I just keep driving. Steel is junk.

Forgot to answer the original post. Most people I've already contacted don't give much a damn about the Covid, buit I simply step back a ways from the door and keep my 6 feet. Most are elderly.

This is a great topic, and one that everyone can learn from. First a caveat- I do hunt in an area where a lot of people know my family and that does open some doors. Not always. But I have amassed a lot of great pheasant cover over the last several years and made some good friends doing so...

I had another real good year in NW iowa, but a late start with the harvest. Didn't even shoot a bird the first 3 weeks. Late season really turned on though and scads of 'em were out. I hunted all private ground, mostly CRP. Late season I turned to the antique doubles and a muzzleloader. One...

I hunt the SouthPass to Farson areas and can vouch for it also! Wyoguy I'll drop you a line...

Looking to share info and compare notes in prep for a bird huunting trip this fall. Looking to expand the species roster from the Sage and Blue grouse I've been after and looking at new areas. No, not asking for anyones secret spots, just regional info...

You confirm my fears. I'm curious what the window for the "second hatch" is?

All my dogs respond to G-dammit.

So you’re writing off the state based on a failed 5 day trip. Good call. Reality is, from an actual Iowan, parts of the state do suck. And parts are awesome, I wouldn’t trade it for the Dakotas (and I’ve lived there too). For the OP- the other recommended tactic of offering to spruce up the...

Well, it does take work. I'm at my personal best on roosters and seen all sorts of birds yet this weekend. But, more guys that quit trying means more birds for me...
