    How’s your shooting been?

    I blame it on the new strap vest. Gun doesn't shoulder the same as it had for the last 30 years!

    How’s your shooting been?

    My shooting has been terrible. I have missed at least 6 birds this year. Everyone I hunt with wonders if I'm ok.

    Indoor Hunting Dogs

    My dog gives me that look when I close the cheese drawer without including him in the delectable edibles. He is French.

    Indoor Hunting Dogs

    my last dog was totally chill. He'd be totally uninterested in anything until he hit the tall grass, then his tail would go up and he was after it. Very strange.

    Indoor Hunting Dogs

    As soon as I go down to my shop and zipper a gun case. Put on any piece of my hunting clothes. Put on a hat. Take his GPS collar off the charger (it beeps). Open the door to my hunting clothes closet.......

    2025 WI Pheasant Thread

    I used to plan my deer hunts around the schedule of the neighboring hunters. I hunted enough to know when they would show up and when they would leave. I'd always be in my stand before they go there and would always wait until they left. You'd be surprised how many deer I killed over the years...

    Never understood the shell loop thing. Why would anyone use that except to try to look like John Rambo?

    New upland vest

    My dog learned in 2 outing that if he came to me and sat, I would give him water. Nice to have two squirt bottles when the truck is a long ways away and no creek/puddle. or whatever to try to drink from. I do have a belt with water holder, shell pocket, accessory that i have worn in the past...

    Getting Old Sucks

    Hunted yesterday with friend who is 74. We did what I would call a 2/3rd hunt. Went to get truck to pick him up. When we got back to where he was he was sitting and resting. Couldn't get up! I thought he might have been down for good.

    Lets talk cleaning/processing after the hunt

    My dad was in Korea in the 50s and would take R&R in Japan. He told me the Japanese would hang pheasants by the tail and when the pheasant fell to the ground they were ready to eat because they were tender.

    Indiana 2025

    Did my first real pheasant hunt in Indiana 11/20. Hit two spots in Benton county and 1 in Newton. The first thing is noticed in all three is that the cover is far better this year than the last two seasons. Very encouraging! We had 4 guys and 3 dogs. Weather was damp and dreary with little...

    New upland vest

    I have a new Final Rise. Wasn't sure about the rear load bag but it's so open that plopping a bird in there is easy. basically just have to reach back and drop and it's in. I bought to carry water and like the weight on the hips. When carrying a full game bag it is nice as well. shell pockets...

    Good recipes

    This turned out pretty good the other day. Basically Chinese stir fried pheasant. I marinated the cut up breasts in a little soy, fresh ground ginger, oyster sauce, and garlic for an hour or so. Longer would probably be better. Take out, pat dry and dust with cornstarch. (I put in plastic bag...

    Lets talk cleaning/processing after the hunt

    Great article: Hanging Game Birds I really got interested after my mom said she liked pheasants. She didn't like any other game and wouldn't eat it. She reminded me that when my dad hunted (he stopped when I was about 10) he would hang his pheasants in the shed in the back. I had forgotten...
