My definition and use of the term: When I come acrossed good hunting "pockets" I'm referring to an area that the birds are in close proximity to each other based on the huntable size of a field that is bordering a small grain food source, a nesting or roosting habitat and a source of water...

Looking at the data, it appears that it contains some accuracy based on what I am seeing (and hearing in the mornings) in the counties surrounding me. However, the route in my specific county, was in an area that I feel had our lowest bird population as there it's not as much irrigation and/or...

It is easy to tell the "yokers" from the mature birds because they typically fly straight up, often have a lunging dog hanging from where their tail feather should have been. They also seem to hover and look around because of their lack of the survival instinct flight. It is pretty easy to pass...

Chickens are on my "bucket list", but I don't know the first thing about hunting them. They are not prevalent in our area, nor is their a season for them out west. I have looked at the Kansas map to see their concentrated area, but haven't pursued venturing aimlessly to that area. Good luck in...

I am constantly messing with my action to make sure it's closed when I carry my SBE 1 in the field. I've heard the click no less than 25 times since purchasing this gun new in 2003. 100% of the time when this happens, it's a rooster, it's in range, and seems like most of the time, it was always...

Sometimes, the calendar seems to roll over really fast and others times, the days, weeks, and months can't go by fast enough. It's hard not to get excited considering all of the near perfect hatch and brood conditions. The above average rainfall produced great nesting opportunities. Thousands of...

Great story, with a great ending! Thanks for sharing. The whole time I was reading this, I kept hoping you weren't carrying a Benelli and the story was going to end with the infamous "Benelli click" that has happened to me too many times! Please tell me I'm not the only one?!?

Sounds like lots of pheasants and chicks were seen in the "pockets" during wheat harvest. Of course, these are the same areas that have been rebounding nicely over the past few years. Ample rain, insects and lots of wheat stubble to offer good habitat. I'm optimistic that things will be good in...

I have a GearKeeper retractable clip. Keeps things tight to the body to avoid snagging when hunting but always handy to access when needed.

I'd be willing to purchase a few pellets, but due to added freight is mine to meet for a pick-up. If you will drop me a pin location at your favorite hunting spot, I'll come get them. Let me know what works in your schedule! 🤣 I'm still looking for the darn sarcasm emoji....

We try to always have 1 or 2 guns that most would want to own, but wouldn't spend their own money on it. The best example of this was the year for our "door prize" drawing, we gave away a Charles Daly Triple Crown. There is no way I would want to ever carry it in the field, but I would love to...

You should have told them to auction it off and you would split 50/50 of whatever it brought at the auction. I'd rather have cash in my pocket than a gun I don't want.

It came with 2 batteries, but not long. Maybe 45 minutes of total recording time each battery??? If it's cold, it is less. I see they make a large battery adapter, but I haven't look into it much because it's voice activated. If my dog gets "birdie", I can say "go pro on" when the action stops...

GoPro Hero 11 was a good addition to my "things I really don't need", but I enjoyed videoing a few solo hunts to share with close friends and family. What it is capable of is amazing. Within the editng feature, you can take still images by selecting frame-by-frame pictures off of the video. It...

This straw tip is great. I coach our high school trap team and it's so hard to see what the kids see. This may help with some of that.

Today was a great last day of the season. We started hunting at 10:15, and got skunked on our first spot. Not even a hen. The 2nd and 3rd spots were both disappointing and only shot 1 bird. Determined quickly as the temperature continued to rise, the birds were not in CRP next to grain. The next...

I hate to hear this. This was the best year of hunting I've had in at least 6 years, maybe longer. I don't take my connections and private land access for granted, but I shot 10-15 birds on public land alone. It's tough for an outside guy to get permission but I know lots of landowners that...

The hope you don't mind some viewer feedback. Please don't interpret that I am a better shooter or I don't ever get the "yips", because I do and I have to remember to go back to the fundamentals. From what I see in your video is you led one bird too far and another you shot behind it. The last...

Worked well - 3" 20ga Prairie Storm - had very few crippled or lost birds Didn't work well - the "rear sight" on my shotgun wasn't always reliable

I had to go look at them to make sure I know what I have. You are correct, they're not Pronghorns. They are Frontier Extreme's. Sorry to be spitting out false information. Still good boots, and in my opinion, irreplaceable!
