    How About The Weirdest, Strangest Thing you've Seen/Experienced While Hunting?

    Twice while field hunting geese in eastern ND, we had coyotes attack goose decoys. Both got loads of steel 2's rather than a goose dinner...

    How About The Weirdest, Strangest Thing you've Seen/Experienced While Hunting?

    What, and interrupt my deer hunting? Nope, I wondered what in the hell I just saw and hunkered down until shooting light... I have wondered if I didn't see some kind of anti-satellite weapon or drone test? For sure it looked like the first was trying to avoid the second. Doesn't explain...

    How About The Weirdest, Strangest Thing you've Seen/Experienced While Hunting?

    OK guys. I have had a number of weird experiences over the years, but what I saw during Firearms Deer Season in 2019 is by far the most inexplicable. If you read read my post on Sweet 16's thread, I described my favorite spot to glass deer during Firearms Season down in the SW corner of ND...

    How About The Weirdest, Strangest Thing you've Seen/Experienced While Hunting?

    When I was 8 I was hunting rabbits along the tracks in Fairmont, MN with my BB gun when I flushed a hen that was climbing to go over the packing plant building and didn't quite clear it. She flew right into the side of the building about 2 feet from from clearing it and fell down stone dead. I...

    How About The Weirdest, Strangest Thing you've Seen/Experienced While Hunting?

    OK, this is an extension of Sweet 16's thread on the coolest thing you've seen while hunting. I'm asking what the weirdest,/strangest thing you've seen or experienced while hunting (any kind of hunting)? If you've spent any substantial time in the field I'm betting you have seen or experienced...

    Cornerstone Gundog Academy

    I haven't heard of this program but every successful trainer I know follows a structured program, including myself. I was fortunate enough to have been mentored & guided by two pros when I trained my first lab so developed my program based on their teachings. Sounds like your program is like...

    Josey's First Hunt on Wild Birds - January 3, 2021

    The question is what level of training has she had to this point? Just as a point of reference, when I start a pup at 7 weeks old, it takes 16-18 months of training two 10-30 minute sessions a day (the session time increases as the pup matures and learns how to train) to complete the program...

    Cool stuff you see while hunting...

    Pulling cactus spines out of the Wrecking Crew's pads is a common part of upland hunting out here and I've idly wondered how coyotes deal with cactus. Finally got to see it first hand during Firearms Deer Season this year. I was down in the SW corner of the state glassing a basin from a hill...

    Various observations....

    Well said. I prefer to hunt upland alone (of course, with the Wrecking Crew) or one other proven hunter, and that list is short. Back in grade school when my report card had "doesn't play well with others" on it, I thought it was a good mark until my folks advised otherwise. It's still by...

    Another Season in The Books...

    Our season in ND ended yesterday. 2020 makes it 55 years since I bumped off my first pheasant (with a Daisy 1894 BB gun). It was 45 degrees, no snow, and windy, which other than the wind was a first for January 3rd up here for me. Bet we walked 5 miles yesterday for only 6 hens and 1 rooster...

    To sling or not to sling

    I have slings on all my shotguns (loop sling for the Citori as I won't put swivels on it). That being said, I almost always take them off & stow them in my vest when hunting so I have it if needed...

    What's in your vest?

    Snare wire cutter (a made for the purpose cutter, you can get them from trapping supply outfits), a Gerber Dime Multi-Tool ( small multi-tool perfect for pulling thorns, cactus spines, and, porkie quills), a length of light rope (can be used to open connibears, as a slip lead, a hasty sling if I...

    What do you guys do with the tail feathers?

    Might keep a couple of the longer ones over the course of a season, but they tend to get thrown out before Spring. Do the same thing with drake mallard curls...
