    Pheasants Forever- SCAM or do they help upland hunters?

    Tim Walz is a better pheasant hunter than most of us here on this forum, myself included…I’ll take the comparison to him, with much gratitude…he shoots a .410, and shoots it well. Things are starting to make sense around here…

    Pheasants Forever- SCAM or do they help upland hunters?

    I think if the Catholic Church is still alive, PF will survive, too…I was being bombastic and facetious in my earlier claims …maybe PF is guilty of something…I have no idea and could care less…this whole thread is interesting and entertaining and cements in my feeble mind that the truly...

    What makes it “public” ??

    There’s a 2500 acre GPA 5 miles from my ground that DU bought with a large gift from a prominent Atlanta attorney who died in a plane crash…they may have sold easements, not sure, but they sold it to SD GFP then took the $ to go preserve habitat somewhere else…

    Snow

    Yup…we call unsafe gun handling out…happens, I’ve been called out…gotta have that policy where it gets called out by anybody who notices it…I’ve been hunting in groups off and on for 30+ years…no issue, you pay attention…most of the time we’re not very close to each other…some times we are…pay...

    What makes it “public” ??

    I’ve seen 6 or 8 DU parcels get sold, one of them was bot by a rancher pal of mine…pretty sure it’s this program.

    What makes it “public” ??

    5-6 years ago there were several parcels owned by DU that were WIA but unsigned; somehow we knew it was WIA…OnX, maybe? we had some good hunting…it was sold a year or 2 later…

    Snow

    I always wear protective glasses, I know 3 people who’ve been shot in the face, one lost an eye. He was up on a hill with his group below…you know what happened. The other 2 are farmers that were hosting large groups… 8? 10? And the farmers were blocking on the ends of food plots…low flying...

    Snow

    Not enough, frankly…we were in birds, big time…could have used a few more. 2 weeks earlier my group of 6 got 17 in the same 1/4 section in about 90 minutes, no snow that time…it’s helpful to have a few guys on different sides of a particular field to keep them from pouring out…sometimes the...

    You can always revert back to your somewhat rigid, prejudicial ways…”let go and let god!” guide you for one year…or, “let go and let dog!” guide you if you’re dyslexic…go for it, you might surprise yourself! ☮️🌈☀️

    Fiberoptic sight

    My red bead/sight got knocked off my main bird gun 20+ years ago, my shooting improved…same thing happened on my Benelli ultralight a year or two after I bot it, same thing…that’s my go-to gun…

    Pheasants Forever- SCAM or do they help upland hunters?

    I’m sure PF has engaged in egregious fraud, abused staff in various ways, engineered devious ways to benefit major donors, etc, all at the expense of average donors, our dogs, and most importantly, the pheasants. But I’ll still send my $75. 😁

    Winner/Gregory Area

    24 and 32 gauges are all the rage in that area…28’s are way too pedestrian…2” 12’s are gaining in popularity out there as well…
