I heard something today that made me think of this thread. A guy told a new trainer "an e collar is a 600yard long hand smack"

3/4oz #9 TSS. Same penetration as steel BB and bismuth #2. 2" gel penetration at 53yd. Note I would never ever take a shot even close to this range, pattern testing was done for Ballistic Products for their load development. But clearly it would work, no pheasant is making it through that.

By the hw23 exit? In may, would have been the 12th, there was about 20 turkeys/poults walking around on the edge there

We dont have two definitions of pricy, we are talking about two different foods. Although $2/lb+ is pricy imo, but all food is going up these days. I referenced vet only prescription allergy food that is grain free, you mentioned a standard off the shelf grain free food. Just two different...

There's rattlers in Minnesota? Timber rattlers apparently, just looked it up. Hasnt been anyone bit in the wild since 96.

Be careful with grain free when not needed. Its been big talk in training clubs the last few years that more and more trainers that end up with dogs having DCM when feeding grain free. My vet said absolutely no grain free food when getting puppy shots and talking food choices with this last dog...

Have you ever sat at a store and watched women park? Sounds like a huge problem having a bunch of support posts all over a parking lot.. I had to go to kohls the other day for a dress shirt.. it was absolutely hilarious, there was 8 or 9 pickups parked way in the back by themselves, and...

I shot a rooster in solar pannels last season. Farmer said it was okay, just dont hit a pannel or it would be thousands in fines. I guess the solar company leases the ground for the pannels but only owns the pannels and access road in? It was nice crp style weeds/grass in there and lots of birds

Yep just went through it with a lab. My cause was a bacon treat he was getting (as best as i can tell). My vet gave Prednisone which cleared it up immediately, then had me stop ALL food other than his regular dog food for 1 month. Then slowly introduce a treat or supplement one at a time...

Ive decided this year I am buying a tag. Suppose i could go do that now. Too many times flushing/jumping them in the fall. They about give you a heart attack when they flush, might as well get even and make some turkey jerky

Its tradition, to get that Thanksgiving bird. Iowa does a quota system since you can shoot hens, the tags never sell out though besides the low pop zones that only allow like 200 tags. Its hard to shoot a fall bird in most places, you have deer, bird, and small game hunters out in the woods...

People don't realize how good sweet corn fields used to be. Before everything went chemical fertilizer they would hand pick the ears and leave the stalks standing all winter to prevent nitrogen loss and top soil erosion. These days, like everything else, they get mowed down/discd as they are...

My retriever was retrieving dead pigeons at 3mo and finding them in tall grass, and i "worked" (played) with him every single day from the day i got him at 7wks. A paint roller once a week is a missing out on a whole lot of good fetching and bonding time with your pup. Dont be lazy, dogs are...

I once shot a rio steel shell ( 1 1/4 2) that put i think 35ish pellets on a 30" circle at 35yds with IC choke. I thought I missed the board. Had someone else shoot it and it looked like a blunderbuss, shot hitting ground in front of it, 3 feet to every side.. it was actually pretty funny. Same...

Force fetch is an obedience like you said, it also cleans up the whole retrieving/holding process. Teaches to pick up anything on command, hold it, soft mouth, being calm with birds, and to not ever let a bird go once it has it. Full FF is not needed for upland, but it does help in a lot of...

Gotcha. We are going to plant a cover plot next year in one field and have been trying to decide on either a mix or just making my own mix of sorghum/millet

Is that a pheasants forever mix then? Star used to do the mixed for PF habitat store

Millet is good early season food for upland birds. Millet loses its seed easily so it doesn't last into late season, although it stands pretty well and can be ground cover. If you have a millet food plot field nearby, there will probably be pheasant in it next month if they arent there now. Its...

Havent seen a one from the road since early July, but the cover is extremely tall this year from all the july rains so they probably arent in any of the ditches/field edges like they were last year. Last cut of hay is about to happen (or is happening), that will push some out to be visible. I...
