    Bumping birds at dusk?

    I recently accepted a day shift position that will have me hunting a lot more in the afternoons. Up until this point, 90% of my hunting has been done in the morning. In Iowa we have to stop hunting at 4:30. In Nebraska I can legally hunt until sunset. I'm curious as to how you "golden hour"...

    Happy Father's day!

    I hope all of you dad's out there had as great a day as I did. It started with a heartfelt call from my Daughter (technically she's my step-daughter, but she's my girl). I smoked four racks of ribs, some sausage, and a pile of beans, which we took to my parents house. Berkley got to come along...

    Loose action on an O/U.

    I inherited an older 12 gauge O/U that has some issues. The main issue is a loose action. At first, I thought the stock was loose. I had the gun at the club the other day, and put a box of shells through it. One of the shells failed to fire. I noticed the primer was slightly dented, but did not...

    Shotkam's on sale.

    Not sure if anyone is interested or not, but Shotkam's are currently $100 off. I see they also have a trade-in program. I really enjoy mine.

    Has anyone burned cattails?

    The neighbors prescribed burn got into our 5 acre cattail patch and got it all. Has anyone ever burned cattails? Just wondering how fast they come back?

    Help with an A-5 serial number.

    I was wondering if we had any Browning A-5 experts on the forum? Today I became the temporary owner of my Grandpa's A-5. At least I think it's an A-5...I am no expert! The serial number is 97916. From what little I could find online, it may have been made in 1927. I'm not sure how accurate the...

    Home invasion!?

    While showering after a successful hunt this morning, I heard ear piercing screams coming from outside the bathroom. I had never heard my wife scream like that before. It scared the hell out of me! I jumped out of the shower, fearing the worst. It turned out that Cash had let himself into the...

    I found this to be a very interesting video. Thought some of you might, too.

    Birds for training?

    I know it may be a little early yet, but does anyone have a lead on where a guy could buy a few gamebirds to train with? I'd prefer chukar, but I'd take just about anything I could get right now. Pigeons would be fine, too. I'm in the Sioux City area, but would be willing to travel.

    Hello from Iowa!

    I stumbled upon this forum a few days ago, and figured I'd better join. I grew up in Northeast Nebraska, and have lived in Northwest Iowa for the last 10 years. I did a lot of bird hunting when I was younger, but gravitated more towards bowhunting as the pheasant populations dipped. Two years...
