    Uninsulated Boots??

    This past season I broke down and bought the West River boot by Crispi and man...I tell you what. That boot is amazing! Super comfortable, dry, waterproof. Almost no break in and no blisters.

    New addition to the pack

    Added a new element to the pack today. I've primarily run pointing labs... got this guy from Elwoldt's locked on kennels in Iowa. 8 weeks old today and is adjusting nicely! Meet River. Excited to get to work.

    After season shell blowout

    www.rogerssportinggoods.com They've got some killer deals right now and offer free shipping. 30-45% off on lots of the popular rounds. Saved me $200 bucks on a flat of the Winchester Super Pheasants with the diamond shot. Prairie Storm is heavily discounted too, and in all sizes (which is...

    How many shells?

    I run a huntredi vest with their shell "rail". It holds 12. I'll load the gun which holds 3 and go with a full "rail" and have yet to run out on a field. I'll reload the rail as needed during the day.

    Which Benelli Ultralight?

    24" UL here and I love it. I've never shot a gun so well and it is an absolute joy to carry in the field.

    Upland strap vest you can load birds in

    My hunt redi is super comfortable and I can reach the pouch but it is a PIA. I find myself having to lay a gun down and really reaching to make it happen with the first bird.

    Diamond Plated Dog box

    Sorry GSP - I PM'd kick em up on the box also. If it doesn't fit you're needs maybe it will fit mine. I've been looking also.

    Warm Up

    After an abnormally warm fall into early January, two weeks of snow and cold I'd say is not just OK but pretty damn good as far as winter is concerned. A nice slow melt should help with the drought deficit, too. Hopefully we can have an average spring/summer rain to avoid the cutting. Pending...

    End of season reflections…

    Glad you had a good season! This was by far the best season I have personally ever had. The birds were plentiful, the cover was not mowed, and the dogs really came into their own this year at almost 3 years old. It was a fun thing to watch as the season progressed for us. The rooster/hen ratio...

    Honest question!!!!

    It is in the works for Iowa to follow the same license structure as South Dakota...as an Iowa NR, I hope not. I live just across the river in Omaha, NE and my in-laws farm a bunch in Iowa. I realize I am very fortunate to have access to the ground that I do, and I hope it continues. We've bagged...

    Browning Gold Fusion vs Benelli UL

    This is my 2nd season carrying my Ultra Light and it is a joy to carry. As BB has already pointed out, it is absolutely the most deadly gun I have ever carried. It just points and shoots so nice. I doubt I will ever carry anything else...with the exception of my SxS 16 for occasional hunts.

    Dog’s first bird!

    If it wasn't for the dogs I wouldn't be hunting. Congrats on your first bird together! I have a 14 year old chocolate who cannot hunt anymore and a 2 year old coming into his own. Fun stuff to be apart of for sure. I get FAR much more enjoyment of seeing the "dog smile" on my pups face than I do...

    First South Dakota trip was a blast

    They've got it all. Sure, pheasants are king...but the prairie birds and their fishing are what set them apart IMO. So much versatility up there. Pick your poison and you can swing it if you're willing to put in the work. The vast communities are awesome, too. Literally live and die by...

    First South Dakota trip was a blast

    South Dakota is truly a sportsman's paradise. I'm only 36...but someday sooner rather than later I will own property up there. Love that state.
