    Pheasant Mount Came Out Pretty Good!

    I got my WI rooster from December 2022 back this week. Turned out pretty well I think, what do guys think? I’ve shot 200 pheasants over my golden, but this one crossed all the boxes for the most part of what I wanted (plan to get one over each dog mounted). Color was ok, shot around home on a...

    Brag Post

    My little field golden flushed and retrieved his 200th career pheasant this weekend. 108 of those in the not so great pheasant state of WI and 92 in SD. I always told my wife it’d be neat to get to 250 over him; and as long as he stays healthy into the tail end of his career I don’t see any...

Not sure the exact length of the tail but I have a 23.5”...

    I've been shooting an old 870 express for the last 20 years, and the time has come for me to upgrade. Over the last couple years I've had more instances than I'd like of me short-shucking a shell and I watch as the rooster flies away unscathed when I could've had another shot at 30 yards; or...

    Favorite pant or chaps to hunt cattails in the snow?

    I spend a lot of time chasing pheasants in the snow which means I beat the shit out of the cattails with my golden. Anyone have any recommendations for a high quality waterproof chap or upland pant? I have a pair of browning and Carharts that I like and wear every time out, but I do get wet...
