    The good.. the bad…and the ugly

    That’s her favorite spot. I haven’t had a female for 30 years. She can be quite independent while still being affectionate on occasion. My males always seemed to be more clingy. Can’t wait to get out again

    2023 Iowa bird hunt pics and/or stories

    Probably nicked her tongue, those suckers bleed like crazy. My last lab had an extremely long tongue and actually bit completely through it. By the time I got him the vet it had stopped and he suggested no stitches. He lived his life with a notched tongue. Glad yours wasn’t too bad

    Do you or don’t you tip housekeeping?

    It is amazing at times but I don’t know why I’m surprised. If my dog took a piss on the carpet I would go find someone, apologize and offer to clean it up. I saw two spots, and my dog stopped at the baseboard several times sniffing hard and I suspect there was more. All of this helps to...

    Do you or don’t you tip housekeeping?

    Over the years I have spent many a night in a hotel while hunting. While I try not to trash the rooms, after 3-4 days of hunting they can get pretty dirty between boots and dogs. The motel this last week was pretty full. I saw a couple dogs pee on the carpet in the hallway, I can’t imagine what...

    The good.. the bad…and the ugly

    I know right?? I wasn’t short of breath at all. Raven had a good hunt and is starting to figure it out. She raced by me once then slammed on the brakes and did a 180 looking at me about twenty yards in front of me. She didn’t have time to do a full point and honestly I thought she was peeing...

    Iowa vs Kansas

    It is sheer greed. We had an awesome resource here and it has been squandered. I haven’t seen a turkey here around my place in awhile. I travel through up in your area a few times a month for work and see little of anything. I did see a rooster up there over the summer and about wrecked the...

    Iowa vs Kansas

    I don’t mind paying for a habit stamp, and I would pay more for a license in Kansas. I just really have little faith the money will be well spent. They are only interested in quantity over quality at this point here. Kansas is not a destination spot for upland anymore. Believe me they are all in...

    The good.. the bad…and the ugly

    I returned from a few days in SD . It was a spur of the moment deal with my oldest son. I broke a toe about 8 weeks ago and he wanted to get back into hunting after an 8 year hiatus getting a masters degree and starting a career/ family. I was finally feeling a bit better and thought I would...

    Hunter harassment walking road right of ways...

    Some years ago I was up by Aberdeen in December. We were on 14 heading south. It was getting late in the day on a Sunday. We were already limited and done hunting. We passed slowly by a tree belt and were marveling at all the birds on the road and in the ditch. We were rolling slowly and...

    Despite it all

    Good luck to you. I lost my dad at 18 but he instilled in me a passion for hunting and fishing that I still have today. Every year I think of him and the things he taught me when I was young, funny I have used it many times to be successful. It has become less and less about killing and more and...

    Early season thoughts

    I have been going to SD for at least 25 years. I have been in late October and thought birds were down a bunch, only to return in December and find hundreds if not thousands in a few days. It is impossible to know how many birds are there until the crops come out.

    Onx for SD

    Possibly that bird fell off one of those semi’s whizzing by on the “ freeway “. Maybe you scared them out when you were shooting at the trucks. 😂👎😂

    2023/2024 Pheasant Hunting Videos

    That’s awesome. I can definitely relate to the face plant. If I don’t go down once a day I’m not working hard enough. Three birds with two shells, now that’s making the most of it

    Looking for a thread on SD

    No I will message you. I am pretty discouraged as I believe it is not healing properly.

    I understand that, but if you’re not buying the pheasants but you are buying access to their property. The game is a bonus to the access. You don’t get your money back if you don’t get game
