    Your favorite pheasant O/U

    I had a chance to buy a very good condition EELL in 1991 for $1050. I knew that was a "pretty good deal" but I passed because I was young and thought that was a lot for a shotgun. I think of that often 😬

    MT Non Residents Bill

    Oh yeah. I listened to the hearing and had to laugh when she made that remark. Her comment appeared to be off the cuff, and born out of frustration. She never offered it as an amendment to the bill, and it merely seemed to be a verbal lashing.

    MT Non Residents Bill

    Not sure what you mean about excluding Montana residents. This bill doesn’t affect residents, regardless of where they live in the state. I agree that it won’t have much of any impact on non-residents that have the time and money.

    MT Non Residents Bill

    It was changed after the first hearing. The original bill called for a 14-day limit for non-resident upland hunting.

    2022/2023 PHEASANT Hunting Videos

    I thought it was great, and thanks for posting it. I like the videos of just a guy and his dog, as opposed to the "professional" ones that are out there. These pretty much mirror my own outings. The hunts may not be perfect, but in a sense they are. Nice double!

    Thanks for posting your vids. I loved watching Sage disappear after that rooster in the cattail tunnel. Very good drive on her part!

    2022/2023 PHEASANT Hunting Videos

    Thanks for posting the video! I really enjoy watching them. Ace does a mighty fine job on those birds. I'd like to put in a request that you and Golden Hour post a video or two each month to take all of us to this fall ;). It'll be kind of a support group for bird hunting withdrawal.

    What else do you hunt?

    Exactly! It is pure joy to have a bird in hand, and then watch the dog bound away for the next one somewhere out there. The bond you mention is why I've told my wife that I'd like my cremated remains to be mixed with those of the dogs I've owned, and then scattered in one or two of my favorite...

    What else do you hunt?

    Pheasant hunting is my hands-down favorite pursuit. I go for pheasants and blue grouse as much as I can here in Montana, with occasional forays into Idaho for chukar. I elk and deer hunt every year because I like having a full freezer, and I like cooking and eating game meat. I tell my big...

    2022/2023 PHEASANT Hunting Videos

    Thanks for posting the video. I have to live vicariously since the snow there threw a wrench in my plans to get back there for a late-season hunt. Give the pup some extra treats for the hard work!

    I appreciate you letting me know. I hope things turn around next year with some timely rain.

    Nebraska bird info request

    Thanks for the info, and your offer! The NE part of the state is one area I've never really hunted before. I used to see a decent amount of quality habitat when I would travel through the area for work. I may end up in SD if the weather cooperates, since it's not a far of a drive for me...

    Nebraska bird info request

    Thanks for that info! I always liked hunting the RWB in the 90s, and have many fond memories of following my dogs through those WPAs. I'll definitely reach out if it looks like I'm going to make the trip.

    Nebraska bird info request

    Greetings. I lived in NE for ten years in the 90s, and I have their lifetime hunting license. I am planning a January trip to the state to do some pheasant hunting. I'm retired so I can travel anywhere, but the recent blizzard changed my plans to hunt the panhandle. In that light, I'm hoping...
