I wear some sort of Sitka pants that offer a little stretch along with varying long johns depending on cold/windy it is. Then I throw on a pair of the Orvis toughshell chaps and couldn't be happier. I also have a pair of the Filson double tin hunting bibs and Orvis toughshell upland pants but...

I tried running a bell last year but gave in and picked up a Garmin 200i bundle and paired it with my Fenix watch to give me the ability to simply look at my wrist and see where the dog is. I hunt over a yellow lab and it seems overkill as he hunts close, but the peace of mind, especially...

I've been wearing UA cold gear that's probably old enough to vote but decided to bite the bullet on some Smartwool base layers. The old cold gear stuff is great for those sub 20 degree days but with wearing a vest it was insanely hot in anything above 25-30 degrees after some walking on a sunny...

Lol. Very true. I prefer 2 3/4 since the 3s are overkill but it's slim pickings out there.

Just a heads up - Scheels in Eden Prairie has Prairie Storm on the shelves right now. 12 gauge, 3 inch and 6,5, and 4 shot. Get 'em before they're gone!

How easy is the 200i to use as far as correction settings go? I've been using Dogtra stuff for close to 20 years but don't really want to try the Pathfinder system they offer as it's a little convoluted and am used to dial on the Dogtra unit. My lab hunts close but there are times it would be...

Thanks for the suggestion. It's a lot like fishing and life in general - get used to the spots and your own comfort level and it's hard to give entirely new spots a try. Much appreciated!

I generally hunt SW Scott County, LeSueur County, McLeod, Sibley and Renville Counties. With the dog finally progressing as he has, will also make it a point to get out farther west on the weekends. During the weekdays I generally head out towards the WMAs in Belle Plaine and LeSueur since...

Howdy! I'm just a fairly avid pheasant hunter from the SW burbs of the Twin Cities and am glad I found this board. I hunt behind a 4 year old lab I picked up as a rescue a few years back and didn't know exactly how it'd pan out. Thankfully he caught on pretty quickly and after seeing him...

Thanks for posting this! I try my best to slow down and pay attention to the dog but sometimes the anticipation gets me and I walk faster than I need to. This is a great reminder.

I have one and really only wear it when temps are at or below freezing. I tried wearing it with the ear flaps tucked up on a brisk 36ish degree morning and it was almost too hot. When the ear flaps are down I don't have a problem with the wool being overly itchy/scratchy, but it's something I...
