    Windy and cold day in Iowa.....

    She is a lab and we believe black and tan hound. She is a cover buster but still needs to work on a few things.

    Windy and cold day in Iowa.....

    My son and I went out in the wind last Friday and limited out. It was 20 to 30mph winds but the birds were grouped up and in the heavy cover. All in all a great day.Bitter cold is predicted all this next week so hopefully it warms back up a bit later.

    Just can't win

    I have owned an older 1100 and an older 1187 and have had very few problems but I would think that Remington would stand behind their products.

    Kent ultimate ammo

    I bought 6 boxs of 6s and usually I use an IC choke. I will sometimes put in a modified later in the season but I have noticed a lot of guys shoot a more open choke with the faster ammo.

    I bought 4 boxs and will give it a try next season. Thanks for all the advice guys. I hope ammo will be more available soon but I am going to try and pick up what I can when I can.

    Kent ultimate ammo

    I have noticed that a lot of guys recommend using a more open choke like IC with the faster loads and just wondering why? Thanks for the advice on the Kent shells also, it sounds like they are a great pheasant getter.

    Kent ultimate ammo

    Anyone use this stuff? I'm thinking about ordering some 6 shot 2 3/4" but I have never used it before. I usually use prairie storm but its getting almost impossible to find.

    Quail in southern Iowa

    Southern Iowa and northern Missouri quail are decimated. I bet numbers are down 50-75% from just a couple years ago. What do you think is the reason? Weather or habitat or predators or a combo of all 3???

    A true triple?

    I have hunted pheasants for close to 40 years and had never gotten a triple until 2 years ago then it happened twice, the first time took 4 shots as the last bird hit the ground running and I had to finish him, the second time the following year I took 3 shots and dropped 3 roosters. I had...

    When is the best time to hunt quail?

    We have hunted them from 9am clear thru 4pm but I learned from a biologist that it is not a good idea to break them up to late in the day as they need the covey to band together and stay warm so if you break them up to late in the day they may not get back together before nightfall. So to...
