Munster, I would suggest looking at the Nebraska 511 Roads website/App. The road cameras will give you an idea of snow on the area you plan to visit. It is melting fast. Drifts in ditches and along shelter belts. It was much needed moisture in that country. Pray for more.

Night Riders Lament. One of my favorite JJW songs. Great one for driving dirt roads in pheasant country!

I am generally listening to something Americana: Grateful Dead, Robert Earl Keen, Jerry Jeff Walker, James McMurtry, Chris Knight, Willie, Tom Petty, Marshall Tucker, Skynyrd, etc. Love Classic rock in general also. Lots of good stuff out there and many new unknown musicians showing up all time.

Those melanistic feathers are great for fly tying.

Remy, it is a 3" load. Federal @ 1300 fps. But there are other options out there.

I shoot an IC out of my 20 all season on wild birds, and have for years. The only difference is I shoot 1 1/4 oz of #5. Your combo with #6 will work fine 35 yds and in.

Bob, the Federal Premium High Velocity is basically the same load as the WingShok (at least in 20 ga.), just renamed. I have shot the Wingshok out of my 20 for years. Love it. Glad I have 2 cases in back stock at home! BTW, another difference, beside the pellets you mentioned, between the...

Their handy work on some Late season Nebraska roosters. Unfortunately we lost Fin (on the left) last month. Now Hatch will have to do all the heavy lifting.

My boys Fin and Hatch before a Sage Grouse hunt. They are Uncle and Nephew.

Wanting input from folks who have the WW vest. Which game bag would you recommend, standard or XL? How many roosters fit in a standard vs. x-large game bag? Trying to decide which size game bag to get. Thx

Heading to hunt some private ground in Adams/Hettinger counties after Christmas. Considering hunting some of the PLOTS and WMA in the area if needed or for a change of scenery. Wondering thoughts of late season hunting on these public areas? Do they get so pounded the birds vacate for...

I know that ND offers a 14 day or 2- 7 day license for Non- Residents. Wondering if anyone know if the offer the second 7 day period for the following season if purchased in late December with less than 14 days in season? I know SD has a plan like this with their Non-res license. Anybody know...

With snow on the ground in much of the pheasant belt, low temps in single digits and highs in the teens and 20's, what effect does this have on pheasant feeding patterns? I mean do the feed for longer periods, spending more time in stubble, to fuel their furnace or do they feed faster, "get r...

Got a call from our farmer who was picking his corn. He reported the ducks were getting into the freshly picked corn. Decided to load up the field blinds,my son, the dog and go have a look. He was correct. We shot our 2 man limit of 14 in about an hour once they started to fly. My son was...

Looking for a boots on the ground report of snow totals near the Nebraska border(E. Philips or E. Yuma counties)? Or any of you CO boys venture into SW NE over the weekend have a snow report? Thanks

I spent 3 days earlier this week hunting our old stomping grounds in Nebraska with my Dad, my son and my brother. Quality time in the field with all. Love chasing late season wild roosters. Love watching the dog trail one until it pins it down and then flushes close,even though many more flush...

What type of cover are you guys focusing on mid day to find birds? I hear people talk about loafing cover. What does that look like to you? CRP grass, thickets, cedar trees, koshia? Curious to hear peoples ideas. Just returned from a hunt and we could not consistently find birds mid day...

My son, a buddy, myself and our 2 dogs spent a day last weekend chasing birds. Ended up with a great mixed bag of wild birds: roosters, Columbian Sharptail grouse, and Huns. The Highlight of the day was my son killing his first Wild Rooster. He had several opportunities during the day, but...
