I have never seen that piss poor of a display of shotgunning in my life... Normally, if I miss, my dad will clean up after me or vice versa... I am not sure how many times he shot, but I ran 5 or 6 rounds out there and he had to have shot at least that many times himself. Oh well... they will be...

I had a golden and a lab as a kid that both would bring wild birds back to me a few times a season. All on private ground and all wild birds.

https://www.winsomeweims.net/ I know this guy hunts his dogs almost every day of the season on wild birds here in Iowa. I see him on the gravels in full blaze orange and at the gas station in chaps all the time. His kennels are clean. I do not know much more, he is a customer of a former...

Been in Ida County for the majority of my years.

Shot an 870 wingmaster for 20 years with very few times carrying something different in the field. I bought an A400 upland one week before the opener this year and cannot believe how much I like that gun. I have owned several O/U, SxSs, and various autos in the past, some are still in the safe...

I know nothing about the lines or names to look for when looking at GSP litters... If a guy was looking for a smaller dog (40 lbs.) with high drive and a solid natural point... what are the names in the pedigree to look for. Dog will be used for pheasant mainly, but we do see a fair amount of...

I have found that Cabelas still carries some quality gear that you cannot find elsewhere, but you have to do your research. Just ordering a Cabelas brand anything does not mean it will be a quality item. I used to go to a cabelas store as a destination (closest one is over 2 hours away) a few...

Its in the book... When you buy a hunting a license and go hunting in Iowa, you agree to being checked by a CO. I don't necessarily agree with the rules, but am willing to play by them in order to participate. I would say the CO told you he had thought about doing a traffic type stop but decided...
