Our group all sign up early and pay ahead knowing we are going regardless of the hatch and like many have fun no matter the number of birds seen or killed. As Haymaker pointed out, he has his costs regardless of bird numbers and comping a hunt isn’t fair for the farmer. The word Value from the...

Criticism...I would bank on that getting you on his top ten ways to not get invited back!

Hunted his PC last week and would say bird numbers down 40+ percent. Shot some very small roosters. Some corn standing near the one farm that should make it good for one of the weeks, but all in all....down. First time, I had 2 hens from a previous group returned to my hand by the dogs. No...

My son and I shoot PS out of Carlson black cloud, mid range choke tubes.....it's good stuff. Not to many days do we end the day without our birds. I have never understood how some with will spend thousands on decoys or out of state hunts and skimp a $20 box of shells. "I didn't come this far...

Ditto on this. I have seen guys drink pickle juice and it seems to work. I would have to be in pretty rough shape to drink the stuff.

Awesome pictures. Seeing them put a smile on my face. Thanks for your time doing the contest.

Ok,mi need to do this the long way, here is one more of the pics.

Here are a few of my favorites. The one pic with Chopper was posted back on another thread, but thought I would bring it over her. Two of these three boys could only walk, not shoot. They stuck with it for three long days of walking never complaining. I'm sure pop and candy may have help them...

Understood. It's working for u, as you are still getting them.

I don't get how that is the case with closer working, slower labs versus the short hairs???? Working cover with a lab may be slower and more tedious, but has always seemed to produce more consistently.

No kidding on the fugitives. With the refuge near, your food plots, crp and management its the perfect recipe for big bird numbers.

Chris- if it's the same place I am thinking, we witnessed a few hundred flying from the cut corn into the refuge the last evening we hunted. At first, the number of birds had me thinking they were ducks landing in a wet hole, but it didn't take long to realize they were all pheasants. They...
