Excellent machine! Four years no issues, have plenty of shells.

South of 80 in eastern Iowa ihas 1 to 2 inches. So far a mild winter except a few days.

I sort of do that. If you know how many roosters where harvested in the area I would think you would have that many hens left. Then i add 25% of the harvest # for both hens and roosters. It's hard to estimate. I probably have way more than 25% of the rooster population left after season. 😀

His eyes do look a little wild there! Lol Maybe he realized it was the last day of season. No snow south of 80 and maybe south of 20. Highs is the 40's has melted what little we had.

My son went with me yesterday. It was warm! We hunted until 12:00 and took a break. The wirehair on the left was wore out, had to almost prop him up for pics We hunted with Otis in the afternoon and got 2 more roosters. The last bird was at 4:15, winged bird in the muddy food plot after 4...

Had a couple good hunts this weekend. The birds were holding better, maybe the damp overcast days, not sure.

Maybe consider a Griffon, they work slower and close. I am older and really like my 1 1/2 yr old.

Remy do you control the coon population or have many in your area?

7 miles, pretty sure these were wild though.

Not proud of this. In 1974 my dad got me out of the barn when I was 12, he said there is a rooster up our lane. So he told me to hop in our white 65 Chevy pickup with 410 volt action. It was still there so I shot it out the window. My dad never hunted but he did get me into hunting. After that I...

I usually check with the Iowa State Ext Office or your local NRCS. They can be helpful sometimes with this.

I did a little research, it states it is possible for an early September hatch in Iowa.

Thank you.

This has to be the shortest tail feathers for a bird in December that I have taken, fully colored though. The bird in the bag had a few light colored spots. I should have took a pic of it. The tail feathers are less than 6 inches. My wife thinks their cute! I wonder when they hatched?

After or during 1st measurable snow can be excellent hunting, this for 5 years ago. About an hour 1/2 with my 2 boys. All points, i was dragging hard by the end.

My son took a buddy out yesterday for a short time. His buddy never hunted pheasant before. They shot together on the trap team. Otis is a18 month old Griffon, he gets to hunt a lot. Otis locked up about 10 minutes into their hunt. Two roosters came up and they both dropped one.

I heard they can be over protective, I had kids at the time so I chose a GWP and Griffon.

Tristar automatics are excellent for the money.

Otis, Griffon 18 months. Ruger is a GWP on right in last pic.
