I boogied down to Faribault to hunt the golden hour. In the back corner of a field I almost pinched one, but he took off running down the hill. Lucky Skye caught the scent and I hustled after her. I took a bomb shot right before he disappeared under the rise and saw him fall. I was nervous on...

It was one you don't get all the time, but a very close rooster at a hard angle(crossing). Both birds were going on the slow side. One bird was on takeoff and as the dog was on my left he crossed right in front of me going right, wings spread one perpendicular with the ground and the other with...

We got stopped at the game warden convention checkpoint. There were a pile of them, probably 20+ officers, feds too(maybe for waterfowl infractions). Everything checked out but one bag of frozen birds, the friendly lady couldn't find a spur on the leg. She offered it back to me and said, "can...

We zipped out Friday morning and started at our traditional spot on the eastern side of east south dakota. Yes that last sentence was on purpose for emphasis. 4 guys we got 7 birds there in just under two hours. I think this spot gets hunted for pheasants about 3 times a year total. The middle...

I bought a dog vest for Skye 5 years ago. She wore it a few weekends but it rubbed raw spots on her armpits, so that was the end of the cabelas cheap-o. Any suggestions for either a vest or skip plate that won't chaff puppy? P.S. not needed for warmth, she never gets cold while upland hunting.

I know this is a pointer thing. Today hunting it was very hard for me to keep track of the golden retriever because the cover is tall, her fur matches a lot of it in color, and it was blowing a gale. I was really thinking a bell could be helpful here.

4 of us are leaving Friday morning for the mount Rushmore state. Look I don't want to Hotspot, but if you've got any honey holes you'll let us on near Pierpont or the shores of Lake Kampeska hook a brother up.

I didn't post this is any state forum, it involves a trio. Iowa, MN, SD. First off I was thinking Iowa. One guy in that forum was incredulous when I asked if I could find a spot at 8. Then I asked if showing up at 6 would get me a place? Another guy said the locals would be hot if I was in the...

I used to live in Omaha for a stint. I always wanted to go bass fishing on carter's lake but didn't have any gear with. I'd like to get down there pheasant hunting. I figure it's better than Kansas and more public opportunity. I haven't been there in 20 years, and seems it's down now from...

Thinking of starting a go fund me for Limitless. The least we could do is scrape up funds to help this doggone huntin' fool out. He zips all 'round the upper Midwest with his dog honey. Sure she loves it so puts up with all the bad shooting and weather extremes, even wears a coat in the winter...

If I go to iowa on the opener in this area do you think I'll be able to find a spot at 8 or should I take a pass?

If it's you and another guy hunting, each with a flushing dog, do you hunt right by each other, or leave some space and hunt "together but seperate?" No right or wrong answer, just curious about the best approach for hunting efficiently. Not asking about groups of hunters with a large pack of...

The weather has been terrible but I went anyway. Took a looong walk to an old honey hole. Roxy is a golden retriever. When they boogie she stands on it and puts them in the air. When the bird freezes, she freezes. I think twice today she locked up on a bird and I didn't shoot because it's been...

Went with a buddy today in MN where the state doesn't release birds. Chumps hunting here aren't guaranteed a limit. Buddy whistles in his dog at end of field, really thick bluestem, and pup has a lively rooster in his chops. I told him that's a cripple from opener. Many hours later back at his...

Went out all weekend. It was group hunting. Four guys and my buddy's kid, +3 dogs Saturday. Hunting was good but still had to work at it. Some places all the crops was up still, others it was gone and tractors already turning ground over as black exposed dirt. The old dog hunted well being...

I heard there's a ton of birds out by Gregory this year. Now I just hope I can get reservations at a hunting lodge.

Thinking of the 2026 Suburban High Country. Should I stick with the 6.2L V8 engine? I want to go this route because it has the 18" screen with built in google, so that I can get all the waypoints downloaded for hunting spots. Plus 5G wi-fi, bluethooth, and sirius XM. And I think it'll have...

I had a long dissertation typed out all about dogs and hunting, then poof, it disappeared. The jist of it was to not be wrapped up in place, breed of dog or ultimate success of your hunt. We're all in this together. Mainly I know the offseason is good for different reasons. That said, regardless...

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.
