It looks like this storm is targeting the prime areas. Let's hope the totals aren't as high as predicted. We don't need a lot of snow on top of thin ice.

I have been having great hunting on public land in NW Iowa this season. I have been mostly hunting on Fridays and have been seeing a few other hunters out. I was out last Friday and with the ice and lack of wind the birds were really jumpy. Hens outnumbered roosters at least 10 to 1. I got 2...

I mount birds also and have never eaten a clients bird. I just don't know how it was handled before it got to me. i have skinned a few turkeys for people on the day they shot them so they could keep the meat. If your concerned about the waste bring it to the guy your using unfrozen and he may...

Glad your OK. How far away was the shooter?

Pheasants Forever is 100% AGAINST releasing pheasants.

I often shoot limits on public land, even in December. I doubt it would work here. You can get on private land fairly easy by politely asking. Unless you have a ton of land, you would also run out of wild birds and have to release pen raised half way through the season. I hope our hunting...

Another kick to the swimsuit area.

Our Roadside Survey is released tomorrow. My prediction, up 30%.

Too many guys.

My guess is down 35%.

Stop by and see me at booth 1539, Temple Taxidermy. I would love to meet you folks.
