Great Bend area

I guess you missed the point. We are not talking about one single farmer, we are talking about farming practices across the county. It is great that you have someone who manages ground that way, but they other 99% doesn't.

Well that's one family out of hundreds. There are lots of participants in CRP, unfortunately most of them allow grazing and cutting at the first opportunity. Very few leave it untouched during drought. They cut and bale every inch of grass along state/county highways and public utilities...

That is not true. I lived in Decatur county for years and farming practices have changed drastically and so has the habitat. Farmers and landowners have everything to do with pheasant numbers. If we have habitat, regardless of weather, we will have plenty of birds. It is much easier to blame...

Pockets of birds simply refers to where there is habitat there will be birds. The strips of CRP has gotten smaller and smaller so you have to drive further and further between area's. I don't know why they use the term pockets. I guess because they don't want to admit that our habitat has...

Don't have to be in standing water for wet feet. And like I said, I hate lacing. My Mucks are so much more comfortable than my Irish Setter Wingshooters and Danner Pronghorns.

I always take 2 guns on a trip. Both are very expensive. Life is too short to own a cheap gun. Actually I don't consider $1500 or $2000 expensive for a gun when you figure what you pay a year for gas, auto insurance, eating out, etc. At least with a gun, you can have them for a lifetime vs...

I have a Briley Extended Light Modified that I like but used the Mod for shooting the 3 shots.

So I took 3 shots just as I would be shooting a bird today, no aiming like a rifle, just a natural shot and here is what it looks like. I was going for a 60/40 shot distribution. I did not count pellets but I would say I am pretty close to 60/40. I could shim down to a D shim and lower POI...

I try and buy one new shotgun every year. Bought the M2 a week ago. Have a new Browning A5 20 on order. And I am on the hunt for a mint condition Ithaca Model 37 20 gauge with a 26 inch vent rib and Improved Cylinder.

I always grab my synthetic guns on rainy or snowy days, my Browning Maxus Wicked Wing or my new Benelli M2. If I were on a budget, I would consider a CZ over the ones mentioned. Personally, I own a lot of guns, and all are Benelli or Browning. I would not consider any of them back-ups.

I went out and shot my gun at paper tonite. Shoots about dead on. Best shell and choke combo was a modified Briley extended tube and Winchester Super Pheasant #5. Golden Pheasant #5 had to many holes in the pattern.

So you keep the bead in front of the bird. Birds rise so the Benelli is designed to shoot a 60/40 split high. You may pattern high, but if you are using the bead, you will be deadly in the field. That is why many people struggle shooting a low rib Montefeltro. I tend to shoot low and behind...

Mine loads easy. Don't know how old your guns are but the M2 got a make-over last year. Much different gun now. I am going to pattern it with Briley tubes. Most factory tubes pattern poorly. If your gun shot high and left, that is because the gun did not fit you. That is what the shim...

Bought a new Benelli M2 20 gauge in Optifade camo yesterday. Took it dove hunting last night and really enjoyed shooting it. Much different than shooting the low rib Montefeltro's. As usual, not a hiccup from a Benelli.

Not wanting to give up a bird or wing when a pup is introduced is what you want to see. That is not being hard-headed, that is a dog with strong prey drive. Dogtra Arc is a great e-collar and very inexpensive. Retail is under $250. That is less than 3 bags of dog food. As far as...

Take a look at the ones I posted above and see what you think.

Who wears muck style boots for upland hunting and what are your favorites? I am done with lace up boots for several reasons. One they always manage to leak at some point, I am always re-tying the laces, and I hate bending over to lace them up. I miss the speed laces and wind up skipping a...

Different spot, same result today. Took a little longer today but had our limit within 1.5 hours. Hunted over water this time.
