150 miles west of the Twin Cities puts you around Marshall, which is what some may consider the unofficial "Pheasant Capital of MN" so now I'm just confused where the good areas are 😂

The Nature Conservancy also does a lot of work up in the NW area for sharpies and chickens. Which is great. Bonus of all that work is the ample extra public hunting land that's not on any MN DNR website. Any Nature Conservancy land up there is open to public hunting IF the land was acquired...

Plenty of Sharpies in MN. Do some researching and you can find good areas. Attached is a picture after one walk at a spot in MN. Currently planning another trip up there this fall.

I look at an e-collar as a tool and nothing more. Can you train a dog without one? Absolutely. The same way that you can whoa train a dog without a training table. Most of my dogs training was done without an e-collar being worn. That said, the reason alot of guys train their dogs with an...

I toyed around with adding the LEER locker but decided against it. Seemed too much of a pain to pull down all the time.

Without completely hot spotting the areas I hunt, I've been hunting between south of Lac qui Parle and Worthington for a long time and have always done well. I hunt purely public land, so I don't have any private land recommendations however. That's a rather large area of course, but I've hunted...

Was he unhappy with the LEER or the overhead gun vault?

I imagine any place around there would be put and take/game farm joints. Morris is getting a little bit out of the core pheasant range. At least for a good quality hunt.

I put the same on my 2018 Silverado about 4 months after buying it. The ranchos they come with are garbage compared to the 5100s

Here's what I ended up putting together for an in field kit. Everything in the one picture fits nicely into the accessory pouch of my final rise vest, which sits on the side of the vest. Enough for some minor things to either keep hunting or to get back to the truck if more aid is required.

Yeah conservation wise, the DNR may need to decide what the priority is in that region. Chickens or pheasants. If they believe it to be a cause for population problems of course. They monitor the population there quite a bit so it may be an option should the population starts to get below their...

Chickens generally have a much faster wing beat than Pheasants. When they get up, their wings are really flapping but they also have a wing pattern that goes something like "flap flap flap glide, flap flap flap glide". The coloration is different, but they are similar to a hen. Chickens are a...

A raised top would almost be a requirement for me if I had a Tacoma haha

I don't blame you. I'd love to have a drawer system like that for hunting, but I use my truck for a lot of different things and need the space for other things around the house. Now if I could have 2 trucks, one rigged purely for hunting and another for work, you bet I'd have a drawer system.

I'm a big believer in you get what you pair for out of a pair of boots. For my heavy mileage boots, I'll splurge on a spendy pair. That's not to say I don't have cheaper pays around as shit kickers though. I have goofy feet and have tried alot of different boots and for whatever reason, my...

I got a LEER 100XR about 3 or 4 years ago and like it. ARE and LEER are pretty equal build quality wise but around here I got a better deal on the LEER. I kept the standard sliding side windows with the screens. For add ons I went with the carpeted headliner, mostly for condensation as I've...

I'm not sure when it opens up, I just know it closes August 16th haha it's usually sometime in July from my memory

Just did my prairie chicken application this morning. Fingers crossed

I'm working on putting together an in field dog first aid kit that would go in a small pouch on my bird vest. Curious what sort of things you guys use or recommend here. I already have a full on first aid kit that I got from Gun Dog Supply that has all the goodies in it, but that's obviously...

I'm hoping I can get picked this year too but I just got picked last year so I don't have any hopes for it. I'll probably head north into the sharpie zone for a few days this fall because I like hunting the prairie up there too.
