    South central

    Habitat is great, maybe too good. Walking is difficult with the thickness of the cover. I have seen quail at each place I've hunted, which is better than usual. I don't feel like pheasant numbers have really risen over the last couple years which have been better but not good compared to other...

    20 guage auto?

    Do they make that much difference? It's something I've thought about, but my current sticks knock em down if I do my part.

    How many birds do you shoot in a season?

    Back to the yearly numbers. I got 31 phez year before last. I hope to pass that with ease this year with my travelling. I'm at 10 pheasants so far with my good trip coming next weekend.

    How many birds do you shoot in a season?

    ^^This. Once the game is to your residence and processed it should be the same as any other food, not saying that's the law in you particular state but I feel it should be. Big Brother isn't regulating food storage...yet.

    Cold weather

    A shovel and other "get me unstuck" things. I have found a 4-6' 2x4 to be extremely handy to have, it takes almost no space and makes a great lever, shovel, wheel chock, shovel all kinds of functions in a pinch and if you have any MacGyver in you.

    Come on, no hero opener day pics posted yet???

    What about the guinea fowl poking its head out behind the fan. Did you call that in too Goose, to your back door.

    Hanging birds

    I most always hang my birds(pheasant) from the head, I have an attached porch that isn't heated so if/when its cold outside they stay above freezing, but barely. I usually hang 3-5 days and clean them when convenient(or I feel like it). I did have one hang for over a week with no ill affects. It...

    SW ND: Lots Of Corn & Seeds Still Up

    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.

    Sportdog brand sdt00-17110

    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...

    I need help with spots for our trip

    Just depends on what ditch they come from.

    Just made reservations

    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.

    Do we need to get away from plastic ?

    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...

    2025 season reports

    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.

    Iowa hunters, how was your opener?

    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.

    Iowa hunters, how was your opener?

    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.
