    Grouse/Chicken and Snakes

    And the golfer in Spearfish a few years ago. The likelihood of running into one seems pretty low unless you are near a p-dog town but if a dog gets a good bite it is probably not going to make it unless you can get anti-venom quickly.

    Grouse/Chicken and Snakes

    My breeder lives near Rapid City and puts on a snake-avoidance clinic every year. I can give you his contact info if you want. However, I am not real worried about my dog attacking a rattler, I'm worried about him accidentally running over one while retrieving a bird or something. I basically...

    I have had very few shotguns I did not have to change to get their POI to match my POA.

    Soybean price helps habitat

    So you think we should ignore the gross trade imbalance, just let it go on? It is unfortunate that the people growing crops and raising livestock were some of the few "manufactures" in this country whose goods foreigners are willing to buy, because the tariff wars have definitely hurt them...

    Wet Crispi Boots

    I eliminated just about all hunting except birds on the prairie on nice, dry days. That helped immensely. ;)

    How many of you let birds go?

    If I recommend hiding over-limit birds under your seat in the future please rest assured it is just my flippant sense of humor at play, and not a serious suggestion for how to break the law. :)

    How many of you let birds go?

    Goose, for once I'm going to try to take your advice. I definitely need better karma. :)

    Small game knives

    No, he threw away the heart and liver, didn't wear nitrile gloves, didn't remove the kidneys and left sharp wingbones sticking out to puncture a baggie and vac-pack bag. Not that I'm picky or anything! ;) But yes, I have no use for a knife to clean birds, except for one little trick. I...

    Wet Crispi Boots

    Yes, wet pants will soak your socks and the water will wick and make the inside of the boots very wet. Also, the wet grass can ride up under even waterproof pants to soak the exposed sock. Most likely your gaiters would have prevented both problems.

    Knee Surgery Question

    I had a bad injury to a knee 3 years ago when I was 73, had to have open surgery to repair everything that was torn. Didn't get a replacement but had to go through the same rehab as the replacement guys. Took months to recover, and it wasn't until 2 years after that I could actually hunt like...

    what areas do you look for on the map when deciding to hunt upland birds

    Absolutely, and keep in mind that just because a state's F&G harvest report maps show an area as being not very productive does not mean there are not a lot of birds there -- it may just mean that not many hunters go there! The first couple of years I spent dozens of hours pouring over harvest...

    Nebraska sharptails.

    They're too fast for me to do much reminding. :) A couple of years ago I got two in one shot, thot I was really something. A half hour later one of them started flapping crazily in my vest. Turned out its only injury was a pellet that had grazed its skull and knocked it out.

    Prairie Grouse

    I understand, thanks for passing it on. My grand-daughter took my shorthair for a hike a few weeks ago and came home with a video of knucklehead circling a prairie rattler in the trail and acting like he was thinking of pouncing on it. Scared the heck out of me!

    Is that quarterly for life, or do you start over every year?
