So very true, Don ! The trips I made to Iowa were similar. I made my first trip cold turkey with only a place to stay, and the promise of 1,500 acres to hunt. It was a blast and I learned a lot. I eeven killed a few pheasants. Each subsequent trip got better and I came home with a limit of...

Alright guys, I'll give you that one. No excuse for not saying thank you; however, 2011 went to hell after I posted that message. That was the year my wife nearly died in the hospital, TWICE ! You're right though. I should have at some point checked back and said sorry, I ain't going to make it...

I think I was well on the way from the very start ! Everybody's a comedian at the expense of someone else until they want or need something. Then it's a whole different perspective.

Can we please get back on the original topic ? While I appreciate the humor, it was a serious question. Thanks !

Looking at the extreme weather patterns over the last several years . . . . , flooding, droughts, extreme heat, record low temperatures, and blizzards . . . . , and how they have impacted the bird populations, where would you place your bets for the best locations to hunt this year ? Which...

I'm a police officer here in Indiana, and like so many others, I'm looking to make a trip out to Kansas this year. I'll most likely be hunting by myself, and its unlikely I'll have a dog with me. Can you point me in the right direction to get in some decent foot hunting in Kansas ? I'm...

I'm a police officer here in Indiana, and like so many others, I'm looking to make a trip out to South Dakota this year. I know season doesn't open until October 15th; however, I have 2 weeks off work this year, October 9th through October 22nd. I'll most likely be hunting by myself, and its...

Pictures Can you email me pictures to [email protected] ? Thanks !

I'm looking for a good trainer for an English Setter in West Central Indiana or East Central Illinois. Any suggestions ? Thanks !

As far as shy dogs go, I had a nice little female English Setter given to me because she was "too timid". Well, when I went to get her I understood why she was so timid. This old guy was about 6 feet 2 and was an old submarine officer. He was about as gruff and mean as one could be with the...

I would have to say, without a doubt, it was a Brittany named Belle. Belle was what I call an "old fashioned" Brittany being heavier and larger than many of todays "small type" Brittanys. She was given to me by a guy who was going back into the service. She taught me a tremendous amount...

Greetings ! I'm new to UPH. I just learned about the site a few days ago from another member. I've been a police officer here in Indiana for the last 18 years or so. I'm also a real estate broker. I've been a lifelong hunter, hunting just about everything over the last 40 years including small...

Thank you so much for the info and suggestions. Fred

I am thinking about making a trip from west central Indiana to Kansas to pheasant hunt. I've hunted Iowa before but I don't think its the place to go this year. My question is how far west do I need to go into Kansas to strike a good balance between the drive time from Indiana and the number of...
