What gauge of shotgun, paired with the appropriate choke and shotshell would I need for this outing!!??!! Ice cold Schlitz.....actually have a pizza joint/bar in town here that still serves that off the tap!

Yawn. More assumptions or name calling about this boot licking thing. I'm aware of the debates the Founding Fathers and authors of the Declaration of Independence had regarding the uniting of the 13 colonies, Preamble to the Constitution and development of the first 10 Amendments. I have a...

What constitutional protection is the use of a game decoy infringing upon? Entrapment is a affirmative defense to criminal prosecution for a crime, and the courts have upheld that the use of game decoys to catch violators is a legitimate law enforcement method, not entrapment. Militarize the...

Correct.....much like the placement of a decoy and operation of attempting to quell unlawful activity as it relates to why/where/when the decoy is placed, the observation and apprehension of violators....point is, these actually serve a legitimate law enforcement purpose, are practical, not...

Another discussion of topic on the South Dakota forum is talking about hunter harassment issues.....one way for a CO/Warden to address this behavior would be to get with another CO/Warden, dress in hunting attire, drive a plain vehicle, and appear to be hunting inorder to directly observe, as...

Just checking in to see if anyone has been in the Hecla area since the last posts for an update. Leave Sunday to head out there......thanks in advance.

My opinion, based on my experience, see the use of a game decoy in the attempt to catch a subject engaging in unlawful conduct is neither enticement nor entrapment. If one is predisposed to violate fish and game laws, or any laws.....the mere presence of that decoy isn't creating the situation...

After 2 days of rain this week and city driving, no areas of moisture sneaking in from the tailgate area or truck cap closure area......we'll see how it does with dust in a week! I used the Lund Tailgate Seal kit sold at Fleet Farm.

What area of SD did you end up in?

Agreed with what has been posted thus far regarding rest and observation. Dogs are very resilient, their pain tolerance is well above what we can detect.....so even if the swelling and limp fades, there may still be a structural or ligament issue that they are fighting through. Safest way to...

Thank you both for the updates.

Thanks! Typically have hit spots just outside of Hecla, but last year they were tough, saw alot of pressure. Plus a few of the CREP spots which had been honey holes were transitioned out. I pushed a bit further west checking spots, which cut in to time on the ground as did the heat.....but did...

I'm headed out that way in 11 days....4th year staying in Hecla. Hoping for a better year than last year, but the weather and crops were not in our favor last year. It was really warm, dry and the crops were just coming off.....so we pushed back 2 weeks this year hoping to get more favorable...

Today was as good of a day as any to do it since this topic was fresh in my head.....went to Fleet Farm and bought the Lund Tailgate Seal Kit sold there....$24......installed and cannot see any light getting through tailgate or truck cup.....we shall see how it holds/performs.

In 2006 I was contemplating leaving my current law enforcement agency here in Wisconsin for a Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks Warden position....looking for a change and new adventure. The average Warden District at that time in Montana was around 2,000 square miles and starting pay was one of...

I will be headed out that way November 5th-11th......Hecla area.

Same problem......I was toying with the idea of some sort of rubber weather stripping like on the bottom of house doors......🤷‍♂️

I ordered 4 bottles today direct from the website.....3 to 5 days for delivery.

If you haven't done so, I would check what the restrictions are for Minnesota WMA land. Some state WMA lands do have restrictions, one of which includes dogs cannot be off leash unless engaged in hunting during an open hunting season. While it may then not be a issue handled by Conservation...

I've used a variety of techniques with both of my labs to condition them to not only gunfire, but to other loud, sudden noises that may create stress for them. I've used wooden blocks slapped together, vehicle panic alarm, staying protected in the garage during a good thunderstorm with the...
