You got very lucky, although I would not place yourself in that kind of situation again. If it is that cold outside you should have a partner with you.

Find a place and shoot some pen raised birds, this is not the time of year to muck about in crap weather with a 13 year old to worry about.

I want no snow so the roads will stay open so I can shoot Roosters on Christmas eve. Although I could settle for a light dusting.

No snow on Christmas eve.

Oh well the Golden Pheasant stays in the inventory, and since I will be going to a private place on Christmas eve it is all good. I don't worry to much about the Game Wardens wisturkeyhunter, being a fellow state employee I see them enough in my day job.

Which according to the State is non-toxic. Hence the nickel plating.

Honestly I think this debate is a bit silly. Steel does not have the knockdown power compared to lead shot. However the state requires non toxic shot to be used in the walk in areas. So I just buy the Fiocchi Golden Pheasant and it does the job. There are other people who use the land as well...

I would go for option # 4 for the variety. The idea of having a place to yourself is very nice and makes it more enjoyable and honestly some days I just don't feel like sharing with dozens of other hunters. My family is going to try to do a hunt on Christmas eve at a private place, which will...

Good deal what part of the state are you going to head to? I have pulled out 7 birds so far this season and that is not to bad so far. Although the game and fish has been pretty damn cheap this season, when it comes to the walk in areas.

I would prefer to call it enhancing your chances of success, the more you pay the better chances you might have.

The only guarantees in life are death and taxes.

That is just life though and you know that, you pay your money and you take your chances. I can understand from a business perspective how the 5 bird limit will help out many people and bring in the money. So many folks will have an economic incentive for the new changes this year. However...

The residents of any state can do what they want to. However when it appears that somebody drives just to rack up the body count, that just seems to be shooting for the hell of it. 5 Birds per day and a possesion limit of 25 is a bit much. I guess I am just used to my 3/9.

You seem like the typical eastern shooter to be honest. You drive to shoot lots of birds and that is about it. My question is how long does it take you to eat all those birds?

I must say I just can't compete with that! When I bought the new vehicle last year it was the SUV type. They are a bit easier on the gas budget and more family friendly then another truck. However no room for a gun rack, I will just have to use the glove box and the back of the Escape. Although...
