    Ditch birds - public or private acting?

    Comparing wild birds on private land to flare nares is a stretch of unimaginable proportions. One set grows up in the wild evading predators, fights the elements, and needs to find food to survive. Flare nares are on the same level as domesticated poultry. They grow up in a barn with water...

    MN DNR Survey

    Of course they do. I do every day I hunt deer. I know it down to the minute because when you deer hunt, minutes matter.

    MN DNR Survey

    That could also be based solely on numbers. Simple math says if you have more participating, you're likely to have more problems too. Most deer hunting accidents or problems are related to tree stands. Not shooting others like our former vice president.

    F150

    My wife drives a Rav4 Hyrbid and the mileage this time of year is not very good due to it using more engine/gasoline instead of EV power. In the warmer months, it gets close to 40 mpg and 600 miles/tank. Right now its down to 33 mpg and under 500 miles per tank. Its been cold here. I drive a...

    MN DNR Survey

    I could really kinda care less about options 1 and 2. I don't usually start hunting until around 11 or noon anyways. Item number 3 is in need of a major change. Opening the season the second Saturday in October when its 75 degrees out and a sea of corn is ridiculous. It should more closely...

    Iowa wants to buy all the southern-most counties in Minnesota

    I'm good. That area is the land of rocks and crows. However, I could avoid the hefty lottery-drawn application and license fees they require nonresidents to hunt deer. Would save a guy about 500 bucks each season. And I could hunt pheasants an extra 10 days in January too.

    Shot Variety

    I hunted without a dog for years too. I am on my first one right (yellow lab) who just finished her 13th season. Prior to that, I specifically hunted different habitat. I would not venture into very thick cover because I knew there was less of a chance of finding one. I hunted a lot of spots...

    Pheasant Fest 2025 KC

    I know. I thought it would be more like that. I wanted to buy ammo and a vest and the offerings on that sort of thing were slim to none. I shouldn't bad mouth it so much, it just wasn't what I was expecting it to be.

    Would like your insight on a purchase for pheasant hunting

    Me neither. Other than the fact that its state law here in MN. But even if it wasn't I'd wear my vest which has some orange, and my usual orange hat. And I'm not even hunting in a group either. I am usually solo or just with one other person. There are additional blaze orange requirements...

    Pheasant Fest 2025 KC

    I went to the one in Minneapolis (two years ago I think) because I received free tickets and it was only about 15 miles from my house. I was not very impressed. I was hoping to buy some upland gear (ammo, vest, etc) and there really wasn't much of that there. I got hounded about joining PF...

    Bigfoot

    Nope. I need real proof. Not some guy walking around in a brown suit on a blurry camera. I need a body or remains. If they are out there, we would have found one by now.

    They don't. You might be right about the re-branded wing shok.

    Who has lost one or found one in the parking lot?

    Two springs ago, after a morning of turkey hunting, I placed my Benelli Supervova on the tail gate when I was done. I started loading some other items in the cab, hopped in, and drove away. Apparently the shotgun stayed there for a couple miles as I was driving on a gravel road. Once I...

    Cold fingers alert, north central SD weekend of 1/18-1/19

    Agreed. I use a crate, but I move it into the cab when its necessary. I know goose doesn't approve of a travel kennel, but he can go kick rocks. No dog is climbing around on the inside of my truck cab, ever. I trained my dog to ride in travel kennel and that's where she goes every time I...

    Bills Lions super bowl would kick ass. Neither team has won one either. Not the Chiefs or Eagles, please

    Cold fingers alert, north central SD weekend of 1/18-1/19

    My dog would do fine. She's from Canada and does much better in cold temps than warm temps. The issue for me is the wind. As I stated, I'm much more tolerant of hunting in the cold than the warmth, but I have my own limits too. And that limit is with my fingers. Once I start walking, I...

    Cold fingers alert, north central SD weekend of 1/18-1/19

    That's my experience too. Riding in the truck for an hour and then going to bitter cold is when my fingers need time to adjust. An hour later its fine.
