Nice to see a GSP in Craig Morgan's "This Ole Boy" music video. http://www.cmt.com/videos/craig-morgan/724351/this-ole-boy.jhtml

I thought SD was a state that valued conservation and wildlife. New law for the state that requires no net gain of public land. I hope it gets reversed so new areas can be aquired by state.

I took the dogs out for a run towards sunset today. We had our first significant snowfall on Sat. I drove roughly 14 miles of gravel roads out and back. I had seen no pheasants or signs of pheasant tracks even going by 300 acres of CRP. I decided I really wanted to see a pheasant I made a...

I love eating pheasant. I've had one quail and it has been so long since I had partridge I can't remember what they taste like. I had some sharpies but they don't compare to pheasant. What is the tastiest game bird pheasant, quail, wild chukar, ruffed grouse etc.? It seems like I hear...

Many of us hunt with the same breed of hunting dog our whole life. I have mainly had labs and ventured into the DK a few years ago. This departure has been a great experience. Maybe down the road I'll try some other breeds also. Right now I lean towards a DD or Bracco Italiano. There's many...

Now that hunting season is over for me, I got the guns cleaned one last time and put away. I took inventory on shotgun shells. I have enough to last me 6-7 seasons if current pheasant population continues in Iowa.:(:(:(:( My uncle said he heard on one radio program that they were discussing...

Do you have a public area that you hunt that year after year that produces birds, deer or other game? I hunted one public area for pheasants that continually produced birds and it seemed like I was the only one that was hunting there. Now that area has become overgrown with trees and brush and...

Does anyone have their versatile dog trained to recover deer? What states is it legal for dogs to recover deer? Iowa, you can't.

Finally got my first deer today. I logged a lot of leg miles to get this first deer. I took it off public ground using the Savage Arms 20 ga and Nikon slug scope at about 70 yds. I didn't have to trail it as it dropped right there and drug it out about 3/4 mile. Going out again tomorrow. I...

I heard the Iowa DNR is going to make a trade with the SD Game and Fish to get pheasants back in Iowa. Iowa is going to give them 100,000 hogs for 500,000 pheasants. I believe we are getting one hell of a deal because I consider a confinement hog worthless. More than likely this is some rumor...

I hunted a 55 acre piece of pheasant paradise yesterday. The birds would not fly out of this cover as they would just fly from one place to another in the crp. Most of the birds just continued to keep running and would not flush. There was not much cover in the surrounding fields but with no...

All I want for Christmas is for the pheasants to make a comeback in Iowa! Maybe this is asking to much from Old Saint Nick. I'm pretty sure this is all my dogs want too. Went out today without a gun and hunted one buffer strip with young man who had gun. I said before we started we would...

What's the minimum width in ft that you can have on a buffer strip?

I didn't want to steal the other thread, but curious about DD's. Do they all have longer coat and beard? I would guess the vast do. Some of the GWP look like GSP.

Anyone get their deer? I'll be heading out 2nd season.

Any of your dogs like to help clean the birds? One of my labs loves to help out by carrying the birds around in the garage. Especially goes crazy on the days he didn't get to go and the other dogs did.

How far will you travel for a one day return trip pheasant hunt? I have made 4 trips so far this year where the drive is 6 hrs (3up/3back). This is to hunt public ground where a good day is just seeing birds. A great day is getting one bird and getting two birds is outstanding. A 3 bird day...

Zeb are you out there? Haven't heard any reports from you lately. Maybe you got lost out in CO.

I was around md's and niceshot's area on Fri. and never saw them. They must have been in SD.

There's a push to discontinue lead shot in Iowa right now. Seems to make sense. How do others feel?
