Rarely do I agree with Goose, but on this one I do. The breed and age of the dog does matter. But in general, that's too warm for me and my dog. Way too warm.

That's false. Bacteria grows at temps above 50. Exponentially, I might add. You go ahead and keep your fridge at 55 degrees. You'll be sick in 2 days. Violently.

SE is not the area I hunt.

Last season was the best I've had since 2018. The area I hunt is up 85% from last season according to the DNR. I'm skeptical that this year can be 85% better. My lab is 13.5 so we cannot hunt in warm temps. Has to be under 50 degrees. Last year I got 10 hunts in between mid November and the...

I'm not even CLOSE to 70. lol

That's unfortunate. How exactly did she "hang" herself?

Fixed it for ya

Broods that are only 2 weeks old? Not sure I buy that one. It must be a misprint.

I agree with Gladhunter above; the stop and go method works pretty well without a dog. I hunted without a dog for years before I was able to own one. Take 10 steps, pause, 10 more steps, pause. Birds will flush when you are standing still. Try to hunt thinner cover. Forget about cattail...

I can't imagine hunting in this heat. Grouse season opened today, as did deer archery. Completely miserable.

My monty holds 5. However, I keep my plug in the magazine because I don't like the added forward weight of those 2 added shells.

Gotcha. So as long as the bolt is all the way forward this problem shouldn't occur, is that what you're saying? I'll just try to remember to check it more often.

Mine is from 2007 so it's close to 20 years old now too. 12 gauge. It's never failed me once. What is this "click" you speak of? The shotgun just fails to fire or what?

Very informative post bb.

I can't imagine there's going to be a mad rush to harvest this season, looking at the price. Corn has gone from about $5/bushel close to $4 since May. Soybeans aren't any better. I'm not economist so I can't comment on specific reasons, but record yields and harvest are predicted, creating a...

The more people I meet, the more I like my dog.

Shocking, another bull shit statement by goose that makes you wonder wtf he is thinking. Guy should have been banned from this forum years ago. Shooting a hen is literally poaching.

Yikes. Hope you find what you're looking for. That is crazy. Bob Barker comes to mind here.

My lab is a 4-legged garbage disposal. I could feed her just about anything and she would still be hungry. She doesn't even hardly chew her food. She just inhales it right into the bottomless pit like a pelican.

I think I am done with this thread. Can't reason with some individuals. You guys hunt how you want to and I'll hunt how I want to. Good luck this season.
