    O/U with a Student Budget

    $500 is much better spent on a used than new gun, and much better spent on a semi-auto or pump than an over under. You can start getting a good, but unfashionable, O/U at about the $900 range.

    Opening Day in Kansas

    It's been so warm and dry, I've only been out once in KS. Hit my little lazy northeast honey hole. Put up some hens and a spectacular covey of bobs in a quick walk. This weekend with the snow...I opted for Iowa public instead of Kansas private. It used to be that if I was going to drive a few...

    2023 Iowa bird hunt pics and/or stories

    Love that Missouri fur grouse! The state is marketing pheasant hunting hard...too hard. The bird numbers seem decent for the last 3 or so years, but the habitat and access is not going to be able to sustain the DNR trying to pimp the hunting out this hard.

    Chokes for wild pheasants in a 16 ga. O/U

    I shoot Sk2/Mod in my main pheasant gun, which is a 16. I usually shoot bismuth 5s or 4s.

    Opening Day in Kansas

    I take a little heart in Iowa's recent turn around. They were at a lower nadir for pheasants than Kansas is now only a few short years ago, and that was from a much higher peak than even the best years in Kansas. So, positive change can happen. It bothers some people's sensibilities to hear it...

    Does South Dakota law enforcement use pheasant decoys?

    Look, some men need some authority figure to keep them moral, I guess. I'm not one of them. And I'm definitely not one who thinks the ends justify any means of policing. There are rules of engagement between cops and citizens in this country and there are good reasons why those rules have been...

    Does South Dakota law enforcement use pheasant decoys?

    I don't know, maybe do some police work? Should firefighters build houses with faulty wiring just to put them out when they catch on fire?

    Does South Dakota law enforcement use pheasant decoys?

    Like I said, I don't pay (most of my taxes) to cops to have them create crimes that otherwise would not occur. It's a disgusting practice and should be outlawed. If you lure someone into committing a crime you aren't enforcing the law, you are an accomplice.

    Does South Dakota law enforcement use pheasant decoys?

    Slob cops. Entrapment is un-American and the police who do it should be kicked in the ass and banned from police work. Disgusting practice.

    Hunter harassment walking road right of ways...

    ^^ This is the correct response. Bullies will bully until you stop them.

    Now all the govt has to do is ban foreign ammo

    Worshipping the false idol of "free" markets has consequences.

    Does South Dakota law enforcement use pheasant decoys?

    It’s probably a landowner trying to catch trespassers. Hopefully not the DNR. Cops should prevent crimes, or solve them if they happen, not create them.

    Birds up….

    % increases pretty meaningless if the floor is too low.

    Grant County pheasants?

    If I started hunting pheasants in 2017 in Oklahoma or Kansas I might have quit by now.

    Why do the wildlife folks cut every tree

    My god, that's sad. Looks like Texas hill country.

    Why do the wildlife folks cut every tree

    I've been. It's not a great supporting argument for "pheasants need trees to survive".

    Why do the wildlife folks cut every tree

    I've hunted both extensively. Kansas is at historic lows and MN still hasn't caught up, in part because...you guessed it, Kansas has a much more extensive range of relatively treeless prairie, and hence, more pheasants. I do agree that the best parts of Minnesota are going to have more abundant...

    Why do the wildlife folks cut every tree

    Is that half loaded with pheasants or nah?
