    Warmest supple gloves for 15 degree weather

    Right now I’m wearing some mountain hardware route setters. I get 2 or 3 years out of a pair of gloves. At thanksgiving my brother in law had on a pair of hestra job titan flex . European sizes he was wearing 9s . I like a little air so maybe 10s for me. I like the pre curved style of glove. At...

    Kansas First-timer

    First couple hrs of day or last hour before dark. Where crp meets crop. During the middle of the day on public land like that pheasants will walk into the core and find someplace. safe The tall grass is probably the hardest thing to hunt at Texas lake. It’s over your head tall and clumpy and...

    Kansas First-timer

    I don’t know the rotations this year , but you’ll probably see some cotton and beans If possible Id hunt fields closer to milo, wheat stubble, corn. Texas lake you can get wet pretty easy. Bring extra socks and boots if have them. Check the plum thickets, wild sunflower weed patches and the...

    Some people aren’t happy unless they are pissed off. I don’t think you did anything wrong.

    Dumping mud

    I had to dump some the other day in the middle of the road. Not usually my style. I grabbed a hold of the hitch leaned back and took care of it. Backed up straddling it so my dog wouldn’t be tempted to get into it when she got out of the box.

    Kuiu upland vest

    I front loaded until last season. Maybe people have been doing this for years. But Sunday I loaded a mallard and a rooster by cradling each on my wrist and the underside of my forearm and they rear loaded pretty easy.

    What’s everyone using for non toxic shell’s? For pheasants

    It’s through a fabarm LM LM top and bottom. I haven’t been able to do any bettter IM gives me a few more pellets but donuts I think? And I had a choke made that’s between IM and Full. It donuts too but not as much and gives me an honest 70 percent. LM in a beretta pintail patterns about like...

    Kuiu upland vest

    Yeah that price is hard to swallow. Treat yourself I doubt you’ll regret it. I just figured this out yesterday. I have no flexibility. If you cup that bird like a football to load it in the back, for me it went in a lot easier.

    What’s everyone using for non toxic shell’s? For pheasants

    I’m not sold on the Kent’s yet. I’d been wondering if velocity up close has been causing them to fracture and get poor penetration. Pretty small sample and some shooter error but I haven’t had a clean kill in the 20 yd range yet. 3 have been hit but not well and kept flying. Another 2 have...

    Kuiu upland vest

    Looks like it’s sold out in blaze. The price is definitely more attractive. What I like about final rise, chief, and marsupial is that they are American success stories and have a face that you can relate to. I don’t know enough about chief to know how he got started. The other two got started...

    Time for another e collar!!

    I lose track of my little dog all the time. I think the pathfinder 2 would be great with a flushing dog. It would be ideal with a watch. I wonder how well it works with a cheap android or apple knock off. I don’t need all the functions , just an arrow and the tone function would be plenty.

    Blockers, what chokes are you using.

    I patterned some federal bismuth with the flight control wad. It went from 192 pellets at 30 yds to 111 at 35. It was through a light mod. Maybe improved cylinder would have done better. I think you choke looser with that wad to get tighter?

    What grass is this?

    Look at Kernza( perennial wheat) I don’t think that’s what you have but maybe. My brother in law has some of the land institutes test plots on his farm. His dad was big into it. It’s taller like that.

    Rain

    I didn’t mess with Kansas I couldn’t think of enough places that I hunt that I could get to. Boy a lot of people did though. Driving up here cars were parked on about every blacktop walkin I drove by. I followed some hunters for a while from Maine . That’s a first. On her rotation Wally the nose...

    And thus it begins

    I don’t believe it’s near as gloomy as people are saying. From what I’m hearing there are going to be a lot of birds shot opening day. Good luck this weekend.
