That's a general rule of thumb. Some breeds are more predisposed to using both ground and air scent and I'm sure some individual dogs that come from breeds that use only air scent or ground scent will learn to use both. I know my dogs will use both air and ground scent and different times...

Yeah I checked shipping costs and apparently it's free shipping too. I already have a vest from them but I considered ordering their Sidekick vest for warm early season hunts and dog training but I'll probably hold off as I can order just the Sidekick belt system and use the strap/yoke from my...

Noticed online the other day that GoHunt is having a 20% off sale on certain brands and that Final Rise vests are included in the sale. For anyone like me that was keeping their eye on those vests for awhile knows they never seem to go on sale directly through Final Rise. Just wanting to share...

I don't own one of these particular guns but I own several autos, I try to make it a yearly winter project to fully strip and clean the guns after a season of use. Then just keep up with normal cleaning and oiling of high impact wear parts throughout the season. Also a tip, learn via forums or...

I think we have the same gun Bob haha

Yeah I donate every year. I think they just keep that information internal.

As I've gotten older, I've been graduating down in gun size haha started with a 20 but then used a 12 a long time, then a 16 gauge, now this year I'll be back a 20 gauge as my primary shotgun.

Hell I use 2.75"s and never have an issue. If you check ballistics, alot of times 2.75s will perform better than a 3 inch shell. Usually 2.75s give you more FPS too comparing equivalent shells.

150 miles west of the Twin Cities puts you around Marshall, which is what some may consider the unofficial "Pheasant Capital of MN" so now I'm just confused where the good areas are 😂

The Nature Conservancy also does a lot of work up in the NW area for sharpies and chickens. Which is great. Bonus of all that work is the ample extra public hunting land that's not on any MN DNR website. Any Nature Conservancy land up there is open to public hunting IF the land was acquired...

Plenty of Sharpies in MN. Do some researching and you can find good areas. Attached is a picture after one walk at a spot in MN. Currently planning another trip up there this fall.

I look at an e-collar as a tool and nothing more. Can you train a dog without one? Absolutely. The same way that you can whoa train a dog without a training table. Most of my dogs training was done without an e-collar being worn. That said, the reason alot of guys train their dogs with an...

I toyed around with adding the LEER locker but decided against it. Seemed too much of a pain to pull down all the time.

Without completely hot spotting the areas I hunt, I've been hunting between south of Lac qui Parle and Worthington for a long time and have always done well. I hunt purely public land, so I don't have any private land recommendations however. That's a rather large area of course, but I've hunted...

Was he unhappy with the LEER or the overhead gun vault?

I imagine any place around there would be put and take/game farm joints. Morris is getting a little bit out of the core pheasant range. At least for a good quality hunt.

I put the same on my 2018 Silverado about 4 months after buying it. The ranchos they come with are garbage compared to the 5100s

Here's what I ended up putting together for an in field kit. Everything in the one picture fits nicely into the accessory pouch of my final rise vest, which sits on the side of the vest. Enough for some minor things to either keep hunting or to get back to the truck if more aid is required.

Yeah conservation wise, the DNR may need to decide what the priority is in that region. Chickens or pheasants. If they believe it to be a cause for population problems of course. They monitor the population there quite a bit so it may be an option should the population starts to get below their...

Chickens generally have a much faster wing beat than Pheasants. When they get up, their wings are really flapping but they also have a wing pattern that goes something like "flap flap flap glide, flap flap flap glide". The coloration is different, but they are similar to a hen. Chickens are a...
