I shot some clay targets tonight with a teenager I take hunting. He had a friend over who also went with us. Both boys shot well and we had a good time. We talked about hunting and it was good to see how much both enjoy hunting and shooting.
With the harvest under way, I have been seeing more roosters than ever. In one buffer strip, I saw 75 roosters and in another I saw 100. No I haven't been smoking crack or tipping the bottle. But, I was dreaming and at least in my dreams there's still some birds in Iowa. I did see one...
I saw an ad to lease pheasant hunting on 5,000 acres for $50,000. For a sixty day season thats 833.33/day. Yet you could hunt many places for $500 a day or less where they provide food, lodging, guide, shells, and clean birds.
