I think this is the reason you want to run river and Jonesy against Sage and Nila. Their owner is way more laid back. If you tried to run a dog against Ace then you'd have to deal with his owner. That guy is too high strung;).

Iowa is a good place to hunt. Trying to find a good piece of huntable cover is good advice. The perfect recipe for me is a thick patch of cover that is still manageable. I massive cattail area or giant dense thicket usually have lots of birds in them but may be too big to flush one in view...

Is it Russian olive thickets???

I used to lose more birds. I didn't know my head from a hole in the ground. And of course the dog was learning too. I don't think I've lost one this year. I'm sure there's good odds of it though. There was one my buddy winged on a windy day, we couldn't find him. I always look a long time, and...

This is far SW Minnesota. I could see SD in the distance, about 10 miles behind me.

I agree. Sometimes cattails are the only option though.

I've only tried it once, but the pheasant got away.

There's one IHAP I've tried twice. I never saw a bird. Probably won't hunt that one again. I've got one I really like. It seems like a good program. I talked to the IHAP lady at the dnr. Really friendly. She said they try and help the land stay up to crp requirements so the owner can keep...

If you switch to pay hunting at a lodge or ritzy ranch, they have paths mowed every where. That makes for easier retrieves.

I'm glad Montana and a lot of other states don't require orange. I always wear it pheasant hunting regardless. That said the MN dnr regulation book is longer than Leviticus and just as dense. When I went on my prairie grouse trip I didn't wear any. It helped when this grandpa was creeping by in...

Have you ever hunted cattails in Minnesota or Montana?

MN cattails in general are taller and thicker than SD cattails. Never could figure out why. Humidity and average rainfall might play a part.

I think at this point, just being there with your cousin, makes you guilty by association.

We'd know a lot more if you can ever put your money where your mouth is. You're supposed to put up River and Mr. Jones against Sage, Nila, and Lucas Metcalf.

I wonder if Kristi Noem is gonna tell the SD border patrol to keep an eye out for a known character alias goosemaster, nugent, et al. APB, keep him out of South Dakota. She's trying to keep the farmers' turkeys safe and the barnyards free of mud.

After the ass whippin' is over, sit down and have a man to man with these guys. Try to educate them. And tell them to come out in the summer and you can take them for a ride around the lake in your ski boat.

I don't think I can go this weekend. The older dog needs a rest and the younger one isn't feeling good. Now I'm sad.

Maybe he gave you 6 gooses out of six, that's really good. Or six cans of a 6 pack pbr. That's even better. But if it was six cans from a 12 pack, then you're fair to middlin'.

I'm giving you a 7 score. But I have no idea what this means.
