Today I shot a pheasant on the family farm that is part white and I'm going to have it mounted. It is a beautiful bird. I probably will not see another one line it in my lifetime. I shot a black one a couple weeks ago:eek: What is going on with these birds? Anyways I was wonder what is a...

I have hunted the Aberdeen area for the last couple years in mid December. We always see lots of birds but they can be spooky and flush far away (but that's late season hunting right). Aberdeen is almost the lowest in numbers of birds in the report.:eek: I was wondering if there is another...

Just a FYI. I just ordered some ammo from Cabelas and its 10% off now with free shipping.:cheers:

Like the title says, how do you freeze your pheasants? I normally put them in ziplock freezer bags but I think sometimes they get freezer burn. This year for deer I bought butcher paper from Cabelas with wax coating on one side. Would I be better off to wrap it in freezer paper once or...

I recently bought a 20gauge o\u and was reading the manual, it said I should use snap caps to relieve the pressure of the springs. Does anyone have a recommendation of snap caps that you use?

I couldn't work today so a buddy and I went on a short hunt. We got to the field about 2:30 pm, there were no cars that we could see so we headed East. About 100 yards into the field Gunner locks up on point and my buddy went in for the bird. He got about 5 yards away and the bird flushed...

Last year I stayer at the ramada inn. I just googled it and see it closed. :eek: I really liked the outside access from my room and the hotel. Does anyone have any recommendations on a hotel to stay at that allows dogs and maybe has a restaurant/bar?:confused:

I am looking for some UPLAND hunting pants. I hunt pheasants mainly in Iowa and hopefully a couple times in South Dakota each year. I have a three pairs of Scheels pants but last year the crotch riped on one pair I don't mind spending money on a quality pair (don't want chaps). What do you...

I did a search first and didn't find muchon here. I was wondering if you use a dog box for hunting how much room does your dog need? Do they need to be able to stand up? I have a 50-60lb GSP and I use a plastic kennel with a insulated mud river cover right now. It works really well but...

Today I went to a game farm to work my dog. I shot a couple birds off his points and he found them. One bird I shot and he couldn't find. I'm curious because we have all had it happen to us. If you shoot a bird when hunting (wild birds) and can't find it right away how long do you look for it...

I am pretty excited for opening day this year, Its going to be a great one! I have not been out any due to my work schedule but need to get my dog out. Are you seeing many pheasants?

Does anyone use the Filson mesh game bag? I just ordered one and was wondering how they are, I have there tin cloth hunting cap and like it very much.I was looking for something lighter for hunting in warmer weather.:thumbsup:

Does anyone know if there are any designated dog training areas near Des Moines or the winterset area that I can use during nesting season? Where does one find out about these areas?

I got to my hotel last night and settled in for the night. The drive was nice on the way up here, 50 degrees and then reaching 34 degrees. When we woke up (me and the dog) it was about 25 degrees, 1/4" of ice covering the truck & parking lot and winds around 25-35mph. I let the dog run in a...

I am thinking about driving to South Dakota with my dog for our first ever trip on Sunday (14th) or Monday (15th). Did deer season end on December 7th or is it still going? I want to hunt around the Aberdeen area. It sounds like the weather is going to be cooler next week so that will...

Is anyone going hunting this coming week? The weather is supposed to get into the 50s by the end of he week and maybe stay warm the following week. I hope to hunt sometime in the middle of the week in northern iowa.

Has anyone on here ordered this book? I saw a full page ad in the fall 2014 pheasant forever magazine for this book but when you go to the website and try to click on the tab it doesn't work. It blows my mind someone would take out a full page ad and then have the tab to purchase it on the...

I have been looking at this over/under in a 20 gauge for a couple years now, I doubt I will buy it this year though. I was wondering if any of you have one. I like the look and feel of them better than other over/unders but I am wondering if anyone can tell me more about them, the good, bad...

When I was in high school I worked at a local meat locker that made turkey jerky. Does anyone make pheasant jerky? If you do, what recipe do you use? It sounds delicious but I'm just not sure how to make it!
