    2021 Indiana Pheasant Hunt

    That doesn’t surprise me. Some of the best ground in the Midwest there and lots of money around that area. They won’t be making any more ground. What’s here is all there is. I see prices going up even further.

    Late Season Roosters Tactics

    Shooting hours end at 4:30 in Iowa. I was there recently and no joke….4:33 two roosters flew into the public hunting property from a private field within a few feet of my vehicle. Nothing was pushing them in the other property. It was a corn field. They are intelligent and they learn patterns. I...

    2021 Pheasant Hunting Videos

    What choke are you using? I just bought a Franchi Affinity 3. Yardage is hard to tell on the GoPro but roughly what is the edge of range on some of these shots? By the way enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing.

    Coldest hunt you've been on

    30 below wind chill in Indiana hunting old railroad right of ways in 2000. One side was blown shut so we used two vehicles and parked a mile apart and hunted one way and then leap frogged down the railroad. We did get a couple of birds if my memory serves me correctly. This is my friend and...

    Advice for central Iowa

    I totally agree. I really didn't care if I got a bird or not as long as he did. Seeing him smiling and happy made it worth everything.

    Advice for central Iowa

    Just sharing an update with everyone. A few guys sent some suggestions my way....thank you very much! We hunted a couple hours on the 26th on our drive in from Indiana, all day the 27th, and a couple hours on our way out on the 28th. My son has a short leave so a little bit of time hunting is...

    Is Rawhide safe for dogs

    Agree on only made in USA. I’ve tried them and they seem to be a choking hazard to a degree They get a large piece soft and pliable which they want to swallow. A large section doesn’t break down in the stomach and could block the bowel from what I’ve read. My dog swallowed a large piece as a...

    2021 Indiana Pheasant Hunt

    Most of the ground beside a ditch is marginal anyway. Not to mention erosion over time. So if there were an incentive they may be interested. Great idea. The worst they can do is say no. They always worry about weeds and sometimes mow too short and at the wrong time of year. So that’s something...

    2021 Indiana Pheasant Hunt

    One of my honey holes had many fence rows, a marsh, a ditch, cattails in a low area. Produced a lot of birds. All the fence rows are gone now except two even though the property is still in 7 sections of ownership. The low area has been tiled and farmed. The marsh has been bulldozed in...

    2021 Indiana Pheasant Hunt

    I have 3 spots that have produced birds over the years. This year I’ve only seen one bird after going twice to all 3 spots more than a week apart. The birds I have seen are mature for the most part. I’m guessing a lot of chicks didn’t make it this year. Ditches are about all that are left with...

    2021 Indiana Pheasant Hunt

    It’s lean in Indiana this year. At least on my areas where I have permission. I walked 10 miles today and go two birds at the end of the day. Benton County. There are birds around but nothing like normal. It’s never great in Indiana….you earn your birds. Marked difference this year.

    My son is on leave from the Army the end of December. He is just finishing basic training at Fort Benning. Would like to take him pheasant hunting while he is on leave as I don’t know when we’ll get the opportunity again anytime soon. I was looking at public grounds near Grundy county or just...

    Question for anyone who has ever bought a pup from a breeder

    My friend has been a breeder for many years. He tries to match the pup with the home it is going to. He tries to steer the decision based on his knowledge of the pups behavior. Case in point...you don’t want the dominant energetic male going to a 6 year old timid little girl. But in the end he...

    5 month old puppy pointing and flushing wild Quail in East Central Indiana!

    Thank you! I’m very pleased with her! Quail populations are good in southern Indiana for sure. I think the regulations used to designate an increased limit south of 26. (Maybe it still does). This property is near homes and kids etc. I’m not going to fire a gun around and upset my neighbors...

    Stealth is important and often overlooked. Shutting the vehicle door quietly is an acquired art!
