    What is the best pair of boots you ever owned for hunting pheasants?

    Russel moccasin, a little pricey, takes a little time to get custom made BUT very high quality !!! Keep leather treated, feet NEVER have gotten wet !!

    Braque Francais - The French Pointer

    10 foot corn in drought country

    10 foot tall corn --- NOT fun to hunt , offers no more cover for birds than 5 foot tall corn. Being in the seed business - more than likely the tall (out of date) silage was cheaper seed. No reason the tall silage corn could not be RR.

    Article 4 in The Case for Pheasants Series from UGUIDE

    Chris-- ANOTHER very good article !!! thanks for putting so much research and thought into these articles . I still question how much influence the Bt gene (GMO corn ) has had on insects for pheasants. Foxtail in corn ( all row crops) was a great place to hunt pheasants, Round-up has taken care...

    Article 4 in The Case for Pheasants Series from UGUIDE

    Chris Very good series of articles !!! Have you done any research on how the Bt gene insertion in corn has effected any insect numbers ?? ( grasshoppers ) GMO is not a friend to wildlife. Have you sent these to all of your U-Guide farms ???
