I did something like that today. My dog flushed a beautiful, full color rooster. I missed it with two layup shots. All I can remember is the bird's long tail waving in the wind.

I think that it is natural for our eyes to focus on the fastest moving objects in our field of vision. On a flushing pheasant that would be the wings. Many wounded birds are simply shot through one wing. At least that has been my experience.

My female pointing Lab is 9 this season. After she hunted earlier this fall, she seemed very uncomfortable and in some pain. My wife ordered some glucosamine canine chews. I have been giving these to the dog with meals. I have noticed that she seems to be less uncomfortable and recovers more...

I shot a very young rooster this morning, not at all unlike one of your birds. I suspect we are seeing some very late hatch birds.

Oh, I agree. Common sense and years of experience suggest that I will see and meet other hunters on public land on a weekend opener. You can still respect each other while hunting limited public land.

I have question for those complaining about hunters showing up at a WMA after another vehicle is in the parking lot. I am a rather new resident of Minnesota. But I have noticed that a number of the WMAs in this state are very large but have very few parking areas or access points. Do some of...

Thanks, Dad.

Much of shooting is psychological and confidence in your guns and ammo helps with performance. There many that believe they can purchase skill. Heavy marketing feeds into this magical thinking.

My bad. Forgive me, I meant to say barn grouse.

Had one of the most outstanding September hunting seasons. I have been involved in taking 100 birds since September 1st. Pigeons, doves, geese, prairie chickens, ruffed grouse. Over half of the birds were taken over or retrieved by my dog.

It looks as though that Federal Flight Control wad used in the Black Cloud shells is resistant to the effects of choke. Several years ago, I purchased a few bags of the wads used in the Black Cloud shells. They were on closeout at a gun shop in Salt Lake City. I tried several different steel...

I called and spoke to grouse research with MN DNR. The battery on the radio beacon is dead. They last about a year. The bird had both a radio beacon and a leg band. I sent the numbers off both and tail and wing feathers in. The beacon was used to determine the prairie chicken use of cattle...

Just got home from our prairie chicken hunt. My neighbor got on bird from a covey "popcorn" flush on Saturday morning. I choked. I got two birds with single shots on single flushes Sunday morning. One of my birds was the subject of a government surveillance program as it had a radio beacon...

A couple of years ago, at annual pheasant camp in Iowa, we took pigeon breast, dredged in frying mix, and deep fried it. We then coated in Buffalo Wild Wings sauces. We used the hot sauce and Parmesan garlic. All of it was eaten and nobody complained. There is much call to do it again this year

I have fixed pigeon as fajitas. It's not bad at all. Most people would say they taste better than that goose that I shot. The bacon wrapped poppers in the photo was made with dove. After hunting season, I will likely take all the pigeon meat, along with goose, pheasant legs, etc, grind it a...

Tru dat! The appropriate term is barn grouse.

We have hunting doves and pigeons for a couple of weeks. This next weekend, my neighbor an I are heading up to NW Minnesota to hunt prairie chickens. Hoping it cools off soon.

Had a first this morning. I shot a Canada goose with a 16 gauge 5/8oz #7 steel reload while dove hunting.

After working today, my neighbors and I helped a dairy farmer reduce his pigeon population this evening. We got 9 pigeons and 3 doves. Tomorrow morning we are hunting a grain field for doves.
