Who makes the best side by side when comparing same priced guns from Grulla, Aya, Arrietta, Ugartechea, or any other maker you can think of? Are they all pretty much the same? It seems like most 12's are chambered in 2 3/4 in, but if you wanted to shoot 3 in steel would you pretty much have to...

Some new side by sides in the US market. One made by Dickinson and two by Webley and Scott. Anyone have any experience with these guns?

I'm seeing a lot of Toyota Tundra pickups lately. Anyone have one and how do you like it?

At what point will habitat fragmentation in Iowa become so bad for the pheasant that there will no longer be a hunting season? In about 15 yrs we went from 200,000 hunters to 46,000. A harvest of over 1 million to 100,000. If we stay on the same course there would be 11,000 hunters and a...

It's been a mild winter in western Iowa. If good nesting conditions I hope there is a better increase in the bird population than the 16% of last year. Anyone know the harvest total for last year?

What's the difference between a Federal 3" Barnes expander tipped and the Federal 3" Trophy in 20 ga? The weight is 5/8 oz for the Barnes and 275 gr for the Trophy, the velocities are the same at 1900, and both are made of copper. Besides the weight are there any significant differences. I...

The ultimate apparel looks real nice.

It's good to hear reports of birds over the state. It might help to spread hunters out instead of everybody going to one area of the state. I went out this morning to shoot my slug gun and never saw any hunters. (SW)

I think Scheels is a good place and usually has good prices on their guns. I stopped by a Cabela's to check out their guns and prices and wasn't impressed. Their used guns were priced as high as some of Scheels new guns. I'm moving to NW Iowa, anyone know of some good places in MN or SD.

The DNR started their pheasant count. They are predicting a 40% increase in population from last year based on the weather conditions from the winter and spring. They thought the survey might not accurately reflect the actual numbers due to the hot dry conditions. There should be more birds...

So I need a back up pheasant gun and a duck gun. If I shoot 2-5 ducks in a year that would be plenty even 1 would be okay, mainly just go to have fun. My wife wants the 28 legacy. Question is could this be her primary gun and back up gun for me? I know I would have to really limit my shot...

I'm moving to greener pheasant fields in Iowa. I'll practically be neighbors with niceshot and md and a little closer to FCS. I've been seeing some pheasants when drivng around the country in the evenings. I think the dogs will be a lot happier and will be closer to SD. Look out NW Iowa...

I seen my first batch of chicks tonight as I took the dogs swimming. About nine of them. Nice to see some little ones.

I worked the past two and a half weeks out in the country with at least 40 acres of crp on both sides of the road and only heard one rooster crowing. I know this county is in deep trouble. Anyone else seeing birds or hearing them?

Just seen the tail end of the SDSU game to bad they lost. Great effort.

Crappies are starting to bite and had pretty good Sat. afternoon. Size was 10-11 in. and will be some good eating. This week should produce some good fishing.

What's the tastiest big game animal? I've only had whitetail deer from Iowa but I love it. Do Mulies taste like white tails? How many pounds of meat do you get off an elk or moose? Out of the deer I got steaks, brats, ring bologna, breakfast sausage, jerky, deer sticks, hamburger. Are...
