Saw the Revel on the road last week. Looks like a great vehicle and the answer, but the price …. https://www.winnebago.com/models/product/motorhomes/camper-van/revel

The spot in SW MN where we "saw" them running was in short brome grass out of the wind. The grass was just moving away from us like a wave. This is twice now in the last week or so I have seen birds moving in the grass ... they can get pretty low when they want to. Agree ... most of the...

One day hunting trip to SW MN ... Hunted Friday only. > Cover is absolutely the thickest and tallest it has been in many years. No grass cut this year on emergency haying declarations and the early rains made the grass especially thick and tall. Long blue stem was easily 5+ feet tall in...

Most were small …

Was out yesterday 9 - noon. Took one rooster. My Brittany was casting out and I could tell he was on a bird. He was out about 30 yards in front of me and starting to lock up facing me (that said the wind was coming at him over his butt and not into his face) ... I look out front and to...

ND used to release pheasants some 30+ years ago. They banded them so you knew if you killed a released bird. They typically released them before season and a week or two into the season on game management areas owned and controlled by the state. They stopped the plan as CRP became a thing...

Bison win 13-9 with a late Q4 92-yard touchdown drive.

All relative. Eastern Montana is in the northern banana belt so ... yes Dickinson is more often colder than say Billings which has an average January temperature of 37F.

SW ND has been pay to play for some time. Nothing new except bird numbers are not quite what they were some years ago. SW ND also does not have the same amount of cover that most of ND does. What it has is offer are milder temperatures and more moderate rainfall than further north or east...

Huns can live in the most marginal of cover. It is interesting that they really do not need expanses of grassland (aka CRP). They need lots of edges and do best if small grain fields are nearby.

Watch where you park your truck. Avoid any taller grass that might touch the undercarriage. Smokers - well keep it inside the cab.

Just posted on MN page. Epic winds again. Tomorrow on the westside of MN.

Looks like this afternoon and tomorrow will be epic winds on the westside of the state and quite windy everywhere else. Friday rather windy too.

Some run, but just as many burrow into thick grass within feet of where they fell. Early season (plants still green) especially this year (dry) make it especially difficult if they do not move.

Boy are the scenting conditions horrible especially in the grass. Took a ruffed grouse this morning and a rooster this afternoon. That does not happen very often (for me anyways).

High wind sucks. It often becomes more of a stock than a hunt. We have found high numbers of birds stockpiled together in rather small cover more than once in high winds. Often some roosters will just jump up into the brush and not fly (yes - wild birds). Those that get up are gone in a...

Nonresidents may not hunt any game during the first seven days of the pheasant season on North Dakota Game and Fish Department wildlife management areas or on Conservation PLOTS areas. Private land and federal land (USF&WS WPAs) are open to nonresidents. State school lands not mentioned so I...

Small grain field nearby? Almost looks like barley ... maybe wheat. Rare find in southern MN.

Homer KFAN radio is great. Paul Allen calling the Vikings games ... Noon to three or so (except in SD) is a good time to take a quick lunch and chill. Listening to Vikes is great. In MN I usually hunt hard 9 - noon or 1. Take a break and then start working cover 3 to sunset ... if need...
