    Road conditions

    Road conditions

    Jet we went out last weekend. My son said let’s take the side by sides in case the roads are bad. Best decision ever. We hunted all the ground we had permission for. A landowner stopped us and thanked us for using our sxs and not tearing up the roads. Let us hunt an 80 of his below his feed lot...

I like being able to adjust a little or a lot depending on loads for a good pattern. I have modified several choke...

    transporting a pheasant

    I clean mine at lunch and every evening of the hunt. Cooler full of ice, drain water off and re ice daily. I fill a bucket up with ice in the morning for the noon cleaning and let them slosh around in the ice water until I get back to the motel. Just the way my dad did it so I do it that way.

    Rader lodge is a great bunch. You wouldn’t be disappointed with them in my opinion. I understand stand what you mean on the learning. Sometimes it comes down to time restraints. Good luck with whatever you decide.

    Kansas Trespassing Fee for Private Land

    Not being a smart ass on this so bear with me. You say that Kansas has lost about half its hunters in the last 30 years. On those numbers am I figured in as a lost hunter to Kansas since I have moved to Missouri? So in the numbers if Kansas lost 1 then Missouri should have gained one. I don’t...

    Maybe I can get back next fall and at least drive around and remember running around up there with dad. What would be awesome is to meet up out west with you and Glenn for a couple days. Now I am just dreaming.
