I am was fortunate to be raised in Phx metro area, went to U of A, then moved all over the country until settling in the PNW. I live in northern Idaho, hunt pheasants weekly. In the past 4 seasons, have made it to AZ to hunt quail and visit family. Some of my most memorable hunts have been...

The Lewiston chapter has not been active to my knowledge. I have tried to contact them to no avail. No communication regarding fund raisers. Also in Moscow/Viola, there is the The Gamebird Foundation which is a similar organization that is well rooted in the community.

There are geese all over Dworshak. There has been talk of a special season there but nothing official has been said. Probably just rumors. Crazy amount of turkey opportunities. Most have never been hunted. Ducks have been seen scattered around the lake but never in any numbers. Never...

x2 It is the BV 15 vest. Use it for turkey also.

Do you have Tinnitis also?

Not many pheasants at all, Some quail. Bunch of Ruffed Grouse blues at higher elevation. And for turkey...insane amounts. Flush grouse every time I go out.

Screen protector is a must also

I have a pair of Danner Pronghorn and East Ridge. Both had fraying of the stitching on the inner part of the boot. Had it repaired at a local boot store that sold and repaired Danners. Comfortable but will see how long they last.

A dog that retrieves. Working on my GSP that is doing great but retrieving is not his strong point. Will be working on that. Also Outdoor Research Snow gaiters.

I have always been a bit Dogtra fan but changed since I needed a GPS collar. I like the idea, pricepoint is excellent. Only I prefer a physical button for quick correction, not a touchscreen.

Is your dog a stick or bone eater?

base layer is usually "performance" shirt/underwear, Ski socks. Usually a synthetic blend fabric. UA/Nike/Champion etc. They all work. My main cold weather down to 10 degrees is Dry-fit t-shirt, Sherpa Shirt and UA sweatshirt(Or mid weight jacket). Still working on pants. Usually wear...
