Going to bust a few clays when it isn’t 104 outside! Been walking 4-5 miles every morning with the dogs. Once it cools down a bit, I’ll staunch em up a little in the field. Honestly, ready to go and counting down.
As long as your female isn’t in heat- you shouldn’t have any issues. If you do out of state trips every year, I recommend having 2 dogs. One just isn’t enough
Crispi’s, on their 4th season. Most I’ve spent for upland boots but they are the best boot so far! I still wear my browning kangaroo leather moc- toes every once in a while during the early season.
i'll be up there too....as soon as it gets cold again.
Bob-you oughta try conditioning your dog to come or sit on "vibrate" mode on your collar. I bet he'll turn a corner sooner than you think. Anyway-a day in the field with the dog beats sitting at home everytime! Glad you got out.
A bird hunting buddy of mine who has never been to Iowa ever killed a limit before noon on public this morning.( I talked him out of going to Kansas this year- I don’t think he’ll want to go back!🤣)
Just got back home from ND. Covered a lot of miles- birds were “spotty”. We were in them or we weren’t- staying mobile was the key. Saw a lot of birds no doubt- had some long 400 and 500 yard races. LOTS of Huns- hunting them in October is not the same game as September! They had our number...
I just bought 4 boxes fiocchi last week- lead was $15/box. The steel fiocchi which I’ve never shot before was $17/box. I started loading up on steel as I plan to hunt a fair amount in Iowa this year- not sure if I’ll go to Kansas at all after the opener this year.
Lol-2-3 feet isnt enough?? are your birds right out of the freezer-maybe if you open their wings a little when they thaw out might help a little.:unsure:
