This past season, my son hunted again on the mentor program in Wisconsin. We switched off carrying my Stevens 5100 16 gauge. Its light and does kick a little but he likes it. I started out with my dads stevens 311 .410 and carried it for two seasons. Got a few squirrels with it. My youngest...

If they start a grouse stamp, ill need one next year. Skipping South Dakota and heading to Park Falls......

I'd also have a non resident grouse stamp $50 too. Majority of that money would go toward the management of sharptail grouse. I'd like to see these native game birds of the prairie thrive in Wisconsin. We have some in huntable numbers but I gotta believe it could be better. I know that most of...

When it get cold enough, i have a browning jacket, insulated that i wear. Shell loops, pockets,the whole nine yards. The best thing is i found it on a clearance rack for $19.99 original price was $140.00.

Well, thanks for telling me in so many words that your service is better than this one but as i stated, i only have two people shooting, your service has a minimum of four. ANYONE ELSE, if you can assist me, id appreciate it. DakotaZeb, this is for next year.

Dont have the time to check out a bunch of WIHA before my trip. This place seemed the most reasonable. www.southdakotawild.com There are other places but i only have two people shooting. If uncomfortable answering here, send a p.m.

Seasons over here too. I will hit a preserve a couple more times. My wife is taking me to one for my 40th birthday on the 3rd of March. Plan to get out for some sporting clays and hunters safety with my son. South Dakota doesnt care how long ive been hunting but the class will be good for the...

Tough loss man. I just put my almost 13 year old lab down a couple of days ago. 2011 can kiss my "where the sun dont shine" It sucked, good riddance. Hope 2012 is better.....

Probably my favorite picture here.

Thanks for the kind words guys. We still have a 2 year old black lab who has become a great hunting dog. Its getting easier but i still find myself looking for her in the house. The thing i hate the most is i never took her to South Dakota for the one big trip. Today the vets office called so...

Knew it was comming for some time. The past two months weve been picking up her back legs to get upstairs. A couple of days ago she stopped drinking water. Took her to the vet yesterday for the last time. I knew it would be hard but holy cow, it sucks. The worst was right before i left, i...

Christmas Eve is the biggie in my family. Were Pollacks so its no meat on X-Mas eve. Fish, usually salmon and whitefish,smelt, shrimp and so forth. My wife,two boys, and I made homemade pierogis yesterday. We do this at my aunts house now but it used to be at my grandparents apartment which...

Gonna try the afternoon of 12/26. Season is almost over...............

Try a couple books from Jim Fergus A Hunters Road The Sporting Road. I read them before every season.

Good info wisconsinturkeyhunter. Im going to try and get out a couple more times this year.....
