1) habitat 2) weather Severe drought in several states in recent years is not helping #2. Predators do not have a significant affect on upland bird populations. Nothing near the two items mentioned above.

Anyone that has at least some knowledge of upland hunting should realize this. Released birds do nothing to aide the wild bird population. The two most important factors are: 1) habitat 2) weather

Venison sticks, beef jerky, banana, or trail mix. And water, lots of it. A Charlie horse later in the day because I failed to hydrate is no fun.

HS Sporting Clays is the fastest-growing sanctioned sport here in the state of Minnesota. Just a tidbit of information.

There is a pheasant-rearing operation not far from my parents house in central MN. They raise thousands of birds each year. I have spoken to the owner more than once and the majority of his birds end up in South Dakota every season on preserves. He told me that when the population of wild...

Thanks Bob. It is a tough thing to deal with.

I tried hunting on Tuesday and my nearly 14 year old lab cannot do it anymore. I hit 2 spots and raised 20 birds, but the legs and endurance have vanished. She mostly just walked along beside me or lagged behind. It was a sad day. I kinda teared up a little out there. I've gotten 14...

The date is mostly so I eat them first in, first out. Kind of like an expiration date.

Remember that you need to follow transport rules depending on where you're hunting. That may vary by state. I shoot mine and then clean them at home, but my house is only an hour away. I vacuum seal mine with the date on them and then put them in the freezer.

Hmmm, maybe it wasn't bed bugs based on where you said you got them. Weird.

That's what I use.

With clays you kind of know it's coming. With roosters, you don't always know that. Try ruffed grouse hunting. Roosters are like shooting beach balls by comparison.

I'd be surprised if it was from insects in the field. Bed bugs would be my guess. No way I would even consider hunting in those temps. Best to avoid that cheap motel again too.

I used copper-plated shells. I don't know if that's the same as "copper shot." They are made by federal. Wing Shok

Yes it is. I see it on occasion but I don't make a point of watching it. Travis Frank is also the co-host of Due North Outdoors, which is kind of a spin off of Minnesota Bound. Travis is about 4 and a half feet tall in person lol. He is a shrimp

It was 70 degrees in the Twin Cities yesterday. It set a new record for the latest 70 degree recording in any year since they have been keeping track. Not a big fan

My Father is 73 and I have to basically babysit him when we deer hunt and fish together. It gets annoying at times but its better than not doing it.

I think we figured out why the OP is looking for hunting partners. He has no dog.

2 for 2...with deer.

Danner Used to be a Rocky guy and they weren't bad but I wish I would have tried Danner earlier.
