    Keys

    My pocket. When I have a partner they carry my extra set. I always used to carry an extra key in my wallet but that is no longer an option with fobs.

    Which upland semi-auto for pheasant?

    Ditto. I use them both equally. Franchi is definitely in the op's price range.

    fell through the ice

    I fell in pheasant hunting two years ago in brutal cold. Had to change outside. I threw my clothes in the back of the truck and they came out the same way frozen stiff the next day. It was really cold.

    NW Iowa Report 12-19-20

    My cabin in NW wisconsin. Wrangle up them roosters! I'm envious. If I get lucky I may get another one of these but the success ratio is lower than pheasants.

    You guys are killing me! I kinda want to go and my buddy's want me to join them this weekend but I just started ice fishing and put a hurt on the gills last weekend. I can also hunt Grouse in the same area and got one yesterday so it's hard to get excited about traveling all the way to Iowa...

    Training Mixed breed to be Bird Dog

    I think it's rare but it happens. When I was a kid my buddy's chihuahua was good on pheasants. We never shot over her but there were lots of birds by the house in the city so we would hunt her. She got it and would hunt the hell out of them. It was hilarious.

    Deuce etiquette

    When in nature do as the animals do and just go. I always keep wipe in my hunting vests/jackets. It's pretty common actually. I find it more difficult to find cover in pheasant country but when grouse hunting you can go anywhere. I can't imagine a hunter not pooping regularly outdoors. It gets...

    I hate this!

    Last week in Iowa I stopped in a WMA parking late in the day just to change out of my hunting boots for the long drive home. I let the dogs out one last time and while my back was turned they got into "something". It was an oil or grease of some kind somebody dumped next to the parking lot. I...

    Thanksgiving Day/Extended weekend hunting results

    I have the time but making that 2.5 hour drive both directions saps my motivation. Especially after the disappointing number of birds seen. this year. Me and my dogs can only walk so far. Private land hunters need not reply.

    [Solved] Politics Removed From Forum

    Considering the potential for catastrophic change in this country its almost impossible to keep it out of daily discussions regardless of the website. I see this on every website I belong. Fishing, hunting, sledding. The topic touches everyone and everything, including all hunters using guns.

    A dog that won't drop the bird

    Im there with my golden right now. To hell with positive reinforcement for every situation. I roughly demand she release the bird or whatever she is carrying that I want if she trys otherwise. She has fetched two birds so far and I wont put up with her trying to keep them. I worked with her on...

    Plucking a pheasant

    How long are you hanging? Can you or others with hanging experience shed some light on your experiences? I am intrigued and plan to try as soon as I can. Im seeing 3-7 days at 50-55 degrees with guts intact.

    Shot choice on public land in Iowa

    I find 3" steel shells in 3 or 4 shot to work quite well and sometimes seemingly better than 2 3/4 lead 4 or 5 shot. I use Federal Back Cloud.
