Background: I have 3 dogs, a 6yo DD, a 2yo PP, and a 12yo shepherd mutt. Bird hunt maybe 60-70 days a year, all wild birds (prairie grouse/forest grouse/phez/SW quail). Sharpness: If I had to leave a dog around my 3yo niece, it would be the DD hands down. The most gentle and forgiving dog I've...

You must be pro socialist agenda? Seeing how Montana has no problem with the federal redistribution of wealth? (Montana gets more from the feds than they put in. Minnesota gets way less then they put in.)

The land I post in ND gets it's fair share of road hunters (ND and non-res alike). The single worst offender for trespassing is local deer hunters. Shoot fast, retrieve fast, hopefully don't get caught. Interestingly enough, I've been checked by the warden four times this year, and not once...

Oh, regarding the enduro batteries, I have 4 and they are great. Honestly not a huge difference in recording time, BUT they work when they are cold. I've been frustrated so many times by cold GoPro batteries that wont even power up the camera.

I run a Hero 9 and 11, but this is what I use: Stock lens: 4k, 30fps, linear w/ horizon leveling, high bitrate, low sharpening, flat color. Max lens mod: 2.7k, wide, high bitrate, low sharpening, flat color. I'm not sold on the max lens mod, I get weird glares with it, but it's nice to be...

Carry a gun with steel shot. Now you are dove hunting. Walk away on any WPA you want.

I generally agree with your point, although I certainly have friends that I would happily loan my dog to and family that would never in a million years get my dog! Haha.

My 5 year old draht is by most all accounts, a superb pheasant dog. I trained the hell out of her, she's a NAVHDA VC. That being said, she wouldn't be half the dog she is if I hadn't loaned her to my father in law every fall. He lives in SD, but doesn't have the time to train another dog (he was...

BB has it right. I'm 35, but fully expect that when I'm an old man decent hunting will only be on preserves. Land is just too expensive to leave out of production. That is if there is any hunting at all, many groups would love to see it ended. That is unless there is a giant shake up. I think...

I was in NE SD this past weekend, and never had to worry about ice holding me as there was almost none to walk on. Hunted cattails for 5 hours straight and was usually over my ankle and often over my knee in water/muck. To echo what was posted, the 4-5 inches of snow will NOT help. Not sure if...

Yep, the decimation of cover is a serious gut punch. Here's a rancid cherry on top: if we have another drought next spring and summer, and/or we have a very severe winter, next year will be even worse.

I saw a few, even shared a duck hunt with one.

My problem is I end up with a George Costanza wallet. MN hunt/fish. SD hunt/fish. ND hunt/fish. Canada licenses. Gonna have back issues!

The Todd and Chad stuff aside, OP is correct. If you come to the Dakota's to let dogs run big on open public grassland, you're going to have a bad time. If you hunt a small geographical area of public ground, you're going to have a bad time. If you are willing to drive long distances to find...

I love getting into the nitty gritty details of the regs. Fwiw the dnr has "shooting hours" listed, not hunting hours. I don't think a CO would or could do anything about a person walking a field before shooting hours, as long as there's no shots fired. If I was worried I'd just leave my gun...

Sorry, maybe that went over your head. "Green jeans" is a nickname for a conservation officer. It just cracks me up that a person could see that picture and think it could be an infraction instead of the simplest answer: that more than one person was hunting. Of course you didn't say it was...

Gotta love you internet green jeans.

I hunt both sides of the border, sunrise in ND, sunset in sd. Started in ND on Friday. On one of my family's fields, we set up for ducks in ND and the birds tend to come from SD, just to give you an idea of how close to the border the family farm is.

Three guys over three days. Hunting 75% private. It's always fun shooting roosters, dog work is overall quite good. Rather surprisingly, our shooting was quite good. We let very few roosters fly away. It's a weird feeling coming back, it was a fun hunt, I just have a sinking sensation in my...

I honestly feel really bad for people making a long trip out. I hunt East River and I'm going to guess that public areas have effectively been cut in half due to grazing and haying. There just isn't much habitat to hunt. The public areas with habitat are going to get absolutely pounded, way...
