Unintended Consequences of being a Pheasant Hunter

[John Singer]

I have two observations of negative consequences of my pheasant hunting.

I have started running my dog on cool mornings these past two weeks.

1. A couple of nights ago, I put my cell phone on the charger when I went to bed. When I got up in the morning, it had not charged.

It turns out that grass/weed residue and seeds clogged up the charging port. Several times during the season, I have to clean it out using fine wire welding tip cleaners.

2. My lawn grows more weeds than my neighbors. My truck, my dog, and my clothes/ boots bring home weed seeds from every hunt.

The things we endure in order to chase pretty birdies.

Zippered pockets on my hunting pants solved the problem for me. Legs get coated with dust. It's a bitch out there John.
Let's relax with a brew and solve those "negative consequences"

Old habits die hard. I refuse to carry my phone when hunting and usually fishing. Maybe not smart and my hunting partner gets ticked sometimes when we get separated but I just can't abide the intrusion while pursuing game. I have taken it in the deer stand but make damn sure the ringer is off.

I wondered where all of the weeds in my yard came from....

A case with a port cover is requirement for me. Solves the problem of dirt and dust getting into it.

I went to a flat charger that I lay my phone on. Eliminates the need to put anything in the port....which is normally the first thing to break on my phones...so now they last longer.
