    Would like your insight on a purchase for pheasant hunting

    Me neither. Other than the fact that its state law here in MN. But even if it wasn't I'd wear my vest which has some orange, and my usual orange hat. And I'm not even hunting in a group either. I am usually solo or just with one other person. There are additional blaze orange requirements...

    Pheasant Fest 2025 KC

    I went to the one in Minneapolis (two years ago I think) because I received free tickets and it was only about 15 miles from my house. I was not very impressed. I was hoping to buy some upland gear (ammo, vest, etc) and there really wasn't much of that there. I got hounded about joining PF...

    Bigfoot

    Nope. I need real proof. Not some guy walking around in a brown suit on a blurry camera. I need a body or remains. If they are out there, we would have found one by now.

    The truth about Prairie Storm

    They don't. You might be right about the re-branded wing shok.

    Who has lost one or found one in the parking lot?

    Two springs ago, after a morning of turkey hunting, I placed my Benelli Supervova on the tail gate when I was done. I started loading some other items in the cab, hopped in, and drove away. Apparently the shotgun stayed there for a couple miles as I was driving on a gravel road. Once I...

    Cold fingers alert, north central SD weekend of 1/18-1/19

    Agreed. I use a crate, but I move it into the cab when its necessary. I know goose doesn't approve of a travel kennel, but he can go kick rocks. No dog is climbing around on the inside of my truck cab, ever. I trained my dog to ride in travel kennel and that's where she goes every time I...

    Vikings game

    Bills Lions super bowl would kick ass. Neither team has won one either. Not the Chiefs or Eagles, please

    Cold fingers alert, north central SD weekend of 1/18-1/19

    My dog would do fine. She's from Canada and does much better in cold temps than warm temps. The issue for me is the wind. As I stated, I'm much more tolerant of hunting in the cold than the warmth, but I have my own limits too. And that limit is with my fingers. Once I start walking, I...

    The truth about Prairie Storm

    Those are solid too. Only difference is the pellet shape and the flightstopper.

    Grouse, season start, and snares

    And a lot of feral cats. Which need serious thinning.

    Cold fingers alert, north central SD weekend of 1/18-1/19

    That's my experience too. Riding in the truck for an hour and then going to bitter cold is when my fingers need time to adjust. An hour later its fine.

    Vikings game

    They will have a lot of cap space to re-sign many of those players, should they choose to do so. I think the radio said they have the 5th most cap space of any team going into next season.

    Grouse, season start, and snares

    This is really no different than any outdoor activity. The majority of bird hunters are safe and responsible too. But there's a few bad apples ruining it for others. Like Goose who continues to lose cripple after cripple because his ammo is crap. How many licensed trappers do you actually...

    Cold fingers alert, north central SD weekend of 1/18-1/19

    That's generally the main issue. I'd make darn sure you have the ability to seek help if you need it. Good luck out there on the frozen tundra

    Vikings game

    If you would have asked me that 3 weeks ago, I would have said Darnold for sure. Now, I'm not convinced. 14 wins is 14 wins, that is a lot in the NFL. But you make your hay against playoff-caliber opponents, not against the Bears. So at this point, you let Sam walk and see what he can get...

    24-25 Season Recap

    Permission on private land to hunt deer here in MN (especially during gun season) is nearly impossible now. Everyone and their cousin hunts deer during that time period. That's primarily why I'm only able to gain permission to pheasant hunt after that season is over in mid November. Virtually...

    They weren't even competitive last night. Shameful.

    Cold fingers alert, north central SD weekend of 1/18-1/19

    I'm pretty tolerant of hunting in cold conditions, but that is too much for this guy. You'd have to be pretty desperate to venture out in that nastiness TBH

    The truth about Prairie Storm

    I realize this is an older thread, but for those who like using PS, the price has gone up. Most places charge about $30/box for it now. Scheels is charging up to $35/box! Reed's has it on sale for $25/box but you'll have to pay for shipping, obviously. I exclusively used it this past season...
