    Transporting birds for others

    I would say as long as they are labeled and cleaned properly with the appropriate license, you should be ok there.

    Preferred/best pheasant shells?

    I've had ammo go bad on me. Turkey loads. It costed me a nice tom too. It was Winchester Longboard XR that was about 10 years old. I won't be using shells that are more than a few years old anymore now.

    Preferred/best pheasant shells?

    Not really sure why this was posted in the Minnesota thread. Regardless. I use Federal Premium lead in #6 shot. Either Prairie Storm or Wing Shok that's 1500 fps. I use an IC choke all season, all my shots are 30 yards or less.

    Road Signs and WMA Signs

    This is the sort of behavior that makes other hunters look bad. Either that or they are drunk, which is a terrible idea when firearms are involved.

    Advice on bird hunting trip to Grand rapids ,MN

    Jim, bear in mind that there is a 4 day youth/early anterless firearms deer season from October 16-19 so there may be some people hunting deer during those four days with firearms. You will need additional blaze orange during those 4 days when you are hunting. Just a FYI

    Rarely do I agree with Goose, but on this one I do. The breed and age of the dog does matter. But in general, that's too warm for me and my dog. Way too warm.

    Meat handling while traveling

    That's false. Bacteria grows at temps above 50. Exponentially, I might add. You go ahead and keep your fridge at 55 degrees. You'll be sick in 2 days. Violently.

    Start of Minnesota 2025-2026 season countdown

    Last season was the best I've had since 2018. The area I hunt is up 85% from last season according to the DNR. I'm skeptical that this year can be 85% better. My lab is 13.5 so we cannot hunt in warm temps. Has to be under 50 degrees. Last year I got 10 hunts in between mid November and the...

    Broods that are only 2 weeks old? Not sure I buy that one. It must be a misprint.

    New NW Iowa Pheasant Hunter

    I agree with Gladhunter above; the stop and go method works pretty well without a dog. I hunted without a dog for years before I was able to own one. Take 10 steps, pause, 10 more steps, pause. Birds will flush when you are standing still. Try to hunt thinner cover. Forget about cattail...

    Start of Minnesota 2025-2026 season countdown

    I can't imagine hunting in this heat. Grouse season opened today, as did deer archery. Completely miserable.

    Montefeltro or Ethos ?

    My monty holds 5. However, I keep my plug in the magazine because I don't like the added forward weight of those 2 added shells.
