Found in Eden Prairie, MN.

Found Missing Dog on Mount Curve Road at 2:15pm on Tuesday, November 20th. Bringing to Flying Cloud Animal Shelter now to see if it has a chip in it. Collar does not have a contact name or number. Call 763.807.3027 or 612.481.0585 if this is your dog or you know who's it is. Thanks!

By "lobby", you mean you did your cooking down in the breakfast room of the hotel?

I've only been hunting pheasants for the last 20 years, surprisingly since I grew up in SD then moved to MN after college. But I grew up in western SD hunting sharptail grouse, whitetail, mule deer, pronghorn, and shooting prairie dogs. There were no pheasants in the area I grew up and still...

Interesting. A dead (or live) human might cause that reaction. But since you and your dog were likely working into the wind you probably would also have smelled a dead body yourself in addition to your dog. My guess is a large cat. For what it's worth, my male GSP likes to chase fox and...

Close to harvested crops. The colder and snowier the weather, the thicker the cover they will be in.

Hunted SW on Fri and Sat, 12/1 and 12/2. Great weather to be out! This is my GSP's 13th hunting season and he was pretty worn out by the afternoon of day 2. Friday was a success, we jumped about a dozen hens and 3 roosters, killed 2 roosters. The 2nd rooster was on the edge of cattails and...

I'm also interested. My GSP is hunting his 13th season this year.

For evening meals when living sort of primitive I usually bring stuff that's easy to throw together and cook, or make at home and just reheat. Last month I did an elk hunt in CO and 2 guys camped next to us, we were all tent camping at the truck. They fed me one night and I found my new go-to...

I agree and have killed pheasants on Waterfowl Production Areas. Those that have some cattails, weeds, sloughs, maybe a few trees, and especially those that border farm fields especially corn fields. Those Waterfowl Production Areas that happen to exist in an all-prairie area with no corn or...

"That is why they generally have no trees and no food plots." I would add "and no pheasants". Seems like an opportunity, no?

"It was rare to find a GPA with a good shelter belt or two, some sort of food source crop and a little cover." This is something SD lacks IMHO. Of the numerous public WMA's or WPA's in SD I've hunted I know of only a couple that have a corn or other type of food plot on them to attract...

I recall around 2000-2003, the birds were doing well back then and it was before SD started the resident-only opener 1 week early, which is allowed on PUBLIC land only as a slap in the face to us NR public land hunters. Anyway, back then we had some great opening weekends with plenty of action...

Yes I had a good time, nice meeting some new like-minded pheasant hunters. More important my dog enjoyed getting out and he did well. Thanks for setting up the hunt.

511MN.org shows major road construction but no road closure on I494 through Plymouth. Maybe it won't be too bad on a Saturday morning. Or take I394 east to 169N to 694 then 94. I-494 in both directions: Roadway reduced to two lanes. share Between MN 55 (Plymouth) and I-94 (Maple Grove). The...
