I was in SE SD and drove through NW Iowa to get back home.

Not good, we saw birds. Still a lot of corn up in the area we were hunting. First day I had a $500 vet bill after my older dog got into a barbwire fence. Buddy I was with left the next day because his dog was having health issues that they hadn’t figured out till after he got home. Needless to...

NW Iowa

It was in NW Iowa

Not sure how this spot continually creates so many birds, but every year for the past 4-5 years we have put up anywhere from 75-150 birds on the sunday of opening weekend. I have some friends that hunted this spot last week two days in a row and they said they had numerous flushes of 20-30 birds...

Went out this past friday on my way back home from a SD trip that was cut short. Hunted 2 spots first thing in the morning, saw a lot of birds leaving the field at 7:30, heard them around 7:45 and then nothing when we walked the fields. Driving to my next spot that produced well over 100 birds...

Looking to sell a brand new never shot SX4 Upland 12GA 28" Barrel. Won it at a PF banquet last year and I don't shoot a 12GA anymore, only my 20's & 28's. Retail on it at scheels is $1129 plus tax so over $1200 out the door. Looking to get $1000 for it. Local pick up only as I don't want to deal...

Any state school land you can hunt, asked the question about cattle years ago with a CO and he stated that even though the cattle are out there the 650ft rule didn't apply because it is state ground. He said you may run across people that run their cattle on the state ground and they tell you to...

Give it a month or so and the hunter numbers will decline, especially once the weather turns cold and nasty. Best time to hunt is december when we get snow on the ground and things freeze up!

A400 28ga shooting Boss #4's in 2 3/4" and Boss #5's in 3" out of my A400 28ga upland

I've got no issues shooting my 28 all season on birds. 28's are easily effective out to 40+ yards and I shoot boss #5 bismuth.

3-5 depending on who shows up 4-6 labs, again depending on who shows up SW MN Beretta A400 28ga - #5 Bismuth Public Land Cloudy lows in the 20's high's in the 30's Some type of IPA or a Captain Coke

Myself and a couple guys I hunt with all have the Orvis Pro LT hunting pants and have nothing but good things to say about them. They are a bit spendy at around $180-200 but I have had my first pair for 3 years now and they look like they can easily go another 5-7 years without issue.

I have 2 pairs of kenetreks and most of the guys I hunt with all have kenetreks or crispi for boots. They do take some getting used to especially if your used to wearing irish setters/danners boots like that. The kenetreks and crispi's are a mountain boot and are stiff and will take some walking...

Just returned from a scouting trip in the area we hunt, the last couple of years all the CREP land in the area was hayed or grazed 100%, this year it looks like everything was either left alone or if it was hayed it was only 50% so that's promising for the upcoming season. Did see a lot of birds...

Beretta A400

#5 bismuth out of my 20ga & 28ga with IC all season

Both 2 3/4 & 3" out of my 28's. I've got a 2 3/4 A400 and the new 3" Upland A400 I bought early last season. No issues shooting birds late season with either.

I shoot Boss and the guys I hunt with all shoot Boss and we love it, none of us have anything bad to say about it. I shoot a 20 & 28 all season on birds and have no issues even late season taking down birds with my 28ga.

Exactly! We never have allowed the use of CC's for raffle tickets, but we did in the past allow CC's to be run for cash at the door. This is still a grey area but sounds like we can still do it?
