Being content with knowing that a successful regular season and a playoff game or two is as far as they will ever go is the hallmark of a true Vikings fan.

You do know that the Vikes are going to melt down in classic fashion, right? I know you know, I just felt compelled to share that. Remember when Favre came to MN and they almost went to the Superbowl, but didn't? Remember Daunte and Moss and Carter then Gary Anderson missed the only field...

This was part of the reason I started filming and sharing my hunts. I couldn't care less about the pay to play operations, although I disagree with shooting pen raised birds as it is not fair chase and I adamantly disagree with the preserves having a longer season as I know that they do take a...

To be fair, western SD has never had more pheasants than the east side. With that said, the area from Chamberlain to Presho and south down to Winner/Gregory was, and still is, a good spot for pheasants with it's mix of cropland/grassland. Nothing like the peak CRP days, but there are birds...

Does the 14 year old have his driver's license? Have him do some driving, bail out early one morning and make it a one day drive. I know SD is about half again as far as KS from SC, but I truly believe that SD would offer you guys greater contacts with wild birds. South Dakota Game Fish and...

Big mistake, Bob.

In reality, I technically own all the WPAs in my area, so the statement is true. :)

I went through my notes on harvest numbers and location for the past 4 seasons and .724 of the birds harvested came from public land within 30 miles from home. I grew up in this area and have hunted it my entire life, so without knowing about other parts of the state, it could be possible that...

You thinking I should educate the birds at HH to make them a fair challenge for you and Ace?

It is a great, non-toxic shell for pheasants. 3" #2 Black Cloud is all I shot at pheasants for many years, until I switched to bismuth a couple years ago.

I'm guessing that the Pheasant bacon is similar to venison bacon. Ground, mixed with pork fat, seasoned and smoked. https://www.curleyssausagekitchen.com/products/venison-bacon

Yep, the old timers and their snus! Norwegian or Swedish descendent?

At 10am, I'm typically just getting back from duck hunting. I understand that a lot of guys who travel to SD come here to hunt and getting out at the opening bell is what they are going to do. I'd suggest taking a break mid afternoon to give you and the dogs a breather, so you'll all be ready...

Copenhagen and water gets me through 95% of my hunts. As A5 mentioned, the VS/Saltines with butter chunks is the closest thing to heaven on Earth, after pheasant hunting, that you can find.

A5 is pretty much a pheasant philosopher. I have had a similar experience with TSS not passing through and lots of pepper sized tungsten chunks in the meat. Of course, I can't always connect the exact bird on the plate with the situation in the field, but I'm pretty confident I didn't shoot...

I'm shocked you chimed in on this, remy :) It is not the golden ticket. That would be a Farm Bill that pays well and demands enrollment of 100 million acres of land to be converted into CRP here in the upper Midwest. But the idea is one effort that is geared 100% in raising money to put...

Releasing pheasants is releasing pheasants. It's pointless and while releasing hens doesn't work, it isn't nearly as disgusting as releasing a domesticated animal and then killing it for fun. Likewise, trapping/predator control isn't going to do anything for pheasants either. Regardless, the...

Here you go: PF: Hi Lucas,Thanks for the note and your efforts. At this time we will decline to participate because of the link to stocking birds - with 30+ years of research on stocking issues, we know that pen-raised birds aren't capable of producing a self-sustaining population of pheasants...

Uff da, Remy, let me try to explain this again. Lew's Fireworks is a private business, not a habitat organization. Out of a desire for habitat, we selected one product off our shelves that would be sold exclusively as a fundraiser. I thought, "hey, this is a good idea. Imagine if 1% of the...

I've mentioned this a few times on here, but once again wanted to spread the word. As a business, we chose to design a product with the intention of every dollar in profit that was made in selling that product go to pheasant habitat. As you can see, a little over $25,000 has been donated so...
