    How many birds do you shoot in a season?

    Just imagine if she married your cousin. Nothing in the barnyard would be safe. Hen pheasants, pet turkeys, combines, even people!

    Binoculars?

    Seems like most everyone buys 10x because more magnification is better right? I've always liked 8x better. Wider field of view and a lot less shakey picture.

    Hen to rooster ratios?

    Can you email me your top secret file that contains info regarding how to find these locations? Some real life honey holes wouldn't be frowned upon either.

    One shot I whiffed on twice recently

    It was one you don't get all the time, but a very close rooster at a hard angle(crossing). Both birds were going on the slow side. One bird was on takeoff and as the dog was on my left he crossed right in front of me going right, wings spread one perpendicular with the ground and the other with...

    Hen to rooster ratios?

    So far this year I'm seeing a lot of roosters. SD definitely was more roosters than hens. MN has been a lot of roosters too. One thing is though I've flushed a lot of family groups the first few weeks this year and then it's just birds going everywhere and often difficult to distinguish between...

    How many birds do you shoot in a season?

    I make sure game farm birds are stashed in the very bottom of the freezer under everything else. This way I can avoid embarrassment in case a guest has to go in there for something. At that point they're like a few girls I met in my early 20s, never to be spoken of again. 😅

    How many birds do you shoot in a season?

    Is this pertaining to the fact that for longer than I've been alive you shot other people's birds for them breaking the law in Iowa? Or was it more about the fact that you counted other licensed household members toward a family possession limit for birds that you yourself had shot? And what...

    Close call with the wardens

    We got stopped at the game warden convention checkpoint. There were a pile of them, probably 20+ officers, feds too(maybe for waterfowl infractions). Everything checked out but one bag of frozen birds, the friendly lady couldn't find a spur on the leg. She offered it back to me and said, "can...

    We got back from our trip

    Haha. Yeah, I don't always pick a good spot, but man was it so cool to see groups of roosters gliding in from the hinterlands dive bombing into the grass. Made it a really easy choice to get out the truck and release the hounds.

    We got back from our trip

    We zipped out Friday morning and started at our traditional spot on the eastern side of east south dakota. Yes that last sentence was on purpose for emphasis. 4 guys we got 7 birds there in just under two hours. I think this spot gets hunted for pheasants about 3 times a year total. The middle...

    Hanging birds

    From all the cooking literature it seems the most benefit would come from hanging older birds with denser/tougher meat. 5 days should show the most benefit. For some reason they all list the best temp as 50-55°. Of course I just let God set the thermostat and trust in him. Hanging birds at 34°...

    Hanging birds

    Here's what you do. Take a bird that you shoot in the next week or two and hang it by either the neck or feet for three days. If it's one that you hit with the 28 gauge and Molly has to run a half mile chasing him down the bank of Lewis and Clark lake all the better. If it's one you run across...

    Hanging birds

    Two totally different things. Can't do it with a deer too much body mass and heat. Birds it's no problem. I wouldn't gut one and hang it, you open up the chance of bacteria getting into it. If I gut it I clean it all the way.
