I don't make any of those noises mentioned. Literally, none of them. It's a factor I can control, so I am going to control it. Limiting the amount of noise I make while I'm deer, turkey, or pheasant hunting is a big part of what I am trying to do out there. Unnatural sounds tip off game...

A lot of people here hunt public land and late season roosters aren't dumb. The single most important factor is how much noise you make. The only noise you should be making is when you pull the trigger. You wouldn't yell DOE! every time a female deer came past your stand either.

Hard pass. It's hurricane season.

Stop yelling hen or rooster. Great way to announce your presence to the entire countryside that you're there.

That's not half the cost. So that can't be it. Dog Chow is pretty cheap and made by Purina. He might be thinking of that one.

I've never shot a hen. Ever. I've pheasant hunted for 25 years and no one with me has ever shot a hen either. If you are shooting hens, you do not belong in this. If you cannot tell its a rooster, you do not shoot.

And if there's no color or spurs, how would that be done? Not like birds have plumbing between their legs like mammals do. If you cannot prove it's a rooster, it's a hen. If you say to an LEO "it cackled so I shot it" but there is nothing beyond that to show any distinction that it's a...

Forgive me but what is a "hunt test?"

Not sure that a game warden would buy that if you were found with one that "cackled" before you shot it. You need to prove that it's not a hen. If there is no color and no spurs, an LEO isn't going to buy that you heard it cackle as evidence of it being a rooster. I need clear visual...

Pretty absurd TBH. Wasn't expecting some areas to be up this much. Pheasants can really proliferate if they have good nesting and reproductive conditions.

Sometimes it's downright remarkable how much cooler it is compared to the rest of the state too. I'll see a temperature map in the middle of July when 95% of the state is sweltering hot/humid, and then the area immediately near Lake Superior is 67.

If it's a rooster within range, I shoot. Once I reach my limit, I quit. This is not a complicated subject. If you can't tell it's a rooster, you don't shoot because hens aren't legal. Also not a complicated subject.

Duluth is ranked as the top location in the entire country most likely to be unaffected by climate change. The reason: the world's largest supply of freshwater that provides a near constant inflow of colder air during droughts and heatwaves. In other words: free air conditioning.

Apparently no one like a knife with serrations huh I'm a Gerber knife user

Something to consider here. Rotating through different kinds of dog food is not a good thing, so the one you select should be readily available. Also, read the labels. Lots of people just buy pet food based on the front that has a wolf and a salmon on it. Don't get sucked into that...

She dislocated her elbow too. They had to pull on her broken arm to get the elbow back in the socket. That had to be unbearable.

I used to waterfowl hunt too. Haven't gone for 5 years now, with no intention of going again on my own will anytime soon. Not enough ducks around here anymore. The migration pattern has shifted them westward. Years of drought have also played a role. But the biggest factor is this: we have...

You can do that in MN too. There's one at every grocery store I frequent. Been there for years.
