    Has anyone hunted this property? Passed it today but was too soaked by this point to make any more stops.

    Property Partners

    I've been considering for some time, buying a hunting property. I won't have the time or the resources to keep it up alone and was wondering if anyone (around 5 others) in the Wisconsin area are interested in partnering on something like this? The long term goal for this group would be to...

    It was the best of times and it was the worst of times.

    Decided to go out today and try a new to me spot. Pull up in parking lot and cover looked amazing. We get ready and let out dogs and before we can get our guns loaded, my GSP goes on point. Bird was ready to get out and flushed before I could get inside of 20 yards from him. I dropped it...

    Deer Ticks

    Has anyone else noticed an unusually high volume of deer ticks this season? It's rare I ever get any deer ticks on my dog but lately we've been flooded with them. After hunting yesterday, I pulled 31 deer ticks off my dog. Just want to see if it's localized or everywhere. If it's localized I...

    Optimistic or Pessimistic?

    So I went to buy shells for the upcoming season. I come home with 3 boxes of lead and 1 box of steel. Man, I either plan on seeing a whole lot of birds or I sure do plan on missing a lot. Maybe I'm hoping I don't have to bum shells at the end of the season, like the last 2 seasons. Either...

    Turkey Scouting

    Wondering if anyone is out there patterning or scouting turkey yet. On one of my places things are looking great. Have the daily pattern dialed in. Hopefully they stay on this routine. I'm doing some scouting on one of my other spots this weekend. It's going to be a long 2 months. I'm...

    Entry Level O/U $600 to 700 or less

    Any recommendations on the guns in the price range? I need to purchase a O/U and want to in the near future pass this gun along to my son. You guys did a great job recommended an awesome gun case and I'm hoping you can do the same with a O/U. I know fit has a lot to do with it, but since I'm...

    AKC Pointing Breed Hunt Tests

    I was looking to get my GSP hunt tested for Junior and Senior titles this upcoming year and am having trouble getting into contact with any clubs that host them. Does anyone have a current contact? I tried the GSP club of WI in Edgerton and haven't heard anything. I also tried a GSP club near...

    Soft Gun Case Recommendations

    Looking for something that will last. My last 2 cases each lasted a year before the zippers busted and/or ripped. They were off the shelf from the box stores. One was a browning and the other was an off brand. Thanks for any help. Hopefully I won't have to keep replacing these damn things.

    Is there anybody out there...

    No, I'm not reciting Pink Floyd lyrics. Wanted to see if we have anyone out there still hunting and see if anyone is having any luck. This December has been mild compared to most years and has provided great hunting weather. The past two afternoons I spent pounding cattails and my legs are...

    Badgers

    So does it make me a "fair weather fan" if I turn off the TV after the 1st qtr? I can't take anymore of watching the butt wooping. Badgers are playing awful.

    2014 Season Gripe

    Well it's 2 weeks in and I must say, I'm not very proud of our fellow Wisconsin pheasant hunters thus far. So far each weekend I've found people out on public land not wearing any blaze orange and hunting pheasant. Today, when I call the guy out on it, he verbally accosts me. I'm not the one...

    Opener

    It's been pretty dead on here, especially with the opener in just a few days. Let's get some chatter going about the upcoming season and waking up the Wisconsin forum. Where's everyone going and are you hunting alone, with friends, family etc.? My pup will be 5months and 10 days old on the...
