I hunted Kansas once about 20 years ago. We had very good success hunting WIHAs. Interestingly the farm we had permission to hunt on put most of his better "turkey" land into that WIHA program. We were amazed at the large number of birds seen from the road driving/scouting around ...

We usually hunt later season in MN and WI and do quite well. Fewer birds, pressured birds by that time of the year. If you are confident in your calling they still come in. I have found that a pair or trio of Toms will be more aggressive in coming in than a single gobbler during these...

I have killed more than one gobbler by pissing off his hen enough that she comes in to shut me up and he follows her in.

80% lean (undrained) hamburger provides our bird dogs with that extra protein and fat and also that extra incentive to eat when exhausted. I can crumble up a pound or two and keep in a baggie in a cooler on trips. I have fed IAMs to all my bird dogs. Lamb and rice to bird dogs and senior...

They only will hear "eto" and "aeve". You should be good.

I always try to have two dogs of hunting age at all times. Often own three dogs (puppy, retired dog, etc). I rarely hunt the two dogs together. One dog with one, two or maybe on occasion three hunters is all that is really needed. I like to rotate dogs because it keeps them fresh.

The further you get out of Aberdeen (or any other larger town) the more likely you are able to find a true motel where you park your truck in front of your room. When I was younger we loved to be able to do this. Couple lawn chairs, cold brew, and the barbeque cooking the wild game to...

Nothing kills an unnamed Dakota (ND or SD) prairie lake (once a pothole now a fishery) than word of mouth ... I suppose especially those that just have to share where they caught all those perch or 'eyes. Forums usually moderate, edit, and/or refrain from actual locations ... but not FB...

The WY Federal land checkerboard was a "cluster" from the beginning. It should not have been set up that way. The only real answer on access is EASEMENTS. If you purchase any private land that is not bound by a road, legal public section line, etc... you better have an easement onto...

Spayed and Neutered dogs cannot be AKC titled (field or show) other that the junior, senior, master hunter titles ??

The vast majority of “checker board” public land in WY is Federal land.

Each state has its own laws and regulations. Like I said above. Go for it get a ticket and go to court. The WY case should be a great precedent for your attorney

I believe corner crossing is generally illegal in most states. In Minnesota I would bet if a landowner called you in you would likely get a ticket. You then hire a good attorney and proceed down the same path as Wyoming case with precedence on your side. The Wyoming case may have went...

It appears that MS enacted a new law that said everyone in the field (turkey hunters anyways) needs to be licensed.

Man's car and truck are the top rooster killer this time of year.

Never heard of a pheasant hatchery being impacted by bird flu.

Can't imaging hunting pheasants with two pairs of pants on. Jeans most of the season. If the grass is damp, I wear Cabela's goretex pants or hunts early spots with shorter grass. Those pants are usually replaced with jeans by 11 or noon. Knee high rubber boots removes the need for...

I know this is a pheasant site, but think of turkeys roosting in trees on an extreme cold night. They have mass, but no feathers on their legs like grouse or feathers on their heads like most other birds.

Sorghum is a great pheasant cover / food source. Rows of corn are good when the snow depth (wind blown drifts) start to cover the sorghum grain tops. I wish the MN DNR and local wildlife clubs that plant food sources on or near WMAs would use a mix of sorghum and corn.
