I was out today and shot at a rooster flying hard - he was climbing high and quartering away from me right to left. Well, I shot at 20-25 yards away and thought the shot was good. He didn’t fall or act immediately like he was hit, but I remember noticing that he didn’t flap his wings after the...

He asked you to join, so I wouldn’t have any hard feelings on the chance a bird got up and you harvested it assuming you’re not overtaking his shooting lanes or anything. With him inviting you to join, I think he just wanted to help you out via his dog and he wasn’t going to be a try hard butt...

And he’s a sharp shooter as well! ;) Hey hey, don’t laugh but it took me into my second season to bag my first bird. And that was with my dad and a dog. Now you’ll have to turn on your chef hat and have a tasty meal with him.

Let’s go! That’s exciting news. Congrats on losing your “bird card” 😂 Did you have a dog with you or go solo?

Lol “claims he’s a CPA”. You know your argument is solid when you resort to that ? I think I’ve made it clear I know my stuff. I’m not going to give you my license #. You made that a point of your reasoning - that the financials show PF is “bad”, so now you’re questioning my credibility since...

Alright, I don’t think you really want a fair discussion. You have your opinion and you’re set. Even harping on them for diversifying their board, come on, buddy. You say I don’t know everything about financials - very true. But, I sure as heck know a lot more about financials than you and the...

In the nicest way possible, I’m a CPA and your comments show me you're uninformed on how a nonprofit’s structure/financial restrictions work. A couple of things: the CEO, Marilyn Vetter, makes $300k per the latest return. That’s not “exorbitant” as you claim. Executive pay was $2.5M for 11...

Yeah, I should've picked up on that ??

I mean PF is a pretty decentralized organization with local chapters controlling how funds should be spent, electing local officers, and choosing what projects to take on.

Lol that's a big claim to say they've engaged in egregious fraud and the rest without evidence. It seems some of you are skeptical of large organizations in general (oh they're just benefitting large private donors or enriching executives) and use that as reasons to dislike/be wary of PF. Your...

Yep, if you're going to say something, back it up. It's not very insightful when people say it's a scam or they won't donate again. I've seen complaints about the quality of public lands (PF posted lands or not) but imagine not having those lands to hunt in the first place. And, before people...

Had an exciting hunt today. Rolled in to the parking spot and saw a hen and two roosters a ways in before I even parked. Well this’ll be the easiest hunt ever I thought. I quietly get ready and walk out. I didn’t even get the dog out of the car for fear she’d mess the whole thing up - she likes...

Right you are! Went hunting for the first time after all the snow and the bird food plot was hammered with tracks and birds. I thought it was interesting with the Pheasant Fact Friday from yesterday that you posted. PF usually kind of downplays the importance of food in winter - emphasizing...

I was going to say the same thing - near Danbury, WI for me. My wife’s family has a cabin nearby, and I thought I’d try grouse hunting for the first time with my dog. Went off on a trail I thought I’d follow in and out, but one trail turned into a couple and I was lost for an hour or two...

Nice unique buck to "break" that rifle in!
