Im east metro so I cannot associate with "westerners". 😁 In short, the more miles you can put between you and the major metro's of St. Paul and Minneapolis, the better. At least until you start approaching Duluth......

I do that with Grouse. I dont shoot chicklets when I can tell.

"We all hunt differently but a dead bird is the goal of all."

I started a civil conversation looking for answers but several of you decided to mouth off for whatever reason. For those that didnt, I appreciate the feedback. I'll hunt your state as often as I like. Simple as that.

Lol

Standard answer is no but there was this time a couple high school kids were hunting a field we got permission for. For some reason we ended up hunting together then we went to their grand parents property. They were really solid kids and we saw them once the next year but lost track. I just...

Gestapo tactics nailed it. That's what it seemed like. That doesn't fly with me. But it really was a conversation to learn. The fact it riled some of you up is interesting.

Im not worked up. You are worked up. Settle down. Im a little more sensitive to authority (apparently) than most, especially law enforcement, since I am a law abiding citizen.

His comments on pulling us over. For wearing orange? He just saw us driving. Felt invasive. Regular cops catch heat all the time for profiling and not having probable cause. If legal, good to know.

We were in a 3 vehicle caravan driving gravel roads in Iowa from one field to another several miles away. Enroute we pass a co and he turns around and follows us for several miles to our next field where he parks and asks for licenses. He even mentioned pulling us over but he thought we would...

I never see it. But then again I don't call them on myself when my dog snags a hen.

I use Black Cloud most of the time and really like the performance using improved cylinder. 3" #4. I have no problem limiting my shot distance as an old experienced hunter.

Last year I used the lowest shock setting that would get her to turn around and see me so I could hand signal. I have Grouse hunted my deaf dog twice this year with no problems but it is risky. Im not sure I will take her to Iowa this year now. Im leaning towards no. At 13 there's more than...

My pheasant hunting buddies wont allow me to use full choke after "the incident"....:)

I often miss birds I wait on and aim at. I am deadly snap shooting.

That's a bute. Has me second guessing my recent 20ga Montifeltro.

Heading to NW by Sac as usual. I plan to roam all over northern Iowa the next 3 weekends. Im dogless this season but hunting with buddies and their dogs. :( Opener is always a big party with friends and family. Cant wait.

I fill a gallon milk jug at the motel every morning and take a dog dish. More than enough but I have either left the dish on the ground or backed over it a few times. On the long walks I carry a water bottle in the water bottle pocket on my coat/vest. When Grouse hunting there is almost always...

I thought my 13 yo Pudelpointer was retired but due to circumstances I could use her this season. She did shockingly well Grouse hunting last weekend working 4 miles of 2 track. So we'll in fact I plan to take her again and probably an easy trip in Iowa. Biggest issue is she can't hear me. I...

My oldest is 13. She still has some hunt in her but can barely hear. I can signal her with hand signals but that's no help when she is out of sight. This is particularly worrisome Grouse hunting. My 4 Yo is out for the season so I am considering taking her on a serious trip but taking it super...
