Your right about that Bob. I posted on here at the start of the season I joined for the waterfowl but as a bonus was told I could pheasant hunt as well. I just wasn't sure how good the pheasant hunting would be or how much I could even walk to take advantage of it but having the option to...

I took a friend out to the waterfowl lease this morning to chase pheasants. We started out right at 8 am in one of the set aside fields. I had Kepa and my friend had his female black lab Charlie. The dogs got birdy right away and put up a couple of hens in the first 30 or so yards. Then up came...

Solid outing and nice shooting!!! I should have followed suit. I worked this morning cleaning up the desk with the thought of hitting it tomorrow. With the forecasted rain tomorrow I think I will pass though. Congrats and Merry Christmas!!!

The ignore feature is useful at times.

Wild, from our family's century farm. There are no game farms in our area.

Kenny took Harry out this past weekend and was able to harvest a very unique looking rooster. Harry pointed him and Kenny made the shot. After the hunt Kenny swung by the taxidermist and dropped this one off for a mount.

Update on Harry!!! I was able to get Harry out and hunt behind him for a bit. My son Kenny who owns Harry has been steadily hunting him for ducks and pheasants and has been telling me Harry has been doing really well. Kenny works for the railroad and his days off don’t often align with mine. So...

Found on the internet, so it must be true. In Iowa, road hunting is allowed, but guns must be unloaded and cased in a vehicle unless the gun owner has a permit to carry a concealed firearm.

I took Kepa for an afternoon hunt on the waterfowl lease today. But our hunt was cut way short after a 15 minute walk. We started out on a nice strip of CRP that ran towards a disc’d corn field. Half way through a rooster got up just out of range and the closer to the end hens and roosters were...

Hello All, glad to read most everybody is getting into roosters this season. My foot problems are lingering so I haven’t been out for true pheasant hunt yet. With my foot issues in mind when I was offered a chance to join a waterfowl lease this season I took it. The less walking the better for...

I run into partridge a couple times each season, it's almost always in a wide open field when I am crossing a field from one piece of cover to another. It's rare that I ever see them in cover or in a ditch.

Hey all, Kevin here from Sioux City, a few of you may remember my hunt updates a couple seasons back with Kepa my female yellow lab (now 4 yrs old). Kepa is doing great and even spent a little time with a trainer this spring working on her retrieval hold. As some of you may remember last...

So sorry to hear this, a little over a month ago our male was diagnosed with cancer in his spleen and like your labs diagnosis a couple of weeks were given as a time line. 4 or 5 days after he was so weak he wouldn't eat and could barely wag his tail (which was usually thumping) we made the...

Thanks for updating Kismet!!! It reminds me that I too can give an update. My situation is not nearly as severe as yours, I wish you a speedy and full recovery!!! My leg / knee / foot issues were apparently the result of planter fasciitis. Now that I have it under control and have special...

WKSBH, My lab Kepa's sire is Raiders Risky Rico By Holzinger, son of Rik's Risky Raider (the yellow lab in the pic you posted) so your post interested me. What I don't get though is the need to "piss" on other dog's in any post.
