Knew the state origin of those pushing it before you even had to say it. A cancer on the nation. Not all, but many.

Good list. In addition to the list above, I add the following: Dog first aid - both essentials in the field and a bigger kit for the truck Tweezer kit - different sizes and styles for plucking things out of paws, noses, gums, etc. Headlamps w/ extra batteries - far easier than using a handheld...

I was just in South Dakota last week and drove south from the North Dakota border to Aberdeen. I spent the next two days driving ~375 miles around a three county area scouting public land and counted exactly 24 hens and one rooster. From there, I went through Pierre and then to points west...

Thanks for the replies. Very helpful.

Have been running the Dogtra T&B DUAL 2-DOG collar for a few years now for hunting (and training), and the only gripe is the lack of range. Considering upgrading to GPS-enabled collars for our two GWPs given the range seems much better and I sort of like the idea of tracking the dogs throughout...

Not even a big group of liberals who like beer, chocolate, and spending money? Honest question based on several of your previous posts in other threads.

This makes a lot of sense. Perhaps the best rational I've heard for being as quiet as possible, and avoiding continuous noise (beeping, talking, etc.).

I find my dogs tend to range further on really windy days if the situation dictates hunting with the wind. Can't always get the perfect situation with the wind in your face. Prefer hunting into it or at least having it coming from the side whenever possible.

Thanks for sharing. Frankly, I'm amazed that you found six roosters in Colorado.

I am as quiet as possible (no slamming doors, no yelling, quietly loading shotguns, trying to keep the dog whining to a minimum, etc.) and I like hunting with others who do the same. However, the idea that yelling "Hen!" botches a hunt seems silly. As Remy noted, once you fire your first shot...

That’s great to hear. Headed out tomorrow and Tuesday. Hoping for a similarly good report…

$3.89 in northern Colorado today. $3.62 at Sam's Club though.

I'm selling a very lightly used pair of Irish Setter 9" Wingshooter size 10.5 D Men's Boots that my son hunted in 3 times last season. The boots were purchased new in Sept. 2022 are in excellent condition, and were treated with Red Wing Neatsfoot Oil leather cream after every use. I'm only...

Nice! Great see some success in NE! Well done.

Despite a tough opening weekend, we headed out the week of Thanksgiving to an area much further south and east than we'd hunted before. It was a gamble, and the cover was limited and thin but we managed to find roosters. The weather was great when we left home and the forecast looked good for...

Nicely done! Great hunt, great footage. It's been really tough in Colorado so to see you bag a limit late season is VERY encouraging.

I would agree with the previous post regarding the SW and the panhandle. I walked a LOT of miles this season and ended up with a few birds. Saw a lot of hens, which I find encouraging but roosters were few and far between.

@remy3424 CO does have pheasant hunting but it’s been worse (public land anyway) than NE the past few years IMO (drought, little real CRP, everything cut to nothing, etc.). Plus, there are far fewer hunters in western Nebraska than there are in eastern Colorado in my experience. If I’m gonna...
