    Can you tell if a shot rooster is going to run?

    I watched a rooster take a hit once - it busted his wing badly, and I swear he hit the ground at 40mph. You actually heard the thud. I figured 'Dead bird', so my sports and I casually sauntered over to where the bird had hit, only to find the dog circling the area frantically, trying to find...

    LL Bean Technical Boots - made the plunge

    I have a friend that works as a guide at a preserve. He gave them a try. Ended up sending them back due to leaks. Hopefully they've improved.

    How many people hunt preserve birds?

    Unfortunately, if I want to hunt pheasant without having to invest a lot of $$ in travel, it's preserve only. I also guide at one. We stock early, and always have a healthy population of birds that are quite wild - not just released the day of your hunt. No limits, either. Bonus.

    Lyme Disease

    Just wondering if anyone on here has ever suffered from Lyme Disease. I got in to some ticks at the end of September, and since early October, I've been battling a strange set of symptoms that haven't been explained by bloodwork yet. I do not recall being bit by a tick. But, there could have...

    I Screwed Up

    Well, here it is, less than two weeks until I hit the fields for the first time for pheasant this year, and I take a tumble down the stairs and break my wrist. Got a pretty blaze orange cast out of it, and one heck of a headache. I'm not going to let the cast ruin my hunt - I'm not canceling...
