    Harvest already starting

    I can't imagine there's going to be a mad rush to harvest this season, looking at the price. Corn has gone from about $5/bushel close to $4 since May. Soybeans aren't any better. I'm not economist so I can't comment on specific reasons, but record yields and harvest are predicted, creating a...

    The more people I meet, the more I like my dog.

    How many of you let birds go?

    Shocking, another bull shit statement by goose that makes you wonder wtf he is thinking. Guy should have been banned from this forum years ago. Shooting a hen is literally poaching.

    Time sensitive: Need vet that can do a medical termination of pregnancy for a dog in Minnesota or upper midwest

    Yikes. Hope you find what you're looking for. That is crazy. Bob Barker comes to mind here.

    What’s the best food?

    My lab is a 4-legged garbage disposal. I could feed her just about anything and she would still be hungry. She doesn't even hardly chew her food. She just inhales it right into the bottomless pit like a pelican.

    I think I am done with this thread. Can't reason with some individuals. You guys hunt how you want to and I'll hunt how I want to. Good luck this season.

    How many of you let birds go?

    I don't make any of those noises mentioned. Literally, none of them. It's a factor I can control, so I am going to control it. Limiting the amount of noise I make while I'm deer, turkey, or pheasant hunting is a big part of what I am trying to do out there. Unnatural sounds tip off game...

    How many of you let birds go?

    A lot of people here hunt public land and late season roosters aren't dumb. The single most important factor is how much noise you make. The only noise you should be making is when you pull the trigger. You wouldn't yell DOE! every time a female deer came past your stand either.

    Stop yelling hen or rooster. Great way to announce your presence to the entire countryside that you're there.

    What’s the best food?

    That's not half the cost. So that can't be it. Dog Chow is pretty cheap and made by Purina. He might be thinking of that one.

    How many of you let birds go?

    I've never shot a hen. Ever. I've pheasant hunted for 25 years and no one with me has ever shot a hen either. If you are shooting hens, you do not belong in this. If you cannot tell its a rooster, you do not shoot.

    How many of you let birds go?

    And if there's no color or spurs, how would that be done? Not like birds have plumbing between their legs like mammals do. If you cannot prove it's a rooster, it's a hen. If you say to an LEO "it cackled so I shot it" but there is nothing beyond that to show any distinction that it's a...

    Newbie to hunt tests.

    Forgive me but what is a "hunt test?"

    How many of you let birds go?

    Not sure that a game warden would buy that if you were found with one that "cackled" before you shot it. You need to prove that it's not a hen. If there is no color and no spurs, an LEO isn't going to buy that you heard it cackle as evidence of it being a rooster. I need clear visual...

    2025 August Roadside Survey

    Pretty absurd TBH. Wasn't expecting some areas to be up this much. Pheasants can really proliferate if they have good nesting and reproductive conditions.

    Moving to Minneapolis area help

    Sometimes it's downright remarkable how much cooler it is compared to the rest of the state too. I'll see a temperature map in the middle of July when 95% of the state is sweltering hot/humid, and then the area immediately near Lake Superior is 67.
