I ended up traveling / hunting a bit further north to a little west of Mitchell and we found birds and had a great experience, unbelievably great weather too considering it is late January. My first time hunting SD. It’s such a thrill to hunt wild pheasants with my dogs in fields and farms. I...

Thanks

Much appreciated, thanks

I have a lean healthy lab that is very good on birds, often tends to range out to far, I have to keep on him about that. Usually retrieves anything I knock down. He’s very good at hunting heavy cover, very good at tracking, scenting, finding birds. Half the reason I want to hunt is for his...

I am in Ohio and thinking about driving to SD with my 2 dogs to hunt the last week of the season. The SE / Souhern part of the state would be the shorter drive. I am wondering how the bird numbers are in that region? Any other info / hunting tips would be much appreciated. Thanks

Folks often complain about government involvement and restrictions but realistically greed, excessive consumption and abuse tend to rule out with out regs and or controls. Maybe getting down to a more local level landowners could be incentivized to maintain more set aside habitat with the aid...

So what were your results now that the season is over?????

In defense of the Dog Food Advisor link that I posted regarding grain free dog foods and the subject of dilated cardiomyopath or DCM the reporting is legitimate scientific and up to date research data. The objective science and up to date research on the subject does not just depend "on what...

Not all grain free dog foods are the same. Do your research. No pissing contest required. See; https://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/dog-food-news/fda-investigating-potential-link-between-diet-and-heart-disease-in-dogs/

The dry kibble that I have chosen to feed my dogs is Farmina brand grain free formula. It is the only manufacturer I know of who specifies the percentage of protein that is animal based. It is among few that I know of that use ingredients that pass human grade quality. The food is manufactured...

I'm 170 at 34" waist 42" chest and the large Pella Bird-n-Lite upland strap vest fits me fine. I'm on my second one as the fabric that the cargo pockets are made of tore up pretty bad on the first one. I may get around to doing some repairs with that thinking of attaching military grade cargo...

This is not rocket science and really is not a new concept. It seems in most cases the main ingredient that's missing is related to the attitude of AG operation owners / managers and government funding incentives...

I wanted to share this weather web site with my fellow hunters. It has a lot of viewing options which include snow depth, wind speed, gusts, precipitation type, radar, etc.. You can also scroll forward about for an approximate 9 day forecast. Happy hunting...

Sure would like to see this in northeast Ohio. A good area to start would be Columbiana County and others along the Ohio river as the DOW released Kansas quail some years ago to try and get a wild population started. New Grazing Concept Benefits the Bird and the Herd...

Well worth the read. "How America’s food giants swallowed the family farms" (and degraded natural resources) https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/mar/09/american-food-giants-swallow-the-family-farms-iowa?CMP=share_btn_fb&fbclid=IwAR1XOWWPlTRlORHRYbBnUnBG1dvY_UuMm0Sz3Cz-qdy-kMVlONoULvj9RqY

http://www.sanduskyregister.com/sto...kc_P9lnx2b1wvLyTazwl3XetjisokMHZs1U-wGv7Bk388 This is not new news. At least they are reporting more honest numbers now. It wasn't that long ago that Ohio DOW was reporting 200,000 wild pheasants in Ohio which was total bull. For more than 30 years...

Hi, I've never hunted west of Ohio and I have a young 2 1/2 year old lab and am thinking about making a long weekend trip to hunt late season pheasant and quail in Iowa. Is the area around Ottumwa likely to be a good area to try? Any input is very much appreciated. Thanks
