Sorry about the inability to reply. I wish I had a better excuse but I don't. I've been putting pheasant scent on a tennis ball to get my dog excited to search out pheasants, I have no idea if it has been working. I'm going to need him to hunt with a more experienced dog. This weekend I plan...

I don't necessarily think the books you get are important, I got Gun Dog, and while the methods I might not have agreed with, the outcome is undeniable. I went the route of buying a BUNCH of books, and then reading all of them and taking bits and pieces I thought were great ideas. Now, I...

Look at this incident and the OJ incident, there's only one constant. Football players. Guns don't kill people, football players kill people. Lets ban them.

I'm going to go to the Rat River Wildlife area on Saturday morning, and probably Sunday morning also. It's located just west of Appleton, northwest of Oshkosh, and just northeast of Lake Winneconne. If anyone wants to go, reply here or PM me. I've got a young dog (that seems afraid of...

I am open every single weekend in December. The last weekend of December might be tough for me, my birthday is three days after Christmas, then three days before New Years, but truth be told, I would rather be somewhere in a field than pretty much anything else, and I couldn't think of a better...

My grandmother had Alzhemier's and passed away quite a few years ago. In the beginning stages, when it was just setting in, she moved to a assisted living center. It was pretty nice, she had her own apartment and kitchen and everything. But if she needed help they had a little call box in every...

I have never had to sell them in tough times, ironically, during this last move we sold a lot of things, myself much much much more than the wife. The reason being not tough times, but simply because there are quite a few items I don't use or have a use for anymore, and I didn't want to move...

I got the basement. It's finished, but not nearly as nice as the addition I had in Kenosha. At the moment it's just a 65" tv, a couch, the gun locker, and boxes. Yes, I moved almost a month ago and have no unboxed stuff yet.

My dad stopped all hunting when he got older, he's still in great shape, but he doesn't have much time to do that sort of thing anymore. Saturday morning I was sitting in a stand as the sun was coming up over the Wisconsin woods, and I looked around, expecting to see my dad 100 yards away. But...

I was born and raised in Racine, and spent lots of time in Kansasville on Eagle Lake in summer where my family still has a house. I used to go to the Racine County Fair every year and volunteer to bartend for the VFW out there. I don't live in SE WI anymore (recent change) but man I wish you...

Upland, if Gunslinger knows the area, and you'd like to go hunt next weekend during gun deer opening weekend, I'll go. My pickup will be fixed by next weekend and I have no plans as I am not deer hunting this weekend.

Finally got internet in the Middle Of Nowhere, Winneconne, Wisconsin. Gunslinger, I was going to call you last weekend, then the fuel pump went out in my truck. So I got that fixed. Wanted to go tomorrow, then saw fuel leaking out of my truck just this afternoon. We are all settled in, and I...

After Wednesday I'll be living in Winneconne, it will take me some time to get settled, but if you're open to it, I would be able to join you.

One of my new stores from the transfer is in Weston. I was there this past Thursday, first time I was in Wausau in 15 or more years. That town got huge. I swear it was two stop lights in that town 15 years ago. I will be living in Winneconne, and my area covers everything from Wausau to Fond Du...

What happens if the bird is ten or twenty yards away and you don't get a solid shot on it? Not only would you endanger other people or animals that could be around, but you would injure a bird. I would be amazed if you actually hit a flying bird with a .22.
