    New state restrictions on boots

    Guys, its not the individual products that have PFAS that are causing the problem. Those products are safe to use otherwise they wouldn't be on the market. Its the companies that make those products and their lack of disposal/responsibility into the environment. The stuff is in nearly every...

    New state restrictions on boots

    They are class of chemicals that basically exist forever in the environment. Companies like DuPont and 3M have released them into our waterways and groundwater for years and we're all now paying the price for it. The EPA and state pollution agencies have taken them to court and they have been...

    End of shooting hours,? for evening hunters

    I have a couple. I do not carry, no need. But they are fun shooting at the range or plinking stuff outside. If you have a gun shop nearby with a range, they will sometimes allow you to shoot a variety of them to see which one you like the best. Standard or compact versions are better for...

    Ok you go ahead and use a handgun to hunt deer. I'll use my scoped rifle.

    End of shooting hours,? for evening hunters

    Standard handgun range is 15 feet. That is trained upon you when you take the course, and its the designated standard distance at pistol ranges. Its not like the movies. You don't whip out a pistol and pick off villians on the top of a building.

    End of shooting hours,? for evening hunters

    Honestly, they don't make me nervous or worry me. Its their right if they choose to do so, given they can pass the course. There's lots of unsafe hunters out there too. If you really need to carry two firearms while hunting, maybe its time to re-think where you're hunting. If a zombie shows...

    There will be a lot more purple there than Rams fans. That's 100% guaranteed

    End of shooting hours,? for evening hunters

    Exactly. And if a threat is coming at you, you aren't going to convince me that a handgun is a better option than a shotgun. Ever. Insecure individuals. I respect the right for someone to carry a handgun if they have the permit for it but doing so when you're already carrying a more...

    Huh? I've been donating cleaned, vaccuum sealed birds to family and friends for 25 years without this documentation you speak of.

    End of shooting hours,? for evening hunters

    Why wouldn't you just use your 12 gauge? I keep mine loaded in case I encounter a zombie, bigfoot, or aliens. There's lots of bad things out there that want to take you out.

    Slowing your dog

    I just try to keep up. I'm still young and athletic enough to do it. I trained my lab to range pretty close though. Even on a running hot bird, she is still within shotgun range. Many years ago, during her second season, I had to correct the range with an e-collar because she was getting to...

    Golden Retrievers allowable hunting temps

    After 25 years hunting pheasants, I have almost no interest in doing it anymore in warmer temps. Its hard on my dog and its hard on me. Give me 15 degrees and a frozen landscape every time over 65 degrees. Unfortunately, the trend is not moving in the direction I want it, and the DNR keeps...

    Vikings game

    I don't see both the Packers and Commanders winning. Especially the Packers. They just haven't been very good lately. Commanders, maybe. They could beat Tampa. That would send the Vikings to Philly, should they beat LA. Honestly not sure if another game in Detroit or a game in Philadelphia...

    Well I missed that one pretty bad. Turn the page and prepare for the Rams. Can't lose anymore now either.

    Grouse, season start, and snares

    Perhaps. That doesn't make a legal, licensed trapper the root of all evil though.

    Here's some 2024/2025 info about the cornhusker state, conditions, and bird estimates. Doesn't seem like a completely dire situation from this, but what's printed on paper and what actually is happening in the field can vary wildy sometimes. According to this, pheasants are up in every zone...

    Grouse, season start, and snares

    Actually I think its the opposite. Most would agree with Remy. Not you. Trapping is a legal form of outdoor recreation and although it does seem like a dying breed, its very effective at controlling predators and furbearers. I loathe the day my dog ends up in a trap, should that occur, and...

    Vikings game

    Massive ramifications on the line against Detroit tonight. First round bye and home field goes to the winner. No bye and all road games goes to the loser. I think the Vikings will stop the Lions offense just enough times to win a one score game. 31-27 purple SKOL
