    Winchester SX4 or something else?

    Wyoguy, I just purchased a remington V3 semiauto, should have it tomorrow. From what I seen the reviews are pretty good, I shoulderd one at a local store, felt good, almost like the ol 870. I been shooting a A400 xplor, while I like the gun and lack of recoil I have had some issues and it just...

    New FarmBill

    I would love to see the cap raised, good for all wildlife and the environment. With the current prices on commodities, taking some of the "marginal" land out of crop production and back to CRP ( wildlife ) could make sense. From what I have heard, they had more farmers wanting to put acres into...

    Steel Shot

    i think federal makes a donation to PH for each box sold on the praire storm line. Yep the Fiocchi are good shells, a buddy of mine used the 28 ga. load and would just smack em with it, pretty impressive. 1 oz load of copper 5's I think it was, they darn sure killed the birds! All will work...

    Springer Hunt?

    They usually close the springer just before goose season opens. Glendo can be fairly decent, but it is full of cockle burrs and stickers, if you have a long haird dog, they are going to be a mess. Also, most of it has a bunch of willow trees and the birds run wild in those, often so thick the...

    end of season hunt

    I may be wrong, but I know in some states they do. But dont the Game and Fish pay property taxes on the land they own? Just reading the post and it was mentioned the "..land is no longer on the tax roll.." and I thought of that. maybe its ND...anyway just wondering. I think everyone has made at...

    Late season thoughts

    Central KS hunt Dec 18-22nd Hunted central KS for 2nd year. Last year, we got into some quail, but pheasants were hard to find, few hens. This year was much better, still not overrun with pheasants but enought to keep it fun, dogs had some good work and we got into some quail again. The thing...
