Jameson Parker of Simon and Simon fame(also a noted bird dog enthusiast)tells a story where he and his dog were invited to a big fancy shoot to retrieve and caught his dog sneaking into the next shooters pile and bringing them to his pile. “You want birds? I’ll bring you birds”. Datus Proper

The Kuiu and Final Rise have roughly the same water bottle set up. I always threw a bottle in the game pouch

Pouch a Red Man bout all ya need.

The Shady Lady will stand chest deep getting a drink of water with snow on.

Hoping on Michigan for grouse, missed it last year. I have to go opening weekend or not at all. I’ll be back in SD after crops are in. I plan on drifting with the wind, hunt here, move on, hunt there.

Hunting is the foundation of civilization. When you work together…you get more game and tales told round the fire with a full belly.

Never hurts to spend money with the locals. They know some things

Big thumbs up to Zatarains Jambalaya, Red beans and rice, etc.. Super easy prep, super good, great with Phez. and cottage cheese. I cut up phez and throw straight into the pot and cook all at once. 2 boxes, tub of cottage cheese will feed 6 hungry men. Any leftovers get mixed with scrambled...

We boys was running the creek in the summer and I shot a rooster around 100 yds away with a Mossberg 151m 22 open sights. Great shot bad decision.

As above, lots of little towns, lots of public hunting. You can cold roll in east SoDak and have a ball.

Multi floral rose stems/locust tree branch placed where you don’t want digging.

Not a lot of birds here in Ohio. I’ve hunted smaller coverts and let the first rooster I see fly on. Nobody wants to shoot the last one. Two or three times it’s paid off, I didn’t see any others and felt real good about myself. My Shady lady was less than enthused.

Doesn’t seem like enough? Underweight? If at a healthy weight all is well
