    Hanging birds

    I let a good # of mine hang in the garage for up to 3 days, done 5 a few times. Never any Ill effects. When it's cold and we're out of town the birds just freeze in the pickup bed. I think for the benefits of aging you want temps 35-50° hang birds in a shady place. For young birds probably don't...

    I need help with spots for our trip

    Here's the good news. A while back trying to find the SD east River bird biologist I hit a dead end. Somehow I got on the line with a guy who has nothing to do with that, but man is he knowledgeable. Always picks up the phone too! He said (without me even asking) "I'll send you some onx pins."...

    Browning Cynergy 12ga

    Here's one you might be interested in, lightweight 12 made in Istanbul. Heat-seaking Ukranian optics added that cost more than the gun. Contact MN member Limitless if so inclined.

    I already know all your spots in south dakota. You just walk around Lewis and Clark lake shooting roosters and looking at dead snow geese.

    Dog vest for retriever around 65lbs.

    I bought a dog vest for Skye 5 years ago. She wore it a few weekends but it rubbed raw spots on her armpits, so that was the end of the cabelas cheap-o. Any suggestions for either a vest or skip plate that won't chaff puppy? P.S. not needed for warmth, she never gets cold while upland hunting.

    I need help with spots for our trip

    As I've recounted on this forum before, several years ago I unleashed carnage, death and destruction on a group just as you described. This is one mark on my soul that may cause me to drive to Saskatchewan and seek repentance at the sacred Indian memorial.

    Strange things dogs do.

    My uncle had a lab growing up. Told me he was a great duck retriever, only thing was, the dog would eat the first downed duck of the day every time! The rest of the hunt he was perfect 👌.

    What you need to do is get River out and make sure she gets a nice retrieve on a bird this season.

    Yeah that's him. I've tried pumping him for info a few times, but he holds his cards tight to his vest. Some people I tell ya. We might just skip Watertown and move the whole dog and pony show west to Montana. I know for a fact birds are thick out by Hilger.

    Iowa hunters, how was your opener?

    If you only hunt private land that is loaded with birds, and you only hunt mornings, why care about the 8am start time? I.E. before the time change you could start at 9 or 10 or whenever. It's not like anyone is gonna beat you to the spot.
