    2024 Spring Turkey Hunt

    I set mine up a day or two in advance. And stake it down so it doesn't blow away in the wind like a giant sail.

    2024 Spring Turkey Hunt

    Based on this I am assuming you don't use a blind. You just sit on the ground in a full camo outfit, like a ghillie suit. I am a blind guy. I like how it allows me the freedom of some movement like drinking coffee or looking through binoculars. Plus if it rains, I stay dry. And I can sit in...

    Many of us are pigs.

    I don't waterfowl hunt anymore now but I'm sure I missed some of my ejected casings when I did. Most of them floated so I just picked them up. If you think hunters are slobs, go check out a lake in the winter time here that's full of ice fishermen. 10 times worse.

    SD Public Pheasant Hunting Trip

    That's what I'd do too. Divide and conquer.

    Feeding Time

    My dog would eat a 40 pound bag of dog food if she could. She found a dead cow in the field in December that the farmer had dumped a couple days before and refused to leave it until I walked over to her and pulled her away from it by the collar. All she wanted to do was eat more beef. lol

    Feeding Time

    Haha. My dog would be dead if I let her eat all that she wanted to. Literally, there is no control.

    Water in the field...

    I fill a small bucket with a cover and keep that in the back of my truck. I don't carry water while I'm actually hunting. My hunting spots are all less than an hour at a time, and I don't hunt in the heat or warmth of October anyways.

    Feeding Time

    My dog is a bottomless pit. It doesn't matter if the food is cold, hot, wet, dry, or rotting. It goes down the gullet like a pelican inhaling fish.

    HOE-LEE-COW!

    He has gotten to be slightly more tolerable than he used to. If I'm not mistaken he had a stroke or a heart attack and then lost a lot of weight. I think that experience humbled him some. Too many johnsonvilles would be my guess. I do like that his shows are new every week. I tune out...

    2024 Spring Turkey Hunt

    That's a nickname for the pen raised pheasants on this forum. Also known as pseudo-roosters. They look like pheasants, but they act more like domesticated poultry.

    2024 Spring Turkey Hunt

    This steep decline in the Kansas turkey population has been brought up here before. Its too bad they couldn't see it coming and responded with lower bag limits/shortened seasons before it became a major issue. Obviously the pheasant population has been in a gradual decline for years because of...

    Uninsulated Boots??

    I think as long as you are on the move and your feet are dry, they will stay warm. Whether the boot is insulated or uninsulated. Sitting while hunting is a completely different ball game. I use 400g insulated boots but mine are all-purpose. I use them for upland, turkey, and deer hunting. I...

    2024 Spring Turkey Hunt

    Let's hear about it. Strategy, success, failure, photos, whatever. I know there's plenty of turkey hunters on this forum. I intend to hunt season B (shotgun) here in MN which starts on April 24. gobble gobble

    Dog Breed Popularity

    Ya smaller ankle biter fashion popularity breeds have no appeal to me either. Obviously they are very popular though, and the data shows it. Most pet owners are not hunters like us. We're in the very small minority overall. I don't agree having a cat either, but that's just me.

    Dog Breed Popularity

    Ya, and they cost thousands of dollars to get one too. People are even stealing them.

    With the potential ban of tik tok looming, all Chinese bot usage on American soil have been temporarily halted.

    Lab guys sorry but....

    I've never heard of it being that early. My regular vet said there would be a noticeable slow down in energy around 10. I did see that. I haven't seen any more exponential slow down or lack of energy since though, and my dog just turned 12 last month. I can definitely see that warmer temps...

    Lab guys sorry but....

    I just started this about 6 months ago based on the advice of the vet. My dog turned 12 in February. She is very good health for a 12 year old. I've used the same vet for most of her life and the single most important variable I can control is her weight. The vet told me this from day 1 and...
