A golf ball will work too.

I think it's a good thing to encourage trapping, especially the youth aspect. Puts a little money in their pocket, gets them outdoors and introduces them to responsibility. I'm sure the idea is to take them by trapping or shooting them but hey, a dead skunk is a dead skunk. Doesn't matter if...

Sabatti. Looks like they started selling them around 2009. https://www.americanhunter.org/content/remington-premier-over-under/

I apologize for my apparently weak attempt at humor concerning matching Lab hair color to your wardrobe. I do know we vacuum up enough in a week to make a nice sweater.

I've had 2 chocolates. The first big male was so good that he was the foundation of the line my vet partner and I developed. He pointed, he retrieved, he handled. Incredible nose; did the old point another rooster in mid-retrieve with another rooster in his mouth. Just an awesome dog. I owned a...

Any season where I get out with my Labs and get some hours in the field is successful. If the team gets a bunch of birds in the bag, it's a fantastic season. This was a very, very good season.

It all depends on your desired wardrobe colors. If you are a black and gray wardrobe type of guy, get a black. If you tend toward the earth tones...khaki, tan, light browns, get a yellow. Dark browns? Get a chocolate. Follow me for more Labrador hair tips.

I think it's a percentage thing. Any state's population of hunters has some unknown percentage of the inconsiderate hunters. That percentage is likely about the same for all individual states IMO. I don't think any particular state is holier than thou in this aspect. Now of all Out of State...

In my experience personally and in my group, we shoot better on the front end of a 10 day license than on the back end. I think fatigue plays a role. When we are fresh on the scene and eager to start the season we focus in better and swing the shotguns better. After a week of tromping the...

With a bit of work, it's a do-able thing. If you can find a Browning Citori CXS Micro 20ga, it has 24" barrels. It's a "youth" gun with a 13" length of pull but was designed so that a full size stock can be installed. I don't think they're making it anymore so you'd have to find one. I...

Same for us. Also told to shoot any of the nest robbing types that we see

There are companies that make snake proof chaps and gaiters. I had some when I lived in Georgia. Double layer 1000 denier nylon below the knee. They were hot when worn. https://www.amazon.com/Rattler-rattlers-colsiz-Snake-Proof-Chaps/dp/B00542NIDA

AKP has the answer IMO. My group crockpots the legs and thighs with celery/onion/carrot/salt/pepper. Set it on high till it gets bubbling and then low until the meat easily pulls away. Drain it, easily remove bones/tendons/shot/etc. Use it in multiple ways. Makes great pheasant salad...

As the season goes on there's always more birds that have had previous hunter encounters and escaped with (as they said in the old movies).... just a flesh wound.

I think KS is an example of compensatory moving to additive. I understand why KS keeps the limit at 4 but IMO they are now in the additive zone with that limit due to habitat loss.

For the reasons mentioned, it doesn't make sense to close the season early at this point. Just not that many people out hunting now. I get the idea of the compensatory mortality thing. However....why then have a 3 rooster limit? Why not 4 or 5? A couple more shouldn't be additive right? I...
