    Indiana Quail

It's a very short season running about 6 weeks. In two hunts I have now kicked up 6 covey of quail both in NW IN and SE IN. I'm...

    Jeopardizing Future Opportunities

    Some people don't like hunting. I've asked one guy many times to hunt one little patch and always a no. I think he feels possessive of the wildlife that uses his property. So I hunt next door and kill his birds.

    How long

    At 61 I've never felt that at all. Just like to and can hunt, so I hunt as often as I can, which isn't very often. I also play golf and walk 18 holes (very hilly course.) Most of the guys my age ride carts. A couple older than me walk but not many. And I'm too short for my height!

    Dealing with stickers

    I'm in the exact same boat. Brittany after having 3 short haired dogs. Burrs and stickers suck. I went on Amazon and bought a battery hair clipper. told the wife, who also loves the dogs longer hair, that he was too hot running around and might have heat stroke and shaved his hair off so he...

    Odd Encounters...

    They were going to shoot you, steal your guns, money, dog and truck. Maybe steal the wife too.

    Here's a common report on any fakebook hunting page.

    Adult people go on Facepage? I thought everyone bailed when they got caught rigging the last election.
