    2021 Season

    Went for a Saturday morning hunt with the boy in hopes of him getting that elusive first rooster, boy there was a crap ton of hunters out! Thankfully my brother in law had some private land spots and we moved a few birds on those, no shots on the first one... but then - on the second one, we...

    Impact of fatigue on shooting

    I dont normally call BS, but I LOL at that one. I run for distance and can tell you that you didnt "hunt" at 4 miles per hour. That is a steady light jog man! ^^^ Either your watch is off or you arent right with your times

    Weather!!!!

    I will be heading out for a quick 3 dayer tomorrow morning, sounds like the wind will not be TOO crazy. Gonna bring my 14 yr old kid and 71 yr old dad, we were hoping for a little more mild temps but what do you do. Hopefully the boy will score his first rooster this year!

    Roadside Survey

    Its out. And damn, its not encouraging (of course). Looks like all the areas I hunt are down, some dramatically. Down 25%

    Minnesota combo?

    You can definitely do it in the same day, with a ruffed and a pheasant. Only about an hour drive or less. Shoot me a PM if you want a general area

    2021 RINGNECK OUTLOOK

    Here's what I saw as far as conditions go from a West to East trip across SD from the Black Hills area home to central MN. Black Hills are very lush and green. The grasslands arent doing too bad. Get to Chamberlain and the crops look really good, grass is green. Get about to Plankinton and...

    Rest easy my friend, a tribute to Wyatt

    Thank you all for your kind wishes and responses. The wound is still very fresh, but we are working through this. We got his cremains back yesterday so he is home. That is somehow comforting, and the little bush/landscaping I put in helps a little. Just one more pic of the 2 stooges

    Rest easy my friend, a tribute to Wyatt

    This might help me deal with what happened and it might not. Theres only one way to find out. I might not even hit submit on this but lets see. The past 2 days have been incredibly tough and I need to just put something down. Through this site, I became the proud owner of my first dog...

    Pheasant sightings

    Ive shot a bunch of deer in my life already, so when my 13 yr old shot his buck opening morning, it wasnt a hard decision to forego the 2nd weekend of deer camp to take him out to SD pheasant hunting. (FWIW it was awesome). Plenty of venision in the freezer yet as of now.

    One thing you learned

    I have learned that time spent in the field is not wasted. Memories of 2 roosters flying by my parked truck while sitting in it with my son - and then looking at each other wide eyed, like "Lets go get em"! Hunting with friends and family is better than hunting alone, you have alot better...

    Rate your 2020 season

    Agree ^^^ SD was a real treat this year, there was little debate. Minnesota on the other hand, was.... Fine. like gimruis, I found the extra hunters really decreased the quality of hunting here in MN. Giving SD a 9, and MN a 4. Maybe I didnt give it enough of a chance but the handful of...

    Extended season?

    I could look this up, but.... you guys are all knowing. Does SD still have a deal that if you buy your license XX days before the season closes you get your second 5 day hunt forwarded to next fall?

    Interesting info on MN DNR and state of land use

    ^^^ Except they don't get caught until years later and there can be lengthy legal battles that can cost MN taxpayers more money because of it. This is a no win situation from the side of enforcement. The buffer enforcement is easily seen from the road, that 3 acre pothole that was there (or...

    Shooting High

    Another little tip perhaps, is to emphasize "leaning into" the shot. Getting 70 / 30 % of your weight on the front foot helps you barrel down and reduces that recoil. I drill that into myself when shooting clays

    The Odyssey - An epic tale of man versus nature

    I'm suprised you ended up with RICK, after a 540 spin I would have been too dizzy to hit em! (with the rage broadhead of course)

    Trip report Dec-9-13

    Ok finally have everything put away, cleaned up, and can start to stretch my muscles without wincing in pain ;) Day 1- 3 of us drove out with 2 dogs and it was warm! Like mid 50's, and dry as heck. We did some road hunting and scouted around, hit some low areas and picked off 4, then...
