What about Bob?

You might have already done this. When I shoot an O/U for high volume clays I shoot the lightest load possible. If you can find 1oz. at 1170 or so they shoot so much softer than the standard 1 1/8 1200

I love that story BrownDog, sad but sweet. I hunt a few private spots that are marginal, mostly cattails and low marshy ground that would be okay for hay but not crops. But it's near where my great grandfather and grandfather farmed and lived. There's something special in scratching out a bird...

I don't know where to start. I've been pheasant hunting about 5 years seriously. I didn't grow up hunting, my dad sold all his guns when he went to college. My grandpas both hunted but it was mostly before I was alive. I'm sure they had it great. On my dad's side Grandpa grew up on a farm, they...

I wonder if people have tested stated velocities through a chrono? I've only a few shells left of 12ga. 2 3/4 and haven't seen the hulls split although I got a few squib loads(3), albeit in snowy conditions, I think snow melted and powder got wet. I ordered a case of Kent #4 in 12 and have had...

Wait a minute, let me get my glasses. Is that goose over there or is that a high-brow blue-blood in a Suburban? Technically EELL means Extra Extra Lusso Lusso. Lusso=Luxurious Goose, lets go on a late season hunt together. Bring that late model 'burban with the heated seats and steering wheel...

I was going ice fishing and fell through to my neck. I tipped my toes way down and was standing on a boulder. I dropped the hand auger and my other arm was straight up holding a bucket, vexilar, etc. I tossed that as far as I could onto thicker ice. The rest is a blur. If I stepped off the...

So my buddy is older than me, maybe 57-59? His old lab passed over the summer of cancer. He met a guy who raises and trains duck hunting dogs down south. This guy had a started 2 year old lab and my buddy bought him. It's turned out great for dog and owner so I'm really happy about that. Kylo...

I'm hoping I can get all the Christmas stuff done and sneak out this weekend. Time for my infamous "private land" in MN. Most of it is marginal, but hunting beats wrapping presents!

When I saw the hen hit the line in iowa, if I would have found the bird I woulda called the warden and asked direction. In MN the wardens numbers are not public, they just have a 1 800 office number that is never picked up, voicemail only. I do have the wardens cell number in an area I commonly...

A short one with my buddy's lab. He bought a started dog in Florida, so this was his first season hunting roosters. I believe my buddy shot 31 roosters over him this year in MN.

I think this is the closest I've come to a Kansas bird. I've deduced that he probably migrated up from Wichita when the wheat stubble went bad and wanted to get some of that delicious Iowa corn. I realize biologists have mentioned a pheasant has a small home range and doesn't migrate. That said...

I don't think that's enough blue to qualify. Probably a 2nd cousin twice removed.

Yeah, this one was a result of a culvert coming under the road. It might be a field tile culvert not sure. I was out 150 ft. from the gravel road culvert. I got lucky, my one foot went straight through and somehow the other didn't. All I remember is keeping my muzzle pointing safe, rolling away...

Once in Iowa hunting around Swea City (funny name) a smart one flushed just out of range. He wasn't jet black, but he was the darkest looking wild pheasant I've ever seen. Really neat colors, wish he would've waited another 30 seconds to flush. 4 years ago in Leola, my buddies both shot at a...

My weirdest feeling was the time I stepped on ice in the cattails and my boot went through and there was no bottom:oops:.

I just canceled my trip to Kansas. I already struggle to hit a lazy wild rooster in the upper Midwest, no way I could hit a blue back with the speeds they attain.

One thing I know, for some reason there's always a lot of holes around fences and field edges.

I know if I lived in South Carolina I'd be out on santee Cooper in the spring.

It's gonna blow all the quail in Yankton across Lewis and Clark back to the 🌽 husker state.
