Here is that video I saw. The BOSS shotgun shell guy comes on at about the 14 minute mark. They are coming out with copper shot soon and it is a USFS approved non toxic shot. They are a direct to consumer company.

"Non-toxic shot is required for hunting waterfowl and coots. Hunters may not use or possess nontoxic shot larger than size number T (0.20 inches in diameter) or use or possess any lead shot while hunting waterfowl and coots. The only shot approved as non-toxic by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife...

I can't find it now, but a video came up on my facebook about bismuth ammo. I cannot find it now so am going off of memory here: China and some other Asian countries have halted the export of Bismuth. The price went from 4-5 dollars per pound to 40 or 50. It has settled at about 20. This...

Iron Range?

I am kind of shocked by the number of low-brass empties I come across while hunting. When I see my dog put all she has into a hunt there is no way I could look her in the eye and tell her that I went cheap on shotgun shells.

I am not a big fan of extending the season. It would lead to pushing hens as well as roosters out of good cover right before dark with cold/stormy weather moving in. If we had a severe winter in January, would it lead to road hunting stressed birds looking for some grain or gravel along the...

There was one north of Bismarck on Sat. Yesterday there was one near Scranton and mention of one near Wyndmere.

I tend to stick to areas where deer hunters are less likely to be and places where I can see and be seen. I check with my landowner connections to make sure I don't screw anyone else up on private land that I have permission to hunt. Regular firearms deer hunters only have a couple of weeks...

It has been slow to warm up but we have had regular rain and no big snowstorms. Williston was on the dry side and I see they got recent rain also. Things are greening up nicely. There seems to be a decent number of birds around.

North Dakota does not allow party hunting. If people are actually hunting together it is difficult to know who exactly shot what bird.

I have mot patterned the ones in my 20 but they did seem to perform well. I have a set of non-ported for my 12 ga 725 Feather and they did pattern better than the factory tubes.

I got the same gun a year ago. I used 2 3/4" Federal Premium 1oz 5's. They did good for me. Later in the season I put Federal blue box 3" 5's in the second barrel. They did well also. I run Briley ported chokes in light modified and improved modified.

What a tragic situation. About 15 years ago I hunted with a guy who had a Lab with all kinds of titles. That dog did not retrieve without using the e collar. I will take my imperfect dogs that are out there enjoying themselves over that any day of the week.

Sorry, my bad. I read it wrong.

Did you read the original post?

I have just done a version of Fajitas. Just put the Pheasant breast, onions, peppers, and fajita seasoning in a crock pot. The meat will just shred and put it on tortillas with cheese, sour cream, salsa, and whatever else you like.

I moved away from MN to ND about 19 years ago. When did MN go to allowing only 3 shells in a gun for upland hunting? A friend of mine there did not know this. I noticed it a couple of years ago when I had license for all season and thought about trying for Pheasants when I was around at...

The first couple of weeks were great and showed a lot of promise, lots of young birds. Things never did seem to recover after that snowstorm on Oct 23? (13" or so). I think we may have lost some birds in that storm. I seemed to have shot a higher proportion of old birds afterward. They did...

I like it. Early season birds are better than late season birds. I like to make fajitas or deep fry strips.
