I was looking at the Minnesota winter severity index, and as we roll through March, it's crazy to think about how mild this winter has been, especially after a mild winter last year too! The pheasants (and other wildlife) should really benefit from the mild weather over these past several...

Thinking of you over these next few days, gim. Cherish all of those memories through the years with that loyal hunting companion of yours.

Finally get a chance to get out there today! Been so busy with kids activities, school, etc. Going to be in the low 40s today, and with all the melting, hopefully we can find some in the grass. Roads look really slick right now, so we’ll get out there when those conditions improve. Should be a...

Amen, gim! Nothing like exploring new spots and trying new areas!

I went out this morning and part of the afternoon today in west central MN before heading home, and three of us each got one bird apiece, although with some better shooting, we would have had our limits. Dang, some of that shooting display was downright embarrassing! Anyway, we saw a TON of hens...

We’re looking at 76 where we hunt. Might be just a morning hunt for us.

Next weekend! Looks like very warm temperatures in the forecast, and every time I check, it looks like the wind keeps picking up too.

I know this has probably been discussed on here at some point, but just curious what everyone’s favorite pheasant shells would be? What is the best out there, in your opinion?

2 weeks to go - we’re almost there

Just a few weeks left until the opener - how is everyone feeling about the season? Personally, I am very optimistic. I am hearing good reports of lots of birds from where we hunt in SW Minnesota, so that is great. Will still be a lot of crops in the ground for the opener, but that’s OK, and once...
