Any high temp

Welcome to the site. Head west for several hours.

Gim, I have a picture in my head of you....in moccasins with a tennis racket in lush green shin height grass, pheasant hunting silently. If you make your way south, look me up and we can talk and shoot some pheasants...at the same time.

" Think about the dog busting thru cover, you walk thru the cover, gun shots, heck you might even talk to the dog or hit the locate button for the collar. " OK, now I hope you are just pulling our chain now Gim. If that is true, your style is not working. Your need a couple gun shots or you...

IT DOESN'T SEEM MATTER. Think about the dog busting thru cover, you walk thru the cover, gun shots, heck you might even talk to the dog or hit the locate button for the collar. I think way too much is made of this. Heck, I have had guys with whistles and are blowing those things every 30...

When I hunt in a larger group, heck, even 2, if I can tell it is a rooster (and I am not in a position to shoot at it) I am calling it out, but I do hens also. I usually hunt right at 8:00 and at times during the season, the sun is low for the first part of the hunt, I call them as someone else...

Shoot, all my territory is in the "fair" zone. Looks like I shouldn't be expecting limits before noon now. Oh well. "Pockets" as water dog says.

Gim, if cackles it is a rooster. If someone who is authorized to check you checks, I will say they can tell the hens from roosters in their hands. Maybe someone here has an idea when the young roosters gain the ability to produce a cackle.

Yes it did. I think we mowed once the second year. Year 3 it was awesome. Other than patches of Canadian thistles and brome invading, it is what we planted.

I think we had ours mowed 3 times that first year. Maybe at heights of 6" then 8-10" and and about a foot tall the last time. I do remember that the marestail stocks/stems were about a hazard to the dogs belly that season....they "pinked" him up pretty good.

I think you are pretty safe to rely on a cackle to determine the sex...if it cackles, it is a rooster.

We did a Round-up burn-down just days before have our CRP drilled. They won't let you spray something that kills the forbs, if you planted a mix containing them, unless it is a complete thistle jungle and they OK it in writing. It will be another slice of paradise in a few years....Iowa is...

Let us know if you get a taker and what amount you collect. You might try to find a forum devoted to quail to promote the 20K weekend to. Heck of a first post. I would say welcome, but I have a feeling you will not really be here. Should be in the classified section, but this doesn't fit...

I saw a hen on the the edge of a county black top yesterday, she had at least 2 chicks with her that I saw. Those chicks weren't much bigger than sparrows. I think they will be very lucky to make it through this winter as will that hen.

Isn't this one about the worst! I won't answer a call while hunting.

Great to "hear"....my hearing is fading. I have never worn the earing protection while hunting, that could have something to do with it. Growing up on a farm with loud tractors, running a grinder/mixer, loud stereos as a youngster and inadvertent gun fire exposed has played a big role in this...

Sure...until a rooster flushes!

What?! Very common?!

So a Vikings fan? Welcome. Nice to see pics and where you are from. If the dog did decent last year, he should be even better this season. Look forward to more pics in a couple months!

If you make it to Le Mars, you aren't far from me! Let me know if you are coming this way. Where are you from, nothing in your mini bio.
