they lose interest. I've never encountered this while pheasant hunting, but I did a couple times while waterfowl hunting. The dog loses interest if birds aren't part of the equation regularly.
