That doesn’t surprise me. Some of the best ground in the Midwest there and lots of money around that area. They won’t be making any more ground. What’s here is all there is. I see prices going up even further.

Shooting hours end at 4:30 in Iowa. I was there recently and no joke….4:33 two roosters flew into the public hunting property from a private field within a few feet of my vehicle. Nothing was pushing them in the other property. It was a corn field. They are intelligent and they learn patterns. I...

Very sorry for your loss. I don’t reload so I can’t help you there. Glad you and your family are OK. Thoughts, prayers, and well wishes your way.

What choke are you using? I just bought a Franchi Affinity 3. Yardage is hard to tell on the GoPro but roughly what is the edge of range on some of these shots? By the way enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing.

30 below wind chill in Indiana hunting old railroad right of ways in 2000. One side was blown shut so we used two vehicles and parked a mile apart and hunted one way and then leap frogged down the railroad. We did get a couple of birds if my memory serves me correctly. This is my friend and...

I totally agree. I really didn't care if I got a bird or not as long as he did. Seeing him smiling and happy made it worth everything.

Just sharing an update with everyone. A few guys sent some suggestions my way....thank you very much! We hunted a couple hours on the 26th on our drive in from Indiana, all day the 27th, and a couple hours on our way out on the 28th. My son has a short leave so a little bit of time hunting is...

Agree on only made in USA. I’ve tried them and they seem to be a choking hazard to a degree They get a large piece soft and pliable which they want to swallow. A large section doesn’t break down in the stomach and could block the bowel from what I’ve read. My dog swallowed a large piece as a...

Most of the ground beside a ditch is marginal anyway. Not to mention erosion over time. So if there were an incentive they may be interested. Great idea. The worst they can do is say no. They always worry about weeds and sometimes mow too short and at the wrong time of year. So that’s something...

One of my honey holes had many fence rows, a marsh, a ditch, cattails in a low area. Produced a lot of birds. All the fence rows are gone now except two even though the property is still in 7 sections of ownership. The low area has been tiled and farmed. The marsh has been bulldozed in...

I have 3 spots that have produced birds over the years. This year I’ve only seen one bird after going twice to all 3 spots more than a week apart. The birds I have seen are mature for the most part. I’m guessing a lot of chicks didn’t make it this year. Ditches are about all that are left with...

It’s lean in Indiana this year. At least on my areas where I have permission. I walked 10 miles today and go two birds at the end of the day. Benton County. There are birds around but nothing like normal. It’s never great in Indiana….you earn your birds. Marked difference this year.

Thank you! Will do!

Thank you very much!
