We hunted the same spots two days in a row. I normally never do that but it was worth it. So Friday we saw all the cows on the back of a hillside out of the wind. We went there the next day and there was a dead one. My buddy is Mr. Johnny on the spot so he jumped the fence to investigate. The...

Keep drinking bourbon or Irish whiskey and your liver will fall out.

I don't think I lost a single bird this year when hunting alone with Skye*. I know on one hunt with with 4 guys and 5 dogs we lost some. When you have a big grab-assy type group things seem more chaotic and it's easier to lose one. *I'll double check in the hunting journal when time allows.

If your dog is from Wyoming buy some rabbit loads.

1. Put the 28 in the safe and leave it there all bird season. 2. Shoot a healthy payload but avoid high velocity in anything except a gas gun 3. Work with Mr. Jones. Even in the off season walk him in the prairie when within the law. Also, make sure he sees every episode of jcw outdoors. 4...

Well that clears it up completely. Sometimes I think your motto in life is, "if you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit."

Goose, I'm sorry to say it, you got bamboozled. Don't kill the messenger, but that lady in Saskatchewan pulled your chain. She sold you a lab from Laramie. Now we know why the birds get away, you've got a dog from Wyoming🤯!

Look for undisturbed grasslands. Bluestem, Indian grass and switchgrass are good. Brome is the least desirable, but still used when nothing else is available.

My understanding is that pheasants forever can only own land in a trust. So if a parcel is bought, often by multiple groups i.e. PF, DU, local Sportsman's clubs, private individuals, they all pool money together, buy the parcel, PF holds it in trust for a limited time (seems 3-5 yrs is common)...

Fixed it for you. There was a corner of Coddington in there.

Go to the pay ranches. Thinner cover and the birds die easy.

South Dakota doesn't require any orange.

Shoot 1 1/4 ounce lead or bismuth at around 1330fps and you'll be good.

Both.

We were out in South Dakota and hunting a private farm. This is a rare luxury for me. We still needed a few birds to fill out. The old farmer told us of a public spot nearby, where a spring comes out of a hillside. He said, "that's where the birds go everyday to get their drink." On the one hand...

Back in the day 1220fps seemed like the most common speed of 12ga. lead game loads. That being said they've been shooting 1330fps for over 100 years. I think it's a case of "the goal posts have changed." With SOME of the newer shells pushing speed as a marketing gimmick, 1330 doesn't seem very...

Yes in South Dakota, too busy killing roosters to make any fairytale posts. Public is good, private is good. Ditches are good. All wild birds, never paid to hunt. Bought one old timer a nice gift for helping us out. I won't add any long-winded lyrical prose. I'll simply say I love pheasant...

The golden era of unposted land in ND was over years ago. The word was out and duck hunters from all over hell's half acre flocked to the state. More land is posted every year. This would be my take if going there. Scout online for public land, and plan on hunting a lions share of it. While in...

Many times in the early days and many times since, I feel like Custer in southern Montana with Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse just over the rise. My blunders, fails, and foul-ups are legion. Long ago I'd have capitulated, if not for one thing. On that rare day where I rise above the Neanderthal...

None taken. I've now been accused of being goose(few months back) and Limitless! I'm not goose because I don't shoot a 28, I never been to the high Canadian, never hunted with my cousin, and wouldn't be caught dead ever owning a ski boat. I'm not limitless because I've learned to shorten my...
