These video guys

I was just telling my dad over the weekend, somewhat jokingly but also a little seriously, that they should have some WMAs that are handicap friendly and I'm surprised they don't.

Not saying every one should be, but I'm a little surprised they don't have a few WMAs that are "accessible" for a guy in a wheelchair that could get out and cruise along a mowed path while their dog works the adjoining grass. They do that for a few duck spots, with pre-made blinds that are supposed to be given to someone handicapped. So I'm a little surprised they don't have a handful scattered around pheasant country.

On some federal land,they built ramps for handicapped people to duck hunt.
 
A lot of times,state sections are crap.I hunted one yesterday that had had cattle grazing on it for 109 years.No water, no grass,no grain,very little cover.Typical public grounds.

Sounds like you can eliminate that spot from your milk run. Don't considerate it a waste of time, think of it as a learning experience.

I can't believe I wasted my time on that pos!! On another note,I just watched a little bit of a video.4 punks around 19 years old, hooting and hollering, making very unsafe shots.Idiots!!!

Goose, first, you need to simmer down. Second, who decided to hunt that spot, you or the dog? I thought so. You need to look in the mirror, forgive yourself for picking a crappy hunting spot, and promise to do better for the sake of River next time. So do your homework, go out and scout, and find a secret honey hole so that when Mr. Jones' paw is better you've got a great piece of land for him to hunt and learn on.
 
I guess I agree with waterdog09 on “this is what we are complaining about?” With the well-documented decline in license sales I think we need more hunters, not less. I also feel like hunting is getting tougher but it is due more to declining habitat (both quantity and quality) than more hunters.
I just got back from my first trip this year to SoDak and I saw more birds than any other year aside from 2005/2006. I have hunted same areas for last 22 years and it was outstanding… don’t worry you won’t see me posting videos!! But I have told several friends to get out this year since it is so good. Its supposed to be an La Niña year so weather could change to cold with multiple blizzards and kill most of them- you can’t put birds in a bank for next year.

Don’t worry, in 10-20 years when most of us older members are dead and gone, or at least too old to hunt anymore, there won’t be a big rush from the millennials to fill the hunting ranks, at least based on what I am seeing. The younger generations do seem to be more interested in big game, but I see very little interest in small game from them. I grew up hunting squirrels, rabbits, and birds. I know of almost no one younger than 35 that is or was hunting small game.

I would certainly be willing to pay more for bird licenses if money was used to develop habitat or get more access. $120 for 2 weeks of pheasant hunting in SoDak is almost criminally low amount. Skiing in my home state is $120 a day, or more, and I think pheasant/bird hunting is more rewarding—certainly more exercise! And for those that will say I should give more to to PH and QF if I feel $120 is too low, don’t worry I already do. I even have the “stickers” to prove it. Conserving and improving land is expensive and worth every penny. I wish one of these billionaires that we have out there would take up bird hunting, get hooked, realize how good it is (maybe post some videos) and then donate to RGS, PF, QF or whatever organization is improving and protecting habitat, AND allowing access for the public. I would vote for them for president!! It seems like big ag could provide some areas that are dedicated to “rest-rotation” crp-like lands that they allow the common man to explore and hunt? Give them some tax break or incentive. We already have price supports for a lot of the crops maybe it could be tied to habitat and/or access? I’m just dreaming!!

My gut feeling was it was crap, but I went anyway. Long walk in for nothing. A lot of times these ranchers will graze a state section down to nothing.There was great cover surrounding it.

When I see these blue bloods from California out in the boonies of montana, I think of the internet. It's the only way they find these places,and this I know. Wearing orange, driving a 100k rig, grabbing ass.These guys are using the internet. I guess I just miss the 70s and 80s,when hunting was simple.

With inflation, 100K just aint what it once was. As long as they arent robbing banks or liquor stores who cares anyway!
 
Goose owning a bunch of fancy old side by sides, a ski boat, a grandpa who was a famous judge, and a big wig dad who could afford ritzy pay hunting places by Gregory. I'm starting to think all the talk of driving an old pickup, drinking pbr, and never paying more than 12 bucks for a box of shells is a cover up. At this point it wouldn't surprise me to catch a glimpse of him on the high Canadian, covered head to toe in orange, playing grab-ass with a rich buddy by the tailgate of his brand new suburban. The goose has blue blood running through every vein in his body.

No suburban, no grab ass, no 5 guys,no pay,no orange, 1 Gucci gun.I do drive an old 41 year old rig at times.Solo hunting is where it's at imo.
 
I think that Gucci lodge we hunted in 2003 was called the Circle C ranch near Gregory. My dad paid for that deal.I really slayed a bunch of birds in yhat 3 days.Thats the only time I've pay hunted pen raised pheasant. They presented many lay ups,and passing shots.
