    Let's talk cattail strategies

    Today was in the low 40s with a 10 mph wind so like most days that end in Y i went hunting. My Reba is my cattail specialist. Almost can't keep her out of them. Today hunted a little creek bottom and field edge where there are patches of cattails . Reba and Willie both getting it done. Reba...

    2 day walk in trip

    You should know most of the time the farmer/rancher owns the land to the middle of the road so be careful about that argument. That is the #1 pet peeve of landowners and ditch hunting.

    Outer layer for rain/snow or just when it's extremely cold

    Frogg Toggs or as my dad calls them paper coat. Not 1/4 zip but cheap enough you don't need a sale.

    Bad luck

    If they are the same age and get equal usage i am not surprised they died at the same time. Also there may have been an electrical surge that caused that. I would need a way to check the charger also.

    GSP questions

    There are plenty of 40 pound female gsp. If that is you want just look /talk to different breeders and they will point you that way. They may bad mouth those dogs but if health clearances are good don't worry about other's opinions.

    The Pheasant Capitol of the world. Watching the dog run down that bird in plain sight only attests to how difficult it can be retrieve the runners in the junk.

    North Central South Dakota Report 11/20 - 11/24

    Evening hunt went like this. I ran 2 dogs and my buddy ran 3. My weims are going on 7 and know what is expected of them. My buddies draghts are 6,2,and 9 months. They get a little wild in the thick cover but he runs peepers and they are mostly steady so it's alright. A third guy was with us a...

    I have a Browning 20 gauge auto I can't shoot pheasants with. Out of 20 shots I hit 2 and neither were good hits. I can pass shoot doves just fine with that same gun. I have a cheap 12 gauge o/u that I shoot almost as bad as the Browning. My old 870 and my newest gun a Benelli 12 auto i shoot...

    North Central South Dakota Report 11/20 - 11/24

    Well you have probably heard it a 100x already but there is almost no need for a full choke. Today's shells just perform well . I shoot ic and have hammered birds at 60 yards. I don't like to shoot that distance but sometimes a second shot is needed. I have found a huge difference in shells but...

    Hunting with two dogs.

    Ran all 3 on more public ground this afternoon. 2 45 minutes runs. Not a single bird in the first spot but I wasn't surprised by that as there is fantastic private ground all around it. The second piece looked very promising with 2 dogs on point in the first 50 yards. It was a hen but...

    So Bob Peters doesnt have to ask.😄

    Karma is real guess which pair i wore out today? Not 100 yards from the truck and I remembered why I don't wear them out in the field. The heels are more important then the toes.

    Hunting with two dogs.

    Yesterday I hunted all 3 for about 2 hours on a wpa. This piece has been good to me since the 80s. There has been no corn around it for years and it is in a area that gets heavy traffic. I hunted it for a hour 2 weeks ago and got 2 roosters. There weren't many birds , I got the only rooster I...

    That would work if the cover wasn't thick enough to stop a sickle mower.

    What boots make it easiest to walk thru heavy cover? The flat ended ones, the rounded ones, or the pointed ones aka cock roach killers? Just having fun here.

    North Central South Dakota Report 11/20 - 11/24

    I have hunted a lot of cattail sloughs and thick crp weedy cover blanketed in sweet clover 5 foot high , but the growth this year is the thickest I have ever seen. I am waiting for a foot of snow to make things easier to navigate. At least I hope it works that way.

    FYI the dishwasher does a great job on cleaning up ballcaps. The power dishwasher not the betrothed one.

    Time for another e collar!!

    The 550 pro plus is easy to use. I don't use a watch but my friend who does complains that the watch and transmitter show different info at the same time. The more advanced Garmins aren't that difficult to use if you use them enough to really become familiar with them. They do offer way more...
