I got out for an hour of duck hunting today. It wasn't prime time, from 10:30 til 11:00. There was only one other group of hunters on the marsh. I didn't see any ducks after 20 min. and the other group was leaving. I walked around the marsh with Roo ( black lab). He found a blue winged teal...

A funny thing happened on the way to the pheasant fields of Iowa. Some where along the way the deer hunters outnumbered the pheasant hunters. Maybe I was just in my small little world and paid no attention to these other people over the years. Now that I started deer hunting, it's hard to...

The guns are cleaned and put away momentarially. In a few weeks, I'll get them out to chase a few snows and blues around the local marshes. It seems like there are more hunting opportunties than ever. If I turkey hunted, I would be out with the gun into May. Our duck season starts in Sept. ...

I think the wife finally found her perfect gun. After years of showing her different guns, I handed her the BL 28 the other day at Scheels. Well now I have to come up with $1700 by next hunting season. It took me about 8 yrs to get the gun I wanted, with the savings always having to go to...
