    Uninsulated Boots??

    I'm going to bite the bullet on some schnees I've seen them 50% off; I'm done buying irish setters or danners, they last a couple of years then they lose the waterproof. I've only heard great things about schnees, kenetreks, and crispis, I just hope they last more than a few years as far as...

    Save the legs!

    Just wanted to throw a PSA out there about your pheasant legs, there is quality meat there. I've learned to only use legs that have not been shot up or busted up, as the bone fragments can be tricky to find after they cook. Lately, I've been throwing them all in a crockpot with a stock to...

    Truck caps

    for sure, I've had a truck that did not do this and it was a PITA to reach anything, might as well just have a Tahoe or Suburban at that point

    Gear Recommendations - Mid-December First Timer

    This; my danners are not waterproof anymore but switching socks out is all I do throughout the day. I plan on upgrading to some non-insulated Schnees after this season neoprene vest seem to cause more issues than worthwhile, chaffing being the biggest issue around the armpits

    no birds for me for 2 weeks; all deer, pumped to get in the northwoods. I have hunted pheasants 2nd weekend in the past before we started to stay at deer camp for the 2nd weekend and I did not see anyone out.

    Private land?

    some tips I picked up on knocking on doors, show up in 1 vehicle, send only 1 guy to the door, if the landowner wants to know who is hunting, by all means introduce your friends after, and if you get permission, be sure you get clear info on where you can hunt on the property. I've burned myself...

    Pointing concerns

    Thanks guys, that’s encouraging to hear. Mutthunt - too be honest, the NAVDHA NA training put a bad taste in my mouth, I wasn’t impressed. I learned training with chukars is a bad idea for a young pup when they only fly 40-50 yards- caused a chasing issue for a bit- fixed with some additional...

    Pointing concerns

    HI guys, I have a 3 year old Pudelpointer, first versatile dog I've owned. I was very impressed with her first 2 years hunting pheasants and how she would hold her point naturally. I was involved with NAVDHA the first year so we worked on various drills, the 2nd year she was just natural to it...

    Favorite steel

    when i use my pump, i usually used Federal Speed Shok or Xperts Kind of off topic, but has anyone else noticed some 3" shells are indeed 3 1/8", such as Remington Hypersonic, I believe Kents are similar. Only noticed this when my gun would jam on those shells, then we lined them up next to...

    Crock pot

    Pheasant breast and legs with chicken or pheasant stock to cover, 8 hours low, shred the breast and legs and use in soups, chili, BBQ sammies, and or buffalo pheasant dip. It just take a couple of minutes to pull the tendons out of the legs, alot of good meat there
