Google says MN started in around July 17, 2023. Have not seen one around me yet, but if they are aligned with Cub - I never will.

You carry your WI licenses on a plastic card (same size as a credit card). DNR officers scans the card to see if you are appropriately licensed. ND - you can carry your license on the phone. ND wardens can pull your license up on their laptop in the cab of their pickup. ND you can get your...

The link was not showing the actual or correct results last year. It appears the DNR may have abandoned the online link to check license draw success and gone with straight mail only ? It is simply amazing on how poor and far behind MN is on anything computer related.

Mallard Island is fine, but it is not pheasant nirvana. We did well though and it used to be on a weekday you would probably have the place to yourself.

Moisture on the grass during brood counts drives them to the roads to dry off. Severe drought results in less insects. Small chicks need protein.

:cry: Could be worse I suppose it is not really, really cold. Hens in areas where there is not a lot of grasslands tend to nest in low lying areas that can be prone to flooding. The hope is the early spring did in fact trigger a few hens to start a bit early - sounds like nater is seeing...

Lots of small ND towns (many with a rather old average age population) reaching out to neighboring small towns for help only to find that they are a mess too. Barns, Ransom, Griggs, Cass, and Steele counties hit the hardest. Not really pheasant country, but I am pretty sure I have killed...

You only fire two or three rounds per day, right ;) I would go by the gun that fits you best carrying, lifting to mount on shoulder, and how it mounts to your body when shooting.

My vet has competitive prices on heartgard and nexgard. I suppose a bit more, but only if I really shopped around. In addition - those meds are supposed to require a vets signature. The product rebates automatically apply to the upfront cost of the medicine (I do not touch a form). I am a...

Mid-June has been a bit on the cool and wet side. Not a great start as the nests start hatching.

When I used to duck hunt a lot I pretty much moved to drake mallards only. Drake duck of another species may get shot if the limit is constructed that way. Others shot the first six ducks they legally could take. Pheasant hunting - there are sometimes when I am taking a photo of a bird...

Think of a generational farm with a couple of younger next gen farmers or father - adult son (or daughter) looking to expand. Cash rent becomes the only viable option ? Some of the land price escalation is due to investment groups buying land. … Similar to what is going on with single...

Maybe one option for new pointing dog owners is to attend a weekend workshop. Smith Brothers travel the US. They have been training Britts for a very long time

I agree Britts are pretty soft tempered with people and you can certainly make them timid or reluctant with aggressive or forced training methods. Do not equate that behavior with their intense ability to hunt and find birds.

My current youngest Brittany learned to whoa on walks. Learned it well after just a week (walking almost daily). Sometimes I have 3 Britts on the walk ... say whoa ... they all still freeze. My 15-year-old sometimes looks at me "saying" what are we doing ? They hold whoa until I release...

Wow - sorry to hear this. Glad they caught it early.

Side note: Dog in the photos above is still alive at 15 years old. Retired her after her 12 years old season.

Grand Rapids and Iron Range area. Wolves displace bears. Bears also get hunted ... wolves ... not so much legally anyways. Locals in the Arrowhead region ... I am pretty sure abide by the don't ask don't tell.

I tend to believe your vet on NexGard. I may see a tick or two on my dog on the way home and pick them off and toss them out the window, but I have never seen more than a few. Rarely if ever do I see a tick on them in the house and if there is a rogue tick in the house it more likely came of...

My dogs had ticks on them in March. Deer ticks in MN get active on the first warm spell. Tick pill works extraordinarily well for the dogs.
