    Game Preserve Hunt

    Love to hear a story like yours. No one is ever gonna say preserve birds are the same as wild but they sure as hell beat no birds!! I’ve quail hunted in Georgia with the dog set up you describe. I’ve not seen it in the wild per se but sure there are some that do. Hope you get back out again...

    Corn progress in SD

    Got a pic this morning of heavy frost so for anything not turning yet it will here soon. Talked to a farmer 2 days ago. 3-4 more days of beans and then will roll in to corn he figured. Agree that the next 2 weeks will see more corn shelled across a larger swath of the state. Can’t wait to get there.

    Sportdog vs garmin

    Never used Sport Dog but have been very happy with my Garmin Pro 550. Run flushers so the GPS is mostly just ncase somehow we get separated and needed to locate them. Adds a lot of peace of mind.

    New NW Iowa Pheasant Hunter

    Welcome to the site. Great to see a younger new hunter wanting to learn about something we all love. Take these guys up on any offer you can make work to help speed up the learning curve. Keep us posted on how it goes. I remember my first bird shot behind beagles while rabbit hunting.

    RX Shooting glasses?

    Lots of good shooting glasses out there and can spend a ton Of money. I went with X Sight a few years ago and for the cost I am happy. The RX can be switched to various colors. I find on sunny days the brown works well. All other days yellow works fine. Don’t recommend the purple. Tried them and...

    Harvest already starting

    We chopped silage this past week but a neighbor is combining corn. He plants short date corn early so he can say he was first to harvest every year. The rest of the are is 7-10 days from beans being ready and 3 weeks or so from corn. This is in Ohio.

    SD Crop Report?

    Here is this weeks report. Talking to some of my farmer contacts they think the crop in their area is 2-3 weeks behind normal but that can change obviously. Also should be noted 77% f the corn crop is rated good or excellent as of 8-4. My guys expect with some heat here in August they may have...
