I have been looking to get a new gun since Nov. and there are alot of good sales on guns. I was in no big hurry and had narrowed down my selection between 4 guns. I came across one of the guns and it was marked $500 lower than anybody else. I knew I had to wait till work picked up again, but...

I like to rough house with the dogs in the back yard, especially when there's snow. Today, I slipped and fell backwards at the same time Dolf was jumping at me. Would have been no big deal, but I fell onto a small pointed boulder that I use for landscape edging. I landed on my lower spine(it...

After Johnny and I had our first hunt of the year my new best friends, the Jones boys, invited us to hunt at their pheasant preserve. I had always known about the Jones boys but had never really gotten to know them. There are 4 boys. The oldest, Jebb Jr., is a U.S. senator. Then there's...

I got to take my son, Johnny, out for his first pheasant hunt this year and I was also able to hunt with some new friends. Johnny is 12 and passed his hunter's safety class and has accompanied me on many a hunts without a gun. On this particular day we decided to hunt at Jim's place. I have...

What is the Daily Bag Limit ( max # of a particular game that one hunter per day may take or kill) for SD? I thought you were only allowed 3 birds/day.

Dolf & I went out Saturday afternoon and were greeted by a fresh snow from the night before. I was hoping the snow would help hold the birds a little bit as they had been running wild. I only took my young DK, who has been progressing well for his first year of hunting. We hunted one area for...

Is the 16 ga ballistically better than the 12 ga by putting more shot on target and having a shorter shot string? Are there any other advantages besides weight?

How's the snow conditions in NW Iowa? Would like to hit some cattails before seasons end if most of the snow is gone.

Do the smart roosters have an uncanny ability to fly right into the sun? Do the surviving roosters learn to flush and fly low so as you can't shoot for fear of hitting the dog or blockers? It certainly seems that way on a number of outtings this year and today was horrible with roosters going...

Looking to buy a side by side shotgun, some of the guns I like are the Fabarm Noble II, Marlin LC Smith, Kimber Valier, and AYA. Just seeing if anybody can recommend any of these or another side by side.

I'm wanting to take a late season bird hunt to Kansas and looking for a place that provides lodging and access to land but no guide. Or it could be just a place to stay in close proximity to alot of WIHA's. The lodging would have to allow dogs, since my dogs stay with me. Any suggestions...

Anybody seeing any pheasant chicks? I've seen just one brood so far, but I haven't been out in the country to much.

Just checking in to see how the birds are doing in other parts of Iowa. Here in the SW the winter has been cold, but thankfully we have missed alot of the snow and ice that has plagued the rest of the state. I have been working the dogs around here and the pheasants are in pretty good...
