    OR (Outdoor Research) Gaiters

    Used to only use gaiters - switched some time ago to lightweight waterproof chaps - they work great in a fresh snow or heavy frost - years ago we hunted a big chunk of school property that had a heavy melting frost - had to change clothes when we got back to the truck - that event triggered the...

    Looking for SD Pheasants~Hunt Swap?

    Field kit + I had a blooper load

    Duds are a rare occurrence, but do happen. Good composure not to squeeze another round off! Like MiForester stated, we too always keep a spare gun on hand. You could carry a 3/8” x 36” wood dowel in your vehicle. This can also be used to make an emergency plug if Need be.

    Stock Pitch

    agreed John - while the book focus is on the importance of stock fit & the 5 dimensions that represents, it also covers eye dominance, shooting stance, shooter confidence, etc. as a side note, and before acquiring this book, some time ago I Purchased a used Friends of NRA Sporting Clays...

    Stock Pitch

    Thanks for sharing that excellent article John..........another great reference is the Stock Fitter's Bible by Rollin Oswald. He states comb dimensions are the most important, since they position the eye. The book also shows how to pattern and correct for various issues with stock fit.

    What would you do?

    The potential loss of access is real, saw it happen to a close friend, with a similar situation. That meant a spot for me as well, since I was almost always invited. Can’t comprehend such behavior. Kismet’s summary is spot on - take a day or even two before approaching your friend. It will help...

    Best Steakhouse in SD?

    Fall Trip

    Back home from our annual fall trip. Two of the days were very windy, which made for some very sporty shooting. We took the time to insure we were walking into the wind, which resulted in close flushes. Friday was a bluebird day, and the pheasants were really out. A calm day, after some...

    Big fire supposedly started by hunters.

    Randy - Thank God your friend, and all others involved survived that massive field fire. When it covers that much ground, it likely also included some standing crops. As dry as it is in SD right now, the risk for field fires is extreme. I do wonder how the liability works, as the only ones I've...
