So I've hunted the McKelvie quite a bit, and just have a hankering for some new ground. And I've never shot a chicken, just sharpies. On my way to Wyoming I was thinking of starting in Burwell/Calamus as my wife has some family there, and angling up in a zigzag manner to wards Chadron over a...

But when it gets cold and people have those pesky jobs..... Anybody up for a roadtrip from Grimes tomorrow?

When you buy your MT license it of course asks for a number of things. I thought it odd they asked occupation, so I answered what I thought appropriately as it was none of their business. Didn't think it would print on the license. NINJA will print on your bird license..... I hope your...

Ok, fellas. Everyone I talk to in Montana FWP is saying there are no birds when they hunt, when someone will talk on the phone to you. I can't tell if they just don't know or don't want to help. Either way FWP ain't helping. Whats the field assessment especially region 5 and 7?

I'm going to be in MT the first week of pheasant season from Iowa. Since such things aren't available in Iowa and I spend a fair amount of time west, while I'm there are there any services that do the snake breaking? Thanks

Finally the maps are in! A couple buddies and I are coming to explore birds in October, for about a week. Probably splitting time between these 2 towns as they look to have full services. Any recommendations for motels that are dog friendly? Any other towns we should be considering? Thanks...

Some friends and I have an itch to try new ground for a change. Not asking for secrets here, but if you were to point a guy in a direction in mt for Huns grouse and phez- where would be your suggestion to start?

Have dog will travel. In a turn of events I have some time this week. Been hunting alone for awhile and need a "pivot man". If anyone wants to join in PM me, Probably striking for new territory or public.

I guess I didn't have enough headaches. I picked up an older Navy Arms Italian imported percussion 12 guage, finish shot, mechanics and bore good. The only data I can find is the old "equal volume powder/shot" rule. Except I want to use up some pyrodex and then use the same 777 I keep for the...

Is anyone aware of any clubs etc, in or near Iowa that does snake breaking sessions? I hunt alot out west and have a 1yr old setter I'd really like to not get snakebit. A side note for those with experience in it- would 'any' snake achieve the results or do you want to make sure they get a...

So if a guy were going out and didn't know what might come up- how does everybody load and choke for a combo hunt of both species?

Somewhat off topic- but reviewing what is in the truck for vehicular emergencies and need some PRACTICAL input. What do you guys keep in the truck for those week long expeditions down 2 tracks and long highway jaunts to get there? What minimums on tools, etc? Fence stretchers, any other good...

In Iowa at least, the hillsides are largely terraced, with jack squat growing on them. It would seem if there was cover on them it could only help wildlife. I can't say I ever see farmers knock anything down or mow it, just nothing seems to grow there. Why is that? Is it the moisture...

I've got a real struggle and need some input. My first hunting dog is nearing the end of her run. She is a soon to be 12 year old labrador who has incredible heart, but heart is about all shes got left. Physically she can't keep up with her will. So it is time for a new dog, which presents...

So where in Iowa is everyone from and where do you hunt? I live in Grimes, grew up in Storm Lake, hunt mostly from Storm Lake to Rockwell City area on family ground, around a friends place around Shenadoah, and deer hunt in Decatur County.

Its looking like we're finally getting a season fellas!

So to get my 6 and 9 year old girls out of my hair I show them the cardboard overshot cards I am using for shotshell reloads. I tell them they can draw what they wish on them as long as it encompassed a "7". I know have a box of 1oz 20g #7 shot festooned with stick figure deer, flowers, bees...

Hey fellas- I've hunted central WY for alot of years now and looking to branch out- any suggestions for sharptails or partridge in the state?

I've been lurking on the site for awhile and there seems to be alot of great folks here. I grew up in and reside in Iowa, and have hunted upland game in NE, SD, and WY. Pheasants are my favorite game bird, but I really enjoy sharptail and sage grouse hunting out west. I spend a solid week in...
