    Midwest Pheasant Harvest - 24 Seasons

    I was thinking soil bank but wasn’t sure when it ended. That’s a dramatic drop. I thought it ended earlier.

    Midwest Pheasant Harvest - 24 Seasons

    What happened in South Dakota between 1963 and 1964? Weather event? Assuming that's not a typo.... it has never been close to that since.

    TSS Pass-through

    How many ounces of shot were in their 2 3/4 16 gauge loads? 1 1/4? I accidentally bought a box of the 3/5 from them last year thinking they were 5s.

    TSS Pass-through

    I have a box and a half of Kent 5 but like we said last season it just doesn’t cut it on WPA birds. Guess I’ll pack the 12 gauge this year if we hit any of those.

    TSS Pass-through

    I’ve been using TSS 9’s on turkeys since 2018. Would get pricey on roosters. I wounded turkey last year I had to finish off and found pellets under the skin. First time. They’re tiny and would require a trip to the dentist. A5 is sidetracked because BOSS isn’t selling his [and my) 16 gauge...

    Doesn't take long in that summer heat for the ground to turn into concrete.

    Dog scratching constantly

    Have a labradoodle that I give a steroid shot a couple of times a year. Takes care of the itching pretty well. Side effect is he drinks a lot of water. I also switched him to Fromm dog food and it seemed to help some as well.

    Franchi 48 al

    Nice. Watch a couple of videos from Art's Gun Shop on Youtube about the Browning Auto 5 and it'll help you understand how the gun operates. It is basically a copy. Rings may be a little different but I'm sure you can find diagrams online for your model of Franchi.

    Franchi 48 al

    No they don't run dry. The magazine tube should be clean of any crud buildup. The tube requires a heavy oil like motor oil. It will not cycle without the magazine tube being clean and lightly lubricated. They should not jam if set up correctly. The second thing would be having the rings set...

    Franchi 48 al

    Yep. Set em heavy and only set light if it won’t cycle.

    Franchi 48 al

    I have a 20 that I hunted with for years. Same feel as Auto 5 recoil wise… nice light field guns.

    OT- homemade meals while on the road

    Breakfast burritos are filling and easy. Lunch in field. Chili or hearty soups, fajitas with birds hunted last night or multiple….

    Cost of raising pigeons?

    I just started this June with a group of squeakers. Had a couple fly off but have 8 that are homing real nice. I let them out every evening and they go in to roost when they’re ready. They don’t cost much to feed. Will start using them this fall for training. As far as getting them to home...

    Olap fee

    People would’ve paid it in 2015 and 2016. Not so sure about now. Having said that I met several out of state turkey hunters at Black Kettle on the opener. I don’t have any experience on the OLAP properties. I’ve asked biologists out west a few times about them and they never had much to say.

    Olap fee

    They already shut out non res hunters on WMAs the last two weeks of the season last year or year before. On WMAs. I just took a look at the new fees. Nonresident prices really shot up.
