    Help me plan a trip to NoDak

    NoDak hunting areas A question about the link above. Not sure I get the "X" out red/orange properties on the map. Are those private properties that allow hunting? Some have contact info but most that i have looked at do not.

    Bird sightings

    Saw 37 pheasants in field across the road from that sign along with 10 deer. Hunted Sunday and ran birds out ahead of me all day. Just me and dog and one "blocker" who mostly sits in the truck watching, which is fine. Had several points on hens and only one cock gave me an opportunity, but a...

    Help me plan a trip to NoDak

    I would probably plan a mid/late October trip. Areas/towns to focus on would be helpful. Would be me and dog and perhaps another person, but with how I'm thinking of doing it, likely alone.

    Help me plan a trip to NoDak

    So I have hunted in SoDak for pheasants but I have always also wanted to hunt Huns, sharptails and maybe even prairie chickens or sage grouse. I am going to retire soon and might want to travel from Indiana, maybe with one other person but maybe alone. I was thinking of renting a camper van to...

    2024 Reports

    Pheasants closed mid Dec statewide. And where are you looking around I-74? East or West? Not many public areas close to that where there are quail but if you go further south in Western Indiana there are public grounds that have birds.

    Vest suggestions

    I don't like the strap vests either for the same reasons - the strap! I use an LL bean hunting vest. I do not think they make it any longer but this one on Ebay looks to be very similar or identical...

    16 gauge

    I'd add a 28ga before a 16ga. it will help your shooting and be a nicer carry. Plus, you'll have a 28ga!

    Public area closest to 74

    Probably Deer Creek near Greencastle. (assuming you're looking for quail.) Chinook, Goose Pond, Greene Sullivan if you actually want to have a chance to find some.

    Looking for a New O/U

    That would be cool. The gun I would want would be north of $8500. I would probably choose a different maker at that price.

    Looking for a New O/U

    My vote would be for Beretta. I have a 20ga 686 since the mid-90s and never once have had any issues. Seems bullet proof, comfortable to carry and fits me. If the Beretta fits, it's a good choice. I didn't like the Browning's and others I looked at nearly as much as the Beretta. However, in...

    Would like your insight on a purchase for pheasant hunting

    I'd skip the orange on the jacket and just run with hat and orange vest.

    Indiana Quail

    Been out 2x more for quail and found birds each time. Disappointed at the last go because we hunted two new spots that look fantastic and my friend had seen birds in both spots but we got skunked that day.

    Saw another 105# dog.

    My Weim was 80lb female, Vizsla was a 70lber. Both very large for breed standards but both were large because both the bitches I got them from were European imports. I hunt occasionally with a guy whose Weim is over 100lbs. It's big AND fat! Buddies GSP is 90lbs. It's fat and ffffffat!!

    Is there a reason for your dog's name?

    Sounds like the names of my kids and mother. Throw in a Rose, Angela, Francis, and Genevieve and it would be perfect!

    Poor man’s quail

    I've tried it many different ways. Still tastes like worms!

    Is there a reason for your dog's name?

    Breeders named the last two dogs. Current one is Angus. Last one was Eddie. We thought about changing it but Eddie Murphy had a certain ring to it. Prior to that was Vince (the Vizsla) and Kale (Weim) after Cale Yarborough but with a K to make it more German and funny because K is the funniest...
