Reading your report was what motivated me to write mine so thank you! Sounds like you had a great trip also.

Good question. The license non Residents can buy for pheasants is two 5 days periods or 10 days of hunting. There is no limit on the number of times you can buy that in a year. So we used both 5 day periods from the first purchase and one of the 5 day periods from the second purchase and have...

East of the river and north of the interstate. I would call it north central part of the state.

Great question. It was blowing over 20 MPH. The two on the right were the last two to finish our limit and had been killed with in 30 minutes of the picture so couldn’t get them posed quite like I wanted. The other 4 were purposely set in the bed of the truck with the tails up against the front...

I think it’s too easy to paint with a wide brush here and flatly say a 28 shouldn’t be used and will lead to more winged or wounded birds. If you are going to use 3/4 oz loads with open chokes then I agree, likely to lead to lost birds. After hunting 10 days this year with my 28 gauge I have a...

Help me understand how 1 oz of lead shot traveling 1200 FPS travels farther from a 20 gauge barrel versus 1 oz of lead shot traveling 1220 FPS from a 28 gauge barrel?

Venison sticks, oranges and apples for snacks. Typically a sandwich for lunch. Dinners are steaks, pork, nachos, fish, pizza, elk. Lots of options.

Been debating writing this up but I enjoy reading others so here is a rambling recap. Left here October 31 and started hunting the afternoon of the 1st. Hunted 13 straight days. Drove a total of 4050 miles round trip. At arrival lots of corn still standing. At departure lots of corn still...

Your Orvis vest should be covered under warranty. I took my 8-10 year old vest in this summer as it was falling apart and they gave me a gift card for full retail price since they didn’t have a replacement in stock. Went with the new pro model and after 13 days in SD with it I am happy with it.

Never been a BPS or model 12 guy but think the 37 may be the best pump gun of all time. I know to many that is blasphemy but I really think that. I have a 12 gauge that my step dad hunted hard with for 30 years before giving it to me and I did my best to wear it out but never could. I am in the...

I love coffee. First thing I do every day to start my day. On my second cup ight now as a matter of fact. I am proud to say I have never bought one at Starbucks or any other trendy, expensive place. I am a tight ass and refuse to pay those prices. Make my own or gas station 99 cents and that...

I don’t doubt if I had to go locally and find 28 gauge shells to hunt with $20 would be hard to find. I am pretty sure I have not paid more than $16 delivered to the house buying in cases. All summer I kept waiting for the usual good sales. I never saw them. Then about 4-5 weeks ago it seemed...

As BB mentioned I used 28 gauge a bunch on my most recent trip. Shot 7/8 and 15/16 oz #6’s in bottom barrel with a Mod choke and 1 oz of #5 in top barrel choked IM. Couldn’t be happier with the results. What I saw was either hard stone cold kills or clean misses. I would say if you are hitting...

Seeing the family struggles play out in real time to a degree on a farm we hunt. Three brothers all farmed together after coming back from serving their country. Amassed a large land base and did well for themselves. Each had multiple kids. The last of the three brothers passed this summer. One...

I will give experience from two different areas of the country. Here in north central Ohio where I live it has been running 15 to 17k depending on exact location, if it has been tiled and who was at the sale. The most recent private sale I know of was for 500 plus acres and was 20k an acre...

Failed to mention what guns I’ve been shooting. Three days with Rizzini 16 with 1 1/18 oz of number 6 in IC bottom and 1 1/8 oz of number 5 in a modified choke on top. The other 10 with beretta 28 gauge choked modified with 7/8 or 15/16 oz number 6 and top barrel choked IM with 1 oz of nunber...

Just got done with 13 days of hunting. Had one really bad day of shooting on day 10 but other than that it’s been pretty good as far as shooting. Lots more steps for us per day this year but as the corn has finally really started to come out that has been decreasing. Great trip. Head for home...

Went to pull down a section line this morning and was greeted with this. 😳😳
