I have hunted with some off of this forum before and with the exception of a couple, would do it again. I hunted with one guy I have known for 35 years. He was a good friend, and we had many adventures pushing birds in 5-6 different states. He had many annoying qualities but we got along fairly...

The herding instinct was strong in mine too. She would do it to pretty much anyone that came over. She was also fairly protective of the homestead. This was before my wife had Amazon here everyday. I wouldn’t be able to leave her out now. Funny thing she had none of those characteristics when I...

So the smartest dog I have ever owned was a Border Collie/ Blue Healer Named Lucy. When she was about two we bought half of my in-law’s property and built a house. Our properties together was about 7 acres. She learned quickly that they were part of her tribe and she would patrol the property...

Ha yes now that I went to the dark side I have had to work on how I respond to people that ask if mine is a doodle 😀

You guys sound like the old fart that runs a decent game farm north of me an hour or so. He comments every time how dumb I am for driving 8hrs to sd when I could just come to him. Swears he had to start raising his own because sd buys them all and puts them on state land to fool dumbasses like...

Now the state is doing Cryogenics? Holy shit that’s a game changer

Do you think they froze together last winter? I heard some farmers had to scrape their carcasses of the fields so they could even plant.

Shhhh. We are not supposed to talk about that

I don’t know the fact they wanted the old shells back makes me think possibly they are going to do some investigation on their own. I don’t know enough about all the manufacturing to make a judgment, but I always get suspicious when what I am buying is short of what I am expecting. Maybe they...

I had that exact experience a couple years ago hunting by myself. The road slowly got worse the further in I went. At 1/2 mile or so the gravel all but disappeared with no way to turn around. Finally I found a flatter area with some grass. I just did basically a u turn through it hoping there...

Personally I have needed 4WD enough times on just a frozen road with a little snow, that I probably wouldn’t venture outside the gravel without one. Where guys get in trouble is thinking 4WD is a license to go anywhere. It is not and you will get stuck waay worse with it then without. Like has...

To a guy that has never lived in Pheasant country, that odd crowing or sound they make in the evening is eerie. When you have had a long day pounding cattails on one of the big areas of SD and they start sounding off a little after sunset when it’s getting cold fast. Almost like they’re laughing...

BTW I found about 40 yesterday morning I’m going to fry up with some Wagu burgers tomorrow. I like them about once a season

There is a guy in Topeka right now finding 20-30 lbs a day north along the river. Stands outside his house from 5-9 handing them out for 50 bucks a pound. They really exploded with the rain we got last weekend. I go back and forth on the selling. Most of the time we applaud entrepreneurs, until...

I have said all along he probably drives a F-350 King Ranch and has 2k in his hunting clothes and 6k in his gun and drinks Michelob Ultra. The rube act is crap. Probably runs a pointing lab and pays to hunt.

Yep it seems to happen more in the off season when people get a little bored.

Yep this thread will go nowhere quick.

Self reflection

50-60 a pound here. It is a big business. There are little markets in KC that buy bulk at 40 a pound and resell by the 1/4 pound. My uncle owns some creek bed property and his neighbors hired hand claims to have found and sold a couple hundred pounds in a good year. I like them a couple times...

Pheasants for sure will move 8-10 miles to find what they need. I would hunt north of 90 west river twice a year. Once in late October and again week before Christmas. In October we would find birds on his north property about ten miles from the highway. Once it got cold the would go south to...
