We hunted Frederic/Grayling MI (LP) from Oct 14-19, grouse were thin but Timberdoodles were in, solid numbers, 15-25 flushes/session, aspen thickets and I mean THICK. Most birds were along large tracts of aspen within 40 yds of forest roads, but we also hunted the backs and hardwood edges. We...

Howdy folks, We are going back to SW MN for another wild pheasant hunt this Nov 5-18, part of which will have us there for a few days of deer season. Will be hunting public, private and CRP lands. The Blaze requirements for deer season include SOLID blaze over the ENTIRE upper body, kinda...

Nice video with lots of action! Watch closely about 2:15 when the hunter in blue holds off shooting as the bird rises and turns to the right, and the dog comes up... coulda turned out bad but shooter experience and awareness shows. :thumbsup: Is that you and your dog? Good work! :cheers...

good advice--- I've been shooting some clays from select skeet and trap stations, and using a low-gun (field) mount and swing. And y'all are right abt letting 'em get a bit out before slapping the trigger-- I've been waiting longer on trap targets and my scores are improved! Sure will post up...

Thanks for all the tips guys! Starting the drive up this Saturday, wishing we could leave Now! Will double-check on that goose season regulation. We are using Lac Qui Parle SP as our base, but will be driving to surrounding public and private lands outside the park for our hunting. I've found...

Thanks for the suggestions, gentlemen. LCQ State Park looks interesting on the web, we have a cabin to base out of. I've ridden the 'SilverDawg' through MN in the Spring, beautiful country!---must've seen 10,000 lakes;) Thanks for all the well-wishes, hope to post pics of a memorable trip!

I use and like the Lacrosse AlphaBurley's for a rubber knee-high. The back is gusseted for calf fit and to help w/ putting on and off; rubber is pliable and thick, not flimsy at all; great ankle fit and stable feel, warm in freezing temps(not sub-zero) but they are a PAIN to put on/off, even w/...

Thanks for the input, jonnyB. We are focused on pheasant, w/ ducks secondary if at all--actually hope some dove are flying, as well. Using an o/u, so my thinking is imp cyl or modified, and light modified; from my searches, thinking #5's for phez in lead but aware of non-toxic issues and #3...

Thanks for the welcome! I posted plans in the MN forum, appreciate any advice!
