I've only been to East river SD and West River ND; west river ND had alot of birds and little to no pressure in Dec. (granted this was about 4 years ago). I have always wanted to try NE or KS though. Your MT trip should be great with opportunities for a mixed bag
The old adage of "Theres not...
Hey Guys, we have a deposit down for a PP, i'm starting to read Bob Farris's training book, only part i'm trying to figure out is the steadiness portion. Do you guys train your pointers to be steady until the flush or do you train them to be steady until after the shot/bird fall?
We have a lab...
and this is the first time I"ve read anywhere else about a "permit maybe granted." When I first reached out to TCF about this, they never mentioned that when I inquired about hunting, so we'll see if this even becomes an issue
In some parts of the state this is true, but alot of it comes down to the county as they seem to have a anti-net gain in public lands and have the final say on land sales (go figure, a landowner cant sell or donate their land to whoever they want)
The Payment In Lieu of Taxes (PILT) payments...
At first glance, I thought this was great news as most potlatch lands are leased out, but I found this excerpt from the Park Rapids Enterprise which is not what I wanted to read:
Great pics and explanations!
Only thing I would do is keep the shanks as is and slow cook them in a dutch oven later and all of the tendons break down!
I made the switch a few years ago, but during my research, the only complaint I read was about the vital hits having minimal blood trails due to the entrance and exit holes being the size of the diameter of a pencil. Those seemed to combat this by shooting in the shoulder to lock them down and...
I'm with you MNElk! Heading to the Paul bunyan state forest at lunch!
Where are you heading?
The worst part for me right now is that my 6 year old really wants to come, he really enjoys the hunting shack and the company around it. Last night, I overheard him say to mom, as she asked what they...
Ontario, I'm with you until you throw it in the fire; in our ice house we dont have any plumbing, just a toilet seat over a bucket, after business, we tie off the bag, set it outside, if its freezing even better (less chance of the bag ripping open) otherwise when we leave we place the bags back...
Last night was alittle better, had a fawn walk within 23 yds, I pulled back, then talked myself out of it;
@MN_Bowhunter4 you taking the rifle out this weekend or sticking with your bow?
So my 10 year old lab has a small growth on his leg, first it was the size of a pimple, now it has doubled in size and I've noticed hes licking it more.
When I was at the vet this past spring, they said its nothing to worry about unless it starts bothering him. After a bird hunt, it gets pretty...
Sounds exactly how my hunt went last night as well, maybe this warm spell kept them bedded up until dark. First time on the city property that I have not even seen a deer was last night.
Hoping tomorrow night is different before I head to deer camp; good luck!
Elliot, I have similar feelings on bear hunting over bait, I've done it (with no luck) but can take it or leave it. I've thought the samething as well as far as doing it baitless or predator calling. Now I just don't have the time to do it
I would think if you could find some cuttings in the...
My late great uncle's homemade antler knife. I received it after he died, and when I was 15, i brought it with bowhunting and while waiting at the gate for my mom to pick me up, I believe I left the knife behind. Still bothers me...
