Some good news, for the past month or two I've been seeing some very consistent broods of 6-10 chicks, some smaller some bigger but every pair of adults I've seen has chicks in tow. Today I saw 4 pairs within a half mile all with decent broods but this one really peaked my interest. A pair of...

Without getting the hevi shot spokes people on here has anyone used this stuff on pheasants out of their pea shooter? I've used rio bismuth with great success but it's kind of hard to find (ordered 2 boxes of 7s today). I've been thinking about giving the hevi shot a try since pheasant hunting...

I've been talking about getting a river boat for some time now and finally found a nice one for the right price. Its a 14' flat bottom Crestliner (wanted a 16' but oh well) with a 40hp jet outboard. It will run 30mph in as little as 3-4" of water. Those big bass in the river have been warned...

I picked up my new SA-08 last night and brought her home. It has one less barrel than I normally like and isn't especially good looking but for the price and how good the reviews seem to be how could I go wrong? This will be my beater/ bad weather gun. Anybody else here shoot one? How do you...

I know my state gets a bad wrap but next time you sit down for dinner think about this. This is just a sample of what goes on here and doesn't even mention our huge beef, dairy, poultry, cotton, hay, rice, oil/natural gas, and timber industries. What's going on with our drought will have a very...

I'm watching this show called The Woodsmen and this guy goes to check his,bird traps and he finds a golden pheasant In one. I think he's in northern Idaho or Washington in the woods so its the right type of habitat and the guy didnt seem surprised. Do you guys think it was rigged or are there...

If any of you are interested there is a special on the sagebrush steppe on Nature tonight on PBS. Looks like a good one.

I know not everyone will agree with my disgust for this but if you don't want to see your public lands sold to the highest bidder, please contact you congressional representative and let them know where you stand on this issue. Those of you who live in states that this won't affect as much as us...

Take a look at this proposal and tell me what you all think. I would be all for it if as much of the funds hit the ground as the federal waterfowl stamps funding does. Lets here it, questions? Concerns? Pro or con? http://www.ultimateuplandnews.com/its-time-for-the-federal-upland-stamp/ If you...

My parents are in Scottsdale to catch a few spring training games, hanging out in the park waiting for the A's vs. Giants game and this guy flies in to take a bleacher seat! I knew there were quail down there but ballpark quail?

Well, I won this gun in a CWA (Ca waterfowl association) raffle tonight and I will take ownership in 10 days after the Ca waiting period. Anyone shooting one? How is it? I handled and look the gun over, seemed like a decent gun and I won it for $50 so even if it's junk I did ok it...

I had a chance to extend the season a bit today and run JP in a NAGDA competition and raise some money for cancer awareness at the same time. These are fun events with lots of good people to share stories with but for some reason JP seems to under perform in them which is a bit frustrating for...

I'm not sure how many of you are as picky about gloves as I am but if you are these gloves are awesome. I have a small hand and am sick of ill fitting, generic sized (s,m,l) gloves so I ordered a pair of these Geier deerskin gloves in 7.5". I measured my hand at 8" per their measuring...

So I was browsing shotguns online as I often do and while searching for single shot .410's I stumbled across a Yildiz sold by Academy sports for $119, so I dug a little deeper and see all the available Yildiz O/U and SxS shotguns which all look very nice for their price (they're cheap!), are...

Thank you for sharing your awesome trail cam pics with us, it's greatly appreciated. Hope you had a great day.:cheers:

Anyone use Filson's single tin oiled pants in the field? I hate the fact that my brush pants leave the backs of my leg/ knees wet when walking through tall, wet grass and thought these pants might do a little better for me. Any reviews on them?

Some of you may be interested in the LPCI (lesser prairie chicken initiative) and what they're doing. They have a good series of videos called "Out on the land" that I've been following and I thought some of you may enjoy. Here's a link to the New episode...

Do any of you all love trees as much as I do? I really love trees, all kinds really but especially oak trees. I came across this dandy black oak burl today and had to sit and enjoy it for a while. Then there was this beauty I saw while in the north east corner of the state. The oaks up...

Call me a tree hugger, maybe I am but I love hearing about these small wins for wildlife. :cheers: https://cdfgnews.wordpress.com/2015/01/09/permanent-flows-ordered-to-restore-owens-river-gorge/

Just a heads up if any of you in the area are interested. I just saw a press release from QF about a new chapter in Sacramento.:cheers:
