I was south of Mott a couple weeks ago and there were birds all over. The farmer where I was hunting said that the pheasant numbers were really good, that's what I found too.

You mean cut the slack like trim the edge for use with a smaller dog? Are you sure the collar strap doesn't just wind around the edge of the device? All of the e-collars I have seen the collar strap is removable/replaceable. The antenna if they have one is also clearly visible and not part of...

Just depends on what ditch they come from.

I'm not an older guy, but I totally get what you're saying. I love hunting the same area with the same group for the past 8ish years. But if its just me, once I figure out the birds/region I love discovering new areas.

That's a great question. I'd be curious what the actual environmental impact is. Obviously they are unsightly, but is that the extent of their impact? Did the paper hulls have a performance limitation or was the switch just made for cost/manufacturing ease? I don't know if we have any ammo...

Great looking dog, well except he doesn't have any battlescars yet. He'll grow into those. Wait until he brings back a running cripple, not much can match that feeling.

6 of the 8 hens were sitting in the shade of 10-15ft cedars 1:30 in the afternoon. It was a bit warm so it made sense, but I've never seen them up under the trees like that.

I wasn't able to get out yesterday and today I hunted south instead of north. I flushed 8 hens in the afternoon and never saw a rooster. My favorite spots are on the other side of Lake Red Rock and the bridge is closed for construction.

Every picture with the shotgun Honey is looking away, the one without that abomination (kidding) she almost looks at the camera.

Iowa DNR does a report. This year the report is really good, but even with the good "Iowa numbers" it still won't be the same as most of SD.

Sadly true, it's amazing how much that changes by the second weekend.

More birds in Minnesota anyway, stay home ;).

That is probably the hardest hit area of the state for hunters, with good reason. I have found it has higher amounts of public ground and higher bird counts, but also the most hunters being so close to the "great lakes" and all the hospitality. Plenty of our northern neighbors come visit too. I...

I'll be in that area Nov. 7th. I'll keep it in mind for sure. Thanks for the report. @McFarmer how is the harvest going, are the fields likely to be empty by then?

Glad I'm not the only one struggling. My dogs have enjoyed running them out of the sunflower fields, but that hasn't equaled shot opportunities. Is it just me or do they run more on these wet misty days?
