First few birds of the season. And a blazing sunset last night, with a rainbow to the east.

I thought they only needed to make it available, not provide it free of charge. I could be wrong though.

To be 100% clear, on this fine rooster shooting eve, all us non-South Dakota folks are jealous of the pheasant hunting you have there. We know you have it over us. You know you have it over us. Our only defense is a good razzing now and then. Good luck to all the hunters getting after 'em...

I guess I haven't been doing the ditch hunting the right way. Learn something new all the time.

How dare they have cocktails.

I always thought the Minnesota roosters were harder to harvest due to too many hunters chasing too few birds on too few lands, compared to South Dakota. But when a guy takes into account the genetic manipulation to handicap the SD birds, it all makes sense. Rumor has it, some folks in the fine...

People have been reporting that it works the same as bismuth for waterfowl so far. And ballistic gel tests allegedly show about equal penetration as bismuth, but not as variable in depth. I have an early run of Boss Copper #3, 3", 1 1/2 oz. Once their field testing device is approved, I will...

They can't help it. Buck fever, and all. (FYI, I am one, but I am recovering)

They sure release a ton of them in The Mount Rushmore State, don't they?? :p

Thanks for the tips.

Wait...you were sharptail grouse hunting by Duluth, or the ribs just happened to come from there?

That sounds like a good place. They own the cooking/cleaning building?

I should mention when I was younger, I never used hearing protection when hunting -- only when target practicing. I was gifted a Remington 300 ultra mag by my father 20 some years ago, and that is one of those guns you really don't want to shoot without protection. That's when I started using...

I don't know a lot of flusher guys using GPS collars and letting the flushers range. Would make for some dynamic situations. Good for keeping bird numbers up. ;) Just giving you a hard time. It is one of those things where the pointer crowd knows immediately it's about pointers, and we get a...

I hear south dakota excels when it comes to flare nares. Even let them mingle and breed with the pure blood birds. Although, at this point, are they really pure blood?

Knuckle dragging comes in handy when it comes to dragging a deer out. Less lifting needed.

Not common, but I'd rather have a fender bender than lose my dog. There are more wolves now than there were those 50 years. I've seen one deer hunting about 50-70 yards away a few years ago too (yet another forest from the 2 incidents last year). And that was several minutes after two shots...

Depends on where you are and what you are doing and how far away the dog is. If true, I got struck by lightning 2 times in a 9 day span, in two completely different forests, last season, and came very close to losing my dog. I should buy more lottery tickets. People should know the risks and...

On the way to "pheasant country"... They're trying.
