    Neat souvenir from the SD trip

    Last week I stopped at DakotaMart in Pierre to pick myself up an adult beverage. I was looking at whiskey and I see that Jack Daniels had a special bottle out. The "Gentleman Jack" bottle has an embossed pheasant and "South Dakota Pheasant Hunt 2013" on the front of the bottle. The bottles...

I've never hunted South Dakota and I'm here with a just 3yr old golden who was taught to work close. Driving in from worthington mn where I stayed last night...

    RE: Bird numbers...this might seem like a dumb question...but...

    RE: Bird numbers...this might seem like a dumb question...but... A lot of what I've heard and read is attributing down bird numbers to the harsh drought that occurred last year. Obviously nesting conditions play into it heavily as well, but if drought conditions were that bad, wouldn't it make...

    Got my woodcock mount back

    I've always thought woodcock were cool looking birds. Opening day of the Wisconsin pheasant season this past fall my younger pup put this bird up. It's mature, the colors are nice and the beak isn't shot up or broken so I decided to have it done. They are apparently one of the more difficult...

    Wisconsin Hunt Clubs

    Thought I'd start a new thread where we can post our experiences at hunt clubs in Wisconsin. This past Friday I had off work so decided to try to find a place that might have still had some birds left. I don't belong to a club, but will try places from time to time that offer by-the-bird daily...

    Thinking about a fall 2013 trip to Ft. Pierre National Grasslands, any tips/thoughts?

    Ok, so I've been thinking about doing it for a while. I've never hunted anywhere around there and this would be a 10+ hour drive for me, but I'm interested in what I've seen and heard so far. Even the opportunity to potentially harvest pheasants, sharptail grouse, and prairie chickens from the...

    1 year old Golden - strange story

    I have two goldens, one that is 6 and one that just turned 1 year old. I've spent a lot of time working with the young one with quail, chukar, and pheasants. About a week ago, I had the young one out on her first hunt by herself (without the experienced 6 year old along). The young one did...
