    Franchi semi autos

    I had an I-12 I bought in college. I shot a lot of rounds through it and probably didn't take the best care of it. No complaints here.

    Your "Go-To" gun and why?

    I found my old Daisy Red Ryder the other day. It's so old now you can see the bb come out of it lol. But in its day no gun made a kid feel taller. Many a beer can met its demise down range of that beast. No bird, squirrel, or stray cat was safe in those old wild west days. The stories that...

    Preferred Hunt Start Time

    Was the origination of the delayed start for the birds?

    Pointer or flusher debate

    It's an issue for sure. I have to really try and keep them reeled in when in thick cover. I have definitely had birds flush out of range just because I couldn't get there in time. I've noticed the state I hunt mainly now has thick enough cover that birds seem to run more, which leads to some...

    Preferred Hunt Start Time

    Does anyone know the history of the 10 o'clock start in SD? I always assumed it was to give the birds a head start out of the roosts?

    South - Southeast SD bird numbers?

    The thought of "if I leave at 5am...." started on me yesterday and has haunted me all day today. The thought of this thing ending and the thought of hitting the road for one more day this year may just get the best of me before morning. Might just be "sick" tomorrow

    Goodbye '24-'25 Non-Season

    If it wasn't on private it's very very tough anymore. I spent almost $500 just in licenses to drive out of KS to go hunt another state this year. Next year will be the same except when I can get on private ground.

    South - Southeast SD bird numbers?

    Left you some and warmed up their legs for ya. If you want to send me your best spots I'll be sure to "avoid" them next year. 😎

    Preferred Hunt Start Time

    The first year in SD waiting for 10 o'clock seemed ridiculous and like it took forever. Now I love it. Get around at your leisure, enjoy some coffee and then get after it.

    South - Southeast SD bird numbers?

    Just got back from that general area yesterday. There's still birds for sure but like others have said they're educated and have their running shoes on. The depression sank in bad on the way home this trip, I was able to make six trips this year but I'm guessing this was my last for this year.

    Future of CRP ?

    I just like to know where the dollars go. I'll be the first to admit I quit donating to them for several years because I don't see where the dollars were going in Kansas. The last couple I have donated and this year they're into me for a chunk due to an auction deal at an FFA banquet. Where I...

    Future of CRP ?

    No I understand how they raise funds, I'm more curious of the allocation and usage of them, particularly when it comes to private ground.

    Future of CRP ?

    How does that work for private land? Are you just seeking advice? Are they charging you for trips to your place? And what assistance are they offering?

    Confusing fat?

    Here's what I've noticed. The one on the right is a KS bird and is representative of most I've ever taken here, some even have more fat but the same color. The bird on the left is from SD, shot in grass right next to corn and his crop was full of corn.

    Confusing fat?

    I've noticed it early and late season now. I'll take some pics when I get home as I have some still soaking. In this instance these were three of the bigger birds I've killed in SD. All were in areas where corn would be a high majority of their diet and they have little to no fat and its white.

    Confusing fat?

    Mainly the fat. I've shot pen raised birds in KS and they have that same fat. I don't think to check the beaks although I've told myself multiple times to look. We've also shot some small birds in the last few years but I attributed it to late hatches up north.
