Bleu, thanks for the reply. It's all about proximity to home. I have had successful hunts on public but plenty of unsuccessful ones as well. I'm in fort collins and our local public spots are few and get hit hard.

Hello Gents, I know it's a bit late but I'm looking into paying to play this year for waterfowl and am wondering if anyone could recommend a good lease for me and a friend to join somewhere north of Denver along the front range. Duck and goose options preferred but we're mostly interested in...

Thanks guys, I cannot post pics to save my life. jpg sizes easily within the allowed limits are failing :(

Guys, Like many of you I've spent a lot of time looking for grouse with zero success. Over the last 2 seasons I've put in 5 days in North Park searching the aspen/sage interface at about 8k FOE without a single flush. This year I've heard a couple non hunters telling me about sightings in...

Hen, Hen, Words fail me here, I pray for peace for you family. Hope you have a great bird season. Ryan

Gents, i missed the opener this year, sounds like some of you scratched out a few but it seems we'll have to work real hard for em this year. So, i thought it would be fun to talk shop about some other venues. I'm willing to do some driving to get my 8 yr old catahoula pound puppy turned...

Someone told me about these a while back and i've been very happy with them. https://www.dogbooties.com/shop/1000-denier-cordura®-booties/ I do vet wrap under the booties and a band of duct tape over the bootie velcro. I have lost two booties in about 15 days of hunting, they are starting to...

I can't thank you guys enough for the advice. More than anything I'm making the drive to get in the dog work. My dog is in his prime and I can't bear to let a full season go by here in Colorado with so little action for him after getting used to the last couple banner years. MNMTHunting...

I'm planning a trip to western ND next week for pheasant, leaving 12/14. 2 guys, 2 experienced flushing dogs. Looks like a storm is pushing through as we speak. Any advice regarding hunting after the storm, should the snow help or hurt? We're still undecided on exact location but figure we'll...

The plan for this weekend is to drive to north dakota next weekend :) Good luck out there. You should be able to scratch a couple birds out. let us know how you do.

Our group of 4 guys and two experienced dogs put up 2 roosters on opening day after hunting hard dawn to dusk. One on WIA near julesburg, the other on private land near holyoke. Missed both shots, one being inexcusable :) Saw about a half dozen hens that day. On sunday we killed 3 roosters in...

Please do let us know when the real hunter hunting season begins. Me and my buddies had a nice time this weekend so I'm sorry to hear our presence was unwanted. If there's additional things we can do to avoid your disdain in the future please advise. So far I have 1. Dont hunt opening weekend 2...

Most of the guys we talked to at our hotel in Julesburg on sat night were frustrated, a few guys had got into decent numbers but many had been skunked. The first 6 or 7 fields we walked on saturday morning (assortment of crp, wheat stubble and pivots) were almost totally devoid of birds, dog was...

Grew up in Des Peres. Thanks for the kind words everyone and good luck to the CO guys hitting the opener tomorrow. It's my first CO opener and I'm a little apprehensive about the crowds but I guess I'll try anything once!

I should clarify, I grew up in St. Louis but frequented the family farm in southeast IA near Wapello.
