    Direct Payments to farmers/ranchers

    I'm kind of curious: how many modern ranchers put their herd out to pasture and rotate pasture land on a regular basis? If that's still common, is it regional? Only reason I ask is because the few ranchers I know of in the eastern part of the state keep their cattle in a yard and bring feed to...

    Pheasant opener 2017

    I think, like every dang pheasant opener, the vast majority of birds are in standing crops. It's more apparent this year in places because numbers are down, but I don't think it's nearly as bad as opening day has you all buffaloed. Then again, I'm not sure why I want to convince everyone to stay...

    Pheasant opener 2017

    Didn't PF do a bunch of research on "banking birds" in respect to harvest rates and population numbers?

    Pheasant opener 2017

    I seriously want to know the argument for making a LAW that the pheasant opener can't be opened any later than Oct. 12. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard -- especially during a year like this year.

    Pheasant opener 2017

    Trust me -- my dog's hate dear season. But I give them scraps during the butcher process. I feel that eases the sting a bit.

    Pheasant opener 2017

    I'm just playing the odds...either sit and hope for local ducks that have been shot at for a few weeks to possibly come within range, or walk for pheasants in whatever cover is left, knowing they're probably in the standing crop. OR say to heck with it, fill my bow tag, and save bird kitchen...

    Pheasant opener 2017

    I'm going to try and fill a bow tag. Ducks are stale and pheasants are in the standing corn. Good time to kill a whitetail until the bird season really cranks into high gear.

    Specks

    I'd shit a brick if I saw that number of specks in my area. After NR opener, I'll just be happy to shoot a limit of spoonies this weekend.

    Anybody up for a Goose Shot?

    Good old Pike. What a crappy frat. Figures they're relegated to shooting cheap booze off a dead honker, while normal guys are guzzling the finer spirits betwixt the full bossom of a frisky co-ed. Ya know, like normal straight college males are apt to do.

    Roost Buster - The Non Resident Way

    One of the greatest joys I've come to find are those little, overlooked water spots. The "teacups" as the ranchers call them out west. They barely show up on Satellite images, and rarely catch the eyes of fellow waterfowlers scouting the evening before. But you know them when you find them...

    Roost Buster - The Non Resident Way

    I have to confess that I'd much prefer to hunt water over fields. I mean, don't get me wrong, I like both. But there is a certain satisfaction from the "bang ... ker-SPLOOSH" of a fowl hitting water that you just don't get from the "bang ... thump" of a field. Plus it's WAY more fun watching...

    Roost Buster - The Non Resident Way

    You come around some areas with a decoy trailer boasting Roost Busting and that's a green light for certain locals to bust out the valve stem removal tool...

    Did all the ducks in MN leave???

    I'm not sure about just NRs. After resident opener, I'm scratching my head about all the hunters, period. Seems like suddenly everyone hunts ducks. Is it because nobody is getting deer tags??

    Las Vegas Jason Aldean concert crazy with a machine gun

    Has anyone heard the gun firing? I believe it was a bump-fire stock. Full auto is a bit more consistent. These shots were not. Plus, even with Nevada's lax gun rules, I think it still takes some serious paperwork to get a full-auto weapon legally. Then again, who's to say it was legally...

    Cool weather dinner's~

    I'm a big fan of this stew I make every year. It's super simple, and I usually make it in the morning before work: Cube up 1-2 pounds of venison (I usually label "stew meat" for just this situation), dice potatoes, carrots and celery, then add in some minced garlic and onion. In a skillet...

    Duck Gizzard

    I cooked up a pile a few years ago. Cleaned them really good. Fried them quick in butter and seasoning. There were OK. Weird texture. Flavor was fine. If you're a gizzard fan, I'm sure you'd find them palatable.

    Dog blind for field hunting?

    ^^^ Might I suggest a stake-out with a short chain? Maybe a couple feet long, tops? Pound that sucker in close to your blind, then hook it to the dog. Will keep it from bolting at the shot, and you can quick unclip him after the action is over so he can make the retrieve. I did this for my...

    Dog blind for field hunting?

    I used to use a dog blind. Don't any more. I think a dog trained to stay "kenneled" until release works very well for dog blind situations. Keeps them from breaking and also concealment. But for whatever reason the last few years I haven't been using them and have noticed zero issue with...
