    Montefeltro fans

    I have a BUL 12 and 20 and a Monte 12 and 20. I really like carrying the BUL’s, especially the 20 but I shoot the Monte’s better. I have shot 3” from the Monte 12 with a 28” barrel and it’s tolerable when hunting and you only shoot a few times at ducks or geese but a steady diet would be too...

    Sandhills

    It is spotty, some of the areas had good rains early but its been really dry and hot for the last three weeks all across the state. Those areas that had rain early still look okay but the ones that didn't are burned up and they are calling for heat and little rain for the next 10 days.. Where...

    Dog GPS - cheaper alternatives

    As my GSP's only hunt upland (Pheasant, Quail and some Chukar) I've never felt the need for a GPS. They are never out of sight as they work the birds. Can someone explain why a GPS collar is needed? Hope I'm not hijacking this thread. Not criticizing either, just trying to understand. I echo...

    Tough year in Nebraska

    It is super dry in Western Nebraska right now, we need some rain and not just an inch or two. There are red-flag warnings almost everyday. Most of the subsoil moisture was used last year, so crops will suffer if not under irrigation. I’ve seen a few roosters off gravel roads but I still think...

    Hunting in the wind

    Well, if you don’t/won’t hunt in the wind in Nebraska, you don’t get to hunt much! To me, 25 mph isn’t bad at all. I hunted one weekend last fall with 40 mph +. That was tough, especially when the birds got up in the wind, you better have a good lead. Where I hunt it’s pretty flat but there...

    Federal, CCI, Speer and Remington Ammunition

    The last I checked, the money in my account in my bank was mine to use as I see fit. If I want to buy a 1000 rounds of 9mm, 40 S&W or 45 ACP that is my business and prerogative. The same if I want to buy 10,000 rounds of each, it is really no one’s business what I spend my money on. If I...

    What's in your vest?

    I started with a SPOT but felt they were unreliable, that’s why I went with Garmin. It uses the GEOS and communicates with the NRCC. We use the NRCC with our USAR team so I’m pretty comfortable with them and their reliability. As for Garmin making a profit, every company has to make money to...

    What's in your vest?

    The Garmin InReach is a personal locator beacon that uses the Iridium satellite network. I can trigger a 🆘 or send preset text message for free or regular text message with it for a small fee. One of my preset messages says “I’m alright, just checking in” and shows her a map and provides a...

    What's in your vest?

    I started carrying the PLB after I stepped in a badger hole up to my knee when I was a couple miles from my truck with no cellphone service. I wasn’t hurt bad, but I could have been. I had a dog caught in a snare once and I had nothing with me to cut the cable. Fortunately it was around her...

    How do things look after the 12/23 Midwest snow blow?

    Where I am in Western Nebraska, the wheat stubble fields are full so no cover there and a lot of the CRP pivot corners are full.

    My Pet Peeve During Yesterday's Hunt...

    Two weeks ago I was hunting a mile long section of CRP by myself with my dogs. I was about 50 yards off the road and about 1/2 mile through the field when a group of for guys drove by me and jumped out to hunt the rest of the field in front of me. I know they saw me because the driver waved...

    Tough year in Nebraska

    I hunt mostly in the western portion of the state and have really struggled this year. Early on, I imposed a one rooster per day limit on myself, which, with days like this is not hard to do. I saw three roosters today after hunting multiple patches and walking over 7 miles. My GSP’s logged...

    15 Minutes...

    A few years ago I had six dogs to hunt. I used to split them up and hunt three at a time, two pointers and a flusher in each group. A couple of times I had to make the decision not to shoot the third rooster so I could hunt the other three so they would get a chance to hunt. Not so much the last...

    Garmin Astro 320 and DC 50 collar for sale

    I have a brand new Astro 320 and a very slightly used DC50 collar for sale. I ran the collar twice and switched to a T5 Mini. The 320 handheld has never been used, it still has the plastic on the screen. I bought it so I would have a spare and never needed it. It comes with the hard case, all...
