There is a steakhouse(peanuts on the floor kind of place) thats behind the thunderbird lodge in mitchell, sd-great place to get a steak and beer while wearing "bird dog man attire".

    A few pictures of this last season!! I can't wait until next!

    Nice quail mount too- the birds look great! I don’t know about the cat tails and quail… that’s the other reason why I was asking. Do the quail utilize cat tails in your neck of the woods? I know pheasant do this but never heard of quail using cat tails.

    White Bass Ruined Crappie Fest 2022

    The spot lock is amazing tool. I got mixed feelings about livescope, I kinda wish it never existed to be honest. Fall is an amazing time to get after them ,

    Hearing protection

    Bird dude -I've been searching for the right hearing aids also. Not as easy as it sounds. I would use my old oticons but moisture would kill them pretty quick. I've had them on while shooting in the past and they baffle out gunfire really well. I had an audiologist (hunts and shoots) turn me...

    Good mess of quail-so fun! I've been raised on quail hunting. Since we haven't had a good hatch since '17, I've been focusing on other upland opportunities. What state are you in-looks a little cold!?

    White Bass Ruined Crappie Fest 2022

    Good stuff! Just got to find them-once you do, it'll be worth it! I've been on a roll for a solid month and a half now. I've always used SI to find crappie and mark piles but 2 weeks ago I added a 12" livescope up front. It's definitely makes things happen a little faster. During the off season...

    Kent Fast Lead

    For low brass, they sure are hauling the mail @ 1345 fps!! I’m going to guess that the amount of shot is lower- maybe an ounce or a tad over. How much shot is in them?

    Adding a Pudelpointer

    That’s exciting Dag! Let us know how he works out throughout the training process. I hear nothing but good about them too and I think it’s a great choice considering versatility required for upland and waterfowling in extreme conditions. Grats once again on the new addition!

    KsHunter- why don’t you tell us how you really feel about your doctor!🤣 Honestly, I’m sorry you had to deal with all that sh%%! I appreciate you sharing this with us-what you were feeling/dealing with. As hunters , we are all exposed to this every season and awareness is crucial. Super important...

    Ticks Are GROSS!!!

    you aint kidding about the chiggers!! I was on a deer lease years ago, 3500 ac goat and cattle ranch. I would maybe go once or twice during the summer months to check on my things along with hunt axis deer near waterholes early morning or late evening. I would sit under some huge live oak trees...

    The oddest thing you have had your dog point

    Oh -he knew about it, I related the story to him while we were chatting. He was amused but honestly couldn't give 2 sh#$$. We've been pretty good friends for many years. I have been on places where I had rules or orders, so to speak, of things not to let walk or absolutely let walk. I had a...

    The oddest thing you have had your dog point

    When my older gsp was 2 yrs old, I had a connection to hunt a cattle ranch in the rolling plains( north texas). We used to point many covies of bobs on this place. One cold, windy morning, she gets birdie right out of the truck . She bird dogged her way into a mesquite flat with high grass and...

    Where did all the WIHA go!?

    I was doing as I usually do in the off season when I’m bored. I’ll open up my onX or log into state public lands atlas- looking for anything new or just familiarizing myself with a new honey hole I may have found last season. Well, I just about had a heart attack when I opened up Kansas and saw...
