    New Wingworks XL vest

    Well... season is just around the corner! I purchased this from a guy that ordered it and also never used it this year. He said it had 2 long pockets and large game bag... whatever that means! Haha... I knew I wanted a WW vest so I bought it but it's a little bigger than I hoped for me (and I...

    Wtb Benelli Cordoba (possibly Supersport)

    Looking to try one of these if anyone has one to unload... I'd buy outright or have an Ethos I could possibly consider trading. Thanks ;)

    Clearing trees & enrolling in crp pros/cons?

    Hey guys... I'm curious about a few things that maybe some of you might be able to help with?? Our family may be purchasing a piece of land. It's decent quality ground with about 5-6 acres in timber in the center. The trees are simply a mix of whatever has grown there over the years. There are...

    Garmin Alpha 2 dog :)

    ***SOLD** (everything is gone now... thanks!) I picked up another Alpha this week with some rewards points... sooo.... that means I'm selling the one I bought new a couple seasons ago. Needless to say, I love these things. I can email pics or I'll update here later. I'll probably list on Ebay...

    A little update ytd... (little pic heavy)

    ...a few pics from this season. Hope everyone is doing well, getting their miles in and staying safe. :) The bird numbers seem to be somewhere in the neighborhood of last year (certainly not up). Some of my better hunting areas seem to be down a tad but on the bright side I've seen a bird or...

    Racoons everywhere! :/ Check your regs and get your fur license??

    Boy... there's just a flat out an unreal number of coon around Iowa these days. I'm assuming the rest of the states are seeing big numbers as well. I can't imagine that coon don't have a decent impact on the spring hatch (along with the growing number of possum & skunk)?? Anyway, I've been in...

    Iowa: Wtb 20 or 28 gauge auto (or o/u) & Benelli 12ga

    Looking to pick something up for my daughter for next season in 20ga (or possibly 28ga). I'm leaning towards a M2 or Affinity at this point but thought I'd post here to see if anyone has something they're looking to unload. Need something in that 22"-26" length tops. May be ok with a compact...

    Final days... a few pics & videos

    Final days... We added a pup to our household last spring and finally got our 7 year old GSP in the field where she should be much more. She's likely hunted more this year than her first 7 years combined. I took them out on Wed for what was probably our last hunt of the season. Early in the...

    Injured reserve... few videos

    Our 7 yr old pooch, Mia, is out of commission for a while after tangling with a fence last week. She thought she was ready to go as I strapped on my boots this morning but was left behind (as much as I hated closing the door on her as we left). Hopefully she'll be ready to go again in a week or...

    Few short videos...

    Newbie to the video camera (GoPro) thing... Posted in our state forum last week... thought I'd post a few over here as well. ;) Both pooches are in their "1st year" and we're having fun. Our 7 year old (all liver in video) hadn't been out more than a dozen times in her life and now that I'm back...

    Another good day for a walk... first day out with a Gopro... had a little fun. :)

    Picked up a Gopro... none of these gadgets are probably worth the cash but I decided to blow a few bucks and get one anyway. VERY easy to use and I honestly had to check several times to be sure it was still mounted since it's so lite. A week ago we had a really tough all day hunt (though we...

    GoPro recommendations & accessories???

    I read through the old posts. What are the must haves you'd recommend when I buy one of these? Planning on a Silver unless convinced otherwise... Here's all I have at this point... no doubt, I'm sure I'm missing some things? This is a case where I'd rather buy a little extra than wish I has...

    Perfect day for a walk... Thanksgiving wishes :)

    Gorgeous day for a walk today after the nasty weekend storm. It didn't take long before the jacket came off... much nicer than I thought it would be today. Great conditions to run our rats (as my wife calls them). 9 month old... I think she was telling me to get on with it... let's go, no time...

    GSP #2 coming shortly... puppy pics ;)

    My daughter and I made a drive to see a litter of pups last week that we'll be getting a pup from shortly. We already have a nearly 7 year old GSP and I had swore we'd never have two pooches again after putting two down on the same day about 7 years ago... but here we go again! My wife is not...

    Box or NO box? Recommend a 2 dog box/crate

    My previous dog loved her box... kept a box in the house and one stayed in my SUV during hunting season. My 6 yr old GSP is to good for hers (ha), thanks to my wife, but doesn't hate it either. I have another GSP coming and I'm thinking about getting a 2 door box for the back of my SUV (Toyota...

    Acres Remain for Landowners Wanting to Improve Pheasant Habitat

    Just ran across this link for land owners... I personally don't know anything about the program but thought someone here could be interested. http://www.iowadnr.gov/insidednr/socialmediapressroom/newsreleases/vw/1/itemid/2431
