I hunt with my wife quite a bit. She's not quite as hardcore as me, but she's not far off. She was out with me this past Sunday when the wind chill was minus-8. She's been known to cook up out of state hunting trip ideas for us on her own. She has way less time off work than I do, so she...

Don't forget........no grab-ass!!

If it's in the public hunting atlas, and also OnX, it's pretty strange for it to not have any signs. But I do come across WIA's and CREP spots from time to time that have had the signs removed, or just pushed over so they're laying down in the grass and not very visible. Every time I've seen...

I was out in eastern SD on tue and stepped through some ice in cattails. No big deal, the water was only about 6 inches deep but I was kinda surprised how easily I went through. I'm not exactly petite though, 240 lbs.

Sounds like a great trip!!

You're gonna love it. This pic is from last season, first time I carried my wife's 28ga Ethos. Was in a bit of a shooting slump.....had been shooting my 7.5 lb 16ga 1100 on that trip and thought, "what the heck, might as well mix it up and try something else". Got a double about 30 seconds...

I'm terrible about leaving stuff behind that I needed to take with me. Like ammo. Twice this season, I've left the house to go hunting and discovered later that I didn't put my ammo bag in the vehicle. First time was in Sept, and I had just driven to a spot almost 3 hours away, west river, to...

I kinda won the wife lottery, she likes to hunt almost as much as I do. We went to SD to hunt pheasant for our honeymoon, 9 years ago. (while living overseas, no less) And now we live here. That's not how things were with my first wife, to say the least.

I use a Trulock light-mod about 90% of the time in my new-style Sweet 16. I use Trulocks in a bunch of my other guns too, very happy with them. The factory DS chokes do indeed throw a much more open pattern than how they're marked.

It's true, I've done it several times.

Nice recap, thanks for sharing!

I have a 12v fridge in both of my hunting vehicles. So far this season, birds that I've shot have been in one of those fridges for 2-3 days until I get around to cleaning them. It's pretty much staying below 50 degrees in my garage all the time now, so I'll start putting them in there for few...

Very nice, that jambalaya is right up my alley!!

Killer quail cover in the pic of the muley!

100% legal to shoot at a bird that is over private, if it originated in the ROW. Been a while since I've looked at the regs, so I just read over them again. The regs state that game must originate in the ROW, or be flying over the ROW.....so a bird that flushes from private is fair game if it...
