    Brood sightings?

    SW Iowa saw 2 separate broods 2 weeks ago of 4-6 birds. Larger than I expected, so must have been an early hatch. I expect it could be another 2-3 hatch year this year.

    Hunting Boots

    Another pronghorn guy here. I prefer the uninsulated boot myself, but comfort and support are top notch. As BuckEye mentioned, snoseal at the beginning/middle/end of season and they have been bullet proof.

    South Dakota Guide

    Jarrod Fredricks...South Dakota fishing guide has farms that he allows DIY hunts on. Not sure if there's a minimum or not, but he's a top notch guy around the Estilline/Lake Poinsette area.

    10 Day Hunting Trip

    I did not get to hunt much at all this year due to a big project at work that consumed most of my time. Two weekends is all that I was able to sneak away, which sucked. For this season I plan on hunting much much more...and would like to venture out of state. I would be willing to trade a hunt...

    Long Distance Traveling for Birds

    I too am looking into this. I have multiple hotels within an hour that are under $100/night but am looking for flexibility when with just the dog. The neighbors have a GeoPro camper that is fully "off grid". Solar panels/heated tanks the whole 9. I've found them used for right at...

    Final Rise, Chief Upland, Marsupial, Q5

    Looked at all of them and settled on www.huntredi.com and absolutely love it. It gets better and better the more it is worn. I was skeptical of spending $300 on a vest, but it was money well spent.

    Rainy Day Shotgun Under $500?

    I too have an ultralight and when it rains/snows the camo Franchi gets the nod. I've got a intensity auto loader with a 26" barrel that shoots awesome and is bomb proof in the elements...just not as pretty to look at.

    New strap vest

    I attended Pheasant Fest this past year and too was in the market. It was nice to be able to see them all side by side and compare. I ended up going with a Hunt Redi vest...and while not cheap either ~$330...it was far and above the rest IMO. Pyke, Chief, Tenzing... compared them all side by...

    Roads

    Hunted Iowa all of my life. Level B "minimum maintenance roads" are best left un traveled after any precip until either they dry out or freeze. If they're frozen and it is supposed to get 35 or above with sun you better make sure you're on them before that top layer thaws out, they turn into an...

    Where would you go?

    What are your expectations? I could get you on some ground in Iowa and would be able to hunt with you. No limits promised, but all wild birds. Might shoot 10 or might shoot 40 depending on crops. PM me if interested.

    OR (Outdoor Research) Gaiters

    Gaiters are awesome. You can't really go wrong with anything OR. Another option for those looking that are of equal quality are the Kenetrek gaiters. Amazon has them for basically 1/2 off right now, too.

    What size ruffland kennel?

    50-60 intermediate is more than adequate. I've got the large for my 90# lab and its almost too big but the intermediate was too small. He fit fine in the intermediate when he was 65 lbs but quickly outgrew it. Had to sell for the large.

    Late Hatch Birds

    I have seen 3 hatches this year around where we hunt. Two weeks ago we saw a brood with chick's the size of a baseball. Should be a good year!
