    Let’s talk boots (older crowd on here)

    I’m 62, feet we’re always hurting due to injuries when young, the more I’m on my feet the more it hurts. Bought the Crispi mountain guide and the support really helped. Bought two other pair of Crispi’s but the mountain guide definitely the best for me. The only problem is I put in as many...

    Pointer or flusher debate

    I have pointers and they will point and move and point again and sometimes if I let them go they will trail the bird until it flush’s. There’s no way I can keep up with them when they do that, they are moving at least 10-20 mph at that point. Rarely do I get a shot at running birds. So I...

    Sounds like you have it figured out, congrats on a successful year. Too bad the state of Nebraska can’t figure it out!

    Beretta 686 pigeon 2

    Thanks for all the reply’s No addition chokes, just the standard 5 that came with it. I’m fine with the length, not for trap shooting. I didn’t realize there there was any cast left or right. I am left handed, how do I tell, it doesn’t look like the stock cast either way

    Loosing birds

    It was like this except blow down more. Dogs were literally underneath and couldn’t see them except for grass moving.

    Beretta 686 pigeon 2

    Looking at buying this gun, anyone know what it’s worth? I have it and it looks it great shape, no scratches or wear. Friend is selling cause he would rather shoot automatics. He’s asking $2,200 for it. Too high?

    Loosing birds

    I usually spot and run up just short of spot and let the dogs go to work, usually they see it go down and have it before I get there. Was in some really deep layed down grass yesterday and my older setter found the bird only to come out with tail feathers, she found it again and I reached in to...

    No weekend reports?

    Hunted South Dakota last weekend, saw lots of hunters. Birds seem to be pushed out of a lot of walk-ins. The weather was warm so the birds were out of heavy cover and spread out more. Seemed to stay out in short grass or corn all day and went back to cover late. Rained Monday. Still managed...

    How tough are these birds?

    Saw that a few times when I was younger and hunted with my family in bigger groups. Always seem to happen on passing shots, Dad always said it was a heart shot.

    First day in Western Nebraska

    The other thing Nebraska Game and Fish refuses to acknowledge is the predator impact. They say predator control doesn’t work, then why do other states do it and have pheasants? Then they’ll tell you pheasant aren’t a native species anyway. They really could care less if Nebraska has any...

    Disappointed

    Use to stop in Sydney every trip back home to NE. Rarely if ever stop anymore. The bargain cave used to be great and that sidewalk sale someone mentioned, was it Christmas in July? Used to go to that sale every year, penny’s on the dollar for good stuff. There would be people camping out to...

    First day in Western Nebraska

    I live in Wyoming and use to hunt western and southwestern Nebraska a lot. I grew up in Nebraska and never missed opening day in 30 years. I’m not even going to Nebraska this year, waste of time. I talked with people that hunted last couple weekends with same results, no birds anywhere, just...

    Extinction Of Pheasant Hunting In Parts Of Nebraska

    I grew up in NP. Used to hunt that area a lot. My brother still lives there, he used to hunt 2-3 times a week and would typically kill over 50 roosters a year. He only went out once this year and didn’t see one pheasant. He does a lot of scouting and rarely see a bird. He’s hoping they will...

    Extinction Of Pheasant Hunting In Parts Of Nebraska

    I used to hunt Nebraska, but gave up the last couple of years cause there are no birds. Grew up in Nebraska and have been hunting there my entire life. It amazes to me the difference between Nebraska‘s game and fish and South Dakota‘s . There seems to be no effort towards conservation...

    Crispi boots fail

    Surprised, I’ve been wearing my crispi’ s almost every day for work and hunting, no issues. Love them and my feet don’t hurt at end of day. I’ve averaged 8500 steps a day for last 6 months. I think ill wear out the soles before I wear out the rest of the boot.

    Lost birds

    I recently lost a bird, thought for sure it was dead, cloud of feathers, but when I got to the spot it should be there was nothing there. The dogs couldn’t see it go down cause they were in tall cattails. we looked for quit awhile but never did locate It. Shot it on point at like 15 yards. I...
