    It’s not the PBR that gets you on land…the wives and daughters just want a glimpse of that mysterious hunter known as “big sexy!”….I bet you have a fake British accent! Smart, very smart!!

    Hanging birds

    Yes, the birds are more tender…in my experience…it’s noticeable when fileting the meat off the breast bone, and, when eating it. Same with the sharpies and Huns…not sure the taste is different, but texture for sure…I rarely eat birds the same day they’re bagged…I have, for sure, but more common...

    Hanging birds

    In the heat of September while hunting prairie grouse and Huns, birds go into a frig after cooling down in the van for several hours…the bottom drawers get filled first…then the lower areas of the frig…transport home in a cooler…sometimes 6, 7 days old…no issue

    Hanging birds

    For 23 years, +\-, we lay birds on a piece of raised 4’ x 8’ plywood in a garage…assuming it gets down to 35 or so at night…probably 6000, 7000 birds, likely more, have been through the routine…usually hunt part of Tuesday or Wednesday-Saturday, travel Sunday…never had an issue. I historically...

    Update from SE SD...

    Blowing pretty good today; did the same walk my buddy did Wednesday afternoon…done in about 45 minutes…my pup pointed bird #3, that was fun. Wind should be keeping birds out of the corn for extended amounts of time, birds should be hanging in grass adjacent to crops…that’s what I...

This afternoon I parked next to my field and napped for 90 minutes, and observed the birds migrating out of adjacent corn into my field where...

    Shooting once

    Yeah, I’ve done it, still will take closer shots, especially if the slough is not large and full of water, but I have tempered my inclination to shoot at birds out to 35-40 yards over big cattail sloughs…too tough to recover consistently.

    Looking for a new hunting vehicle

    There’s a contingent of landowners out there who are supportive of alternative lifestyles, and look forward to granting access to them. The whole pronoun thing is popular with those landowners as well. Hunters who are transitioning are probably popular, too…like from deer to birds, for...

    Shooting once

    I preach that a hit bird should be shot at a 2nd time, if it can be done safely…I routinely search for “dead” birds that were shot once…happened several times opening weekend. And I have buddies that miss on the first shot and don’t shoot again for some reason. Most guys will go for a double...
