A buddy and I hunted the WIAs south of Holyoke yesterday with our two dogs. We focused on pivots for most of the day, and according to my bud's pedometer, walked 10.2 miles. Had two shooting opportunities on roosters and connected on both. I also peppered tow yotes who where slow to get out of...

Winds 20-30 mph in the morning and gusting to 40 by afternoon! I have a feeling that with that much wind, combined with off season rust, those crafty roosters will get the last cackle tomorrow! By this time tomorrow, I hope all of us (with our red wind-blown faces) will be sharing a beer and...

Last season I wasted opening day hunting WIA north of Holyoke. I saw far fewer birds compared to the previous year. After asking around, I was told the area had been hit hard by hail in the summer. This year, I have heard reports of heavy hail damage both north and south of Holyoke. Chadsbrit...

Good luck to everyone who is heading east this weekend for the last great charge of the season! It has been a great year and I look forward to bumping into many of you at the local PF banquets this spring.

Hey UPHers, Where is the best place in the front range to buy used shotguns? Thanks!

All my buddies swear they are coming along on opener, then the phone starts ringing about two days before. One-by-one they all call to cancel. The conversation goes something like this... "Hey man, I know I swore I would make it out on opener this year...but (insert significant other's name...

Does anyone have a recommendation for a pheasant taxidermist on the Front Range. I have found plenty online, but if you had a particularly good experience please let me know. 1st SD Hunt: We had great accommodations, found a ridiculous amount of birds on access lands, and even hunted in what...

Hello Gang, I recently bought my 2010 small game license in preparation for grouse season. As I do every year, I set the new 2010 small game regulations brochure on my nightstand for evening reading. The major changes to the WIA program were my main point of interest so I focused the majority...

Pheasant season is only months away so I ask: "What are the steps you take to get you dog ready for opener?" This will be my Brittany second season in the field. Last year I spend many hours doing basic exercises and lots of reps. When season came I had moderate expectations and she did a lot...

I am looking for some feedback to hopefully clear the air a bit about non-toxic shot. In SD, is it legal to use lead shot on WIA/Plot properties? I think there is a great deal of confusion about this in the hunting community. Thank You!

Who plans on making the last charge this weekend? It is a long off-season, and I can always use just one more! I would like to see some snow, but that doesn't look likely. Hopefully you guys left me a few!

I hunted extremely hard today with my pup, though it was a beautiful and exciting day, it was very frustrating. Today was the first time this seasonI kept track of flushes. 77 flushes for the day. only 3 of which were even remotely in range. 2 were hens 1 dead rooster Still beats the heck out...

I am heading out early Saturday morning for a one day break from home improvement! After taking a month break for the holidays, I am excited to get back out again. I was told my many hunters this fall that "the crowds" disappear in January, and I hope to find that to be true. So who are the...

I am hunting a Britt for the first time in Colorado this season. This Past Sunday a good snow/sleet storm swamped the area and left my Britt shivering uncontrollably. I got her to the car as quick as I could and warmed up. There is plenty of season to come yet and I imagine a few more snow...

So I am fairly new to CO and this is my first post on this forum. I picked up a new pup and want to try pheasant hunting in CO for the first time. It seems like the like the only secret in this state bigger than where to elk hunt is pheasant hunting! I have been doing a good amount of research...
