So most states require animals, including dogs, to have a health certificate when they cross state lines. So does everyone get'em when they go to another state?

So I was looking back in my hunting journal and discovered that this year I have a higher number of birds per outing than last year. I probably am seeing more birds this year than last. What are you guys seeing who have hunted all 3 weekends?

My little patch of WSG has some foxtail and other annual grasses that still have their seeds attached. What do you think about trying to burn it this fall for weed control (burn the seeds up). It is not very thick yet so I am not concerned about loosing the cover this winter.

I under stand how to physically put in the shims. The question is what do you look for when putting in the shims. What are you looking for fit. I usually shoot my 1187 special field but might try my M2 a little. From what I have read fitting seems to be more of trap thing and not really for...

So a few years ago I bought a pair of Beretta Cordura Upland hunting pants on Ebay for $30. I really like em. They are kind of a combination of running pants and hunting pants. Lots of room and movement they are not cotton so they hold up well when wet and keep me fairly dry. The problem is...

Hearing Protection that is. I posted this question on the "other" forum but do not remember what the consensus was. From what I have heard other places is that most earplug style devices collect a lot of wind noise and other clutter from walking through grass. Making them not the greatest for...

I have a 1st year stand of WSG mainly Big Blue and Switch. Now that I was patient enough to let it grow I noticed it has some patchy spots were a have little to no stand in those areas. Has anyone tried over seeding in those areas. They are currently covered in fox tail. Should I try to burn...

I planted a small patch of Switchgrass and Big Blue (1 acre) around my place. So far all I have is a bunch of Lambs quarter and Pig weed and a few small sprigs of grass. I have heard this is normal but I am starting to wonder.

http://www.keloland.com/NewsDetail6162.cfm?Id=25,81764 I hope the preserve owners and a few landowners do not kill this like they did last year.

I have thought about this situation for a while and thought I would throw it out for comment. Towards the end of the season last year a farmer whose ground I hunt in SD called me on my cell while I was out hunting. The conversation went something like this. FARMER: So I see you got a new...

I hunt in small groups of 4 to 5 guys. With few exceptions the blocker does not get very many shots. We hunt waterways and cattails. Not very many large chunks of cover. It seems that most of the shooting takes place by the guys walking. A few birds every now and then sneak out the end but...

What are your thoughts on these? What kind do you have? Do they work OK? I am thinking about getting one and looking for feed back.

If the birds are holding good my lab will often point them. When looking back at last years hunts in my log, I noticed I missed more birds off of point then on flushes. This fact is of course quite emberrsing when hunting with other people. One I shot at off point had me standing with an...

I suppose it is natural, we all have off days. My lab just did not seem to care about hunting today. Maybe 40+ days in 79 day season will do this to them. From the moment we got into the truck he just seemed not to care. He usually is quite a hard charger. Anyone else ever experience this?

I am looking to get a new pair of upland boots. I have a pair of Danner Pronghorns that lasted about 1.5 seasons and they are falling apart. I also have a pair of Irish Setters that do not look like they will last more than year. They are the $100 version. How much do you have to spend to...

Used Ruger Red Label, 12ga, 26in barrels. Extended Carlson Choke tubes. This was a fixed choke gun but sent it to Carlson to get tubes put in. Have three Chokes. Small dent in forearm and small chip in butt stock. Photo shows both. $775 shipped to your FFL.

I was thinking about going on a Sharptails/Chicken hunt next year in SD. Anyone ever used their labs on Sharptails/Chicken.

I developed a new strategy today for hunting when the snow has made cover sparse. I drove around to the the fields that I can hunt and looked for hawks circling above. Knowing that the hawks would push the feeding birds into any amount of cover they could find I went and walked those little...

Headed out today in SW SD got my limit plus a bonus partridge. The dynamics have changed a lot. Birds are tuff to find but when you do there is a lot of them. A lot of my spots are snowed in and even some sloughs are pretty drifted in. It might be a tuff winter for them. I need to find more...

So after hunting today with lots of the white stuff around I was thinking Snow shoes might be in order. I was thinking about getting a smaller sized pair. Has anyone ever used them in grassy areas? I am sure they would not work in cattails but how much trash can a guy walk through with them on?
