Got out and did some scouting yesterday in the SE part of the state. Drove around for about 4-5 hours. Pretty much every bean field I saw had been cut. Most of the corn still standing, but saw plenty of combines rolling. I'm sure there will be way less corn around when the regular opener gets...

Not sure about anywhere else, but the CO in ND made it clear that something like that didn't matter at all. He said that as soon as my wife was gone, her birds would be part of my possession limit and it didn't matter if they were labeled with her name, date harvested, license #, etc.

Can't say for sure about SD, but I did have a conversation with a CO in ND about it a couple of years ago. Long and short of it was that once another person leaves and his birds are still with you, they are now part of your possession limit. That was in ND, but I'm guessing that's about how it...

You left out the most important one of all.....no grab-ass!

I agree. Got my first Boykin a little less than 4 years ago. She wasn't just my first bird dog, she was my first dog of any kind. (I'm 57 yrs old) I knew nothing about training a bird dog (still don't) but I did know how to go hunting, a lot. So that's what we did, and she and I both learned...

I saw the same thing in Kansas a few years ago. It was a WIHA spot and someone had taken the white signs off the posts.

I'm on my 4th season of Garmin Alpha 10 and TT15 mini and I'm very happy with both. Added a new pup this year, so I got a TT25 and like it so far.

Welcome, make yourself at home:)

I hunted in SD last weekend, was restricted to the first 2-3 hours of the day due to high temps. Saw decent numbers of birds, but I don't have anything to compare it to because it's my first year going after sharpies and prairie chickens in SD. (Hunted sharpies and huns in ND the past 5 years)...

If he was wearing the big goofy hat from the other thread, while coaching soccer, even better!!

I saw a WIA in SD that looked exactly like that about 3 weeks ago. SE part of the state. :( No way I'd let my dogs anywhere near that.

I just checked and Rogers still has the Kent Bismuth upland 12 ga 2 & 3/4", 1 & 1/4 oz of 5's for $249 for 8 boxes. That's 200 rounds, so $1.25 a round. I've got a good supply of bismuth already, but I couldn't resist and ordered some back in the summer. Kinda surprised they're still...

I hunted without a dog for many years. Here's my tips- Don't take long shots. If you keep your shots around 35 yards and closer, you'll have a much better chance of birds hitting the ground dead. When my wife and I were hunting without a dog, what worked for us was when a bird was shot, the...

I'm a big Rizzini fan, I've got a Roundbody EM 28ga that I love. But one thing to know about the 16ga BR110 is that it's built on the 12ga frame. The other models like the Aurum, Artemis, Roundbody, etc are built on a 16ga frame. These models are quite a bit pricier, no surprise there. I like...

That's my answer too. My wife has the 28ga Ethos with a wood stock. Holy cow that's a sweet gun.

I second this motion :p

He's talking about sharptail grouse, and he's right that they're fairly easy to bring down. BB mentioned Hungarian Partridge being tough and he's right, they're tougher than sharpies even though they're about half the size.

Welcome! Head out west in a year or two and give it a try, you won't regret it!

I second the suggestions above. Sharptails aren't real tough, but they do tend to flush at long ranges sometimes. I have used 7&1/2's before, but I mostly stick with 6's now. 7/8 oz in 28ga, 1 oz for 16ga. When non-tox is required I use bismuth 6's. Not quite as effective as lead 6's, but...

My recommendation would be that if you're gonna hunt ND for the first time, go 3-4 hours further west/northwest. I know, when you're already making a long drive, adding 3-4 hours is easier said than done.
