    Let’s talk boots (older crowd on here)

    I am approaching 50 and running into the same issue. Like most of you, I have been through all the boots (Rocky, Irish Setter, Danner) and they just aren't comfortable anymore. I think its more of a weight issue, me and the boots. If it is going to be relatively dry, I have gone to Salomon...

    What is the best pair of boots you ever owned for hunting pheasants?

    Upland Game in GA?

    I am from south GA. There are not any wild pheasants in GA and very few quail left. That is unless you have very good connections with the few plantations that still manage for wild birds. You can pay to hunt wild birds at a few places, but you better have deep pockets. On the other hand, plenty...

    Winner Area Opening Weekend.....

    Not hard to pick out the Obama supporter in this thread. Could you greedy SD farmers also leave your house unlocked so I have somewhere to stay and the keys in your truck, no need in me wasting my gas. Make sure the refrigerator and liquor cabinet are also stocked. Some people always want...
