I hunt both sides of the border, sunrise in ND, sunset in sd. Started in ND on Friday. On one of my family's fields, we set up for ducks in ND and the birds tend to come from SD, just to give you an idea of how close to the border the family farm is.

Three guys over three days. Hunting 75% private. It's always fun shooting roosters, dog work is overall quite good. Rather surprisingly, our shooting was quite good. We let very few roosters fly away. It's a weird feeling coming back, it was a fun hunt, I just have a sinking sensation in my...

I honestly feel really bad for people making a long trip out. I hunt East River and I'm going to guess that public areas have effectively been cut in half due to grazing and haying. There just isn't much habitat to hunt. The public areas with habitat are going to get absolutely pounded, way...

I had a CZ over under for one season. Couldn't get rid of it quick enough. Both fit and finish were subpar. Hard safety and trigger. Poor fit for me. Spent a couple hundred extra bucks on a used 686 and I'd be happy with only ever shooting that gun. YMMV

In that kind of heat you're going to want to make sure you have vented pants because once you start walking you're going to be warm. Usually a thin upper layer and a thin windproof vest when I start out, this usually gets ditched in the first 20 minutes. My biggest issue is keeping my hands...

All I'm saying is that any self respecting outdoorsman keeps specific areas to the private messages.

You mean the counties? I don't think they list towns in the short or long roadside count. And I was specifically referencing the guy who gave a town/road/cardinal direction to a WMA that holds "lots of birds".

Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. A spot one hour from Minneapolis can get POUNDED when it gets listed online. At any given time there's 5 anonymous lurkers reading this for every registered member.

I HATE seeing town names listed. Keep it broad in the forum, save specifics for the private messages.

Big picture is clear, but the nitty gritty details can get confusing. For example, say I bring home 10 birds from SD, all legally taken and transported. When I get home, I quarter them up. Breasts go in one bag, thighs and legs in another. The breasts get cooked and eaten quickly, leaving just...

That's a pinned bird!

Hunting teal, I was very encouraged by what we flushed up. Best was a dozen birds in 20 minutes. Lots of birds flushing at zerodarkthirty. Pup pointed a rooster at 5 am, under headlamp could just make out the red around his eye. Small birds that didn't fly far. Also, birds flushing under your...

I really really wanted to get an a400, but just came across too good of a deal on an ethos 20 gauge. So far it shoots pretty good, still kind of getting the feel for it. I'm usually a mid-40s on sporting clays, and the first time out with that gun I shot a high 30s so I'm not sure if it's the...

You could maybe run a boot dryer off a deep cycle and inverter. No way you can run a crock pot though.

If corn stays $6+ and the sloughs don't fill up, we should get ready for a good deal of habitat loss. I remember the last time corn hit $7, every low spot got turned over and planted...and flooded out the following years. Let's just hope they reinvest their earnings in new tractors and...

Imagine having such a long running indicator of health of one of your largest income sources, and cancelling it because you don't like the numbers. Is ineptitude the right word?

How do they do on really windy days?

I would do that in a heartbeat. Maybe they could offer a 3 day, 1 week, and full season.

Those look like the same ones I use

I second what highvoltage uses. I'm on year 4 with mine, and they are still going strong. Use them every week during the summer for dog training. Only trouble is on really windy days, but that's life. They have replaceable foam inserts, and I've found that the comply tips work the best for me.
