    migration 23

    Kinda funny. I have found geese don't like to dive bombs much. Wonder if that is why I see them for sale all the time. I have a trailer of full bodies and like to mix dive bombs in. Seems geese flare when I use them. I personally think they're too shiny. Ducks don't care....couple mojos and...

    Grocery trip with da wife...

    I get your point however I think the biggest issue is how fast things went up. It used to be where here and there prices bumped up. Now it seems over night things explode, and not just a small bit. They double sometimes overnight.

    Advice Fox Red Labs

    I think Diamond J kennels in MN has red british. If you google british red lab breeders you'll find several but most not near midwest. Many kennels advertise " Red" labs but then you see pics and they're just darker yellows. Red is Red. Like others have said, they're classified/registered as...

    Early goose season

    Same here. Think it was '91 also. Got a double from a flock. Pretty much celebrated all day. Think you couldn't hunt geese after 12 0'clock if I remember?? That to a dozen yrs ago we were shooting 200+ a year. Now, it's slowly going down again.

    Early goose season

    Goose numbers are down considerably in my area. They have been for several years. Gfp drills the eggs and then have early season to point where numbers aren't great for a hunter. Too much competition here as well. I suppose farmers are happy though. Seems to be less and less small grain...

    Ducks in ND 2023

    I read many of the duck numbers are down in the dakotas. Wonder if cuz of drought conditions, maybe even that bird flu that swept through, i suppose habitat loss.

    red dot for muzzy

    Any advice on a cheaper yet quality red dot scope for my muzzle loader? I currently have western precision sights on. Brand new. Pretty neat but my eyes suck. Thinking of a decent red dot. thanks

    Plow for side by side

    Sorta true but not completely. I had large die off of grass this spring/summer. It winter killed. I learned that if a decent amount of snow (2 ft) sit in a spot for at least 90 days, it can/will kill it. We had snow starting last november all the way to april. Hence, my very blotchy yard...

    Tennis elbow and fishing

    I had it bad for a few years. I couldn't grab, hold or squeeze anything. About sent me throught the roof if I had to shake someone's hand. The band helped immensely when I rememberd to where it. I had a friend who had it but not as bad as me. He went to a dr and had surgery. Fixed it I...
