Lots of heavy rain for couple days but got out on friday and managed 2 birds for my buddy who's had a stroke and a complete knee replacement but still goes out best he can, made it even better as my dog that he trained yrs ago to a senior ACK hunter with one leg towards her master hunter had the...

Scrubbed the collars this am again and got a chance to sneak out at 5pm and 20 minutes into the hunt put up 3 birds got one that was a rooster. Well this bird was one nice big mature bird so maybe they stopped with the small/young birds. Although the hens I put up were small. 2 more finds...

They do a good job stocking, for 5 weeks they stock designated areas at least once a week, bigger more popular areas get it 2 times a week, and the real big areas get stocked 3 times a week. Also the sportsman clubs stock birds. You are from PA? Used to do competition hunts at Warriors Mark...

About scenting, yesterday took the seresto collars off and washed them. Today the dogs were able to find 2 birds but they were within 5 ft of the birds. Seems to have helped so going to wash them again tonight to try to speed up the recovery. I know my dogs and the one that usually points...

There were small birds out there but unfortunately My dogs were running by them. Figured it out that I put the Seresto tick collars on them 2 days ago. Last year when I used the advantix they were unable to properly scent birds for almost 2 weeks, then we finished well. Just a heads up for...

The Cape has a big WMA (wildlife management Area) named Crane, its located closer to the cape cod canal but on the cape side of the canal. They stock this area 3 times a week and the cape being in Barnstable county they don't allow the shooting of hens so they do have a limited native...

Many factors to consider for what would be the best shell for your circumstances. I shoot side by side shotguns in all guages but the 20 and 410 are my favorites. Next I hunt over very skilled GSP's (I have 3 of them). The birds I shoot are stocked pheasants, wild woodcock and wild ruffed...

Bird hunting is OK here in the Western end of the state, pretty much the Conn Valley area along the Ct River. Yes it is a put and take 6 week season with no hunting on Sunday (old time blue laws). But not only does the state stock many areas but the sportsmans clubs raise birds and stock public...
