    Cold fingers alert, north central SD weekend of 1/18-1/19

    We will be heading out this weekend; the first 10 min in the walk is the cold part, after that, it seems I start to get blood moving in my fingers

    Uninsulated Boots??

    I'm going to bite the bullet on some schnees I've seen them 50% off; I'm done buying irish setters or danners, they last a couple of years then they lose the waterproof. I've only heard great things about schnees, kenetreks, and crispis, I just hope they last more than a few years as far as...

    Save the legs!

    Just wanted to throw a PSA out there about your pheasant legs, there is quality meat there. I've learned to only use legs that have not been shot up or busted up, as the bone fragments can be tricky to find after they cook. Lately, I've been throwing them all in a crockpot with a stock to...

    Truck caps

    for sure, I've had a truck that did not do this and it was a PITA to reach anything, might as well just have a Tahoe or Suburban at that point

    Gear Recommendations - Mid-December First Timer

    This; my danners are not waterproof anymore but switching socks out is all I do throughout the day. I plan on upgrading to some non-insulated Schnees after this season neoprene vest seem to cause more issues than worthwhile, chaffing being the biggest issue around the armpits

    the sweet 16 is on my list to own someday; i love the A5 12 gauge i currently own, only issue is i have to use bismuth for non-tox as it has a non-steel friendly barrel; bismuth is awesome, just spendy

    Deer Season is Upon Us

    no birds for me for 2 weeks; all deer, pumped to get in the northwoods. I have hunted pheasants 2nd weekend in the past before we started to stay at deer camp for the 2nd weekend and I did not see anyone out. Like others have said, if you see a vehicle or a guy on the private/public boundary in...

    Private land?

    some tips I picked up on knocking on doors, show up in 1 vehicle, send only 1 guy to the door, if the landowner wants to know who is hunting, by all means introduce your friends after, and if you get permission, be sure you get clear info on where you can hunt on the property. I've burned myself...

    Pointing concerns

    Thanks guys, that’s encouraging to hear. Mutthunt - too be honest, the NAVDHA NA training put a bad taste in my mouth, I wasn’t impressed. I learned training with chukars is a bad idea for a young pup when they only fly 40-50 yards- caused a chasing issue for a bit- fixed with some additional...

    Pointing concerns

    HI guys, I have a 3 year old Pudelpointer, first versatile dog I've owned. I was very impressed with her first 2 years hunting pheasants and how she would hold her point naturally. I was involved with NAVDHA the first year so we worked on various drills, the 2nd year she was just natural to it...
