    Need a trainer for military friend that is deploying, specifically rabbit, around IL

    Hello All, Apologies if I am missing some protocol as to where I should place this post, but it didn't seem to fit anywhere specifically so I thought I would just throw it out here. A very good buddy of mine (hunting-wise and in general) just got a pup and had planned to train him up for...

    Sunday Pictures

    Great pictures I always mean to take pictures when I'm out, but seem to forget until I get back to truck. They look great, very cool action shots.

    IA pheasant trip

    Thought I would share a few pics from my annual trip out to Sabula, IA with my old military buddies. Went much earlier than usual this year and the fields were still pretty thick, resulting in a few shot-but-unrecovered birds and a lot of runners. All in all probably my worst trip as far as...

    Veteran/Military Hunts in Eastern/Central PA

    I was wondering if anyone knew of any Military or Veteran hunts taking place in PA. I used to do one on border of IA every year which was a great way to meet other hunters and thought I would ask around. Thanks.

    Dog First Aid Kit for the Field

    My dad has been a volunteer EMT/Paramedic/Firefighter for years and he would always grab me expired supplies from the ambulance that they were going to throw out. Used to keep them in the truck for my dog (or me for that matter) when hunting or camping. If you have a buddy that is a Volunteer...

    Tenzing PF BV13 Review

    @gsppurist One of the things that I liked about the vest was the fact that everything felt secure and " in it's place". No rubbing or flopping around. I can't speak for a violent tornado, but I did some grouse hunting through heavy brush which resulted in a couple of spills and a lot of...

    Tenzing PF BV13 Review

    @airmedic1 The vest is one size fits all, but it is adjustable at so many points that I can't see it being a problem. I am very picky about fit with gear like this and after a few minutes of tightening here and loosening there was able to get a fit that rivaled even my well worn military LBE...

    Tenzing PF BV13 Review

    Just went through my first season with my Tenzing TZ BV13 Bird Vest from the Pheasants Forever store and I thought that I would throw up a review on it since there didn?t seem to be much out there on it. Hope people find it useful. First a little bit about what I was looking for in a vest. I...

    New to PA, looking for a hunt around Phoenixville

    I recently moved to PA from Illinois and I am not familiar with the area. I am looking for any advice on good public land in the Phoenixville area. Would also like to meet up with anybody in my area that is going out and wouldn't mind a tag along. Thanks.

    Cabelas

    Cabela's is great for the in store eye-candy, but not so great for non-branded gear. There are a lot of quality options for upland gear. I'm actually a big fan of the Pheasants Forever store for gear, plus it supports the cause so I don't mind the few extra bucks I pay. I always look there...

    Small Munsterlander?

    Looking for advice and guidance on small munsterlanders. So I have a great dog (even after my wife coddled him into submission), black pointing lab from Hunter's Marsh in Kentucky, Gunner Get'em. Probably the best all around dog I've ever had. But he is closing on 11 years old, getting a...

    What shotguns are you hunting with?

    Beretta A400 Xplor Light Kick Off, 28" 12 gauge So I recently had the chance to shoot the Beretta A400 Xplor Light 26" in 20 gauge at the trap range. The gun had the kickoff stock, which I thought was a gimmick. Man, what a light, quick shouldering gun. Not the best suited for trap or skeet...

    Howdy from Illinois

    Hello. Name is Nate, currently living in northeast Illinois just off the Wisconsin border. Planning to relocate to Pennsylvania in the next couple of months, but we'll see what happens. I have recently gotten back into upland hunting in the last 2 years, did a lot with my dad growing up in...
