This makes a lot of sense. Perhaps the best rational I've heard for being as quiet as possible, and avoiding continuous noise (beeping, talking, etc.).

I find my dogs tend to range further on really windy days if the situation dictates hunting with the wind. Can't always get the perfect situation with the wind in your face. Prefer hunting into it or at least having it coming from the side whenever possible.

Thanks for sharing. Frankly, I'm amazed that you found six roosters in Colorado.

I am as quiet as possible (no slamming doors, no yelling, quietly loading shotguns, trying to keep the dog whining to a minimum, etc.) and I like hunting with others who do the same. However, the idea that yelling "Hen!" botches a hunt seems silly. As Remy noted, once you fire your first shot...

That’s great to hear. Headed out tomorrow and Tuesday. Hoping for a similarly good report…

$3.89 in northern Colorado today. $3.62 at Sam's Club though.

I'm selling a very lightly used pair of Irish Setter 9" Wingshooter size 10.5 D Men's Boots that my son hunted in 3 times last season. The boots were purchased new in Sept. 2022 are in excellent condition, and were treated with Red Wing Neatsfoot Oil leather cream after every use. I'm only...

Nice! Great see some success in NE! Well done.

Despite a tough opening weekend, we headed out the week of Thanksgiving to an area much further south and east than we'd hunted before. It was a gamble, and the cover was limited and thin but we managed to find roosters. The weather was great when we left home and the forecast looked good for...

Nicely done! Great hunt, great footage. It's been really tough in Colorado so to see you bag a limit late season is VERY encouraging.

I would agree with the previous post regarding the SW and the panhandle. I walked a LOT of miles this season and ended up with a few birds. Saw a lot of hens, which I find encouraging but roosters were few and far between.

@remy3424 CO does have pheasant hunting but it’s been worse (public land anyway) than NE the past few years IMO (drought, little real CRP, everything cut to nothing, etc.). Plus, there are far fewer hunters in western Nebraska than there are in eastern Colorado in my experience. If I’m gonna...

We didn't run into any locals to ask but these areas are a good hour+ from the nearest sizable town so I don't think they get heavy pressure but I could be entirely wrong. That said, we've never even seen any other hunters on the properties we hunted on this last trip. We did a trip over...

Though it goes without saying, it's been a tough season thus far. My wife and I were unable to make opening day but we hunted the two days following the season opener (Sunday/Monday). We were in the panhandle, and had our sights set on a few locations where we had done well in the past. The...

My wife hunts in OR gaiters (Rocky Mtn. High) coupled with Irish Setter Wing Shooter boots and loves the set up. Was a game changer for her.

Here's some more good info from ID Game & Fish: https://idfg.idaho.gov/old-web/docs/hunt/TrappedPetBrochure.pdf And: You can buy a specially made tool that is purpose-built to release conibear traps: https://www.southernsnares.com/products/trapper-rons?variant=42124933838 and they come in...

I love the parts of this thread that have nothing to do with the actual price of gas because it heartens me to know that I'm not the only one who doesn't like what's going on in this country.

The forecast does not look great but we are headed to Nebraska on Friday for the opener. Our 3 yr old GWP is ready and we’ll have our 5 month old GWP in tow. I’ll post a report when we get back. 🤞
