They are funny, painfully funny, since it is me.

So glad to not have these in Iowa! Last week I saw several FB vids where a porkie shows-up on someone's door step. They confront it and it shoots a multitude of quills at the person....I really hope that is AI generated!!

From Kansas, where you can watch you dog runaway for 2 weeks. Even if you aren't anywhere near your dog, in Kansas, couldn't you see someone removing the dog's collar and taking your dog? Oh, you think the people that would steal a hunting dog wouldn't think about that collar it is wearing...

What dates are you planning on hunting?

I think this is what I use...a "trigger" style. I just use a key ring to connect the swivel to the bell. You should be able to find either of these in any hardware/fleet and farm store. https://share.google/qQkTZElQebwy5RfBQ

I hunted a piece of public several years ago south of me. It must have be a mono stand of big bluestem...maybe it was Johnson grass. My buddy had no idea where his dog was the entire walk....I had no idea where my buddy was. I had the bell on, but still the cover was so tall when a bird got...

Where are you from, nothing in your bio. Are you solo, with a dog?

Now don't report too good of a report from there, we don't want Mcfarmer overrun with bird hunters.

I just remember thinking, that if one has hunted enough and thought they were of the caliber that they needed to record themselves to share their hunting, that they might have a better system in place. My shotgun is not valuable and it is older than many (of the members) ⁰on this site, but I...

Is this to be a comedy or a satire? I quit watching hunting videos a few years ago. The last one I saw, everytime the guy in it shot a bird, he laid his shotgun in the snow, I guess the game vest had no front access and it took 2 hands to stow it?? I would like to see if GH has a recent one...

The light sound of a ting-ting-ting, could have saved you from that situation. You would have been shooting birds instead of holes in the sky. Glad you found them. I am a "follow the dog guy", with out a bell in the cover I hunt, that just wouldn't always be possible. I want to hunt the...

That is just what I do. I sit around waiting for 7:45 and head-out. I don't head-out much earlier, as if you have ever been in a truck with an amped-up GSP, they can be inconsolable with the whining, yipping, barking & just raising heck wanting out. You get back home, clean the birds, post on...

As far as the crops in the field, 95% or more of the beans are gone and maybe 70% of the corn is gone. Just checked the forecast, 95% chance of rain tomorrow, so the farmers will get a short break to do maintenance. I was by myself, but still stirred-up a pile of birds. Of my 6 birds, 4 I...

Wow, I hope I can go out while hunting AND while retired. In my opinion, those are some extremely lucky men. Your post makes it seem that you have a better idea on the way to leave this life. Those fellas left just as I want to.

I do think Bob is hunting in the habitat you fellas have never experienced. It sounds like he is drifting into some good old fashion Iowa CRP. It doesn't matter the color of the dog, you can't see your fellow hunter's boots, heck you can't tell if your fellow hunters are wearing pants! This...

You will never get a pheasant with that bell on your dog....wait for the replies or read the old threads. I only use them when I am in cover that I can't see my dog when he is more than several yards away, heck in the switch grass I can't see him several feet away. When he locks up I use the...

So is it work or health keeping you out of the field Kevin? Were they hunting anywhere near a game farm or preserve? That is quite unusual for a wild bird. If mine, and it I felt it was an actual wild bird, I would have been straight to Baker in Lawton with it. I did shoot one today that I...

I saw plenty of birds, my shooting was sub-par, but with a few additional opportunities I had a limit in less than an hour. Heard some shooting from other hunters, so that was good. Just not many pheasant hunters around here these days. Personally the opener for me has gone from a big...

Had a friend once tell a story of opening the back of maybe a Dodge Ramcharger, a lively pheasant busted out and flew away. I don't think the situation was anything to get worked-up over.

We might all be lucky to get to that point. I trust you can shift focus to a different hobby to replace chasing birds. Wish you well in this next chapter of life.
