    Public land newbie

    I generally wear my normal hunting boots but always have a pair of muck boots with me if weather or conditions warrant them. If the cattails still have standing water in them I don't walk them I let the dogs do the work, if they point then I will go in. As many have mentioned you need gear for...

    How many birds would you lose/find without a dog?

    Kind of public land?

    They all have there perks, typically wpa's have cattails and late season probably best shot, some also have shelterbelts. GPA's would be very similar but may also have crops like standing corn. Both WPA and GPA require non-toxic shot. CREP can have all the above and typically near crop lands...

    Weird things pheasants do

    My dad and I were hunting in Iowa back in the mid 90's and our britt was very birdy when a rooster jumped up like they do when then are winged, you could see his head turning to locate the threats then hit ground and would run or change direction, we chased this rooster for probably 20 to 30...
