    Snowshoeing for pheasants?

    I'll stick to the snowshoe question. I have a pair with my upland gear.. It can save a lot of sweat and soaked clothes getting to "off road" sloughs when the snow is deep. I would suggest "BOA" lacing snowshoes. Super easy to get on and off once you get to the slough. I have been stuck in...

    Midwest Pheasant Harvest - 24 Seasons

    Its interesting how the numbers have jumped the last few years. Just about the time ACE was a year old. HMMMMMMM?

    Uninsulated Boots??

    They are considered non insulated but have lining for waterproofing. They are my winter boot pairs with a super light wicking sock and a knee high, thin, cross country ski sock to keep the calves warm. They are far too warm for hunting before the snow flys for me however so I do have a...

    2023/2024 Pheasant Hunting Videos

    I agree with the additional voice editing comments and along those same lines, for me at least, the more DIY it is, the more I feel a part of it. I think Golden Hour's videos are so popular because it allows you to JOIN in on the hunt. It feels like I am there. No music, drone shots, or...

    The most Beautiful Bird Hunting Boot ever

    I too have a 15 year old pair that still gets heavy use until there is snow on the ground. Mine have payed for themselves twice over easily but they were $400 back then. They made a quality product and stuck by it. The company has been purchased from the long time family owners and no longer...

    2023/2024 Pheasant Hunting Videos

    Super enjoyable video. I commented on your YouTube page. Skye was awesome. For what its worth, may none of us ever lose the "rush" of a rooster flushing at our feet and cackling. I look forward to more vids next season with Roxy and Skye.

    First Bird Dog

    Congrats. ENJOY! I have my 9th pup coming in July and it is still crazy exciting. I'm gong to squirrel off in another direction in regards to indoor pups with motors, which is often most of them. I believe you can do A LOT right now to help your pup be a welcome house dog. I have an over...

    Losing confidence in dog

    I know dogs have "felt" my frustration during training at times (without correction) and have lost confidence because they didn't know what I wanted. They can sense our moods. It's important YOU enjoy the experience as well for the most part as year one is still elementary school for her. I...

    Sealing Tonneau Cover from Dust

    I've noticed without a spray in bed liner, my trucks leak dust. Plugged every opening I could with kits, stripping, and caulk.......I think its like mice...do what you can to deter it. I think you have done what you can. This doesn't answer your question but now I have everything in separate...

    Meat Handling on the Road

    Cleaned and cooled they last quit a while. I'm unusually home by day 5 or 6. I don't use water on them when I clean them however. I think that's more likely a situation for bacteria. If frozen and unthawed, it gets cooked or smoked, not refroze for me.

    First pheasant hunt for my son

    I second Remy's advice. 20 gauge pump and no worries about flinching. All my kids were done with it in a year but it was worth building up to the 12 gauge...or make he'll like sub gauge. I know at my conservation club (if you belong to one) you could find someone that has one they would let...

    Boss shotshells?

    For the gentleman who was asking about shot size. I shot Boss last year and liked their pattern at 30 yds in my modified choke 12 gauge. I shot 2 3/4 #5s but for me personally, hunting public land roosters with a flusher, I wish I had gone with #4s for the longer late season shots. I'll try...

    Pheasant Breakfast Burritos

    Nice. I'm a "light" breakfast eater in the summer but come hunting time at the motel, I like hardier and quick. Five straight days of oatmeal just got "scrambled" up! I like the thought of being able to keep it as "healthy" as you want as my sausage often crumbles without the "good stuff" to...
