    California Forum Newb - Midwest Transplant

    I took my lumps this summer - broke my leg on a backpacking trip. At least they didn't have to take me out back and shoot me! By the way, quail hound... you're probably too young to understand the reference, but "Wow, that's fantastic bass!" (For your eductation: http://www.hulu.com/watch/19046)

    California Forum Newb - Midwest Transplant

    No, it was their younger dog Izzy. If I remember right they were hunting and she ran into a log that poked her carotid artery, she was gone in a matter of minutes. I can't imagine having to watch that happen.

    California Forum Newb - Midwest Transplant

    If you think Hauck has a thick accent, wait'll you hear mine! Hah! Those PF boys are good people. Really sad about Bob's dog last year, though he got a new pup last fall, I imagine they've been out this year. Here's Hauck and one of the other PF guys on a photo shoot we did a few years ago for...

    California Forum Newb - Midwest Transplant

    Ditchparrot, You're right on, that is most certainly an Ithaca Model 37 featherweight - even better, it's a 16 gauge - an ideal upland gun. It was my grandfather's, and he only used it with slugs for deer hunting, but it's been a fantastic pheasant dropping machine. The only downside to the...

    California Forum Newb - Midwest Transplant

    Gentlemen (and Lady.. there's always one lurking somewhere who puts up with our sh*t) of the Golden State, I'm a new CA implant fresh in from the wetter (and colder) climes of Minnesota. This isn't my first tour of California - I lived in the LA area for 6 years in the early oughts, but this is...

    MN Hunting Reports

    Good day out for me as well today. 6 birds between 3 guys, and I shot 4 of 'em :) The ol' shotgun seems to be working better for me this week. We definitely didn't find those birds in MN, because there aren't any birds in MN...

    SD trip was horrible

    No sh*t! Good on your dog to stay put. Bummer it was a bit of a blown trip. Anybody talk to SMO since he was in SD? I wonder if he fared any better than what you guys saw.

    MN Hunting Reports

    Got out yesterday afternoon for a few hours in the Howard Lake area. Worked a bunch of different small properties, hopscotching between them and just hitting the likely areas. Flushed a rooster out of the first spot within 10 minutes. He was sitting in woodsy cover and took of into the woods...

    MN Hunting Reports

    Decided to throw caution to the wind yesterday and sneak out for a couple hours, with only marginal approval from the Mrs.... but it was a risk I had to take! There was fresh snow and black dog wanted to get out just as badly as I did. Worked some semi-popular land south of the cities so my...

    USDA Crop harvest reports

    I'm surprised at the amount of corn still out there, though I think part of it involves some of the sporadic rain this fall. It seemed just as there was enough dry weather to harvest, we'd get just enough rain to put the brakes on it, and they weren't able to take everything out. Then they'd be...
