Hunted WC yesterday afternoon to sunset. Completely calm. First private area, small slough with canary grass, put up 6 hens holding tight. No roosters. Hunted public the rest of the afternoon. Really nice areas - alder thickets, cattails, knocked down trees and brushy areas. Cut corn adjacent...

She is all business in the field. As I was snapping this pic, a rooster cackled not 50 yards from the truck. Needless to say, it got her attention.

Yeah - I grew up in western MN, headed back there for the holidays. Looking forward to getting a few days in the field. This was my third IA trip this year. The first two were really productive. Oddly, south-central was the best. First week in Nov, had a limit in one hour, one field. Mid-day...

Corn is king, but milo is money. 💰

I had the 550+, which Garmin ultimately took back and exchanged for an Alpha 100. The 550+ GPS location was unreliable at best. Garmin replaced three separate 550 handhelds. Inaccurate readings and “not finding north” were routine. Tried hard software reinstalls, calibration, etc. The last unit...
