    Long Distance Traveling for Birds

    I would be more worried about salt holes in the aluminum skin from galvanic action.

    Long Distance Traveling for Birds

    I am not sure how much road salt you will be encountering, but I just replaced the entire steel fame on my fiberglass dog trailer with an aluminum frame. My step kids had A trailer with an aluminum skin on a steel frame for their band equipment. After one winter in Ohio, it looked like it had...

    I would think someone would want to cut the locust just for the firewood or posts.

    Vehicles

    OK, but if u are going to buy a new vehicle, fuel mileage would be one thing I would consider, wouldn't you? I bought new superduty crewcab 4 x4, 8' box Fords every year from 1997 to 2005. The worst bath I took was that I lost about $1200 on one that I put 36000 miles on in 5 months. (About as...

    Your favorite pheasant O/U

    Did you ever end up with an o/u? If not I also vote for the 686 ultralight, if you are going to stick with a 12. I have both the 28” tubed barrels & 24” sk & sk. 5.9 lb with the tubes, but I generally shoot the short ones. If a 20, I would try an skb in 20. I am not sure what the new ones are...

    Snow birds…

    I dont understand why you guys are so down on the geese. I would trade phez meat for goose meat any day. Much more tender & imho, tastier too. Not as dry either

    New to South Dakota

    I used to hunt near Wanblee. Lots & lots of grouse, but u could kill your limit of phez too. I dont know if u can hunt that part of the state anymore without a native american guide & license. A lot closer for you

    Ive got a bunch of lead #2’s….

    Longest wadded up dead phez shot I ever made was with a 20g Active nickel plated 3” 2’s. It was the 3rd shot, but I know the first shot was a clean miss. My buddy that I was hunting with said it was the farthest he ever saw one either. Mod choke. I almost always shoot a 12 now, but if I shoot...

    Snow and pheasants?

    The easiest hunting I ever had was after a 3 day storm near Kaylor sd, wearing snowshoes. We pushed standing corn that was like walking thigh hi stubble. The only problem was that every so often a dog would have to be helped out when it floundered in the snow.

    What is the best pair of boots you ever owned for hunting pheasants?

Like the brownings. No longer made. I cant wear muck types. size 9 shoe,size 8 ankle, size 10 calf. I still would like...
