    I'm pretty sure paid actors are at every town-hall meeting asking question. Regardless of what side of the aisle. Just saying...politics...and such.

    November witch 40 years ago today

    I feel like then northeast corner of Minnesota is somber all over. My father's side of the family is from Chisholm. I spent many days up there though my youth and teenage years, fishing at the lake my grandparents lived, and hunting the woods around them. When I was little, that area was...

    I hope something slid over to the east with that storm. It's always a crapshoot over here on the outskirts. Sometimes they come right through, other times they're further west. I guess we'll just have to see this weekend.

    Well, I'm going hunting Sunday regardless. We'll see if any fresh birds are down or if it's the same old brown ducks we've been after for weeks. I couldn't care less. Right now it's all about sitting in a slough, watching the sunrise, and making some memories. You definitely aren't going to...

    Refurbished Graphs?

    Thanks for this. I actually was reading reviews and the 7 is mediocre or less, at best. The 5 seems to be pretty top notch. I think I'll get the 5. It'll fit better in my boat, anyway. - - - Updated - - - Aaaand they're sold out. Eff. Me.

    Refurbished Graphs?

    So you guys are saying I should buy one. Well, what's the point of saving money if you don't spend some once and awhile?? - - - Updated - - - There's also this little number...

    Sad deal

    I hope more details come out. Right now all this speculation gives us more questions than answers. Like, if he stripped down to get a duck, that leads me to believe it was too deep to wade. And he'd likely have to swim. So in that case: 1) Was the water cold? Hypothermia cold? 2) Did the...

    Refurbished Graphs?

    I've always winced a bit when I see refurbished graphs for sale. But for 50 percent the new price, I'm definitely considering this one from Lowrance...

    What's stopping the birds from simply moving laterally into Manitoba? Honestly question. From my experience, if there's tons of food and water on the ground, biological imperative be damned.

    Sad deal

    I know the exact moment I decided I wasn't hunting another duck season without a dog. It was a year when we had low water levels, and the hole we hunted was the worst soul-sucking muck you've ever seen. I shot a duck, it landed just outside the decoys, and by the time I reached it I was...

    Tile Showers

    This is 100 percent accurate. Had laminate floors and drop-in showers at our old house. Thought they looked cheap, but whatever. New house has tile floors and tile showers. Pain in my posterior is greatly exacerbated.

    If the poodle really does have an ailment and he needs rest, but you're not ready to hang up your shotgun, drop me a line. My two dogs are always ready to point and retrieve a limit beyond my own.

    Royce's mystery gimpy rear right leg

    If it's not seriously impeding him, I'd hunt him and watch. With two GWPs prone to every health issue and accident in the books, I've decided I'd rather they do what they love in the field than sit at home and mope.

    ^^^^ Exactly. It's why I love hunting phez November on. Most of the guys who are super gung ho around opener have already fizzled out. There's a lot of weekend days I never hear another shot fired.

    Pheasant Opener

    We saw a couple broods of phez barely bigger than quail last Friday while hunting a field for waterfowl. I think the GNF had their counts right...they just missed all the late hatches. Definitely looking forward to November/December hunting.

    Have fun! All the corn is still standing out here, which means that's where the birds will be. Plus, plenty of ducks and geese around still. I'll let the fair-weather hunters burn boot leather until the crops are off. Then it's go time.

    Sad deal

    I just read another story that claims a friend was watching him retrieve a duck, and saw him start to struggle on the way out. Then called the cops.

    Sad deal

    Not that I've ever experienced. I have a belt that holds shotgun shells, but it's certainly not tight enough to hold out incoming water.

    Phez is this weekend. Will open a whole 'nother can of worms. And really, MEA weekend is the worst. I think this year it's Oct. 20-21 or something like that. Freaking gong show.
