Dang Goose your depths of knowledge have me in awe sometimes,but your train of thought always has me in awe. It just messes with my head.

Many years ago I passed through Sidney Nebraska and visited the original Cabellas. This year on purpose I stopped there. 30 years ago I drooled at all the wonderful guns that I couldn’t afford. I did end up buying an aluminum airline gun case for pennys on the dollar because it had a scratch...

Gives me hope(73).

Again why I don’t hunt opening weekend or even the second weekend. Today well into the second month of season(state not mentioned) I hunted several public spots and never saw another hunter.

Gotta agree with you. For the first couple weeks of pheasant season MT should provide valet parking at some of the better spots. There’s still birds but boy are they experienced.

Shed hunting for moose antlers is a big deal. I have a friend who flies out to a winter range area every year. Sometimes she makes several thousand dollars. She doesn’t take her dog which I believe would help a lot.

The ski boat still bothers me. Maybe it is a classic?

Well some of us hunt/camp with our spouse or significant other. They may want a bit better standards. Still can hear geese in my travel trailer.

Talked to a couple with one in the campground, been hunting in 2 states so far and gonna hit a couple more. Love the vehicle, the only downside is that they only room for 2 dogs.

I ran into a traveling nurse with one in AZ last winter. She said it was perfect for her lifestyle. Uses it like an house while working and camps to her next job. Which got me thinking, when I bought my first large boat I was told by my accountant that as long as it had a bathroom I could deduct...

Don’t know. There have been 2 in the campground where I’m at right now. Years ago I debated buying a house and some land. Didn’t. Now I am glad as I move around and hunt different areas in different states. Know some people who did buy and wished they didn’t, think Kansas and areas in other...

My 16 year old golden is totally deaf. I have a sport dog vibrating collar that I have started to work with. Before I nicked her lightly but felt bad. Ran into a couple in the campground with a deaf lab. They affixed an air tag to his collar so they can find him if he gets lost. Oh I have gotten...

I think you are overthinking this.

Okay here are more boots on the ground reports. Drove about 70 miles to another area. Saw one smashed rooster on the road. I have 4 very experienced dogs, 2 are older and get only light duty. Two are in their prime. Put up maybe 15 today, got 3 roosters. Yesterday put up 12 got 3. Day before put...

Okay here is an anecdotal report. Dry conditions, been hot, not as many birds as the last couple years, but still birds. Two out of three today were 2 year olds. More hunters than the last couple years, but than I usually don’t start until November so that is relative. Where I am ,no telling...

My 8 week old was fetching wings from pheasants shot today tonight. They get wings early and 22 poppers soon after. Pidgeons are great wrap them up and we use a studded harness to train soft mouth. By 4 months dead pidgeons can be used. Make it fun. Gosh we gets new pup every4 to 5 years and I...

Goose should know.

I don’t know about Kansas but I have experienced the opening weekend on several states north of there. That was due to work limitations. Ow mostly retired I can go whenever and would rather have a voluntary root canal than hunting the opening weekend. Yes there are more stupid birds, I believe...

Mine’s in standing heat right now. She’s working fine, shot an easy limit over her yesterday. My 2 intact males not so great, need to get them away from her and then they will hunt,not their best but okay. I hunted her last year with a friends spayed bitch. They ignored each other and hunted...

You’re getting different weather reports than me.
