    Two dogs, two buddies strategy

    There’s no right answer. Whatever you do the birds will react differently each day. My Labs are flushers and will go out front and actively search for birds. We typically follow our dogs. Sometimes that means we stay close and sometimes that means we go in different directions and meet back up...

    Shooting style

    This! I’ve been hunting birds/rabbits since I was a little kid but being in Indiana we hunted deer a lot more. So most of my shooting was aiming AT an animal. So when I got serious about bird hunting a decade ago, I missed a LOT of birds. Took me several years to figure out I had trained myself...

    Meat handling while traveling

    They ARE good. Just the way you described…. No doubt. But most people don’t do that with chicken. By all means eat them they way you like them. I love to cook. So I branch out a little more

    I love his books as well. I’ve bought a couple and given them to my buddies. Now they actually eat their wild game

    Meat handling while traveling

    Braised? Slurry? I Love It! Someone who knows how to cook! Poppers is code word for I don’t know how to cook hahaha. I tell my hunting buddies you can do most anything with pheasants that you can do with chicken. Nobody makes chicken poppers

    Indiana hunting lottery

    2 years ago I got drawn for an 60 acre spot that was shaped like a football field and was surrounded by ag fields on all sides. I bet we saw 100 pheasants. Ive hunted wild pheasants in 6 states and I’ve never had a better hunt than that one

    Meat handling while traveling

    I agree with the aging and when I’m by myself thats how I do it. The rest of my buddies look at me like I just ate one raw when I tell them about aging them whole

    Meat handling while traveling

    Probably been covered before but I can’t find it... What do you all do with the birds that have a wing attached when traveling across state lines? Do you remove the wing when you get home before freezing? We typically keep them on ice till we get home (9-12 hours) sometimes I cut the wings off...

    RuffTuff Kennel + Mud River Cover + 2020 F150

    To be honest, i worry more about this when I’m hunting and leave dogs in the truck? But the thought has crossed my mind in town as well

    RuffTuff Kennel + Mud River Cover + 2020 F150

    I run a web ratchet strap thru the handles on the kennel or those rings and crank it as tight as I can without collapsing the kennel. In my mind, if an accident or whatever is serious enough that it breaks that loose….my poor dogs got pancaked anyway. Love the idea with the chain….seems like a...
