    Late Season Woes

    Got out yesterday for a quick weekend hunt. Started south of Osborne about 1:30 and ended the day with only one rooster, and one jumbo covey of quail seen. Hunted around Hill City today until about 2:30 when there were 30 mph winds and it was 56 degrees. Four hens seen all day... never even...

    Weekend Rain

    Hello Iowans, Was thinking about heading up that way tomorrow for a few days. The NWS is calling for quite a bit of rain. What are the area forecasts saying? Is it supposed to dump all at once, or rain all day? Probably be poking around Spencer maybe, haven't really made up my mind yet.

    Road Rash on the Browning

    My Citori had a little run in with the gravel. It's newer, with a high gloss finish. Any suggestions on repairing at least most of the scratches? Some character is okay.

    Keeping Chukar Alive

    'Evening folks. I usually buy birds the day I plan to train, but tonight I went and picked some up from my guy so as not to have to take the trip in the morning. They are in a small pen, which really probably isn't as tall as the birds when they're standing straight up. I know I obviously...

    New to SD

    Hey all, New to reading the SD atlas, and was wondering why there seems to be far less tracts in the SE quadrant of the state? I know in Kansas the eastern third of the state is out of the primary pheasant range, so there are fewer walk in tracts available. Any specific reason (reservations...

    Hunt Suggestions for a NR

    Hey all, Planning my first out of state hunt trip ever. I'm coming up from Kansas to get an early start on the season. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate it. I'm not looking for any specifics, but obviously looking for reasonable access to land, in an area where bird numbers are...

    Help With West/Gibbons Conditioned Retrieve

    So, I've decided to train my pup (now 18 mos.) with the West/Gibbons approach to trained retrieve. How much 'hold' would you normally teach before progressing to taking steps with the dummy? I know teaching to walk with the dummy and voluntarily taking the dummy are the two hardest steps with...

    Tagged Out

    Finally tagged out in bow season for the first time in 4 or 5 years! Been passing up eight pointers every year (some of them really nice). It'd be neat if this was one of the bucks I let go to harvest another year. Just avoid looking at my ugly mug : )

    Puppy Problems

    This new pup is a huge fan of chewing on her tail while in the crate during the day... so much so that I'm not certain it'll really grow back. I put apple bitters on it every day to no avail. I've also been putting some MTG horse conditioner on every other day, but if she keeps chewing it...

    Rivers West 'Pointer' H2P Dog Vest

    Anyone own one? Been looking around for a few weeks trying to find a vest that is tailored more for the body type of a pointer. Short of making one myself (which basically means telling mom what I'm looking for and letting her give it a shot... lol), this is the best thing I could find. Worth...

    License Question

    Howdy, Iowans! I may hunt Iowa this fall... it'll be my first hunting trip out of state. What's the difference between a NR Hunting and a NR Hunting / Habitat? Figured it would be easier to ask here rather than read through the regs. Thanks in advance!

    Need Birds in SE KS

    'Afternoon all. I'm in need of some birds to shoot over the new pup, but am having a hell of a time finding any. Some time ago, one of you nice gentlemen told me about a guy that regularly has birds this way. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance!

    New Pup!

    After a few dismal years of hunting here in KS, and a dog too old to go all day... I thought what better way to get back into the uplands than getting a new pup! Meet Whimsy! She's just over 7 months old. I probably started a little late with her, but she's coming along nicely...

    Anyone tag out yet?

    Didn't get to make it out too many times with the bow this year. Tonight was my last opportunity. I found the big fella with some estrous bleats and some grunting, but he somehow winded me behind some cedars. He gave me three wheezes before trotting off. All I could see was his nice rack...

    Shrooms!

    Should be out in full force this weekend, given the past week's weather. Who's going "hunting"? I most likely am! :cheers:

    Thunder Chicken Time!

    Two and a half weeks out. Next to upland, it's a close second to my favorite hunting past time. There's nothing quite like calling in an old weary Tom, and then blowing his face off! :D I'll be out on the 1st, trying to tag out with the Magnus Broadheads. :cheers: Crappie spawn will hit...
