Interesting article about release pheasants and ticks https://bbc.com/news/articles/cvg9k4p2ddvo

I would be watching what happens with tariffs before planning a trip there. I was up there when the cattle was banned because of mad cow disease. There were farmers and ranchers refusing to let us hunt just because of the ban. We did get permission to hunted every day but it was a lot harder. If...

How can you make a comment like that went you weren't there. You didn't see the steepness of ditch or the width of the road. I do my best to stay out of the way of Landowners. My practices give me opportunities to hunt their land.

There was plenty room to get by with hay. I would of pull down in ditch if possible. I believe a combine with header could of gotten around me. In 12 years of hunting So. Dakota this second time I had landowner get mad at me. First time the landowner felt that owe him $200.00 dollars for bird...

No roads were dry. I saw him down the road about 1 1/2 miles away picking up hay. I could only picture how mad he would be if I were park in his approach then. I know it would be different story then.

He could of lost because got frozen in snow or ice.

I was hunting ditch next to harvest posted harvested corn field. I parked my vehicle where the wheels were just on the edge of the road. Any truck, tractor or farm equipment could get pass me. I was about 1/4 mile from my truck, when a rancher in truck pulling a flatbed trailer stop and ask me...

In 2001, Montana's Legislature revamped the state's Upland Game Bird Release Program. The program can reimburse landowners for raising and releasing pheasants in suitable habitats. The intent of the program is to establish new pheasant populations for public hunting. Projects on private land...

Goose you probably shot more then one. Montana has been releasing 10,000's pheasants every year since 2001. That where Utah got the idea from.

I believe you have to watch them carefully when they get over 10 years, each breed is different. My dog was 10 year setter old last year and was able to hunt all day long. In last 3 months he start to show his age. He'll go down steep bank to get water from a creek and can't get back up. this...

Kansas might be a better back-up plan according to weather. They should find quail while hunting pheasants.

I learned the hard way, running a flusher and pointer together. I had a chessie and setter. The chessie would watch for the setter to go on pointer and she would bolt in for the flush, it's hard to get a shot off when they are 50 yards out. Then the setter would being looking over his shoulder...

That's a question that has 1000 answers and none of them are wrong. All depends on, hunting pressure, crop harvest, weather, late or early season. Best thing do is start driving around at first light and locate birds in area that you can hunt and hunt the areas that look they would hold a bird...

The only change I would like to see, being able to pick 5 days in a 7 day period. My reasoning behind that is give dogs a rest day, maybe day driving and scouting a new area. Also in case you have major storm come through, you can sit out. Just my 2 cents.

My brother had English Pointer have them while hunting, vet told him it was cause by got low blood sugar. Had us give him protein bars while hunting, it seem to work dog live for 16 years.
