Jim gave me the opportunity to kill my first wild pheasant (killed all released pheasant in Ohio) and get a start on how to hunt pheasant out west. I will be forever grateful to him and his family for opening his land to me. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. not many like him...

Sold. Thanks for looking.

I have a 20 gauge Franchi Affinity Advantage Max 4 Camo shotgun for sale. I am asking $550 dollars which includes shipping to the FFL of your choice. It has a 26 inch barrel and a Modified Choke tube. Shoots 2 3/4 or 3 inch shells. Very minor handling marks overall in really good shape...

Leachks16, Sounds fun to follow. If you hunt in the southern half of the state and would want to do a days hunt some day, PM me. Look forward to the page.

Had this exact thing happen to me in Michigan during the middle of a week long hunt. It wasn't fun. very upsetting to lose that much money. my fault though.....

atbrdly, I'm using a cheap Lightdow LD4000 mounted on the bill of my cap. It's working well enough for me after I fiddled with the settings a bit. I would like GoPro but can't justify the cost. I might try a Firefly 6s, that less expensive action camera looks interesting. Tim Tim, Thanks for...

video Tim, Nice Video! What recording equipment are you using?

Thanks reddog. Now that I googled the plant image, I have seen this before. I'm guessing a frost helps the awns fall off the plant? anyway good luck with her!

reddog, Just curious as to what area of the state do you hunt or ran into this. I am fairly new to SD hunting (two years) and still trying to learn. I will definitely try to avoid areas with wild rye or foxtail now. thanks for the heads up! any other advice you can give on the subject?

Looks like one of the days i will be in SD there is a 60% chance of rain (granted that is like 7 days away and i know how whether changes). Any tips for hunting in the rain? I have heard the dog has trouble with scent etc when its raining. Are there any other considerations? Thanks!

I have two SD hunting law questions. I thought i knew but was recently told otherwise. I have also searched the handbook but didn't see it mentioned. 1. Is there a 3 shell limit in your gun for pheasant hunting? In other words do you need a plug? 2. Is there a certain percentage of orange...

Thanks guys for the info. I tryed to search for older posts about this but was unsuccessful. I just didn't want to get one that didn't hold up. Thanks again!

I am looking at buying an automatic skeet thrower. I would like to know if anyone has any thoughts or opinions about the different ones on the market. I am looking for something that is durable but that will not hurt the bank. I need one that i can move around by myself and also shoot without...

I did not use force fetch. He was started when i got him and i'm not the most experienced when it comes to how to train or when training is needed. He seemed like he had the will and desire to retrieve so i let it be. I have not really used smaller birds. I have used a pheasant pelt dummy...

Thanks for the response. I have a guy going out with me to a preserve and i asked him to watch how i handle myself. Update - I strapped to e-collar to him when we are in the yard and i am using the dead birds to practice retrieveing. I tone him when he first picks it up and this seems to be...
