    This jumbled up thread was caused by me. I gave my opinion on something that wasn't my business. The OP did nothing wrong. I sent him a pm apologizing and I deleted my original comments. The OP was gracious enough to pm me back when he didn't have to. Lesson here is to 1. mind my own...

    What would your favorite “bonus bird” be while pheasant hunting?

    Shot my first woodcock while out pheasant hunting this year. And a late season dove come to think of it.

    Gifts for hunters

    How about a white lightning inspired wallet by Browning?

    I apologize as well. I probably got a bit too emotional before knowing the situation and even after knowing, it's none of my business. I'm a dog lover and just want what's best for our 4 legged companions, even if they are not my responsibility. Also sorry if I offended. I enjoy this place...

    Got ominous news from the vet.

    Sorry to hear this. I hope you get encouraging news.

    Switch guns throughout the season or stick with one primary firearm? How do you determine which one to take?

    During your typical season for pheasants, do you guys tend to hunt with one firearm or do you switch it up throughout the season and hunt with multiple brands/makes/models/gauges? If you do switch it up, has it made a difference in your success rate (birds in the bag, number of cripples, etc.)...

    Starter pistol/blank pistol

    You can get bulk shotgun shells with 209 primers. The primer is a lot quieter than a starter pistol. I start my puppies with the 209 primed shell then move up from there.

    Best Roto Molded Kennel

    My griff is 50 lbs and I use a momarsh cot in the kennel and she fits in there perfectly. The Cabelas kennel tapers from the bottom to the top which is essential for getting the kennel in the back of my truck behind the passenger seat. I would definitely buy the kennel again. I believe...

    Thoughts on the season and the gear we use

    Interesting post. I had very similar results this year as well. Started off with the 20 and the 16...ended with the 12 and my bird in bag ratio increased dramatically. I ended the season using a Browning Maxus II Black Gold and have been on the hunt for a 12 gauge O/U myself.

    What 12 gauge do you speak of?

    Anyone give up another form of hunting all together to just hunt birds instead?

    I used to have access to really good private land and if I hadn't lost it, I probably would still hunt deer. However, I've been trying to put a square peg in a round hole for years. Due to my work schedule, I just couldn't get out to the woods in time when I started to hunt public land. I...

    Anyone give up another form of hunting all together to just hunt birds instead?

    I post a lot on a local WI site. It's called Lake Link. Its really a fishing site but there is a trading post/classified section that I use. I have collected and sold guns my entire adult life and I have built up a number of guys who are repeat customers. I also had a good friend who is now...

    Anyone give up another form of hunting all together to just hunt birds instead?

    Well, I did it. I sold all my deer hunting rifles, my crossbow, all my stands, my sticks, all my saddle gear. I have one bow left to sell, some clothing, and a few odds and ends. I officially only hunt birds. It will be weird not looking at the deer hunting ads, flyers, and sales anymore...

    2025 WI Pheasant Thread

    It took forever to get my driveway blown out, especially after the plow came through. I haven't seen this much snow in November in WI since I was a kid.
