A great way to puff-off the locals. Listen to West KS.

Nice to get that rain to rehydrate things. Up here in IA were went through about 75 days of next to no anything, this week we received about 1.5" between two rains. That is a start, but she really dried out Aug, Sept and Oct. We did get rains thought the growing season until the first days of...

I can count on one hand the number of times I have pheasant hunted and not broke a sweat...the answer would be none. I think myself and most people over dress, but you will be cold for the first 20 minutes (or until the first bird is in the coat/vest-they are a good heater) if you are still...

If they are novice shooters they will very likely be challenged with shooting any flying bird. Another vote for a local game farm until they can connect on flying birds some what consistently.

Welcome from NW Iowa. Hope your GSP is recovering. Thanks for your service to the country. This is fun site with a bit of bragging, sharing info and knowledge, with some occasional BS mixed-in. Everyone like pics with your stories!

Thanks Nick. I shot about 250 birds to finds these 4. Harder than you imagine when you want birds that aren't shot-up or mauled by dogs, mature, fully feathered with long spurs.

Less than 20 minutes. I started at 20 after and by 8:45 I was heading back to town after gathering/watering the dog, getting a few pics and putting the gear away. Probably the quickest in & out I have ever had. I have shot 3 birds in much quicker succession, but the overall time of the hunt...

Get that foot healed-up and we will get you out here some morning!

On a "blink twice and you are limited" morning, you would want some other hunters with you, if you had to travel far to get there. It was quite the rush and my legs don't hurt now!

My second outing/second weekend, and darkest morning of the season (with the time change, tomorrow morning with be brightly lit). I was watching the TV and surfing the net, it was now after 8:00 and it was like Gus knew the time and was really getting annoyed with me. So, I get my boots on and...

Wednesday thru wednesday night we received .75" of rain, that should help the dogs with scenting and reduce the accidental fire hazards.

Kevin, have your started using inserts or switching out all your inserts with ones for plantar fasciitis? I had that going on this summer, but it is finally clearing-up.

Maybe eating out of a local bird feeder?

Well, maybe an out of state plate on a hunting rig with hunting dogs in it was enough to peak his interest. I almost alway take off my coat and hat (any orange) when am driving, before and after, to avoid stops of that sort, a GSP in the front seat would likely be enough to assume I have been...

"No license" is likely the most violated offense they encounter, hunting or fishing. I have zero issue with them checking me for compliance...I hope they find the slobs with over the limits/trespassers while they are out...assuming those guys are out there. airmed, you were stopped after you...

Thanks. Bobcat, found will pheasant hunting, there is a half buried empty 12 ga case in there too. Mark can do about whatever you imagine or find a pic of on the net. I sourced the post, wire and grass (and 2 of the roosters) from our farms and mounted the post/wire to the base. I also...

Hey Kevin, I couldn't figure out how to get a pic into the conversation log. Here is the mount Mark did for me. 4 stud birds, I had planned on 3, but got the 4th with some of the best tailfeathers I have ever shot, he had to get worked-in!

What in the #### happened to do that?

As said, you likely had orange on, a dog hanging his head out or he had been watching you already. The COs have a lot of authority to do their jobs. I am not too worried about them, about the worst I do, I ride on a tailgate with an unloaded shotgun...not even sure that is illegal. I am not...

Here was our opener 21 years ago....
