I wish I could get my dog to carry my gun sometimes.

You're using the old, 'If you haven't committed a crime you have nothing to worry about' reasoning. In fact, it's much like a Gestapo officer stopping and asking to 'see your paperz'. Unless the state has given these officers the power to stop you for no discernible reason, then he shouldn't...

Who says it was a released bird? There are quite a few wild birds in that area.

Iroquois County, IL

ehudgens knows where this is.

Not necessarily true. We had a guy poach a monster buck on one of my farms about 5 years ago. Saw where he dropped the deer and where he dragged it and CO found where he shot from because he left a shell casing. Some digging around, talking to neighbors and looking and lo and behold, CO sees...

My local poachers The map in the linked story is basically where all my farm/hunting ground is. Some by Theresa, some by Kewauskum, Campbellsport and Lomira. Little bastages killed over 100 deer for no reason and probably far more than that.

I think there is a secret to being drawn, but I'm testing it out before letting it out.

Dog and I drink from the ditch. If it's good enough for him, it's good enough for me!

Had a wounded bird crawl down an embankment of a river (sheer dirt cutout) and into a hole. My old Vizsla eventually tracked him and it took everything he had to go on point, nearly upside down. I am convinced to this day that the bird knew that hole was there. I cannot for the life of me...

I did get invited to hunt one of these properties with a friend, whose been chosen 3x since I've known him (I have been picked zero times). Vinegar Hill just west of Earl Park, which is very near some of the private land I hunt currently. 106 acres but don't know if there is any water on that...

Both private land. I have friends in Iroquois Co, IL and friends with access to land in Warren, Benton, and Newton Co's IN. I usually only hunt one state at a time, but on this trip we hunted a spot right on the state line. Got one in IL and one across the road (same ditch but different states.)...

Wild Indiana Cocks. Cock on the right is from Indiana, on the left Illinois. Both taken the same day. A rare double!

I did the WI duck opener. It wasn't warm, it was HOT! But we bagged a few ducks, had a nice cookout in the woods, drank a few beers and had a good time.

For the 35th straight year I was not selected. I have never been selected. And I was not selected for the private lands hunt either. And did not get selected for the dove draw.

Boarhide with a good coating or Obenhauf's slides through thick stuff like a hot knife through cheese curds.

Are you guys pheasant hunting in standing water or something? I don't get it. Maybe walking the cattail marsh?

Speak for yourself. In WI I have so many damn turkeys they run the pheasants off the ground! I'm going out duck hunting this weekend (WI opener) and might try to pop a gobbler too. I know where they love to hang out. Trouble is getting close enough to shoot one.

Remove all lubes and re-lube with fresh. Packing grease is not the same as gun lube.
