Well on our way back from SD this past weekend we stopped at Scheels in Sioux Falls and low and behold they had the new Beretta A400 28ga Upland Magnum, well after about 2 minutes of holding it and pondering I pulled the trigger. It'll go nicely with my other A400 28ga and A400 20ga. Best part...

We ended up not camping and staying in a different part of the state more south in a house that we have access to. Our group did ok, 4 guys 4 labs, 1 of the guys came up from florida after moving last year so he & his dog haven't hunted in 2 years and it showed. It was extremely dry so the dogs...

I don't mind hunting after snow or even in a snow storm, but 10-14 inches and 30+ mph winds is a bit much. If this trip hadn't been in the works for months and time taken off of work and a guy driving up from florida we would probably move it a week. But it's not anything we haven't hunted in...

Our group will be heading out tuesday morning and looking at the forecast they are basically calling for a blizzard starting wednesday night all the way till friday morning, 25-35mph winds and 8-10 inches of snow. should keep tent camping interesting for us, gotta love hunting after the first snow!

went out for opener this weekend, had a group of 5 on one piece of public and another group of 2 across the road on a different piece. All told, 7 man limit by 9:30 with numerous misses by a couple of guys. A friend of mine and myself walked an edge with cut beans next to it. I should have been...

Was out a couple weeks ago in the SE part of the state and there was a lot of haying that took place the first part of August. From what we found on the USDA site the county needs to be in D2 or worse to be able to be hayed. With that being said I am not holding my breath that the rest of the...

Well luckily I wasn't doing any training I was just out for a walk, so I would say that is a extremely gray area. I looked up the federal site for WPA's and they are very specific on refuges and training but nothing really in regards to a normal WPA. Either way I have walked this spot for years...

Did a scouting trip saturday morning to the area we hunt for opener and we were shocked at the numbers we saw. Every spot we scouted we saw numerous birds and broods on the roads, needless to say we are pretty pumped for opening day. I even took a walk with the dogs this morning about 20 mins...

You could easily full time in it, we use the back garage area as our girls bedroom. They have there own space and their own bathroom too. I just got my new tent yesterday, ordered the Gazelle T4 hub tent and I can honestly say I am impressed with how nice it is. Sets up in 90 seconds and comes...

Here is our setup which is obviously a little large for hunting, so it stays at home. Plus a dually is a little tricky on minimum maintenance roads!

It appears on top of our normal pheasant camp for MN opener this year we will be tent camping for our annual SD trip. This will be a similar camp to MN with tents and just electrical so we will have to bring water and all the other things needed. We do this trip in the middle of November so a...

I have camped numerous times for hunting, we usually tent camp/bird camp for MN opener with a couple of us that all set up tents at a farm in SW MN and do it the that way. I have also camped numerous times in SD at a state park in our campers. And last year myself and a buddy slept in our trucks...

My wife has the orvis pants and likes them.

A couple of the guys I hunt with went out today and did some with their 28/20 & 16ga and they patterned 4's, 5's, 6's & 7's and the overall feeling was 5's & 6's out of a IC or LM was the best pattern. The 28ga was a A400 & Ethos and the 20ga was a Beretta 303 and A400 and the 16 was a A5.

week after christmas, cold temps frozen sloughs and usually no other hunters at any public spot.

Most of the guys I hunt with shoot boss and we range from 28ga to 12ga and everything in between and we all love the shells. We shoot, 3/5 combo's, 4's, 5's and some guys with the 12's shoot 6's and none of use have anything bad to say about the shells. Customer service is top notch and we like...

I am the same way and I get my hearing checked yearly for work. I spoke to our safety rep who does the testing and he let me in on something that I never even thought of. But he asked me if I drive with my window down and I said yes, he said well there is your hearing loss. I guess I never...

I've got a pair of custom molded sound gear and really like them. They do pick up a little wind noise and the sound of boots going through dry crp can be a bit loud but the sound suppression and amplification of voices is really nice! plus they fit amazing and I can hardly tell I am wearing...

I have had a wings works vest for the last 10 years and love it, it's bulletproof! But this year at pheasant fest I pulled the trigger on a new Final Rise Summit vest and have to say I am very impressed with the quality and weight of it. Hopefully it holds up as well as my wings works!

Shot IC out of my 28 all season up until the last day in Iowa when I switched to a LM due to birds flushing long.
