I was hunting a ways west of Pratt, Sunday. It was 60 degrees and it wasn't the most comfortable hunting. My dog had 8 points, mostly hens, one rooster (I missed) and a large covey. Temps and weather play a lot into it. A lot of birds were running and it was tough scenting for dogs. I was proud...

Just a little follow up. My dog has decided that he can retrieve quail. He has brought several back to me this year and he enjoys doing it. He still isn't bringing back pheasants, but I think it will come. He is getting the idea. Thanks for all the suggestions.

If they made it, folks would buy it.

I'm a 16 gauge fan as well. I have an 870 and a Browning BPS. It would be great if somebody still produced a semi auto for 16's. They are just the classic upland gun.

Pheasant, quail, turkey, deer, and dove. I like to chase pronghorn when I can draw a tag.

I hunt with a brittany, he is a good hunter and a great family dog. I'm looking to get another dog. I'm thinking about a vizsla, GWP or a small munsterlander.

Welcome to the site, always good to have more Wisconsin folks. What brewery do you work for. I think I've tried most of them in Wisonsin. I'm a big fan of New Glaurus Brewery.

Mine was a Mossberg 500 12 gauge. Mossbergs take a beating and keep on shooting. I still bring it out on rainy day hunts.

I have a new strap vest and chaps that I need to rub in the dirt before the opener after reading this thread. I don't want to be the guy straight out of Cabelas. I doubt I'll be confussed as "That Guy". I don't really have any feels good or bad about the "Cabelas Model". You usually don't see...

M.R. Byrd Let me know if you want to team up on some quail on the grasslands.

Thats why I love it. New things to find and most hunters won't get 200 yards from their truck.

I seems that something around 25 inches usually wins the longest tail feather contest out here. I've heard of some folks getting them up to 27-28 inches, but they never show up for the contest or never existed.

I think you have a better shot of getting into lesser chickens farther north. I hunt the grasslands lot and I might kick up 2-4 chickens all year. I think the blue quail are coming back after the blizzard a couple of years ago. I've seen some nice sized coveys, around 15-30 bird covies. But, we...

Welcome to the site, great to have more Wisconsin folks on the site.
