I was north of Lincoln. I have hunted for 30+ years and have never seen a snare. People don't trap like they used to, so it was a total shock. I will always carry a cable cutter(wire cutters won't work) in my vest. Trust me, it is 100% worth it.

Hi All- First off, my dog got caught in a snare last year, so I am making it a point every year to tell hunters to get a CABLE cutters, or at least know how to get a dog out of a snare. He lived, but It was awful, you don't want to go through it. Not much action on the board, but here's a...

One more thing. If this happens, get the snare off the post or tree or whatever it is anchored to as quickly as you can. Usually has a clip on the end to attach it to something. Then the snare won't tighten anymore. This is all hindsight reliving this terrible event over and over in my...

Private land. Nebraska. I've hunted this place enough, and I noticed a "game trail" heading through brush to a creek. But it was bigger and more defined than I remembered in the past, and it caught my attention. Just then, the dog ran by me and hit the snare. I was fortunate to be right...

Hey All- My dog got caught in a snare last weekend! I've hunted hundreds of times and never even seen one. I got him out, and he's fine, but it was harrowing and terrible. I got lucky. PLEASE watch some videos on the different types of snares and how to get a dog out. Alaska Fish and Game...

They had lots of rain in the Sandhills this year, and I felt it. Never seen the cacti, sand burrs and sunflowers that thick, and I've been at this for 37 years. Really tough walking, and cover so thick the grouse aren't going to be in a lot of it. They don't hunker down like pheasants. I...

Lefty76- Best thing about those pics is your son being in them. I never fully appreciated what getting youth out hunting can do until the pandemic hit, when kids were stuck at home and spending most of the day on their devices. That will rot your mind. I fretted over what my son would do all...

Will you get me lined up to hunt with your farming and ranching friends who have birds all over their places? Yeah, didn't think so. What's the point? To tell all of us hapless schlubs actually hunting in Nebraska that you know where birds are and we don't? And all of that from 1000 miles...

Don't need to say where you were, or any specifics if you don't want to, just looking for some general stats to see how people did. I'll start. Lots of corn in, but there was so much dew and it was so wet, I think that held the birds at least from running into the corn. With it this mild and...

I found out a few weeks ago that my setter has mild hip dysplasia. Total shock and a total bummer. I have her on some adequan, hope it helps. She is 7 1/2 and just an all around fantastic dog, especially on quail. Looking for any advice from people who have experienced this before.

Here we are. Even with no birds and less habitat, you still have to get excited about opening day! My 12 year old son passed his Hunter safety, got a couple places to walk, the wife wants to go, a beautiful day forecasted! Wow, what more can you ask for. All I can do is a quick hunt since I...

Sorry to ask, but there is no "ultimate prairie chicken forum". Anyone hunted the Sandhills yet? Reports? I am thinking the pops. will be up with all the rain.

pretty quiet on here lately, not a good sign for hunting success I imagine. my pre-season optimism has slowly degraded to apathy as the season has progressed, but things may be looking up a bit as this snow is finally melting some. not even worth going out lately in the Southeast, as all the...

i'll admit this has been a challenging year. lost 3+ weeks to dog injury, multiple staples after 2 different hunts, so I have not been out as much, but when I have been out I have not seen the pheasants. i hunt in southeast ne, but might make a few trips west. have been able to scratch out a...

Hi all- How did everyone do last season? Must say it was a huge disappointment in E. Nebraska. In November I saw the most birds I have ever seen, shaping up to be an incredible year, then in early DEC. those snows started and it turned to you know what. Did fairly well though, even for only...

Hi gents- i live in Lincoln. would love to hear how people did bird hunting this year in our great state. 3 days left in the season, get out there and whack 'em. I'll start. saw more quail then I have seen in years, although I shoot more trees than quail. remember we had a pretty tough...
