Looks like you found some old birds! Beautiful dog! Setter?

My Grandpa had this on VHS. I'm pretty sure I watched it so many times, that Grandma made it dissappear after several dozen viewings! Thanks for sharing! I'm watching this right now, with my ten year old. He just told me, "I feel bad for you, if this is what hunting videos were like when you...

I have not been down that way yet. Today I hit a walk-in piece in Dakota County. I had three hens sit tight, but they were the only birds I saw. I am planning to hit some public spots further west on Wednesday. Will have to see what the weather does. They're calling for 3-7" of snow, starting...

I didn't hold up my end of the bargain today. We got a later start than I had hoped for this morning. The piece of IHAP I wanted to hunt was a 45-50 minute drive. When I got there, there were already two pickups parked there. So much for that! On the way to this field, I drove past a couple...

I've tried to love the Mucks, but they just don't fit right for me, and it takes an act of God to get them off! I bit the bullet last Summer and ordered a pair of Gumleaf rubber boots. The Viking Neo, I believe, was the model they had in stock, in my size. They have a thin neoprene liner...

In the last two years of hard hunting, I have several 24" feathers. Dad killed one last season that broke 25". There was a local Country Store in N.E. NE that used to run a weekly tail feather contest in the late 80's-early 90's. I'm certain I won once with a 28" feather. I do remember the...

Thanks for the link! I have been looking for a copy of this for a long time. Previous to this, I had never found one that was priced reasonably. I have a copy ordered! I have read A Sand County Almanac several times. I also like A Hunter's Road and The Sporting Road, by Jim Fergus. I was out of...

My dogs love to fish! Berkley will not rest if there is a line in the water. Cash enjoys retrieving walleye from the livewell.

I've been wondering how you had been doing? Looks like you guys have had a great season! I would love to get into some partridge. I don't think I've seen any since the late '80's. The dogs have put up a couple small covey's of quail this season, but I haven't taken any shots at them. They are...

Nice work Remy and Huede! My last 4 days off I was laid up with a stomach bug. My poor dogs have only hunted once in the last two weeks. I'm off Wednesday-Saturday. We're going to give these Iowa birds a good run before it's over!

Pheasant numbers are good in the Northeast corner of the state. Opportunities for public land may not be what they are in other parts of the state. I have a friend from the McCook area, he normally goes back to hunt for 2 weeks in November. He didn't even bother to make the trip this year. If...

I had a Browning Cynergy that would do that with hot loads. Not every time, but often enough that it cost me shots at birds. I had a reputable gunsmith look it over, and he found nothing wrong. It would shoot 1 1/4 oz loads at 1330 fps, all day long. Anything hotter than that and it would...

Not pheasant hunting related at all, but I once head shot (and killed) two turkeys with a single arrow. That was a LONG time ago. Video was on YouTube at one time.

That is how the guides left them. We separated them before we left the next day. I would never freeze that many fish in a single bag!

Early to mid-90's, pre-bulldozer/excavator era, my cousin and I were hunting while a heavy snow was falling. . We were walking a thick fenceline in the middle of a section. We did not have a dog, but the birds were thick back then. We came upon a wider cane patch in the fenceline, and fresh...

Merry Christmas!

Devil's was a blast! Tuesday the high temp was -17°, and it was windy. The perch were a grind, but we got enough that all of us came home with a full quart bag. This was my Dad's first ice fishing trip. He loved it. He is pictured with our first days catch. Wednesday morning will be a death bed...

That smile says it all! Please tell him congratulations!!!

I'm stuck at work and have been waiting for your report! Another great hunt!

Looks like fun! The extended forecast is calling for more normal temps after Christmas.
