I love filling these out. If Kim sends me a third one I'm gonna consider us besties and see if I can go on the governor's hunt with her.

A guy on the podcast said a tip for late season, cold weather, and snow conditions. Focus more around beanfields this time of year as it makes for easier scratchin' vs. corn 🌽 or other crops. First time I heard that.

I shot two rounds of trap this morning. A trap field is close by even though I live in suburbia, got "grandfathered in" about 20 years ago. After shooting I rushed off, eager to go fishing. Bird season done and gone, I need a shift of focus to wetting a line and reeling in fish. I caught a few...

They really know how to cook good German food in Montgomery, last year I think the meal was pork loin, and man was it good!😋 I didn't win anything, but they had some good prizes so I'll try again this year. Hope I can make it, if not I attend a banquet at a neighboring county. It's nice to get...

It's been just over a month since I last was lucky enough to walk the prairies, plains, fences, field edges, marshes and food plots behind a good dog looking for a rooster. I know that every season needs to end. The birds need to survive the winter, dogs need rest, and we need to step away back...

I found a spot I've never hunted. Owned by the DNR, but not listed under any "type" wma, ama, park, etc. I even called the DNR land manager a few months back and he was baffled. I never had the guts to try it during season. I took a walk out there today. Not a big spot. Daydreamin' and SNAP! A...

I had to work a late night, then help a buddy with mechanical problems; wrenches turned, bearings cleaned, lubed and fixed, he's all good to go. Now at home sucking down cold suds my mind goes where it always does, thoughts of days afield with dogs chasing birds high and low. Through thinnest...

We hunted the same spots two days in a row. I normally never do that but it was worth it. So Friday we saw all the cows on the back of a hillside out of the wind. We went there the next day and there was a dead one. My buddy is Mr. Johnny on the spot so he jumped the fence to investigate. The...

We were out in South Dakota and hunting a private farm. This is a rare luxury for me. We still needed a few birds to fill out. The old farmer told us of a public spot nearby, where a spring comes out of a hillside. He said, "that's where the birds go everyday to get their drink." On the one hand...

I've read several times now that the flint hills are the largest remaining piece of tall grass prairie left. I'd like to get down to see it someday for that reason alone.

I've noticed over the years, it's never too cold for the goldens I'm lucky enough to follow. It can be 10 degrees out, I find a spring creek flowing and the dog will lay in it to cool off. And once me and the dog fell through the ice in a slough, it was around 30 degrees out. I figured she would...

When hunting at the end of day, should you be out of the field at end of shooting hours, or can you hunt until the closing bell 🔔 and then walk out?

Talked to a buddy tonight on the phone. He was in Morris for new years party. A landowner by happenstance tells him to hunt his farm. He convinces his wife to walk with. She doesn't hunt. After a while they get by a gnarly swamp and she bows out, cuts across the field back to vehicle. Game...

How do they choose the last day is season? It seems like it jumps around every year and I can't figure it out. Seems like it's not on a weekend very often.

No I wasn't in iowa driving down the road with an orange hat on. I went to a spot, parked, and walked in. I got prior permission in writing. A post from back in the day asked about 🔑 keys. GH said he leaves the keys on seat in case someone needs to move his rig. In this case I parked in the...

I was gonna go out by Marshall over the weekend, the pheasant capital of MN. I heard a weird whistle noise under the hood. Went to a buddy to diagnose, the water-pump is on the way out! He said if it lets loose in the boonies you'll be stranded. Then my brother in law says I can borrow his car...

Are you gonna watch the vikings game on Sunday at 3, or will you go pheasant hunting instead?

I jumped on quick while the standing rib roast is resting and waiting for my brother and his family to arrive. There's been a lot of good days to hunt, right now being one of them. But what was the absolute high point of bird numbers? Not for any one state but for the country? I seem to remember...

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...
