how's the quail hunting Ben?

We had one day on our trip where we killed late hatched birds. So either 1st nest destroyed or 2nd successful clutch. But had some about the size of a ruffed grouse and in a few cases smaller. Hint of red and cackle on flush. Youngest/smallest birds to date on my hunts and I was middle November.

Ben, my son bought a Pyke this year and really seems to like it. I still have my original cabelas strap vest that I use. Easily holds three roosters and is light weight. It does lack pouches for water so I just put them in my game bag as 99% of my water goes to the dogs. I have been holding...

When I was growing up in Northern Indiana, it was on a sizeable lake. Back then the CO's had the old jeep cherokee's and they would park on the shore and start walking out. When would see the slow down to park some of our group would pick up and started walking the other direction as if we...

I'm not a big sour cream fan so I let my wife decide how much to use, i'm guessing we used about 12 oz of cream cheese. Midway through we did add some chicken stock and more sherry to mixture to help try and tenderize the meat. She like the flavor but meat was over cooked.

I agree with the latter if at all.

Yeah will be a work in progress. Browning I think is a fine art. I will treat like sushi or tuna lightly seared, then add to Dutch oven. Again flavors were outstanding. Freezing my first batch, but will fine tone.

Agreed 100%, you could tell the better meat then that over cooked. I will try with skinless chicken breast and thighs to fine tune and not waste the pheasant. Great flavors just need to finesse the pheasant meat. Thanks BB

Here is my attempt at BB pheasant dish. I did chicken broth for the rice instead of water. We used maybe 12 Oz of sour cream. We did add some broth and sherry midway thru the cook. I think I over browned the breast chunks, but legs were spot on. I think you could up the garlic. I wonder...

I run the 300, tt25 and garmin instinct solar and my watch will vibrate. I generally turn my watch so the face is on the underside of my wrist so it is easier to see, well at least for me.

That is good morning in the fields, well done to you and Maggs!

Following dogs whether mine or others, prefer mine, in the woods or prairies brings me tremendous joy and allows me to recharge my batteries so go speak. I enjoy all my trips about the country pursuing birds as each trip seems to always provide a memory that stays with me. This passion started...

Good luck and looking forward to your report!

I have had females all my life. Like many of said they can be smaller then males but again it depends on the genetics. I couple of my buddies i hunt with have males and I don't see a difference in endurance or drive. I think females tend to less hard headed and more biddable for the owner. I...

I have yet to be checked out of state bird hunting. Do get occasionally checked in Michigan. Working for the DNR I know the local CO's pretty well and when i am check it is just a conversation.
