Hunted private land in Faulk county the 22nd - 25th. Numbers are definitely down but still had a great time actually hunting pheasants rather than just shooting into a sky filled with roosters...All beans were out (at least in our areas) and most of the corn was out (probably 80% out). Sat -...

Man, 12% that's hard to believe...must be making up for the last couple of years - either uber dry or wet - sounds like here in Indy. Orient huh, we usually hit the Orient for dinner at least a couples times while we're there, if we're not at the Steak-Out in Faulkton. Most of our hunting is...

Hey Phil - sorry, didn't notice this message on here. I am just south of greenfield proper out in the middle of some corn/bean fields but the phez pop is 0! Too many predators I guess. My father-in-law farms and there's a covey or two of bobwhites scattered around his land my lab & I work every...

Welcome SouthPaw, not too many of us Indiana guys on here!:cheers:

Yes, thanks Zeb - we're heading for Faulkton on the 23rd (how far west of Redfield were ya)...even if the bird numbers are down we seem to always have a great time with our group and cathing up with some old friends while we're there! :cheers:

Hey Fred - I am from Greenfield and a group of us go out to Faulkton SD every year to hunt some private lands. Unfortunately we're not heading that way until 10/22 or we could maybe meet up and hunt some together...I agree with the others - afternoon ditches are pretty sweet if public lands are...

AGREED - gotta love that site after taking the shot!

Here my girl's first flush - quail here in Indiana.

JMc - that's a good idea and I've got a least two of those small coolers at home, I could def make one my "waterer". I also carry water bottles while in the field. It's nice to put something on the ground for her to drink out of when we get back to the truck, while we're gathering and recounting...

What the???? This has got to be some kind of joke, right? Please tell me it's a joke....:laugh:

Bleu - beautiful gun there - very jealous! Mine is an 870 Wingmaster 12g - that is going to be handed down to my son on his first SD trip next year. Replacement will be either Rem 1187 or similar semi-12g

Very interesting article gsp - I am def going to start looking up somemore info on this. I am familiar with aged beef but I have never heard of "resting" or aging your birds before, but i am fairly new to the bird game (4-5 yrs). I have already forwarded this on to my hunting buddies and will...

@ zeb - yeah, those look like pretty much the same idea (gravity fed) and better than $55 for sure - I'll try and find one here locally if I can. You know anytime something is "diamond plated" the price is automatically inflated - oh well. @ gsp - I hear ya, whenever I get my waterer I'll just...

Found it!!! Okay, I finally found it on Gun Dog Supply - I promise I had looked on there over and over and didn't see it! :( This is not the exact one I've seen but the same concept none the less. Sorry for wasting your time on this - duh...

I've done some searching on here and some other places online and can't seem to find what I am looking for...so here goes my shot at trying to describe it and see what happens - a gentleman I have hunted with a couple of times in Faulkton SD (he lives in/near Huron I believe) has a waterer for...
