Spreading information about specific areas between those of us that are active on here, especially private ground probably has little effect on pressure. The thing you may not realize there are thousands of lurkers on here that never post but gather easy info. There was a post a couple years ago...

Bots don’t sleep

Pheasant stuffed with cream cheese and jalapeño Jam wrapped with thick applewood bacon. Homemade crab stuffed mushrooms with real crab. Pretty good meal to watch KU smack MU.

So a few years ago on here there was a thread that talked about a similar issue. It involved the owner of a hunting operation and the fact he had a group of guys hunting one of his properties without dogs. They shot many birds that they could not recover. Eventually they reached their limits but...

15 or so years ago we had many good hunts and shot limits frequently. Hunted there 5-6 years ago and it was just ok and there were a lot of hunters for late season. All I can say is you better like gnarled cattails. There are spots there I am sure that the birds have never been shot at. Miles...

I am sure Goose has some recommendations for you…….

The first pheasant I ever shot was a hen. I was 12 years old and it was the first time my dad took me to western Kansas with his buddies. It was opening weekend and there were 7 or 8 of us and several dogs. Opening morning first field was wheat stubble. We got a few in the stubble and at the...

I am in sales and have been for a long time. Most landowners ( other than corporate) care a great deal for their land and the future of it. If they are leading out with the money, that will always draw suspicion. It needs to be more of a holistic approach of this is how we are going to do our...

I remember being in Blunt South Dakota about ten or so years ago. When yo come from out of state and only have 3-4 days the weather really doesn’t matter. One day it was about 25 degrees and the sustained winds were 30+ with 40+ gusts. The birds would get up and struggle to get altitude then...

I suspected it was sick. Damn dog will pick up anything.

A couple weeks ago my dog brought a dying snow goose back to me when I was in South Dakota. I left it for the coyotes after killing it

As I have gotten older my eyes aren’t what they were. That said I also will not shoot until I am 100% sure as killing birds isn’t as important as it once was. I know I have passed on many birds I couldn’t be sure on, particularly when the sun is in the wrong spot. I used to hunt with a guy that...

How could we possibly not get your point?? BTW you’re wrong. SD is good partially because of the pay hunting. Where do you think all those birds are wintering, roosting or eating? SD realizes what a cash cow hunting is for the local economy. If you take all of that away and farmers decide to...

In good times milo was king in parts of Kansas especially adjacent to some grass. Both Quail and pheasants love it. You don’t see much north of Nebraska. You don’t see 1/4 of what you used to see in Kansas

So since this is Iowa I will share this again. I am kinda a hunting whore, if you say you have some private land I will give it a whirl at least once, regardless of your personality. So myself and a buddy joined a business connection and his buddy in Central Iowa maybe 25 years ago. He bragged...

This. You can’t fix a hunting issue while hunting. It gets fixed by repetition while training.

Since you have experience, what type of music do they prefer? Jazz, R&B or old Rock?

Ha I forgot about that one.. thanks for posting it. Several years later and my dogs are still doing the same shit😂

So I would consider myself a fairly ethical hunter. I don’t shoot or catch more than my limit. I Don trespass, in fact I will count a lost bird in my daily limit. My last lab was an occasional hen catcher, particularly in snow. I got to where I could figure out when he was on one. His did kill...
