    Tough Winter

    I have a uncle who farms here in Emmet county, right next to Dickinson county. He has a stand of pine trees on his farm. He told me he had 15 deer sand 35 pheasnt hiding in it while we had all the snow and blowing. About a third of the birds were roosters.I'll try to be cautiously optomistic.

    Who's hunting (rain or shine)?

    I don't get to wound up about openers anymore. I usually let the out of staters have it the first couple weekends. Besides, it's usually to warm for my dog. On the upside. I'll be off of work from November 11th through January 4th. Should give me a little time to bag a few roosters.

    Best UPLAND hunting pants

    I was thinking they also have a regular tin pant in single, double and triple layers ? I've heard of the pants you're talking about.

    Best UPLAND hunting pants

    You may want to check out what Filson has to offer. I personally have never had any products from them so I can't vouch for them. But, I've heard many good things about their products.

    GWP'S vs. Deutsch Drahthaar

    Birdshooter hit the nail on the head with the strict breeding program. I don't own a DD, but I'm strongly considering one for my next dog. Not that I'm well traveled or been to many dog tests, but most of the GWP's I've seen have really poor coats. That doesn't take anything away from their...

    Good vest for big guys

    Check out Gamehide products. I'm not sure what sizes they go up to. But, I'm 6' tall and break 300lbs. I have one of their zip game vests in 3X. It's a little snug when the cold weather jacket goes on, but it's livable. I'ts brown duck and blaze orange. I think was about $50 and made fairly...

    Hens

    I have a few relatives who work for the county driving road graders etc., here in NW Iowa. They've been seeing many birds ! I did see quite afew myself after last season. If the weather stays favorable it should be a good year.

    Garmin Alpha thoughts and where to buy? (training/gps)

    Thanks Shawk -- I have the Tri-Tronics Upland G3 for my pooch. I was really unsure what to buy back in the begining, but it seemed like everybody over on Versatiledogs.com, said that Tri Tronics was hands down the best. I do like the collar I have, but I think silence while knowing where your...

    9mm

    I've never hunted out west before. I would love to go elk hunting one day. I was watching a show on the outdoor channel a couple years ago and the guides were using Benelli slug guns for back up on bear hunt in Alaska. I always wondered how a large lead slug would work on a heavy boned animal...

    Youth Pheasant Gun

    I think break action guns are great for youth as long as the gun isn't a break action single shot with a hammer. I went with a semi auto 20ga for my daughter after doing the research. Apparently a single shot break action shotgun with a hammer can become inadvertantly cocked by a child.
