…and only 4 replies. We hunters are such an apathetic and lazy bunch….

Yes, it’s unbelievable. But, hunters are pretty apathetic. That is why we are losing. I live in Colorado and the influx of people from California who bring their politics with them is staggering. They don’t make the connection between why they are leaving and how they voted in the past. I am in...

If we do not win this battle in Colorado in November, this WILL spread. If you can, please help out and help us fight this battle and WIN!! https://savethehuntcolorado.com/colorado-initiative-91/

I hope we don’t let this pass so please vote and keep wildlife management away from the ballot box! Together we stand, divided we will fall… https://savethehuntcolorado.com/colorado-initiative-91/

TennesseeTraveler, just a biologist’s pet peeve…singular = “Canada goose”, plural = “Canada geese”. ‘Canadian’ goose is not correct…again, just a pet peeve and point of education, not criticism.

Check out High Plains Gear vest. I really like mine and it is light, comfortable, looks and feels durable. Developed by a bird hunter, American made, and molle system. I put two water bottle holders on mine and a small 8” x 5” molle pouch on the back of the game bag which holds my keys...

Hunted out east last Sunday - on snowshoes. No luck but flushed two hens…

I’m going to try these last two weekends, but it’s been a tough and frustrating season in Colorado for me. I have also hunted SW Nebraska several times as well with good success on sharptails but not much at all for pheasants. Still, it’s fun to go out and watch my dog work!!

Nice job for a young dog - very nice to see!!

You’re welcome! The closer you get to Kansas/Nebraska the better things are generally - and in most years. Good luck and have fun!

Sounds like two immature (this year’s hatch) roosters hanging out with a mature rooster. I always marvel at the colors on a mature rooster pheasant!

OriginalOscar, Colorado pheasant hunting can vary dramatically from year to year depending on weather/moisture. So far so good this year over most of the pheasant range. If you look at drought maps eastern Colorado is in fairly good shape this year, which means there was moisture for nesting...

"Think it might..." Not 'This no...'

I have a Labrador, she will be 10 in June. She had one removed in May 2019. Common for them to come back; hers did and had it removed again (same spot) almost a year to the day in May 2020. This no it might be coming back again. Anyone else dealt with this issue? Good thing is they do not...

Beretta A300 Outlander is a great autoloader for the money. Walnut, synthetic, camo synthetic. After 40+ years of shooting shotguns with the safety in the back of the trigger guard of on the tang, it didn't take long at all to get used to the safety in front of the trigger guard. But it is a bit...
